I know this is about books/movies/tv and I do agree, but I can't help but think of o e of the most popular fics in a past fandom of mine. A lot of readers called it intelligent, but what it really was was sesquipedalian for no reason at all. The worst thing was, the author often misused the big words they had almost definitely looked up to sound smarter.

Will you say which fandom?

Pacific Rim.

Ah, okay. There's a fic in one of my old fandoms (not Pacific Rim) that was hotly debated in exactly this way. A huge number of people worship it, but a significant amount of the ones who don't worship it criticize it for being sesquipedalian (the most ironic word in existence, y/y?).

I'm among the crowd that loves this fic immeasurably. IMO it really is incredibly well written and the characters really do come off as genuinely intelligent. But the criticism of it isn't completely unfair either. The author definitely loves fancy words - in some cases maybe slightly too much - and some of the words she used in this fic were probably a bit of a stretch (though most of the time she used them fairly well IMO).
