IA.

It's not even a bad trope really, but it's been massively overused in the last 20 years. There needs to be a moratorium.

[(Anonymous)]

I think another issue with this trope is that it's not usually very subtle. Writers are a bit heavy handed with it because they believe that their audience might not get it, and to be fair, peoples' general comprehension can be kind of cap unless a point is hammered home. It doesn't make for great and nuanced storytelling, unfotunately.

I was JUST reading a novel where the main character (a librarian, but so am I!) just could not stop her internal monologue about ~the magic of books~ and how excited she was whenever she found someone else who ~understood~ ~the magic of books~

I love a good book as much as the next person but COME ON.

I hate it when mediums toot their own horn. Songs about how great music is, movies about the majesty if movies, art about the brilliance of art, gtf over yourselves, yuck.

This one is especially because I see it fairly often and every time it sucks.

Maybe I hate it so much because it feeds into this idea that we can Consume The Right Art out of real world issues and that way lies fandom bullshit.

I have only ever seen this in The Neverending Story, so I’m really curious what everyone here reads and watches.

Ok, USUALLY I agree with you, but that one bit in Hogfather about humans needing fantasy to be human imprinted itself on my brain when I was 12 and never let go lmao

[(Anonymous)]

Hahahaha I immediately thought of GOT.

I don't outright hate it immediately, but yeah most times it comes off a bit too...on the nose. It needs to illicit a feeling of wander and yearning from me to earn any sort of love or catharsis.

"Hugo" is the first movie I can think of as a love letter to filmmaking/creating art that I adored all the way through.

Kurtzman’s Trek is very different from earlier Treks. Some fans only love pre-Kurtzman Trek, some only love Kurtzman Trek, and a very rare few love it all. If people know they hate his Trek Nuniverse, it’s hardly any surprise they’re going express disappointment that he’s allowed to start messing with Lower Decks now. It’s perceived strength is his absence (he’s executive producer but isn’t directly involved and this changes that with him taking over some writing for it).

[(Anonymous)]

Some people just hate fun, and demand everything be super serious business all the damn time

[(Anonymous)]

Strange New Worlds is great. But I really don't like Lower Decks, so I have no interest in a crossover.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you new to Trek fandom?

Do you mean things like Kyou Kara Maou, fushigi Yuugi and Ouran High School Host Club? There are a lot of otome games and harem anime aimed at female audiences out there, even if they aren't quite as numerous as the ones aimed at guys.

Was literally just talking to a friend who found out Jackles is her brother-in-law's exception (as in, "I'm straight, but if I HAD to pick a dude..."). He's a very pretty man!!

Man, I feel like I have Opinions about this secret, but I've only seen up to 2x03 of the show and the only thing I know about JS is that his divorce to Olivia Wilde must have been kind of messy, given some of the shit that was reported on in conjunction with Don't Worry Darling. So my ability to have opinions is limited.

The reason I feel like I have opinion about this secret, is because I LOVE S1 of Ted Lasso, I loved every moment of it from beginning to end, I think it is absolutely wonderful, my heart grew three sizes, etc. But then as soon as I started on S2, it just felt different. It was still the same show, and yet the whole approach felt different by a few pivotal degrees. And while that change didn't feel invalid to me, it felt more like a deconstruction of S1 than something that was building on S1, which was a big nope for me, because I don't personally feel like S1 needed deconstruction.

So yeah, I wish I could engage with this secret more. I definitely have feelings about the show, but I lack adequate context.
