I know you meant this as sarcasm, but in the Potterverse, you're not far from the truth. Rowling wrote a great series, but complexity and nuance isn't her fucking forte.

You've got to be kidding, especially on a thread about Snape, who is pretty damn riddled with nuance... most of the characters are, which is why there's always wank about the little details of their characters.

Dude - most of the characters aren't *that* nuanced.

They weren't until the end of Goblet of Fire. It was pretty much a straight kids series until then, characters were one dimensional and either good or bad. Then we came back in Order and suddenly everyone was have shades to their character all over the place. By the time we get to the end of the series virtually everyone except Ron had graduated to multi-levelled character. Especially Snape who could pull fifteen different interps of his character motivations out of his ass in a single chapter. Impressive how Ron remained cardboard until the end though.

Where do all the fandom-fragmenting character wars come from, then? I thought non-nuanced characters lead to relatively straightforward interpretations that most people can agree on. (See Neville or Luna)

You're confusing fanon with canon, dear. Most of the time, fandom will make characters far more complex and nuanced than they were ever written. Seriously, given that large swaths of HP fandom center around stringent beliefs in Harry/Draco, Hermione/Draco, Hermione/Snape, and Remus/Sirius? That's shit fandom made up all on their pretty little own, not some magical skill the original author had at weaving complexity and nuance into her characters.

You are expecting people in fandom to show a decent level of reading comprehension, which is a mistake.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-25 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Fannish delusion =/= reading comprehension, sorry.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-25 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, LOL. Sorry, my bad. I forgot - in something as subjective as literature, I guess it would stand that if you honestly think that is "nuanced," then you probably haven't read anything more complex than that.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-25 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
If you don't think Snape's character is nuanced, then you lack reading comprehension.
