Critics and SF/F vent

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by secret no. 1 and the talk of discovering things in weird ways: I get so weirdly angry when critics or the mainstream are praising something that they've just found and babbling about how new and great it is, when geekdom has been aware of it for a long, long time; the fact it's "new" is because they wouldn't look twice at that kind of culture.

Example: When The Time-Traveller's Wife came out, all the critics were praising it for how astonishingly original the time-travel-romance was. I was just sitting there thinking, "Yeah, great book. Sci-fi fiction and sci-fi fandom have been using this trope for years, except you never read them because they weren't framed as Great Literature and you were snobbish fuckwits."

Or that comic-book movies can have great characterisation and dialogue, not just explosions. No, that didn't start and end with The Avengers; no, it isn't the be-all and end-all of superhero movies.

Yeah, I'm that person.
