Re: Vaguely inspired by anon on Secret 3

Nothing that particularly jumps out now, but I'm so sick of things being overhyped and presented as The Next Big Thing. Not everything will be, or SHOULD be, "another Harry Potter" or "the next Hunger Games" or "ooh look the latest superhero retcon/origin story is BIGGER and SHINIER and BETTER than anything ever!!1!"

Can't things stand on their own anymore? Why all the overblown, ridiculous, and usually inapt comparison to [insert media hit here]?

This isn't trying to criticize things that have common threads (Battle Royale and Hunger Games, both of which I enjoyed but for different reasons and with different reservations) or that come from a common place (superhero myths). I'm just sick of the constant, rather desperate, attention-grab tactics that fans and marketing people use.

I am verrryyyy tired of this in regards to YA adaptations. Especially when it looks like it is making them change the plot and such (The Giver).
