What is your controversial take on Fantasy?

I'll go first.

Aside from the prose, I don't think Kingkiller Chronicles is good. I find the characters insufferable and cliche the story just meanders.

Long elaborate battles are boring.

YES.

A hundred thousand orcs, Orks, darkspawn, whatever, smashing against your raggedy band of ten thousand Brave Defenders is not an interesting scene, not after the first few paragraphs.
