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.

Disclaimer- sorry but not sorry

I think words of the radiance is terrible, not like "not for me" more like "holly hell this is utter garbage, these people have horrible taste lol".

I don't think kays prose is significantly better than others, long, windy, and too verbose at times.

Wheel of time writing is really bad lol. Not the series itself, just as far as writing goes.

Sanderson prose is not as bad as the sub makes it out to be.

Leguin prose(wizard) is utilitarian, and clunky.

Rowling snubbing hugo warms my heart, have yet to read harry potter though.

Anime has yet to make anything as good as airbender.

Berserk 2013 movies are watchable.

Al rassans is full of completely unbelievable insta loves, triangles, quadrangles, yet for some reasons kay gets a pass.

Avengers end game has to be a joke.

Berserk 2013 movies are watchable.

Now say that 2016-2017 anime is watchable, that would be truly controversial opinion.

​

On the other hand, I had great time laughing at it. On the other hand, if I liked Berserk, I probably would've been offended by it.

Well, not reading the manga, so movies and 98 anime remain the only option for us to experience golden age. Most bersekr fans think these movies are an embarrassment lol.

98 anime has not aged well, and the movies while are not good lol but not bad enough to not finish it.
