Only judge the past by the present if you want yours to be judged by the future.

Is that the one with Rand in a Puffy white shirt that shows his whole chest and one of his harem next to him?

It can't possibly have anything to do with women being more social than men and men being more object oriented.....

I'm not so sure that's the same thing as what JK does.

Yes but it's not really chekovs gun stuff that often, because for that you have to have planned to use it whereas JK tends to just act like she planned it the whole time.

I've been waiting for a decade for Attack on Titan to conclude. The good things are worth it even if they never get finished imo

>A lot of people like to pretend that they're neutral, that they only like interesting stories, but they're often the ones with the largest prejudices and blindspots.
In my experience it's usually the ones who assume other people have "internalized misogyny" because of their reading preferences.

Reply to comment by SAT0725 in People give George R.R. Martin grief for the delay of "The Winds of Winter," but imagine trying to write a continuation of your series after HBO already wrote their own ending to it... by SAT0725
As a writer I can tell you that the TV show and Books are so different that a writer of GRRMs skill can still write a final book in under 8 years even if the show's ending had the same main plot points as the book's. You can make a triangle that looks entirely different from another triangle, it's not difficult, Shakespeare and every other Renaissance writer didnt seem to have any trouble with it. Furthermore...... he knew this was happening so should have, or did, plan for this exact thing.

Why would HBO affect GRRMs ability to write an ending in any way at all?

Are you saying the book with a talking tree that laments deforestation as literal murder isn't environmental at all or am I misreading this situation?

Horror movies in general seem to have a bunch of cool concepts but often lack in execution.

Hating a movie for showing racism or sexism even though the entire point of the movie is that the racism or sexism is wrong. Then getting torn apart in the comments for being a moron.
