I'm really really really sick of books that are just way too long. This usually happens in YA, authors will think good=long and they'll write these bricks that's mostly fluff. It's just really annoying.
What is considered a brick, because I hate short books. 300 and less is too short.
Like 800-900+. I'm fine with long books (like Harry Potter, Cress and Winter, War and Peace) but they need a reason to be long.
- No. It's not. There's also Gary Stu, we just say Mary Sue because that is the more widely said version. I call guy characters Mary Sues as well. There's nothing sexist about it. Sure you can call female characters Mary Sues without good reason, but that doesn't mean the term is wrong or sexist.
- Well I do. But not really I guess. You can do what you want.
3.The videos were not actually that bad. Rey is OP for no decent reason. Has she ever done anything morally ambiguous? What's her personality? Everyone loves her without due cause. As far as I know (Which to be fair is relatively limited.) she has yet to make a mistake.
Yeah they were that bad. She just has high midichlorians, why does she need a reason? No one asks why Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Yoda, Kanan, and literally anyone else are powerful. She literally left training to go talk to the villain, I'd call that ambiguous. She's a caring, naive, and insecure girl. Not everyone loves her, there's a difference between loving someone and being intrigued by them. She makes mistakes, she left her training early, she got herself caught by Kylo first and then Snoke, and we're only on the second movie, she still isn't a fully developed character. She still can make mistakes.
Anyways, this isn't a debate chat so can we get back on topic please?
GIVE! ME! MORE! ENSEMBLE! CASTS! 2K19!!!

BUT! BUT!
Meh. Okay.
I really hate the thing where a book (usually fantasy or sci-fi/dystopian) has an awesome summary, but the plot never gets focused on and it becomes a romance set in a cool setting. Like the whole "I'm going to overthrow the governmen-ooh, a hot guy!" thing.
Divergent I think had a good relationship.
Also I'd like some antiheroes who are antiheroes beyond 'broody bad boy'. I want antiheroes who are excitable and energetic loose cannons who don't see what's wrong with killing a guy who gets in their way. I want antiheroes who are talkative and can filibuster their way out of situations. I want antiheroes who start off doing the wrong thing but then join a cause by being pressured in.
Basically I want lovable con artist characters.
I just really really want fun characters who aren't perfect!
So……Deadpool.

Oh my god don't even get me started. I hate this so much.

THE SAME LOVE TRIANGLE RECYCLED AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!!
The bad boy vs. childhood friend 'nice guy' one…..I hate it!
Yes.
What if….just this once….MC didn't abandon her life-long friend for a 'bad boy' she sees 1 glimpse of?
Even better what if the lifelong friend was the bad boy?

TRUTH!!!!!!!

Yes!
That'd be a good one!!
Or she does leave to be with the new guy because he is genuinely a nice person.
Yes yes yes!
I don't really like the girl falls in love with the nice guy trope either, to be honest. Here's why:
But:
So neither are good choices.
Well then the nice guy is a “nice guy” not an actual nice guy.
Nice people, good people, kind people, they gain people’s affection. It’s a real thing. So it’s pretty honest to have a girl fall for a kind person. Who wouldn’t?
The other things (Instalove etc.) are wrong in themselves, so they don’t detract from actual nice guy relationship.
Idk if this is just me, but I can almost always tell who endgame will be from the moment the love triangle is introduced.
I knew in THG (but I don't personally consider it to be a love triangle) and I honestly can usually tell endgame ships from pretty early on in a book or series.
