Hope you guys like a small rant; it's been on my mind for almost a month
First off, I've always disliked it ever since I tried to read it when it came out (reasons coming later), but lately it's totally been on my nerves, mainly because of three reasons:
1.) the movie is coming out soon
2.) my sister and my special lady-friend
like it a lot and keep talking about it
3.) others have been "converted" towards it lately
Now, the reasons: ever since I picked it up and read it, I disliked it purely because of the style it was written in (almost juvenile quality), and all those garbled names. In my opinion, it doesn't take much imagination to pull such fantasy names and towns out of your...yeah, to create them.
Fast forward to now. The movie is fast approaching (this week too, iirc), and my sis has been watching trailers and looking at every photo of it she can get her mouse on. And the more I look over or watch it to appease her, the more I'm disgusted by it.
The movie looks as bad as Stormbreaker (dunno how many of you know what that is); an invincible teenager (and of course he's "hot" just to attract the girls) who is glorified and acts like he's all that. The other adult characters are announced so prominently in such a manner that it it's like they too are big showoffs who think they know everything and have everything under control.
Add that with the Dragon Ball Z stuff (great balls of fire, literally) I see flying around, and I'm just getting more ticked off with every mention of the movie and/or book I hear.
Somebody, please chime in and say you hate the series too, so I don't feel so alone in this messed up world.
