- So many spoilers
I enjoy the discussion of the books but wow… if you haven’t read/watched before, it will all be spoiled for you.

United States2 months ago - Unremarkable
More platforms, same empty takes.
They are not fans. They are not serious critics. Just a couple professional fence-sitters with microphones.
Enough hot takes to sound confident. Not enough insight to say anything meaningful.
Everything comes wrapped in fake intellectualism and soft elitism, but there is no real analysis underneath it. Just vague complaints recycled
It is profoundly boring.
