Total crap, that's why they only sold 600 million copies.
So they are divas then

I mean no one ever has to like anything, but not liking things (beyond terrible people like she is as a person) that people have never tried and lots of other people like is always kinda weird to me no matter what it is. People like different stuff, so it just never makes sense to me
Not saying you ever need to try it, most people die never trying a ton of stuff, but I love new things and want to judge things for myself, which is why I pretty much universally don't like reading critics until I've checked stuff out myself.
I kid a kid. I’m just picking fun at fine. I’m sure the Harry Potter movies and books are good.

It's cool, I'm really not wanting to defend them, haha. Just think a lot of things get hated on just because they're popular. And a lot of popular stuff is not good imo, but I still like to see what the fuss is about myself. Plus I low-key love everything Daniel Radcliffe has done since then. And the other two main actors seem like they turned out pretty great too despite being child actors in such a huge franchise. Rupert Grint (I think that's his name?) was really good in that M. Night show on Apple until he M. Nighted all over it.

When 90% of everything is crap (Sturgeon's Law), fine can be pretty good.
EDIT: I post this to clarify that I don't mean fine as an insult. I was a pretentious literary-minded high schooler when the first book came out, so I was never the intended audience. I like a lot of books, movies, TV, and music that are fine.

Good point. 90% of me is probably full of crap, so I think it holds up.

I don’t think we are supposed to; We have Star Wars the millennials just beyond me have Harry Potter.

If only Star Wars had some poetry thrown in before each battle, they'd be even!

Hold up, didn't Star Wars come out years before you were born?

I have those too. I just never read them as a kid. I wasn’t much of a reader as a child.

It does have the cool text floating through space, but if Tolkien wrote it we'd have a full Chewbacca dictionary.

In my case, Return of the Jedi came out when I was a newborn, but they were ALWAYS a presence in my life from my earliest memories. VHS tapes, all sorts of toys, bad Ewok movies I loved to death, etc...

But the movies were awesome and better than Star Wars or Harry Potter.
It was the Chronicles of Narnia for me when I was growing up

That original cartoon version of Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe was one of the best things I'd ever seen as a kid.
