—Goodreads review of “The Lord of the Rings”

Im returning my switch bc of this garbage ****. It looks and feels like a hobbyist made it and someone slapped a zelda logo on top. Replace the logo and the chars with no names and you get what this game actually is. A wasteland made of basically nothing

—Metacritic review of “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”

Nothing really happened. No consequences. Aang is truly a gary stu.

—Rotten Tomatoes review of “Avatar: The Last Airbender: Season 3”

There is nothing you can make, there is no person that you can be, that cannot be reduced to caricature. You will never produce anything beyond satire. There will always be people willing to casually dismiss everything you are with a snide comment in a Tweet.

You are not incompressible, nor is anything you believe, nor is anything or anyone that you love. It’s better to accept that early.
