What are some popular criticisms you see about any show/movie/videogame that you strongly disagree or you just don’t think it’s really a bad thing? (self.asklemmy)

Example; the Legend of Zelda: BotW and TotK weapon degradation system. At first I was annoyed at it, but once I stopped caring about my “favorite weapon” I really started to enjoy the system. I think it lends really well to the sandbox nature of the game and it itches that resourcefulness nature inside me.

I've read the Hobbit and the fellowship a few years ago. I absolutely adored the Hobbit, genuinely think that is an awesomely written book. Fellowship however, is not a fun read, despite the content in the book actually being good. But the act of reading it is not.

I enjoyed it a lot. The only parts that annoyed the hell out of me was the constant singing and the overly long ring council. The rest I have only fond memories of. Granted it was a long time ago.

I remember as a kid I was really into fantasy things and my dad told me about LOTR and thought I'd like it. I'd read the hobbit for school already and really enjoyed that... But LOTR was painful, I didn't even complete the first book

I would probably say that FOTR is my least favourite of the LOTR trilogy, TTT and ROTK are both more enjoyable IMO.

That said, I saw the movies before I read the books, so that might be a factor, I'm not sure.

Personally, my favorite book of his is the Silmarillion, he's in his element and is writing a text book about cool fantasy stuff he dreamt up.

The Hobbit is far better than LotR. It's no contest.
