Doctor Who. Cause' fezzes are cool.

They are aren't they?

Until I watched Doctor Who, I never knew the true epicness of fezzes.

The only two fandoms I'm in are Doctor Who (I simply watch it; I don't join Whovian communities), and the other one should be obvious if you know me.

You think the plot is unimaginative?
Maybe you don't get the whole in medias res thing? Or some other component of the story?

What does in medias res have anything to do with whether or not it was imaginative? Okay, well, it's not entirely the plot... Whatever. Here:

By the time of the release of the fifth volume, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the books began to receive strong criticism from a number of literary scholars. Yale professor, literary scholar and critic Harold Bloom raised criticisms of the books' literary merits, saying, "Rowling's mind is so governed by clichés and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing."[101] A. S. Byatt authored a New York Times op-ed article calling Rowling's universe a "secondary secondary world, made up of intelligently patchworked derivative motifs from all sorts of children's literature ... written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip".[102]

Yeah. Not much more to say.

just because other people say so doesn't mean it's fact, its opinion through and through

Well, sure, it's opinion. It just also happened to be a quote that matched my opinion. And we are talking about my opinion here.
Edit: And saying that my argument is opinion does not make yours fact. Basic logic.

Lol but harry potter overrated? Harry potter will never be overrated! I bet you it will be replaced by many other fandoms to come but it will still be remembered (I hope that made sense)

Two words for you: The plot. It's a fatal flaw in the Harry Potter series. Sure, the series was great when I was younger, but even then I could tell that the plot was weird. Now, it just strikes me as completely unimaginative.

wait what
sure jk rowling got inspired by a heck of a lot of places but i bet you haven't read ten of those books
a lot of them are as obscure as obscure can be, but others are just as embedded into popular culture as harry potter
and it's widely regarded that there's no original ideas left and the most original books have to include good characters, be a mashup of as many books as possible without seeming tacky and know what it is
and the amount of planning she put into her book is incredible
have a read through again and take note of everything you see

There are only sixteen on there. Of course I haven't read ten of them. Doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

i never said mine was fact? sorry if i misunderstood you, but it just seemed like you we're putting your opinion out there as if it was the only one.

i was wrong. sorry.

Apology accepted.

so how many have you read

I watch MLP:FiM and listen to a bunch of bands (Megadeth, Mr. Big, others), though I don't really like considering myself a "fan" of anything.

But man, the brony community makes some amazing stuff    Comics, art, fanfiction... I like to follow the community rather than try being a part of it.
