Yes, yes, I know my tastes are mockworthy, I get it.
But dang it, it galls me to have my tastes in media mocked by people who like Game of Thrones (not on this site, on Tor.com and other forums and in real life).
Yes. Maybe I just spend my time talking with the wrong people.
I don't care if it was morally as simplistic as they come, I don't care if the vast majority of the books were copy-paste copies of one another, I still like them a whole lot better than most stuff.
You guys probably don't like morally simplistic children's stories where good and evil are determined by your species and cute little underdogs never ever lose.

I'd rather more adult fiction that explores people and the morals of world before one of them grabs a magic wand and beats up a wizard.
thing about Metroid is, from what I can tell, the main theme of the series is survival of the fittest. The X vs. the Chozo vs. the Metroids vs. the Space Pirates vs. one chick in power armor. Everybody always trying to destroy everybody else. It's very Darwinian. That's why the planet always explodes at the end.
Canonically the SA-X has human intelligence (despite the crappy AI), not sure about X parasites in general tho.
Metroids are apparently intelligent, so may qualify as evil, and the Space Pirates are definitely intelligent and able to operate weapons, pilot spacecraft, conduct experiments, etc.
Remember the "elves" vs "cannabalistic mass-produced hiveminded robotic undead cockroaches" thing? That's Redwall, essentially, except rooting for the elves.

i feel i should at least give game of thrones a go, as i consider myself a fan of fantasy, and it's evidently significant and well-liked within the genre.
Mind you, so are many other things i haven't read.
The books themselves are actually pretty sloggy, the show has people acting which makes it bearable, but honestly it's in the kind of setting that's unbelievable but wants to be believable because people are mean and they kill and stuff.

I hate this advertisement on Youtube for some stupid electronic reader that has what sounds like Stephen Fry saying, "Study smarter. Not harder".
No. Studying is something you do harder, working is something you do smarter. There are no shortcuts to studying except mnemonics. Your product will not make me smarter, and only has four colors of highlight. There's a reason why you need several colors of highlighter, so you can organize it by hierarchies of main ideas and dcetails, and by subject.
So, in the advertisement, there is this guy holding several highlighters, and his person who is in the same room so condescendingly says, "do you need a coloring book, hmmm". And I hate it so much.
Seriously, how condescending is that to people who study really hard because it doesn't work for them to study "smart".
NO, some of us can't afford your high-priced product, and it doesn't mean we are stupid, and some people need to study hard and need more than four colors of highlight (sometimes, one even needs to squiggle-highlight for a different type of highlight.
Stop being condescending to people who don't use your product.
Some people can study smarter, but for some minds, it works better to study harder.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
hey, sometimes I feel insecure about how a lot of the things I like seem to be popular targets for derision (e.g. Sonic again, the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons - The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Top Cat and Scooby are partially protected thanks to nostalgia and pop cultural standing, at least)

That's Harry potter
Metroids are apparently intelligent, so may qualify as evil, and the Space Pirates are definitely intelligent and able to operate weapons, pilot spacecraft, conduct experiments, etc.
"Elves" meaning the good guys who are perfect and can do no wrong, "cockroaches" referring to the hordes of evildoers.
The Dementors were inherently bad. But there were no 'elves' (not even the actual elves).
i have been neglecting my morning exercises lately >_>
but i never could do 30
When i brought it up before, everyone was like nah Tach, nobody disparages the stuff you like!
But i'm not sure how you can really contest the hate Harry Potter gets.
Or Frozen, or Doctor Who.
And i did enjoy Sonic, and Star Wars, which evidently receive sufficient ridicule that Aliroz saw fit to remark on it, so i'm not alone here.
i was a fan at the time.
i have the first book, but still have yet to read it.
it's fun

But this electronic product has the implication of,
"you don't have our product? YOU'RE DOING ACADEMIA WRONG!"
