->'''''My thoughts:''''' ''I am feeling my interest waning in all modern stories, and this is the primary reason. If the whole message of these stories is "You shouldn't care or get invested in any of these stories or characters, because they're all failures and their journies end in failure", then I have to ask myself...why should I care or get invested in these stories then? Why should I even bother with them at all?''

->''"When you completely shit on the characters that we've loved for so long; when you [[ReplacementScrappy replace them with worse characters]]; when you treat your few, new good characters like shit and misuse them even; when you [[DiabolusExMachina leave everything in a worse place than before]], and [[FanDisillusionment make us not even give a shit about the license anymore]], it is a bad fucking time, period! And a bad fucking game!"''

->"[[EightDeadlyWords Is EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER in the film a loathsome cad?!]] Did Governor [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Schwarzenegger]] just designate Visalia as [[CrapsackWorld a haven for assholes that were too assholian for greater Los Angeles]]? Is the town [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer built over a hellmouth]] that attracts people who are less appealing than Richard III? I don't want to sound callous, but I want to see this place become a CRATER!"

->''The sound may be different, but the problems are all the same. Music/{{Drake}} is moody and resentful of the women in his life. This is starting to sound like a you problem, Drake. Like, I thought this look into his relationship struggles was amazing ten years ago, but it's gotten so stale. It kind of feels to me like prestige-drama fatigue. Like when you're on the fifth season and it's like, "Oh, I get it. This guy's gonna keep having the same problems and complaining about them but never change or learn anything or grow as a person." What I'm saying is, this song makes me think I should start watching ''Series/TedLasso'' instead.''

->If you lose track of which side is ladling out the death, then you might miss out on the happy ending toward which these books are headed. I don’t want to spoil that for you, but as the series develops, we’ll see that the Bad Side just isn’t able to keep up. As powerful as the Antichrist may be, he is no match for an omnipotent God. Thus the Good Side ultimately winds up indiscriminately killing way more people than the Bad Side does. And that of course means that the Good Side wins — something we can all celebrate.

->''This moral logic can get a bit tricky to follow as the series goes on and the body count of the ]]TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Great Tribulation]] accelerates. It’s very important for us, the readers, to keep track of the particular source of each ensuing incident of massive, indiscriminate death. [[SarcasmMode Remember: massive, indiscriminate death is, in itself, morally neutral.]] The morality of such killing can only be determined by discerning who is doing the killing. [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality If it’s the Good Side killing all those people, then such killing is good and righteous and praiseworthy. But if it’s the Bad Side doing the killing, then it’s bad, unrighteous and “maddening.”]]
