There are a number of glaring parallels:

>both feature dense MCs, who are about to enter a world alien to them
>both depict a dangerous, yet exciting setting that pulls the viewer in
>both feature magic
>both have crazy, power hungry villains after the MC's life
>both feature highly desired artifacts that can grant wishes
>both have huge nutcase fandoms that churn out an infinite supply of fanfiction and analysis
>both feature main girls with long brown hair who are extremely talented and knowledgeable about magic

Harry Potter has

>cohesive plot direction

It's a quality series written by a quality author. Fate is a mess of garbage that's heading no where and has no internal consistency or depth.

Harry is hardly that dense, and even if he was he'd have a much better excuse than Shirou does.

I think Fate along with Evangelion and possibly Harry Potter and Final Fantasy VII influenced many later anime, vidya and light novels.
Not only due to OP's points but also

I mean the sheer poetry of Fate/stay night is almost incomprehensible to the layman.

Every scene, every frame, there's a second, sometimes even third narrative occurring underneath.
>>
>>134023015
It's much better written than people think. Idiots assume that Harry Potter is popular because of its whimsical setting and fantasy elements. The truth is, it manages seven separate mystery plots that all tie together with an overarching story. Very few humans could write something like that and make it work.

FF got plenty of foreign names like Midgard, Sephirot and Jenova, and a mega powerful corporation, Shinra.
While some character archetypes and story elements are present in previous vidya and anime it had such a place in pop culture that many people got introduced to many elements by it.
also another chuuni thing fate got is hand and body sigils.

The hack who wrote The English Patient is objectively a worse writer than JK Rowling. It takes a superior mind to write mystery.

If I asked you to design me a multilayered, thematically cohesive maze, could you do it? Could you? I doubt it. You have to be born with superior spacial reasoning abilities. Not just anybody has the mind for that.

I think that Tsukihime is a lot more closer to Harry Potter desu. Harry and Voldemort's relationship is a lot like Shiki and Capslock-kun's, especially if you remember the Harry's dream about Nagini and Shiki's constant dreams about killing people.

Pitting the "we're better than you because muh pure blood untainted by gooks" villains against people isn't what I'd call original or something impossible to write though. I can't recall Voldemort even having much of a plan besides becoming immortal and fucking over people who were half breeds. Was there an endgame besides "I am awesome and rule over everyone"?
>>
>>134022767

Fate is being milked as a character brand lately, it only has one real sequel and it happened only a year or two after the original VN. I honestly don't know why it's so relevant and apparently the greatest fucking thing ever these days considering it's just the same old story being retold that already had an adaptation. I really wish it would just kind of fuck off already and I say that kind of liking it initially but it's long over stayed it's welcome as have its fucked up fans.

it's funny, but she should've written the story about young dumbledore and his gay evil nazi boyfriend. She wrote six books of that boring plotline before she came up with something with real promise

The best part is he made sure there was an obvious pattern to where he hid pieces of his soul, there didn't seem to be any tracking magic so I'm sure if he just put one piece in a coin and tossed it into the ocean or some shit he would have been fine, but of course he's too prideful or whatever.

It feels like more since the fans literally never shut the fuck up about it or how they think you're supposed to see it. I don't think I could possibly convey one more time to these people how absolutely little I gave a fuck about how this or that scene translated from the VN or not or how I apparently had to put the kiddie gloves on with it and say only the most glowing positive things about it like the rest of the fucking sheep. Fucking most overhyped shit to come out of late and that's saying something considering some other VN shit with retarded zealot fans like Charlotte and Steins Gate. Fuck I gave Steins Gate 9/10 tier scores and I still can't fucking stand the people that still go on about it. Visual Novel fans are fucked is the impression I've started to get from some recent adaptations, they're like Light Novel fans except they truly seem to think that they're conveying life changing masterpieces to you and doing you a favor by telling you how to watch them and that if there's anything you don't like it'd just the animes fault and being shits about it.

>>134023824
You're not appreciating how hard mysteries are to write. I mean, like in Book Four, you have them see the culprit on the magic map, but the culprit has the same name as his father, so they think it's the father instead. Then you get to the end and you're like "No way!", but then you realize all the clues were there.

It's not surprising that Rowling is currently writing a detective series. She always had a talent for mysteries.

the magic you need to destroy them isn't that high, unlike lotr where it was only dragons or mt doom. also, harry potter had an underlying 'magic makes coincidental things happen,' so some half-assed mermaid would be bound to sit on it & break it somehow.

It wasn't out of nowhere, they looked at each other every now and then and she had a girly crush when she first met him.

Harry always had a thing for her, when she got a boyfriend he was jealous as shit.

I'm glad that rowling publicly wishing she hadn't gone with the ron/hermione route showed us that schoolgirl crushes on your idol are more fulfilling than a maturing relationship between two lifelong friends.

Stop defending the poorly written parts of harry potter. She's a really good at making characters, but all the stuff with ginny is where she dropped the ball.
>>
>>134024597
>Except Ginny helped harry every fucking time? When he was down she helped him
In the most smug and bitchy way possible. She berated him for being down and was like "STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF".

>she helped Ron
By making fun of him for being a virgin?

>and Hermione too
She yelled at Hermione too.

>How was she not likable
Because she slept around and always tried to act cool. Then the romance comes out of no where and we're supposed to pretend they have this special bond when they don't?

Ha ha, you're so pathetic trying to make it sound normal.

The idea of meeting your wife/husband as a child is a fantasy no matter what. It's not any less of a fantasy by having Harry date Cho Chang for a year or by having Hermione neck a sports star for five minutes. It's still a childish fantasy. The only difference is that it's a modified fantasy for divorced people so they won't feel bad about their divorce.

>normal romance fantasy
children meet their soulmate at a young age, start dating them, then get married for life

children meet their soulmate at a young age, have one relationship other than them, then get together with their soulmate and marry for life

Harry was awkward because an 11 year old wanted to fuck him. Before you make a scene at uni, you should realize that people are mostly only awkward towards those they aren't interested in.
The ones that are awkward if they like you basically stand there staring at your face with their mouth open, and it's really rare and just might have to do with a cultural imprinting of too many bollywood movies
>>
>>134024937
Do you seriously believe that having every character date other people even when it doesn't make sense wasn't purposely put their for a reason?

Hermione has a fling with a popular athlete.

Ron has Hermione in his hands, then decides to go date a slut for no reason.

Ginny wants Harry secretly but was literally told to go date other people, so she goes through men like coats.

Harry is the only one who was slightly believable in dating Cho.

And why does she have to write normal cliche fantasy?

She doesn't have to do anything, but it's obvious that she intentionally had each of the characters have at least one relationship before ending up with their future husband/wife.

Yes, I do, because I'm not an autist who reads deep political intentions into every aspect of a kids' book. It's fucking drama. It exists so that something happens and the books last longer. It's not a fucking defense of second marriages or whatever you think it is.
>>
>>134025008
Hermione never had an INTEREST in Krum, she did it to make Ron jealous. Have you ever read or watched Harry Potter at all?

Ron has an inferiority complex and he always fights with hermione, he's a fucking tsundere. He treated her badly and mocked her about not having a date because he wanted to invite her but was too shy and inexperienced to do it.

Ginny just tried to move on from and dated other people, like normal people do. You don't stop living your life because your childhood crush is busier fighting an ancient Nazi magician.

Harry had a hard on for Cho so he just went for it. She was hot and he a 15 y/o boy.

In case you weren't paying attention, there's a very good reason she's the only character close to his age to stop him mid-outburst. Ron and Hermione meant well, but their approach to calming him down was always to prod him with a stick and then cower, and in seven years it NEVER FUCKING WORKED and he just stormed off in a huff.

Ginny went for the jugular because that's what was required to get him to simmer the fuck down, AND because she was fairly irritated that he'd never consider asking her for help.

>By making fun of him for being a virgin?

Again, were you paying attention? She had lost her shit, that wasn't deliberate. Ron implied she was a slut in front of Harry, and her first response was a "Well, Harry dated too!" because that's what she was concerned with. She was raging at Ron because she had lost her temper in the exact same way he always did: saying shit they'd immediately regret.

>She yelled at Hermione too.

And it was damn well fucking deserved. That whole scene and buildup being changed from the movie was terrible for Hermione's character since it stripped her of her petty honest flaws. Ron was already hissing at her to shut it when Ginny snapped.

Did a nerve get hit? Feeling guilty about sleeping around?

Rowling is the romantic. She's said multiple times that she wanted Harry and Ginny from the beginning and loved the whole "saving the damsel" thing. But then she realized that a childhood romance like that clashes with her own life, where she got divorced, so she had to alter it so all the characters date the wrong person before ending up with their Forever Girl/Guy.

That is not realistic.

So of the two unrealistic fantasies, why did JK Rowling go with the latter rather than the former?

He could have put them in places around the world, and not hidden them in where he has all of his favorite things.

We can write all the laws we want, but the requirement is that he HIDE THEM IN GOOD PLACES, and he choose not to do that. Did he think that nobody would ever figure out what he was up to or start looking for his shit?

It's still not realistic to start dating someone at age 16 and stay with them for life.

It happens, but it's extremely rare.
>>
>>134025400
Because once they actually started dating, Harry realized he really didn't have much fun hanging out with her. Also, she was still hung up on Cedric and constantly weepy, and he was in absolutely no position to be anybody's emotional support at that time since he spent the whole year a hair's breadth from losing his shit.

Then there was the thing with her friend ratting them out, again how she was constantly crying, and eventually he just stopped giving a fuck after a fight. When he heard she was dating someone else, he was mildly surprised at the fact that he did not give a damn.
>>
>>134025483
That was only the movie guy.

In the book he pissed her off because she thought he had a thing with Hermoine during Valentine's Day and he had a full on Shirou moment where he processed her assumption in his head and laughed out loud at her without thinking and she ran away crying.

That and her friend was the snitch, which she defended when Harry was about to full on rip her to shreads.

Then let your gang of mind-controlled cult members take care of that!

I know he's pretty prideful, but isn't he supposed to be pretty paranoid too? He made it pretty easy to find out where he was putting this shit, just by having an idea of what who he was, shit he kept one as a bloody pet.

I mean, what took him years to do, a small gang of teens went about and collected his soul-hiding places in a matter of days, weeks? At least make them places were only the most hardcore wizards can get to, or where only your most dedicated cult members would try to tread to.

I know we have to make it so that protagonists actually can stop him, but it doesn't make him look or smart if he's hiding in his soul and keeping them in obvious hiding places.

It'd be like hiding your terrorist plots in your porn folder. Do you think they're not going to look in there?

Archer wanting to kill his own self.
>>
>>134025725
>I know he's pretty prideful, but isn't he supposed to be pretty paranoid too?

And that is EXACTLY why he didn't do that. He told absolutely nobody that he had made Horcruxes. The closest he ever got to that was threatening Bellatrix to the point that she lost her shit at the mere thought of someone approaching her vault, but even she didn't know what Voldemort had hidden in it.

Voldemort trusted absolutely nobody. This was why he made Nagini: the only other being he'd trust to act as his right hand as scout was himself.

He then went and systematically killed most links to his past life, not realizing Dumbledore had beaten him to the punch and already extracted important information from them. Harry knows what he knows because Dumbledore gave him that information to him alone, and the rest because he understood his personality and knew how to get inside his head, both literally and figuratively.

As for the locations: again, if you're wondering why he went the theatrical route, you're kind of missing the entire point of the character. He's not Dark Lord Sauron, he's Tom the Dickhead Orphan, a megalomaniac psychopathic asshole who created a larger-than-life persona when he was a teenager and spent the rest of his life making himself enough of a threat that he could make others play along. That's why Dumbledore and Harry get stubborn about his name: they both realize that it's all a big fucking show for his ego, and that nothing terrifies him more than being reminded that he's actually just a guy underneath, not a supernatural monster.

That is supposed to be bad?

Anyway, Harry Potter isn't fate.

For one, it focuses too much on prophesies.

And it keeps teasing the audience about mysteries that the audience already knows the secret to.

Tries to make every character relevant. Fate at least knows when to keep characters irrelevant, which is good.

Harry Potter's biggest mistake is not really expanding on the magic. Harry is show to do a few spells and abuses the shit out of them even know they're not useful. He'd be better off doing avada kedavra but he probably didn't because he didn't want to stoop as low as Voldemort. At least, Shirou does everything he can and uses whatever tool when shit goes down.

Also, the themes that Fate explores are more interesting.
>>
>>134026416
I'm pretty fucking pissed they cut out him torturing that dude for shits and giggles out of the DH movie. Book Harry is "Overall good guy, but anger dial does go all the way to murder" and the sixth book established part of his main motivations was just wanting to see Voldemort dead.

The movies just scrubbed his character squeaky clean and then they just took his virtues and gave them to Hermione.

This is one of the most amusing bits of pop culture osmosis I've ever seen. The book does a thing, the movie fucks it up, and the current popular perception is that the book does the literal exact fucking opposite of what it actually did.

There's a whole damn scene where Dumbledore more or less beats into Harry that the prophecy mattered precisely jack fucking shit, and yet the popular understanding is that the thing was somehow important.

Granted, the movies REALLY fucked that shit up the cooch, but the result is that you have people who consider "The Chosen One" to have been a real plotpoint, when the books play that entire thing as a surbversion of the cliché and the actual utterance is dramatic-sounding nonsense manufactured in-universe by tabloid writers.

Stay Night and Zero were about what it means to be a hero. Harry Potter's world is highly immersive and heavily fleshed out, and its characters are likable, but I'd be interested to hear a perspective on why it was particularly deep. Early books were meant to be easily digestible for a young audience and its use of a standard, one dimensional, fantasy dark lord didn't really do it any favors in that department. Beyond Snape, at the very end, its goodies were good and its baddies were bad with little ponderance or ambiguity; one wonder why they didn't just axe Slytherin.
>>
>>134026952
The movies did explain a lot of things, people just don't understand a lot because they didn't pay attention and now like to spout memes and hate it because it's popular. Just like they did back then.

Granted they were pretty meh all of them but still, in the 4th movie you have like 10 minutes of Voldemort saying to Harry that he never survived because he was some sort of chosen one and that's just a lie. He survived because of his mother, not because he's special.

Not in the way Sauron used to fuck with people with before he got Dark and Firey and then became a Giant Eyeball.

Voldemort always struck me as a bitter sociopath with daddy issues while Sauron/Mairon/Annatar was a force of absolute order and industry, to the point he was a tyrant, like the dark side of capitalism and technology in middle earth. It's kind of interest to contrast him with his Master who is more chaotic evil.

Neither. One of the twin Death Eaters that get put in charge of Hogwarts. His twin sister gets knocked out, Harry hides, and the brother shows up with McGonagall and panicks because his sister had called Voldemort as if they had captured Harry. Thinking it was a fuckup, he decides he's going to tell Voldemort that she got mobbed by the students who activated the mark themselves. McGonagall flips out and tells him he won't allow him to throw a bunch of kids under the bus to save his skin, and the dude just tells her to go get fucked and spits on her face.

By that point, Harry was so past pissed off with the hellhole he'd heard Hogwarts had been turned into that he just walks out of cover and casts Crucio on him.

Big deal? It's attribute would be "effective against snakes."

You're retarded if you think that shitty sword can be anymore than C, specially when has zero fame points. Have you forgotten Excalibur, the sword made by Gaia as planet-threat killer and easily destroys armies, castle, mountains, etc is A++? Also most famous sword ever.

Griffindor's sword is a cheap knock off of Caliburn and Excalibur without beam powers, in how the concept is made by Rowling, it was mean to be a reference.

He's basically meant to be nega-Harry. Similar fucked-up childhood, completely different choices and results.

The point of the "three lost children" symbolism was that the three pretty much started in comparable situations and had similar possibilities, but Harry was the only one who didn't go the fucked-up route. Personal choice and responsibility is a big theme in the books, the idea being that life deals you shitty cards sometimes, but what you do with them is up to you.

Anti-Divine weapons aren't weird in Fate, anon. It's fairly common.

It was some ancient relic tiara in the segred room Harry used for Dumbledore's Army which apparently Voldemort assumed nobody would be able to find.

Because they eat souls? All Servants can eat souls with ease: because they are spirits. It's their nourishment. Most are too moralfag to do it.

The killing curse is slower than a bullet and I'm pretty sure you have to be up close and concentrated to use the other two curses. The ring sucks and the cloak has limited usefulness, leaving the wand as the most useful but it can also be broken.

How do you counter Dementors again?

Fucking mongrel. That cheap faker Excalibur isn't effective against snakes, it's power is it absorbs foreign elements like the Basilisk venom making it effective against Horcruxes.

Any sword could have beheaded the basilisk. It's just only important because it has end game potential against Voldemort.

The Cloak is basically the Cape of Hades from Prisma which is actually pretty good.
I have no idea the hell the ring would even do in most cases except to A. bring back a dead mentor to ask a question or B. drive yourself to suicide. The superwand is like a flat x2 on whatever you cast which granted can be pretty powerful.
Dementors are like a wildcard and just sort of there as a super dangerous monster, I don't think you can actually subjugate them and I'm not sure they're even fully sentient.
>>134027882
You hit them with a patronus.
>>134027949
Dementors are more or less dread wraiths who don't get fucked by the sun and make shit foggy, presumably you could hit them with holy magic since Patronus is concentrated willpower or some other BS.

I don't think they can even affect Servants. Most are either monsters or fought shit scarier and more powerful than they can be.

I mean Arturia herself defeated all magic and darkness of Britain and toppled the age of gods and mystery.

You're forgetting Servants aren't exactly normal people, and most have attributes to kill the fuck of them. Seiba could just excaliblast the shit of them, I don't even think she needs to, she just needs to show her shiny sword of hopes and ideals and all things warmth and all of them would be fucked.

I imagine them fucked against Sakura too, considering what she can do.

Anti-divine weapons aren't weird in the Nasuverse.

Anti-divine weapons are indeed weird in Fate, something like Kansho and Bakuya(originals) belong to the realm of gods.

Only few faggots have something divine/anti divine and the ones that have it are nerfed or they're divine themselves.
>>
>>134028125
That's Nasuverse, although I guess he did specifically say Fateverse.
>>134028123

>Remind me, is there a way to actually kill Dementors?

Not into powerlevels, but they are wraiths. Servants are basically op ghosts that materialize and do feed on wraiths and other shit. They affect the spiritual creatures.

I think they would end up as meals to Rider, Gilgamesh or Caster.
>>
In case a straightforward metaphor in a goddamn YA book is once again proving too fucking complex, Dementors are indestructible because they're despair incarnate. You can't brute-force despair away, you can only counter it by focusing on the good in your life. Hence why the Patronus pushes them away.

Yeah, but since Patronus is basically a light magic familar and it doesn't do anything except make them run away I'm not sure they have normal wraith weaknesses.

>>
>>134028377
Nah, it stuck mostly with the original myth where Gil got over his mortality and instead worked to be a, somewhat, decent ruler.

The guy was stuck in All the Evils etc. Dementors are small time.

There's lots of debatable shit on that chart especially since we don't know how conflicting systems carry (like, for example, how Crowley's ability to fuck with memes and Jungian Archetypes would compare with other worlds) but it remains a fact that Fate is nowhere near the top.
>>
>>134028523
It's the only thing Fate has that can make them compete with other metaverses.
>>
>>134027445
The sword only absorbs that which strengthens it. It is, thusly, virtually unbreakable. Any good properties that come in contact with the blade are imprinted on it as its characteristics. Any bad property doesn't do jack diddly squat.

It's an infinite progression sword.
>>
>>134028500
So can Black Sakura beat them?
>>
>>134028539
I imagine Sakura would be classified as some sort of Super Dementor due to having Angra's bigger and better version of despair, sadness, anger, etc., so maybe?
>>
>>134028194
>Is magic a vector?
If it has a direction and a magnitude, then yes, yes it is.
>>
>>134028536
But that's just it, they can't compete, Fateverse is low-tier as fuck powerlevel-wise.

It's more like things like MEoDP and NPs are chuuni as fuck so it's fun to talk about.
>>
>>134028500
Yeah they're different though is the idea. Angra Manyu corrupts you with other people's sincs and dementors if I remember just feed you images of despair. All I was saying is Gil has certainly been affected by despair before, so even if he can shrug off everyone else in the world being a dick I figured it might be a different story to have to confront bad times he's had again.
>>
>>134028539
You can't "beat" them, you can probably shoo em away for a while unless there's a bunch of them and they all suck your soul while fucking with your mind.
>>
>>134028566
Does it have a magnitude though? It's not light since the beam doesn't move at light speed, it may as well be a tracer that instantly applies effect on impact.
>>134028572
Angra feeds you the evil of the entire world, including ones you've committed, the ones you're going to commit, etc. as well as shit you never even knew about.
Gil's defense is saying 'I am so glorious I cannot be assed to feel despair', and again he's gotten over both Enkidu and his mortality.
>>
>>134028583
Black Sakura might be able to consume them though, shallow despair would be easily subsumed by a far greater despair.
>>
>>134028614
Feeding you evils has nothing to do with what dementors do though.

Why are you comparing it?

Fate/Zero had a much more impactful message about heroes for me personally. Fate/Stay Night was a good story about 'a man that chooses to save others before himself' story, but in the end it was pretty clear that Shirou didn't change that much at all. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu had so much character development and depth that, when he finally realized that his dream was folly, his despair absolutely carried to the audience.

The thing is, I think you might be confusing change for development.

Just because Shirou didn't fundamentally alter his goals doesn't mean he didn't develop. His whole arc, in UBW at least, was about seeing all the potential perils of his dream, and even looking into the literal face of his future. He's told he'll suffer, he'll, and in the end, he may not achieve what he truly wants, but Shirou, weighing all that, chooses to persevere, because he knows what he's aiming for isn't a mistake.

Keep in mind, that's just UBW.

Character development could honestly be as simple as the character learning something new, although you usually don't note that down as development unless what they learned matters.

Even if you want to go that route, Shirou still does change in UBW.

One of the things about Shirou and his ideal is, that while he believes in it in the beginning of the story, depending on the route and the situations that go on, it either starts to waver, or harden.

You can even see this in UBW even, he's presented with a situation where he has to choose between Taiga and the town, and with Shirou's character still in flux, he chooses Taiga.

The thing is though, Shirou's resolve hardens after that. He's put to the test after losing Saber, and having to deal with Caster, Archer, and finally Gil. By the end, his belief in his ideal is absolute.

No, it's the complete opposite. Sales and quality are among the most correlated properties in existence. Sales aren't 100% proof of quality, but they are strong evidence of such.

Screaming "TWILIGHT" is something a remedial faggot does when he can't argue why something sucks. It's a mindless, empty, illogical shitpost that should result in a three day ban at least.

What makes it worse is that Twilight IS a quality work of fiction if you understand what it is. It's wish fulfillment for preteen and teenage girls. It's probably the most shlicked to book of the 21st Century. If anyone could write wish fulfillment that good, everyone would be getting rich. But they aren't.

That isn't the case. You are not a special snowflake just because you think your opinions are unique. Chances are your opinions are shit because you're not well versed enough in literature and philosophy to even BEGIN to understand what's good or not. That's why while popularity and quality are correlated, one does not CAUSE the other.

The relation is that if a work is quality, it will be popular. The conditonal doesn't work the other way around. You're basically suffering from this fallacy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent
>>
>>134031950
You dropped out of high school and got your GED, and you don't know what quality is.

Quality means "whatever is being done is being done well".

You may not personally enjoy, say, sex toys, but there's a huge difference between a bad sex toy and a quality sex toy.

See, you're thinking like a child does, believing that there's such a thing as "universal quality", when there isn't. Citizen Kane isn't a masterpiece for humanity; it's a masterpiece to some people. To many other people, it reveals absolutely nothing about the human condition to them.

>>
>>134031853
Not really. As you said, with the final book Dumbledore was completely in keikakku mode shaping Harry to be a weapon against Voldemort. He and Snape knew (almost) everything to take out Voldemort and just sat back and let everything happen almost for "teh lulz".

And even when he was away from Hogwarts, his life with his aunt and uncle was a hell he could not escape from ironically enough because of his mother's heroic sacrifice kept him safe amongst his broken family.


At least Shirou despite being broken and void of self-worth shaped his own destiny, even when in two outcomes (Emiya route and Extra) where he was betrayed by his friends and executed, he lived and died by his own will where as Harry lived AND died (although cheats death) as a pawn.

Most of humanity inherently has shit taste because taste in itself is something that is developed through exposure and study of something in particular. When something is presented that can be enjoyed by a wide range of audiences regardless of their tastes, it's only natural for it to be popular. That does not however, mean that the "something" in question is technically good, just accessable.
>>
>>134032037
Oh great, now we've entered the area of 'everyone is a winner!'
>>
>>134032030
Quality and popularity are correlated, and that's an objective, unarguable fact. Quality is often the cause of popularity, though not 100% of the time. Again, that's another objective, unarguable fact.

You want to live in a world where the concepts have nothing to do with each other, because you're teenage mind can't process the idea that things you personally don't like are popular.

The original argument is that you have a small penis for trying to name drop Twilight as a way to win arguments you're losing. Not only is it a flawed argument to begin with, but Twilight is actually a high quality product. It's not trying to be a revealing drama about the human soul; it's trying to be pandering wish fulfillment, and it does that masterfully.

Arguing that that's a meaningless rubric is like blaming a rifle for being bad at measuring corn or being angry at a car for not allowing you to cross oceans.

Just because YOU don't value jewelry doesn't mean that there aren't people who do. Like it or not, there are different values when it comes to gems, corresponding to rarity and craftsmanship.
>>
>>134031890
Pick up the Japanese translations of the Harry Potter series and compare them with the Fate series. The writing is more complex in the HP novels. Nasu isn't a great writer by any stretch of the imagination. The reason it is so widely popular is because it is written for a certain audience in the same was that the Twilight books are written for a specific audience.

Harry Potter is written for a general audience and doesn't make a whole lot of sense to compare the two.

Twilight is verbal vomit wish fulfillment written by a Mormon ham planet obsessed with Muse with shallow characters and no real plot or struggle compared to even the next shit book Hunger Games.

And I don't need my imaginary English degree to tell you that you absolute uncultured baboon.

You all fell for my bait, how do you feel now?

>An ad hominem is when you attack the person instead of dealing with their argument, not merely attacking the person, like you first asserted.
Reread the original post, because
>you yourself can't properly articulate your opinion without resorting to "what I say a fucking fact, so deal with it, you disgusting retard".
Pretty strongly implies that you're attacking a person to avoid dealing with their argument.

Wait dragon can destroy the ring ? So if the dragon killed Bilbo during his journey none of the event in more would have happen ?

>compared to even the next shit book Hunger Games

Twilight is a lot more interesting then Hunger Games. Bella is delusional and constantly makes fucked up decisions, while Hunger Games has a more or less acceptable protag who is excused from whatever she decides to do.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you possibly need a new thread?

Why not just let this shitfest die? Are you so autistic you need this?

Just the last two? The quality started rapidly declining after she signed the contract. Which was after the third book. Everything after the Prisoner of Askaban is total garbage.

BB is universal, FTL and has a shitton of hax. She should be near the upper tiers. Also multiple characters can fight on par with her including Arc.
