>the prophecy says the hero will beat the bad guy and make

The Harry Potter fandom is made up of people who like everything to be safe to be left unchallenged.

check out maps to the stars by david cronenberg

honestly just fuck prophecies in general. they always come true in some fashion so there's never any tension, and when some no name schmuck has this great adventure thrust on him because some prophecy told him so, it feels forced. like the character doesn't need drive to do the right thing, they'll do it anyway because the prophecy says so. fuck that noise.

Reminder Harry Potter was nothing more than a marketing experiment by Bloomsbury. They read the books, knew they were shit after every other publisher turned them down and decided to see if they could make a shit load of money off of them for how bad they are and they were right.

Studies have shown that people enjoy things more when people know how they end.

I think one of the reasons for that was that they could focus more on what was happening right now, since they didn't spend as much time thinking about how things will turn out.

It called coincidence you moron, prophecies TURN OUT to be true.

>Lol some fag many centuries from now will surely kill Rakum the Dark One Im sure any day now

but it's never "yeah someone's bound to slay the dragon king eventually" it's always "oh yeah this specific guy right here is going to slay the dragon king, look at how marketable he is, how could he not slay him."

>caring about plot
>implying it isn't about the journey
>implying lord of the rings isn't the sane and we don't know the ring will be destroyed
What did the autists mean by this?

There's no prophecy in LOTR though, at least not one that says the heroes will win. It's just a pointless plot element, that's all.

>Reading books with "good guys" and "bad guys"

Just read comics you fucking children
