It's so weird, I literally just last week said to someone, "you know, you don't really get that kind of huge public Fandom Drama like you did with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings anymore, do you?"

Except apparently you do. And it's kind of like going back and watching Thundercats as an adult. In theory it's still awesome, but in practice it's just kind of dumb and annoying in a lot of places and hilariously overwrought in others.
