I ask this because the other day my oldest brother who is a total normie (plus in his teen years he was busy with one lady after the next while in my teen years I was researching UFO cases, reading sci-fi and buying classic rock and RnB records) was telling me about The Boys and was shocked that I wasn't watching it. I told him that I have some of the comic book and they are fine but that at this point I am just so sick of deconstruction or subversion.
I have the the Watchmen comic by Alan Moore and his life views aside it is a great comic. The only problem is that it spawned to this day so many "what if super heroes were bad" or "dark and gritty side of super heroes" stories. My two worst cases of these modern trends are the Last Jedi because I think Rian Johnson is a typical hollywood douchebag who thinks you aren't smart if you don't appreciate his movies and I question his motivations because I don't think he would give a beloved female character the "Luke treatment". Another example would be Ayra killing the Night King in Game of Thrones because while I enjoy her character in the books I can't help but think that their motivation was girl power and to say "well everyone expected Jon to fight the Night King" is a terrible reason to not do it.
Some good examples off the top of my head are Yoda in Empire Strikes back because it was an interesting surprise to see a little green guy after hearing about a great warrior/Jedi master, but there was a lesson there. Also, in the first Ice and Fire book or Game of Thrones season 1 I didn't see Ned Stark being executed because I thought he would be the main character throughout. Granted there is a pretty sad lesson there about the consequences of doing the right thing and being honest.
What are your examples?
Extremely debatable. Neither humans or elves are native to the world the Witcher takes place in, and before humans showed up and kicked the shit out of the elves, the elves were kicking the shit out of the dwarves, who probably were the natives of the world, for about 2000 years.
Most shit that happens to the elves really is their own fault, and by that I do mean historically as a race, like when Aelirenn decided to go poke the bear despite being told how monumentally retarded it was; resulting in the countless deaths of so many younger elves it created the same kind of generational gap the USSR experienced after ww2, except in this case it was far more significant a danger to reproduction.
Holding those grievances over modern individuals is a problem but as you point out the Scoia'tael just keep making things worse, for themselves and other elves, and this is before even considering what the other group of elves do; murdering, pillaging, kidnapping, and enslaving countless sentients and working them literally to death, often in another dimension where time will pass differently, because said sentients are little else than fuel to the Aen Elle.
