I remember in 1st grade there was a free book fair and I picked 20,000 leagues under the sea. It was too advanced for me to read but I watched the Disney movie and found it fascinating.
Then I finally picked up a copy last year and starting reading it. Holy cow what a slog. I made it halfway through and haven’t been able to pick it up since Christmas.
It was just pages of lists of scientific names for sea creatures and flora and fauna and a slow process of the plot.
Probably a fascinating book for it’s time but not worth reading today.
21 seems insanely young to me. 30 is more reasonable and usually the mark for when people really begin to look “adult”.
Granted, humanity used to have kids in their mid teens, if not the onset of puberty, so that would make 21 seem old.
In a way she was right. Disney axed the entirety of the extended universe when they took ownership so they could write their own stories. We should’ve realized then it was going to be a train wreck.
But complaining about zero source material when you destroyed all the source material is some high level bullshittery.
Some serious Oprah begging for donations vibes here.
