Now all I can think of is Patrick Warburton doing this voice over in the films.
Perfect.
I would pay like $10 to hear Patrick Warburton say “Sacré Bleu” which isn’t a ton of money but how much would you pay anyone else to say anything else?
There is a whole website based on that premise.
Was A Series of Unfornate Events my first exposure to postmodern writing?
SoUE is better than HP. I said what I said and I’ll die on this hill.
Really not a high bar, tbh. Just don’t promote slavery along with maintaining the exact status quo that lead to wizard hitler, and you’re miles ahead.
I mean, the prose is certainly better. Rowling is unimaginative and repetitive in her use of language. The number of times she reuses phrases (like, “Ron’s untidy scrawl,”) is criminal. She’s a lot like Agatha Christie; great concepts, mundane execution.
HP has the better film franchise though. ASOUE just had the Carrey film, which was alright but did not follow the books and left a LOT of mystery from the books off
the show was really good…until season 3. my favorite character being reduced to a single laugh and a painting was the nail in the coffin, and the finale was just bad
I’d like that, learned something.
Having never read it, it reminds me vaguely of Douglas Adams
I would love this.
I’d read that!
