Anyways, I noticed all you wrote about today’s media being more geared towards themes like hopelessness and such, and I gotta say, I have sadly noticed the same thing. My family recently watched all the Mazerunner movies for the first time, and halfway through the series, I had to walk away. It wasn’t all the violence and bloodshed that bothered me, although that was way too excessive. It was all the themes of dystopia and a world ravaged by evil with no hope of salvation. In addition, I also noticed that the creators of the movies blended the basic themes of good and evil until they were beyond recognition, even for me, almost. I had to go back to the simplest, most black-and-white of God’s commandments that I memorized as a younger child, to make sure my morals were in the right place! I used to want to read and watch books and movies like Harry Potter and the Hunger Games trilogy, but now I’m so glad I hesitated. I will most certainly not expose myself to such content now that I have been forewarned by my experiences with other similar stories.

@cassie-hartfinh that’s amazing! I’m glad you decided to walk away–as for me, I’ve never wanted to pick up Harry Potter or the Hunger Games in my entire life. Witchcraft is not something to toy with, I’m afraid. 😉

And good luck on your Fantasy series! What’s it about?
