There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

One of the reasons I am not a fan of modern TV shows is that writers are now using that slow-creeping evil that desperately tries to justify itself. I just can't stand it. I have no sympathy for such villainy and it does not fascinate me in the least. I want stories where, as is said above, evil gets kicked in the junk, and we're done with it.

Yeah, I know real-life evil isn't like that at all. But I like my escapism. I like to root against Cobra Commander and those poor schmucks who try to outsmart Joe Friday. I know they will fail but will entertain me anyway. That's all I want, man. To be entertain while I cower in my cave.
