Because he was so busy to write political statements so much, and because of this, plot and story died, in my opinion. Because, why do you need Norse Mythology and well-rounded characters? When all you actually need is unnecessary political statements? Like, for example, all we need is like that police scene in the book. Anyways, we talked about these, but the police scene just came to my mind when i was thinking and...come and tell me now that wasn't funny or unnecessary.

That police scene almost was out of my brain when compared to Alex punching the audience in the face repeatedly about her preferred pronouns, but ohhhhhhhhhhhh boy that police scene in Alfheim....

As someone who is an African-American, I found it hilarious because Magnus was being a preaching moron and bringing up Blitz’s skin tone just made me roll my eyes while I went “SKIP!” and moved forward. Magnus in HoT is an extremely preachy little crap that never shuts up, and spends his time on showing off how “woke” he is to current events.

Rick should go back to writing a REAL story, not this preaching schlock seeking approval and praise that makes the show Captain Planet and the Planeteers look completely subtle about its environmental message.
