Good point. I know what you mean, when it comes to people being fans for different reasons and therefore picking up different things.

I only liked Gen at the very end of The Thief. And when I heard the summary of QoA, I was fascinated. Mr. Daroga said he didn't like it, but I was all, "no way, man. Anything with that plot must rule." And yet, it didn't work on me. It's not the plot--it's MWT's carrying out of it that didn't capture me.

Ah well!
