I abandon most books I start, and it made me read more rather than less. The case for the fifty-page rule, the three exceptions worth making, and the one argument against it I have never been able to answer.
One series kills anyone at any time. The other has a protagonist who never loses. These are not opposite levels of quality, they are opposite engines, and both are correct for the story running them.
All eight Harry Potter films ranked, with an argument: Cuaron directed one entry, permanently changed what Hogwarts looks like, and the series spent seven films chasing him.
Inception, Interstellar and Tenet are all built around manipulating time. Only two of them actually need the concept. A ranked breakdown of which Nolan film earns its gimmick and which one is just wearing it.
Both are enormous. Only one of them uses its length for anything. What the Going Merry scene proves about long-form storytelling, and where the Fourth Great Ninja War threw away everything Part 1 built.
