    Honestly I kind of liked the eragon books though if asked I couldn’t say why.

    The attempted movie adaptation was horrible though

      same. It was long enough ago that I have no real recollection of why but I thought they were good. I even saw the movies. I guess kids aren’t very picky

          Guess you’re right. I remember seeing one in theater, which I thought was the second one, but looking it up now that was 2006 (god how was that 18 years ago lmao) and they never made the second one. 100 million budget, made 250 million at the box office, I guess that’s considered a flop. (Edit: yeah I guess it was a flop in the US box office, the majority of that was worldwide)

      Eragon is likeable despite not being very good. Probably its greatest strength is just how sincere and inoffensive it is. You can really feel that the author was just a kid writing some fantasy stories. I think there’s value in that.
