No hate, what-so-ever, just a SMALL gripe
this isn't a personal attack, or a harassment campaign, just a small thing I notice that really grinds my gears, is there are some stories that just boil down to "Humanity has a super-advanced piece of technology that they somehow made in secret long ago" and it really just GRINDS MY GEARS, like I get it, the genre is about Humanity "conquering the odds" and "arriving victorious", but if you need to pull out a Deus Ex Machina to do so, then go back to the drawing board, having a "I win you lose" card for humanity, makes their victory seem less...rewarding, like if you go into it knowing that the main plot point is "oh yeah the humans have a planet-splitting weapon" it feels less cool when the they win, I prefer the suspense, like the slow realization that the Aliens lack a super-weapon like Nukes...or railguns, or the aliens losing a battle because their ego caused them to underestimate humanity's grit and resolve...listen, I get why there are folks who'd like that, I get it, this is not an attack, but it's not my cup of tea...
