I'm with you in finding horror more interesting/realistic, obviously, but also in terms of being equally tired of the "trope angst". It's a lot like the million and a half posts that blew up about Cameron's Avatar being A) Pocahontas in blueface and B) EEEEEEEEVIL WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU, WHITEY, THAT YOU KEEP TELLING THIS EEEEEVIL STORY?!?, for me: Even just considering that an amazing amount of fantasy is either written by Christians or comes out of a Christian cultural context, you're seriously surprised by the plurality of Special Person With Inborn Superpowers Saves The World stories? C'mon. Do something new, yes--feel free, please.Expect something new, demand it, support it. Just don't act like you're doing something ultra Brave and New by calling out a cliche for being a cliche.
