Think of it this way: at any given time in a classroom there are about 30 students for every faculty member (this is highly variable of course).

We got a ton of Thanos’ motivations in Avengers, and I’ve never seen anyone complain about that. 

The College is not built for cars. Nobody looks through the catalog to see all the lovely parking lots. College campuses are for pedestrians and sometimes bicyclists. Space is at a premium, and the charge is to persuade you to find another way to get to campus.

No, suburban people fly on planes. They’re the only ones who matter. 

There is no book ending. They will never be finished. 

I live in New York. You don’t send your federal return with your state return, but you do have to copy most of the information from it. 

“People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I’m a crook. I’ve cheated to get everything I’ve got. It’s sport!”

I think it’s a matter of subverting fantasy expectations. In standard fantasy stories, there’s a trilogy and it finishes in the third book. Or maybe a quintology and it finishes in the fifth book.

Everyone gets greyscale and dies?

The books will NEVER be finished.
