The “hero” is a brat who treats everyone and everything as secondary to whatever he personally wants at any given moment and he learns nothing to the contrary from his escapades.
The mythology is a mess. Fairies … traditionally associated with forests and streams … have chosen to live in underground tunnels like moles. Huh?
They not only have magic, but also no discernible civilization or genius, yet have somehow developed technology way beyond ours. Puh-leeze.
