I will pick out a specific and somewhat irrelevant part of this post because I want to leave a comment but don’t feel qualified to talk about any other part. This part is the segment about Ender’s game. It’s really going to depend on whether we are talking about the books or the movies how hard battle school is. In the movie, battle school is effectively a summer camp for learning how to kill aliens. In the books, however, battle school represents years of psychological torment and isolation which actually occur in multiple locations.
I think I’ve seen it...once? And cached the thought that it wasn’t worth remembering or seeing again. When I wrote those paragraphs, I was thinking not at all about the portrayal in Hood’s film, just what’s in Card’s novels and written works.

In my personal canon of literature, they never made a movie.
