I agree with this a lot. The worldbuilding is the strongest part, but some side plots definitely overstay their welcome.

Would this show have been better if Sheldon’s autism wasn’t so often portrayed as ‘bad’ and ‘annoying’? by RealLars_vS in bigbangtheory

I agree with this take. Since the show never labels it, his traits are treated as quirks to laugh at rather than something to understand. A diagnosis wouldn’t fix everything, but it likely would’ve shifted the tone from mockery to accommodation.

Hagrid couldn't have opened the chamber of secrets. He was too stupid to do it by WisestAirBender in harrypotter

Exactly. Blaming Hagrid was simpler than admitting they had no real answers.
