I'm sicking of people slagging on "the chosen one" as a concept. It comes off like complete sour grapes because they're not the special snowflake and can't self insert as people who have a legacy or responsibility to live up to. The Chosen One is not an instant win button. It's an inescapable burden and obligation to be greater and contribute to a larger good than your own petty self interests. Chosen ones are NOT given tools because they were just lucky. They were given them because fate has tasked them. They are often born into a family or larger history than they realize. They carry the curses, triumphs and shames of whole histories. Every time I see some faggot complain about THE CHOSEN ONE as some tired trope it's some retarded jackass thinking he's smarter than the very idea of story telling because of a small amount of genre awareness. Well they're not and if they stopped tipping their fedora so much they might actually be able to see things worth a damn. These people are all bitter, lazy selfish assholes who want to freedom to do whatever they want and not take any responsibility.
