But decades passed, King abandoned his Bachman persona, and could no longer write "badass" because he wasn't a starving angry young English teacher anymore, he was a middle age husband and father who had actually faced death and didn't find it cool or badass at all (it was in fact as darkly funny and grotesque as he had always written it, he commented that the guy who ran him down in a minivan talked and behaved like one of his characters). By the last volume he had completely deconstructed and undermined everything he had built in the first half of the series, the series stopped being a fantasy saga and became an examination of what it means to be a fantasy saga writer, he even inserted himself as a character at one point Ok, true, you might have a few points. But come on! The magnificent seven recreated where they fight robots that look like Dr. DOOM who wield Lightsabres and throw explosive golden snitches from Harry Potter.
