For me this is the modern She-Ra and the Princesses of Power show.

Ooohhh that explains a bit!
My boss Katie has read the books but not watched the show while I did the inverse. She always says she can't remember any of what I'm saying about it.
Yeah I’ve only watched the show but my wife has done both. The first season attempts adaptation, the second diverges, and the third abandons the books outside of characterization and themes. And like, I love the way they both stick to the theme of “the cishet white man with pain isn’t the main character of the world” but in very different ways. Oh also several characters from the books either had their names changed or were combined in the show.
Cishet? I hope you don't think you're referring to Quentin that way. Maybe you're due for a rewatch. Also if anything, I think it showed how it can be pretty great having someone around with the sense of responsibility that can only be instilled by delusionally thinking you're a main character in a story driven by irresponsible gods and shit.
Peaches and plums motherfucker.
In the books he was straighter apparently. But yeah he’s very much bi in the show. Though I could go for a rewatch.
As a character he is beneficial but his “chosen one” shit is routinely subverted. He’s a linchpin of this apocalypse, those are a regular occurrence. More than anything he’s a mentally ill grad student who happened to be obsessed with a world that was coming to destroy shit.
He certainly is a bundle of coincidence.
