Variety (@Variety)

Vince Gilligan on pitching the original concept for #Pluribus when execs were asking, “What’s next in the ‘Breaking Bad’ world?”:

“We live in a world of IP, where the safest thing to do is reboot something that has an audience. I wanted to prove to myself I wasn’t a one-trick pony. It’s harder than it’s ever been to get something made that’s not based on a previous movie or comic book or video game. Every generation deserves its own stories, instead of just the stories of their grandparents.”

The long walk ||Fuck, this was a bit too disturbing for what I was expecting. Definitely a solid movie||

[tawny parcel]

Bravo Vince

[rich meadow]

The long walk ||I'm glad that there's really no fluff to this movie. Think that makes it more eerie and tense. It's literally just the walk from start to finish without any unnecessary exposition||

||if anything, I think I would have preferred to not even see Garraty's flashback with his dad and left that up for interpretation too||

As a fan of the book I’m disappointed

Huh 😭

[pale trellis]

and whys that

[mild seal]

why does he have the eyes of a serial killer

[foggy mirage]

He runs an actual cult

[foggy mirage]

Coincidence ?

I wont be suprised if they cast him for a season of monster playing him

😭

[sage remnant]

my issues with the books aren't ones most people had

It's my least fav cosmere book so far

[pale trellis]

im lovin it

its what i wanted and more

[sage remnant]

I rated it like a 2/5

I liked the final two chapters, and some aspects of it

but it's the book that frustrated me the most in recent memory

[pale trellis]

whys that

spoiler free

since i aint done with it yet

[sage remnant]

mainly ||
I don't like epigraphs spoiling the content of the book and leading to reveals earlier than the story organically reaches it.
The plot is very unrefined with some very contrivances
The lore/worldbuilding expansion is pushed to last moment in regards to some elements of the story, rather than properly progressing it.
I found character arcs of some characters to be done VERY poorly || HoA

[pale trellis]

|| just to confirm, epigraphs are the text inbetween chapters right? || HoA mistborn

[sage remnant]

Yes

That's oone of my most frustrating part and part of the reason I dnf'ed the book one time

[pale trellis]

ngl i havent been reading all those

[sage remnant]

makes sense

[pale trellis]

i forgot how to do the

command

[sage remnant]

~~

[pale trellis]

thanks

[sage remnant]

It's a part of the book and it's intended by the author

It's placed there to be read then

so my mind cannot not read it

and when I read it, it makes some later stuff, which does it better, meaningless

[pale trellis]

|| Where I'm at, TenSoon just escaped, so far im having a fun time, I think the character arcs are going smoothly, Im really liking how Elend isn't exactly using better methods than the Lord Ruler did, and the strain its putting on his mental. || HoA mistborn

[pale trellis]

i read a them every here and there but i havent read each one

but I like the way each of them are written so far

(although the problems you faced might not be where I am currently)

after HoA im taking on warbreaker

[sage remnant]

Have you read stormlight?

if you have read stormlight till WaT, you should read Secret History after HoA

Secret History's best Mistborn book for m e

[pale trellis]

i read

about 300 pages of TWoK

but this was almost 2 years ago

(didnt dislike it at all, loved what I read, just had personal shit going on)

[modest canyon]

Reading that rn!

[sage remnant]

Nice nice

I would go Yumi and then Mistborn era 2 prolly

Mistborn era 1 made me almost give up on reading anything else of cosmere so thank god Secret History saved it

[pale trellis]

mainly reading warbreaker before stormlight || because i heard of cameos happening and stuff|| stormlight warbreaker

but i also like the premise, and the magic sounds cool

[modest canyon]

L take Secret History is ||Just non stop Kelsier glaze 🥱||

[sage remnant]

eh

It's an more emotional catharsis to the story than HoA

[modest canyon]

I think the recommended order is ||Way of Kings, Warbreaker, Words of Radience||

[sage remnant]

SH|| and it's more so non-stop Kelsier antiglaze || lol

eh

It's just cuz one single dialogue is mentioned in WoR

just read one single series at a time

Instead of going Dicaprio meme in WoR

you'll go DiCaprio meme in Warbreaker

[pale trellis]

yeah

ive heard before wor is better for reading Warbreaker

[sage remnant]

WoR is a bad book regardless anyway

[modest canyon]

That’s also what I’ve heard

[pale trellis]

but id rather just read it before I even start stormlight to beginwith

[sage remnant]

It really won't make a difference other than going DiCaprio face twice

literally

https://tenor.com/view/thats-it-yes-thats-it-that-right-there-omg-that-thats-what-i-mean-gif-17579879

[pale trellis]

i like going dicaprio face

[sage remnant]

thhen go dicaprio face when you read WB

I am going a random af reading order

and I am enjoying them

[pale trellis]

Also I read pretty fast

[sage remnant]

some part of cosmere fandom is just anal about reading orders

[pale trellis]

Ive heard

[modest canyon]

You say this like you haven’t just shit on half of the books

[sage remnant]

I mean, my issue is with the bookos

and I only really dislike HoA and Tress

every other cosmere book is still at like A there

[modest canyon]

I’m gonna put my foot calluses into a soup for you to eat

Wtf

[sage remnant]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hmCAKlcr7M
this is what that led to

why

[modest canyon]

HoA is the best Mistborn era 1 novel bruh

[sage remnant]

I have already explained why I disliked it here

I like WoA most

and even then I hate the sanderlanche there

[pale trellis]

I like WoA more than FE aswell

[sage remnant]

It's a more interesting novel

Good political fantasy

woa || And really interesting post-mortem of revolutiion ||

[pale trellis]

I’d say FE has the better hook, WoA has the better plot and character writing

[pale trellis]

I second this

[sage remnant]

I just find the sanderlanche really weak

[modest canyon]

Well of Ascension ||By good political fantasy do you mean Elend showing zero development in character, political theory and likability?||

[sage remnant]

And || Straff not dying to Amarantha and just dying to Vin swinging Berserker sword || is the single worst decision I have read in any book. WoA

[sage remnant]

100x more likeability

I am not interested in this discussion if you are not willing to consider people like/dislike different things and discuss about the specifics Euge

[modest canyon]

WoA ||Literally got mogged by his half brother that didn’t survive the book||

[sage remnant]

sorry

[modest canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

[sage remnant]

Even after I said I disliked HoA and consider it the worst, I said that the reasons for that has been some specifics to me and not ones I would expect others to have

[modest canyon]

See you say this and then literally do the exact same thing

[sage remnant]

?

how so

[modest canyon]

#western-series message

[sage remnant]

Yeah because I already explained why above

I went on specifics already

And even then I already accepted that it wouldn't be ones many people would bother to be affected by or think about

[pale trellis]

anyways

[sage remnant]

mistborn bad amirite

[pale trellis]

Wrong!

I have Elantris on hand aswell

[modest canyon]

Elantris is aight

[sage remnant]

I am interested in Elantris

[pale trellis]

but im saving that for when Im in a sanderson mood again after this binge

[sage remnant]

more so cuz of cosmere implications in other books

[modest canyon]

It’s like a 3.5/5 for me

Same as WoA

[sage remnant]

TFE is 3.5. WoA is 4. HoA is 2

[pale trellis]

tfe for me was an 8/10

[modest canyon]

I don’t think I’ve actively disliked any of the Cosmere novels I’ve read

[pale trellis]

well of ascension was a 9/10

[modest canyon]

Well, fully

[sage remnant]

I have disliked HoA

and Tress

[modest canyon]

Same!

[pale trellis]

and hoa so far is an 8.5

[modest canyon]

4/5 star rating

[sage remnant]

And even Tress would be like idk 5/5 for most of yall here

[pale trellis]

but going up

[sage remnant]

HoA ramps up

you'll have it at 9.5

see

[modest canyon]

That’s what I rated it

[sage remnant]

See

[pale trellis]

(ngl probably the cosmere work im the least interested in)

[sage remnant]

I can see why people would like it and rate it

[modest canyon]

TWOK is like a solid 4/5 so far

[sage remnant]

But I have specifics issues that made me hate it

just that

Even my least fav stormlight book is like 4.25

[modest canyon]

TWOK ||Tbh I’m mostly interested in Szeth and Dalinar stuff so the Shallan/Kaladin chapters I lowkey dread||

[sage remnant]

more of my kind of story

[sage remnant]

can't relate

TWOK || Szeth's my fav character in all of Stormlight, but I enjoyed all of those POVs ||

[pale trellis]

we can't be friends!

[sage remnant]

||Kaladin's was most fun to read ||

||I like reading about my depressed sad boi ||

[pale trellis]

TWoK || kaladin i suppose I get, me personally I loved his chapters, but Shallan I dont get, she's great ||

[sage remnant]

The prose there was worst even by Brandon's standards

[modest canyon]

TWOK/ASOIAF ||Okay maybe not dread as much as I’d say “less interested” bc it’s all great so far. Dread would more describe every single Daenerys chapter in ASOIAF||

[sage remnant]

in his other books, they don't hamper my reading. So it serves the purpose

in Tress, it actively took me out of reading

[pale trellis]

|| isnt it like written from the perspective of wit|| stormlight and tress

[sage remnant]

Uhhhh

[modest canyon]

This makes it make sense I promise 😭

[sage remnant]

Yes but there's more

I understand Euge

just don't relate cuz differing taste and all

[modest canyon]

It’s not bad!!

[pale trellis]

this is all I know about the book btw

[sage remnant]

You'll have Tress at like 4 or 5 /5 sieg

no doubt about it

[modest canyon]

My top 5 characters so far are

1. ||Dalinar||
2. ||Szeth but jury is out bc I’ve read like 3 chapters||
3. ||Shallan||
4. ||Kaladin||
5. ||Jasnah||

^ TWOK

[sage remnant]

You would find my issues to be outrageous when I explain them to you then

[pale trellis]

ill read it eventually

aside from frugal

its the secret project im least interested in

Yumi is up at the top for interest of course

[sage remnant]

at that point in the book my list was |
||
Szeth
Kaladin
Dalinar
Shallan
Adolin ||

twok

[modest canyon]

TWOK ||Jasnah is soooooo interesting to me. Like why is she the ultimate contrarian LMAO||

[sage remnant]

I'll read it soon cuz my gf gifted me the physical book for it

but with my disappointment with Tress, I am less willing to read it

[modest canyon]

The cover goes hard

[sage remnant]

TWOK || Nice. I found Jasnah parts fun only due to Shallan's dynamics with her ||

[modest canyon]

TWOK ||Im getting more into the Shallan chapters bc she was drawing some fuckin worm head things when they weren’t there and it was freaking me out||

[sage remnant]

TWOK || The first time I read it, I really liked that we get a POV which is seet completely in a library ||

had blown my 16 y/o brain cuz I considered it such a bold decision

WoR really went from my fav book to least fav stormlight book in reread. Funny when these happen

enough about bad books tho

@modern lichen my new rec to you is Way Station by Clifford D Simak

'65's hugo winner

Does some really interesting and bold things

[modern lichen]

I’ve decided on my 50th read of this year

[sage remnant]

what's it gonna be

[modern lichen]

A reread of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

All 6 books

It’s a short enough collection

[sage remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/hooray-letsgo-lets-go-gif-18410791

you are probably not aware but it's like one of my fav series

[modern lichen]

It’s one of my favorites too

But it’s been a while since I read all of them

[sage remnant]

nice nice

have way station for your next year's read

It does some things which I would never have expected to work in the way it did

this had been my reaction recently

[modern lichen]

Katabasis

I’m tired boss…. This is more of an academic digression than a scene from a story

[sage remnant]

atp that's kinda been her USP so I doubt that she would leave it lol

[modern lichen]

It’s fucking me up even more this time

[tawny parcel]

💔

5 is one of the goats

also

TWOK ||SHallan in twok is the goat, she absolutely clears the other povs||

[sage remnant]

||I think Shallan only got more interesting than others in ||WoR

oops

in TWOK, every other POV was more interesting

[tawny parcel]

crazy

[sage remnant]

|| Her's wasn't bad, but just preferred everyone else's ||

twok

[tawny parcel]

twok|| I think on reread I would like Kaladins more, but the beginning it felt like it had no direction first time, but by the halfway mark of twok i was locked into kaladin as well||

[sage remnant]

TWOK || Honor Chasm is one of my fav scenes in the whole series ||

years ago when I randomly picked this book up, that was where it had hooked me

[tawny parcel]

twok ||lowkey now that I thinka bout it dalinar prob has the worst start in twok, love his character but im kinda farting on what he even did on that book besides the beginning with the hunt? oh ya its actually coming back to me as a i type it njbm||

idk

all the characters are good

[sage remnant]

I almost had praised your takes earlier ngl

[tawny parcel]

bro

my takes are elite

nothing but bombs

[sage remnant]

anyway TWOK || Dalinar's journey in book 1 was more about learning to be better person than the Warlord that he was, being moven by grief, and trying to be better than he should have but failing at that continously ||

[tawny parcel]

twok|| its not about dalinar was bad, its just that everyone is better ||

[sage remnant]

idk I like him more than || Shallan's ||

twok

It was more active

had more direction

[tawny parcel]

Also ob ||i still stand by the favt dalinar is carried by his flashbacks and ending in this book, othetwise hes lowkey mid||

[sage remnant]

Plus it was more so related to like events of the story

[sage remnant]

Maybe someday later down the line

[foggy mirage]

Dark tower is absolute gas

[sage remnant]

It's just 18 books counting rest of King that tie into it

[tawny parcel]

I still have dune, lotr, and the rest of tsa sitting on my shelfss

[sage remnant]

TSA good

Dune I don't think you will like

[foggy mirage]

You can just read the dark tower books btw

[sage remnant]

LOTR is just 1 stormlight book long anyway

[foggy mirage]

Idk what goro is saying about 18

😭

[valid thunder]

Whadda fuck

[sage remnant]

see like

gotta read The Stand for || Flagg || Dark tower

complete experience of King's multiverse

[tawny parcel]

Nah i remember it now but i still think hes worse than the others

[sage remnant]

Nah don't let mirio say otherwise

[tawny parcel]

Why not I’m an intellectual

You dont think I’m an intellectual?

[sage remnant]

some people can't accept people like different things

like mirio

[valid thunder]

Twok || dalinar was easily the best. The other was a depressed twink boy in his gay band and then a priest flirting with a minor ||

[sage remnant]

I meannn
You might appreciate it but I don't think it falls under your taste

given what I know you like and dislike

you might like Children of Dune most

[tawny parcel]

😭

[sage remnant]

but I doubt you'll even finish Dune to reach that

[tawny parcel]

twok ||i like twinks||

[sage remnant]

based?

you are phrasing it as somehow it's a bad thing mirio

[foggy mirage]

Only books id recommend while reading the dt are the stand and salem lot

Just to not get overloaded

[sage remnant]

The Stand for || Man in Black I assume? ||

[tawny parcel]

idk waht this mean

s

[foggy mirage]

Many are not ready to hear how peak the talisman and black house is

[sage remnant]

but idk if Wombat would even notice it

[tawny parcel]

hmm, im noticng

Dude it's so minor mention that most people don't

[foggy mirage]

Wtf the new covers way better than the ones I have

https://tenor.com/view/angry-gif-17566658577022057921

[sage remnant]

I like that Black House cover

Talisman, not so much

[foggy mirage]

They are both good

Atleast for me

[sage remnant]

I like this one

most

but this is also like expensive af

I think

143 usd

[foggy mirage]

Good god

Another good thing about king books

[sage remnant]

black sprayed edges

[foggy mirage]

They make good self defense weapons

[sage remnant]

loko nice there

[valid thunder]

143 🙏

[foggy mirage]

Fucking bricks

[sage remnant]

King 🤝 Sanderson

both are real for that

[foggy mirage]

My wolves book is practically a blunt weapon

Same as the stand

[valid thunder]

(Only thing they good for)

[sage remnant]

sure

[foggy mirage]

Insane slander

[sage remnant]

mf likes WoT

makes sense

[foggy mirage]

My favorite cover for king besides the stand one

Wish this mf was cooking up another creepshow season

watch this lisa

[foggy mirage]

Yeah I've seen that crackhead reading order

Before

Unironically

[sage remnant]

[foggy mirage]

The part where he goes in publication order is cracked

[sage remnant]

unironically best way to experience it

but I aint' gonna

King's too cracked for me at times to enjoy everything he writes

[foggy mirage]

Ive read everything in that cracked order already

So I have the extra context

Its just insane tho

[sage remnant]

I have only read Carrie, IT, Stand, Salem's Lot and Darktower

that's enough king

[tawny parcel]

11/22/63 has been relaly good

[sage remnant]

that's in my list

but idk

wanna branch out

I have only read Lovecraft and some other writer from that era and King for horror

not my fav genre

[tawny parcel]

11/22/63 @foggy mirage

[foggy mirage]

Absolute literature, king was cooking like crazy

[tawny parcel]

Lowkey………

[foggy mirage]

I always leave his books enjoying my time greatly

Tho ngl im a huge book mark merchant

[tawny parcel]

11/22/63 ||the premise pulled me in just hearing it, but its one thing to really read it. I liked the shining well enough but like I’m totally locked into this rn ||

11/22/63|| one of those things thats so inherently satisfying to see the cause and effect, not to mention the broader mystery going on in the past like with the yellow card man and how the past doesnt want to be changed||

[foggy mirage]

You just need to let king take the wheel

He can go crazy driving wont ever be a boring ass ride

Another one that gave me a vibe similar to this one was deadzone

[sage remnant]

a lot of times too crazy

[foggy mirage]

Part of the charm

Id rather read a crazy chapter than a boring one

[sage remnant]

I usually enjoy cozy chapters which people find boring

Slice of life. characters being characters

why skull react?

[spiral quest]

I don't like ebooks, I tried a kindle and it just isnt for me. I don't really do audiobooks anymore either. No hate to anyone who uses em, I just find I retain more with an ordinary book than ebook or audio book

[sage remnant]

I enjoy most with ebook now

most books can't even be found in physical ones here

well most that I would wanna read

I have only read one series in audiobooks

[tawny parcel]

I like ebooks because for some reason my work doesnt let me bring in books but i cam be on my phone

[sage remnant]

and that was barely possible

[tawny parcel]

And if I want to read in bed its more convenient on my phone

Because built in lighting

[sage remnant]

I usually have one book I read in phone, one in kindle and one in physical

well used ot have

now I can't juggle more than 1

[limber urchin]

Have you finished words of radiance little buddy

[vast root]

is this show weekly?

[copper phoenix]

I absolutely cannot send it lol

[limber urchin]

[wild ruin]

pluribus so good

[foggy mirage]

This is true

[near echo]

Son of Kong was such a piece of utter trash

Watched it for the joke in Futurama and for Donkey Kong Jr lore it wasn't worth it 😔

[foggy mirage]

Holy fuck

I thought you were gonna call skull island bad

I had to reread

[near echo]

I'm not a big fan of skull island either but I'm due to rewatch it

[foggy mirage]

I enjoyed it

I'm a Kong fan

I see big monkey i like

[regal root]

I'm considering beginning the arduous journey of diving into the Warhammer novels, but I am afraid

400+ things to read

[sage remnant]

Starting with Horus Rising?

[regal root]

Mhm

[sage remnant]

Nice

[regal root]

Technically I have spoiled myself to major events so I have an extremely rough understanding of where things stand in the current setting

But not even remotely close to finer details or character profiles

This channel on YT I've seen has done some dramatic readings of certain passages and just kills it

[foggy mirage]

Have fun

And welcome

I'm a huge fan

[sage remnant]

@mild seal

[mild seal]

already taken care of

[modern lichen]

@sage remnant finished Katabasis

Oh brother

[sage remnant]

I am on Kuang break for a while

until she writes something other than academia criticism pieces

[modern lichen]

@sage remnant Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is so effortlessly hilarious

[sage remnant]

It had won me over since the first chapter

|| Never would I expect that destruction of a planet is so fucking funny || HHGTTG

[modern lichen]

The third page and it’s making me laugh so hard

[sage remnant]

@shrewd sigil I learned smth about HoA today and it is making me lower my score for it even more

|| What the fuck do you mean Slowswift isn't HOID ?!?!?!? || HoA/Cosmere all

wait you haven't read WaT still. anyway there's like some small interaction in that which would have made that such a poignant thing

[sage remnant]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGKP2vVwcDg
@modern lichen seen this?

[shrewd sigil]

HoA/cosmere ||I googled him right after the chapter thinking he'd be a dragon or something but yeah no he's just a reference to tolkien that has no connection to the actual lore||

[sage remnant]

It was like probably the ONLY part of the book I completely enjoyed

without any issue

and now that's ruined as well

[sage remnant]

like like HOA/Cosmere || He knwos about spren. He knows about like wider cosmere stuff. He implies Kelsier's not fully dead ||

||How's it not HOIDDDD ||

It's at like 1/5 for me

Icl

and my motivation for further cosmere atp is gone

[shrewd sigil]

||a real hoid fan would know that he doesn't talk in the way slowswift did..||

damn

[sage remnant]

||He does!!! ||

mbe1

like in one instance

it doesn't seem like him

|| But he does kinda adjust at times to fit in with the world ||

mistborn era 1

||Like in TFE. He doesn't have his Hoid-ness||

[shrewd sigil]

HoA/cosmere ||~~either way him smoking is an obvious tell that this is a Tolkien reference ~~||

idk man the things that bother you in the books are always so different from the things that bothered me

you should def still try out era 2 tho 😁

[sage remnant]

I mean

I don't expect it to be same as other people

Yeah I am gonna move on to Malazan

after like finishing this read and Will of Many book 2

[shrewd sigil]

nah I'm not saying it like it's an issue I just mean that I don't know how to agree/disagree since this is something that I just read and moved on, didn't even consider whether I liked or disliked that part

alr

[sage remnant]

I don't think anyone was bothered

I'll probably read Yumi too someday

I already have it

but after Malazan book1

[shrewd sigil]

2032 I'll wait for your stormlight 6 read

[shrewd sigil]

I'm worried about that

[modern lichen]

Oh damn this is cool

I’ll check this out later

[peak pilot]

Busy with everything. I have so much to do and I’m trying to figure out a schedule for myself

But I’ve been making fast progress recently. Only reason I’ve taken this long is because I took like a 2 week break from reading

I’ll probably be finished or close to finished by end of next week

[sage remnant]

Take care man

Thanks

[sage remnant]

Trying to figure schedule is really difficult

2 of my fav series lets goo

[peak pilot]

And you are a hater much to my dismay. Shame shame shame

[sage remnant]

Yes

sorry man plenty things didn't work for me

hoA rn is like 1.5/5

[worthy crypt]

thats crazy. its not great btu 1.5 is like trash level

its like a b+ for me like 3.5-4

[sage remnant]

I don't have anything I fully enjoyed in it

I had one thing

and the reason I enjoyed it was gone today

[worthy crypt]

1.5 is like i didnt even finish it

for me

[sage remnant]

I have plenty of 0.5

I finish books 😎

Sando has 1 0.5 from me. His Reckoners series

[worthy crypt]

theres a finite amount of time i have to read. Even if that means thousands of books across my life. I aint wasting time on something im getting no enjoyment out of, im moving on

[sage remnant]

hoA is a mixed bag

I had it at like 2.5 until today

[peak pilot]

It’s ok we cant all have perfect taste 24/7

[sage remnant]

which is like idk a average book

[worthy crypt]

if somethings not at least 2/5 for me im not finishing it. And if it were a standalone i probably wouldnt even finish 2/5

[sage remnant]

Some realization stuff sorta happened today which effectively killed my interest in reading further Cosmere for a while :kekge:

[sage remnant]

Idk. Usually it has enough things going for me to enjoy

or I read to enjoy the trainwrexk

[peak pilot]

Sanderson washed?

[sage remnant]

Stormlight good

his Wheel of Time good

first two Mistborn and Secret History good

Also hope you HAVEN'T read secret history muk

Read that after era 2

[peak pilot]

I haven’t read it

[sage remnant]

good

[pale trellis]

Stormlight and Warbreaker have me excited

[peak pilot]

I almost picked it up at the store but decided I have too much books to catch up to do that

[sage remnant]

good

you could read it after HoA if you had read like upto WaT

Just follow release order for these sort of things

[pale trellis]

Are you currently reading HOA

[sage remnant]

He has finished

He's in words of radianxe

[peak pilot]

I’m reading book 2 of Stormlight right now

[pale trellis]

O

[peak pilot]

Hero of ages is my second favorite of the Mistborn trilogy

I love all the books though

[pale trellis]

Its gonna be my favorite

I can tell

[peak pilot]

Good

[sage remnant]

WoA Sanderlanche was disappointing

Other than that its my fav book of Mistborn era 1

my favorite's SH which is like 4.999999/5

[peak pilot]

The final empire is my favorite

[pale trellis]

goro

I just encountered what you talked about

[sage remnant]

WoA || had more interesting development for characters and the political fantasy aspects were really nice ||

[pale trellis]

|| the epigraph talked about the revalations if Koloss and Hemalurgy before the chapter did a page later || hoa

[sage remnant]

It would have been in my top books of all time if not for that terrible final act

[sage remnant]

Rendering half of chapter useless

Bravo

[peak pilot]

Vince

I’m still angry with words of radiance

[sage remnant]

It's my least fav Stormlight book

Just cuz of the last act

[pale trellis]

I wish I continued stormlight

[pale trellis]

Should I stop reading the epigraphs

Cus I can always come back to them later

[sage remnant]

If you can, it would enrich the experience

I can only think of 3 instances where Epigraphs did good rather than bad

[tawny parcel]

Is it because of wor ||jasnah||

[sage remnant]

Prolly

I remember him being super salty about it

I had really liked that in my first read iirc

[tawny parcel]

Oathbringer end ||and then she barely does anything in the next book ||

[sage remnant]

Oathbringer ||they love to keep women down smh ||

[sage remnant]

Matters but also true

[spiral quest]

Ideas are sprouting as I write, so that's been fun

[sage remnant]

[spiral quest]

I still am painting the whole picture in my head of what story I want to tell

[sage remnant]

Use a proper mind mapping tools or smth to map them properly

or just a notebook

[spiral quest]

I use a notebook yeh

[sage remnant]

Or if you find smth better then that's good

[peak pilot]

Yeah

[sage remnant]

I used Milanote for my big Wip (that I haven't touched in 3 years )

Was good

Star Wars, original trilogy

Massive lore

[limber urchin]

Welcome to Derry - Ep03 ||Once more, a great episode. Only real complaint is that the whole Luigi's Mansion threat level ghosts didn't work as well for me,
but I didn't hate it. I loved the opening and how it tied back into the main general on the base being directly connected to the older Native American woman
at the shop, and his impacted memories; really great connection all around. And I'm now 110% confident Hanlon will face Pennywise 1:1 and somehow
stop IT for the next 27 years or so until IT needs to feed again. Granted, he could also just help the kids succeeded in stopping IT, but he is for sure gonna
face the clown now that we know he doesn't feel fear in the face of death. Lastly, Pennywise saying "who are you?" to Halloran is very intriguing, as it suggests
IT may not be in as much control as I thought, since someone can invade their world against their will (or maybe Pennywise forced him into his world to get a better look at Halloran and his powers?).||

[foggy mirage]

I gotta sit down and watch

Thank fuck I dint click that

[jolly ruin]

is breaking bad as good as the sopranos or the wire?

[foggy mirage]

Yes ?

Id say the same for better call saul

[limber urchin]

I've never seen the other two, sadly. However, Breaking Bad is, in its own right, a fantastic show.

[foggy mirage]

If you havent already

Recommend sopranos

[limber urchin]

Oh, trust me, I know I should've watched it long, long ago. I'm sure it's a great show.

[royal flint]

heard nothing but great things about the sopranos

need to get around to watching it

[worthy crypt]

I've had like 5 soprano episodes left for weeks I always slow down at the very end cause I get sad about running out

[sage remnant]

Evan watching smth

[rich meadow]

I mean how could I not watch a sci-fi show made my Vince Gilligan

[tawny parcel]

excited to start it

[spiral quest]

I unfortunately zipped right through the 2 eps available and now am waiting

I'll start today

Debating on putting the show off til season 1 wraps

[sage remnant]

Lets see what Vince's magic is supposed to be like

(never watched BB/BCS 😎)

[spiral quest]

If you're ever interested, they are amazing shows

One of the few live action dramas I enjoy

Severance is so good. It makes me sad season 3 is so far off

[tawny parcel]

Is it?

[spiral quest]

Season 2 dropped this year

At the very least we won't get 3 until late next year

[sage remnant]

2027 might be when s3 will come

[tawny parcel]

Severance s2 end ||my parents got so mad at the finale ||

“We won’t be watching season 3”

[spiral quest]

That's certainly one of the takes of all time

[tawny parcel]

I think they enjoyed it, just one of those things lol

[spiral quest]

Ahhh

[foggy mirage]

Welcome to derry ep 3 ||that shit at the graveyard wasn't very good, the forrest scene and stuff with halloran was way better. Also remember Buffy Hanlon ain't stopping shit this cycle is the black spot fire they are fucked. He was still fully in control since halloran was about to jump he got overpowered. It was more curious than afraid or out of place. You have to remember they stop fucking with pennywise after this operation which pretty much implies this fails spectacularly. Remember that is likely the building the colonel is giving the air troops.||

[proud fiber]

just dogshit take

ruined jojos

bad for ratings in general

[scenic terrace]

I'd say it mostly depends, sometimes shit pops off despite everything being dumped at once. However, I'd say overall for a series to pop off virally, I feel like it has a much higher chance of doing so if it's weekly. Granted, the biggest one I can thing of off the top of my head is Queen's Gambit which was released during lockdown so like... I can't even really count it as a success in this particular regard due to the circumstances.

[near echo]

Seeing if I can one up Son of Kong with a worse movie tonight

||Disney's Home on the Range||

[scenic terrace]

1961年公開の映画「人間の条件」や黒沢明監督の「影武者」などに主演し、主宰する「無名塾」で後進を育てた俳優で文化勲章受章者の仲代達矢さんが死去したことが分かった。92歳。

X · Nov 11, 2025, 2:03 AM

[white smelt]

Damn rip

92 is impressive

[spiral quest]

I just prefer watching all of a show as much as I can at once

I don't particularly like waiting on things, it's why I let One Piece get ahead about 10 chapters at a time

[proud fiber]

NO

[white smelt]

You can for sure have your preferences, but jojos Fridays was a thing. There was so much motion behind weekly releases. Hell look at severance. It was talk about weekly and people were losing their minds. With it was the same with jojos back in the 2010s. Netflix binge killed all of that

[main lion]

netflix doesn't understand the anime community

[spiral quest]

While I respect this and acknowledge it

I think the way I consume media and it being a mostly isolated thing for me lends itself more to the binge vs weekly deal

[main lion]

just wait til it ends

then binge

[spiral quest]

Yeah pretty much

[main lion]

but it should be released weekly

[spiral quest]

I can agree

[main lion]

[spiral quest]

I dont like Jojos man

[main lion]

jojo also has a community that is built on memes. Weekly format allows for memes to gain traction. Release everything in batches and no individual moments gain attention

people also have to wait til they have "time" to binge

and watch at their own pace

it becomes a show where you might say "oh yeah I watched some of it. Yeah its been good" "Or really? I binged and loved it"

[spiral quest]

Fair enough makes sense

I wont ever argue against weekly release only because it's super easy for me to just

Wait

And then binge

[main lion]

ye

Ive got a friend that does the same for every series

[spiral quest]

That and I typically dont engage with weekly discussions on any media

[main lion]

sometimes even waits for entire series to end

[spiral quest]

It depends on the series for me

I did that with JJK

But I wont with One Piece

[main lion]

jjk the worst of it...

all powerscaling fraudposters

[spiral quest]

To put it quickly, I was really disappointed in JJK, but I am glad to have read it

Dont know if I'll ever do it again

[main lion]

reading a series I love weekly and interacting with others that do so does help elevate my appreciation of a series.

Conversations that get me to reread a section to remind myself, picking up on new things, being made aware of things even I didnt pick up on initially

etc

[spiral quest]

While I def appreciate that aspect

I am very much a late game kind of person. I like to find things way later, after the hype has died down, then consume it, then read forums and stuff

And kinda think on it at my own pace

[foggy mirage]

Western OS

😭

#other-series

[spiral quest]

I think I got a bit burnt out from weekly conversations when I was keeping up with OP weekly. It felt like I wasnt able to let the chapter digest when I was always talking about it but that's me

[main lion]

reading series from 2005 and then finding message boards/forum posts about the series is so funny because of how people used to talk about anime/manga back then

they'd like, piecemeal give a summary and then add ":3 oooo cute" after it

like little comments

LOL

[main lion]

applies to media in general I just happen to read manga/watch anime so its my frame of reference into the topic

we're not discussing details

[spiral quest]

All media was just consumed and talked about so much differently in those time periods

[foggy mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-side-eye-meme-tiktok-the-pointer-brothers-gif-13730785519279791710

[spiral quest]

People had different lives and delivery methods of whatever content it was. Streaming and the like has really changed everything

[foggy mirage]

I'll add my Western angle id rather just weekly

[main lion]

everything should be weekly

[foggy mirage]

Binge is fine so long as its after its all dropped

[spiral quest]

From a western angle, I pick up my comics weekly, but I am sitting on about 2 Absolute Batmans rn

Probably will wait til around 15

To start up again

[foggy mirage]

15 having 5 extra pages

Is gonna be fun

But thats why they delayed it i believe

Wait no 14

[spiral quest]

I am reading Spiderman Torn as well as Matt Fraction Batman but I am giving those more issues

Yeh

14

15 isnt for a while

[foggy mirage]

Yeah im waiting on martian

Im losing my mind

[spiral quest]

But that's kinda the point for me. I like longer stretches of story to read

[foggy mirage]

I want the next martian

Now

https://tenor.com/view/give-me-what-i-want-gif-15259975

[spiral quest]

Manhunter is on a break isnt it

[foggy mirage]

Coming back this next month

I believe

Saw the covers

Absolutely peak

[spiral quest]

I am waiting to read Manhunter, Green Lantern

Maybe pausing Flash too

[foggy mirage]

Id say jump now

First arc for marrian and gl is done

Martian*

[spiral quest]

I am just waiting for the graphic novels on those

[foggy mirage]

Current stuff coming is new arc stuff

Superman is ending his arc

By next issue

Then its a new one

[spiral quest]

I like the hardcover trades for all of em but I only have Absolute Batman on my pull list for the Absolute Uni

[foggy mirage]

Its good but funny enough slowest one

[foggy mirage]

I really want hardcover for martian

[spiral quest]

Absolute Flash ||what no speed force does to a dude||

[foggy mirage]

Absolute flash latest ||you get omega force instead 🥰 ||

[spiral quest]

Yeh I plan on the hardcover trades for all the absolute line

Which isn't usual for me. Id usually wait for Omnis

[foggy mirage]

It'll be worth it for this line

[spiral quest]

Oh 100%

[foggy mirage]

I hope green arrow is worth the shelf

Thats another W if its great

[spiral quest]

As much as I love omnis, this line is too good to wait years for

[foggy mirage]

Also they sell out like crazy

Like christ

I’m glad you agree

It’s crazy how it legit killed jojos

It was the biggest anime for awhile there

Then Netflix took over

[main lion]

yeah and as a part 6 detractor, I don't even think it has anything to do with the quality

and part 4's production quality was similarly shoddy so its not about that either

[modern lichen]

The distribution model was cheeks yeah

[modern lichen]

Stranger Things release schedule fucks me up still lmao

[leaden depot]

My fucking GOAT

Human Condition trilogy is a must watch

[sage remnant]

Finished Way Station
||It kinda managed to get the final act right ||

I was annoyed that || They brought a pursuit and kill sort of event in final arc, for a kind of forced quick rising action, but it tied to Lucy and Talisman and just about anything so cleanly and yet without feeling forced even tho it was tied so cleanly ||

Also of || getting Lucy as part of Peace Conference Delegation, which first got me like 'really?', but which again works because of Secretary already being aware of Alien body and Enoch and now Earth being part of Galactic Central ||

|| Final chapter with Mary, and final goodbyes was also pretty good. Been thinking about it and can't find what didn't work for me. There's this sense of wrongness or like lack of finesse in the execution for me in that, but I can't identify exactly what it lacked. It was still a good point to end on, connecting Mary and the pyramid and final goodbye to the past, beginning a new chapter and letting go of one he was clutching to for long, even if he didn't realize it ||

Ending up at a solid 4.25/5

[limber urchin]

Welcome to Derry ep3 ||Awwww damn I keep forgetting about the Black Spot. And yeah, you're right, I bet that the new hangout he asked for near the end will be the Black Spot. Oh nooooo........ ||

[foggy mirage]

Welcome to derry ep 3 ||it was a great episode but letting it digest that cemetery chase was not it. The guy they got to play dick was prefect though. And it's coming together well in that aspect. But remember will's dad dies in the fire, holleran saves will in the book.||

[limber urchin]

[foggy mirage]

Flabbergasted for 50 mins

[frank rivet]

WTD ep 3 - || Please 🥺 penny wise not him, WILL no your black, don't go towards the sound 😭 ||

@foggy mirage @limber urchin
WTD ep 3 - || interesting world building episode for sure, one thing that's interesting is Francis said he forgot her 15 years ago or did I hear that correct because let say give or take he's in his 60s. Wouldn't he have seen penny wise and that girl maybe like 50-55 years ago ? 15 years is relatively recent ||

[foggy mirage]

Wtd IT ep 3 ||Lucy Will is Mike's fucking dad he's got super plot armor lmao.||

[frank rivet]
