western-series

[hazy radish]

I'd argue it's better than the book

wouldn't argue that for Ice and Fire in general

Fire and Blood b||ut this is a history book and it's quite cartoonish||

[sage remnant]

|| the hightower and targaryen succession shit that started from that point ||

[hazy radish]

Hotd ||bro this is episode 9 XD||

[timber basin]

HOTD/Fire and Blood ||The show kinda butchered numerous aspects from the books tbh. (blood and cheese, Jace’s portrayal as a character entirely, etc.)||

[hazy radish]

that's the end of season 1

[sage remnant]

Oh was it

[timber basin]

Make sure y’all are tagging episode and season numbers pls

[sage remnant]

then well it had 80% good season one

[hazy radish]

how can you say it didn't get a good season when you like the first season

[sage remnant]

Man I took like a month to finish that ep then

[hazy radish]

well I didn't say what happened XD, just responded

but edited to be safe

[timber basin]

HOTD S1 ||To be fair the Hightowers never wanted to sit on the Throne themselves. They just wanted to elevate their family and be the puppet masters, so to speak. I don’t think any of them wanted an actual Hightower on the iron throne.||

[hazy radish]

HOTD/Fire and Blood ||blood and cheese is awful in the book. They actually took a mindless shock value moment and made it mean something with Helena's choice. Now Jaherys dies solely for his gender which highlights the toxic nature of this society much better, and we don't get the edge-tastic dialogue of your "your mom wants you dead" to a 2 year old who won't understand it and won't live long enough for it to matter. ||

[sage remnant]

Maybeeee

what I want is that part really lost me

And there had been other parts before I wasn't a fan of either

[timber basin]

HOTD/Fire and Blood ||This is pretty true tbh but alot of book fans would disagree with you. That and the book fans disagree with making Aegon II (Alicent’s son) a sympathetic character but they both make sense tbh.||

[hazy radish]

HOTD season 2 -- read only if you want ||if it makes you feel better, they clear up the misudnerstanding in the first 3 episodes of season2, but by then it's too late. Also the misunderstanding does not matter. It only colored Alicent's motives, Otto and the others would've forced the issue of Aegon's cornonation no matter what, they say as much.||

[hazy radish]

HOTD/Fire and Blood|| I don't see how he's sympathetic in the show. he's a monster who has children forced to fight in a pit and files down their teeth and grow out their nails so it's more fun to watch... including his own children. He's also a rapist. He suffers more in the show and we see what shapes him and his insecurities... but that's just because the show made everyone a person. Alicent, Cristen Cole, Aegon, they're all cartoons in the history book, they're actually tragic and understandable people in the show... despicable people, but yeah. ||

HOTD/Fire and Blood ||I'm sick of change = bad thinking. Also the book has multiple accounts of most important events and plenty of events that would've happened in private. There's no ultimate book versioin other than head canon. ||

[sage remnant]

Maybe I'll give it a try someday

I really want to watch Dunk and Egg tho

Hopefully it's good

[hazy radish]

I encourage you to, assuming season 3 and 4 are good lol

[timber basin]

HOTD S2 E1/Fire and Blood ||I think he’s sympathetic in the show because of how much they seem to push that Aegon is the way that he is because he was neglected by Viserys and Alicent. They also made it very clear that Aegon never wanted the throne. They also kinda show him as a sympathetic character cause after he gets coronated, he genuinely tries to be a good king (that scene where he’s hearing petitions) and is shown as actually really loving his sons in that first episode of S2. Season 2 opening they really tried to make Aegon look like a King that was at least “trying” to be Good.||

[hazy radish]

first half has been, barring some HBO crassness added

[sage remnant]

Let's see

depends on how annoyed I am with first ep of s2

gotta do with mid fantasy until Stormlight gets adapted

[hazy radish]

HOTD S2 E1/Fire and Blood|| right but this is like saying Hitler is a good person because he famously liked dogs. I agree they make him more of a 3d person. But him trying to be a decent king isn't for the people but his own ego. he's chasing the acceptance he never got from his parents. When they were all cheering him at the dragon pit. He loves his son... as his legacy. He pays no mind to his daughter. And he can't even tell them apart. That should tell you he doesn't love his son, he loves what he represents. The dude is basically an even more insecure Joffrey. Dude kills all the rat catchers and apoints cole on a whim.||

||btw the fact that we have anything to say about him in the show is a win, because there's nothing to say about the book version. Aemond is even better in this regard.||

[timber basin]

HOTD S2 E1/Fire and Blood ||I mean I totally agree with you, he’s done too many absolutely heinous things to even be considered sympathetic but that’s why book fans are kinda angry about it cause of how irredeemably evil he is, there’s no point in really trying to make him look like a character you can feel sorry for.||

||But there are moments, to me at least, that are clearly attempts from the writers at trying to veer the hatred of the audience away from Aegon.||

[hazy radish]

HOTD Fire and Blood ||it's funny because the more common complaint I see from this is rhaenera and alicent being white washed, not Aegon. This complaint is silly to me. The dance of the dragons in the book feels like a story not worth telling tbh. This adds what makes Ice and Fire interesting, internal conflict. Vows and societies' expectations warping people into monsters. Human heart in conflict with itself.||

||I don't think it's perfect, but I cannot fathom how the book can be deemed objectively better in this case||

it's pretty funny though, I'm usually on the other end of this

I think the Ice and Fire books (at least the first 3) are much better than GOT season 1-4

but here? I cannot understand the reasoning.

[valid thunder]

Someone here has read the poppy war right ?

[sage remnant]

[valid thunder]

Whyy

[sage remnant]

Overly blunt

[valid thunder]

I dont mind the first part too much

Hmm

[median nova]

finished 2 scream movies so far

[raw gate]

Twin Peaks S3 end ||I agree that there’s definitely something happening there on a more implicit scale, in regards to Audrey and the show nodding towards the fact that they’re fictitious (Audrey being called to dance to a song titled “Audrey’s Dance,” from the official Twin Peaks soundtrack, which in itself acknowledges a specific moment from the show’s original run). But I also think there’s stuff happening to Audrey that we’re supposed to interpret more literally, as it’s applied to the actual context/narrative of the show. Audrey shares a line with The Arm, where they reference the story of the little girl who lives down the lane. Audrey also shares some similarities with Diane that I think have to be considered if we want to understand what could possibly be happening to her. And I think it’s sort of clear that she’s been duplicated, similarly to Diane, or that she’s maybe living inside a dream of her own creation that she then finally wakes up from. The major implication being she that the real Audrey suffers from a major psychological disorder and lives somewhere for insane people. Her tragedy is banal, but it’s certainly in the form of an acknowledgment that she’s no longer the Audrey from 25 years ago.||

[worthy crypt]

I liked the premise of the poppy war and it started out good but I found it frustrating as it got later on into the trilogy

[limber harbor]

HOTD and Fire and Blood || it’s still mindless shock value in the shows and Jaeherys was going to die for his gender in the books anyway because it was always a son a son. Part of the reason why it’s so shitty is because they took away the attention of the blacks first truly harmful act by having Alicent and Sir Criston sleeping together while it was happening for additional shock value and it’s just so silly ||

[limber harbor]

I disagree completely

HOTD Fire and blood || they make Aegon more incomprehensibly evil in the shows than in the books, the writers have no intention to make Aegon “look better”. At almost every point in the show they change a book scene to make Aegon look worse. They created an entire character for Aegon to SA, they changed a coordinated team effort between Aemond/Aegon and Criston in the books into Aegon drunkenly and suicidally driving his dragon into a fight with Meleys ruining things for everyone. They make Aegon constantly bully Armond something that once again didn’t exist in the books. Aegon is almost always the scapegoat moron in the show. And they’ve set it up that way||

[limber urchin]

Twin Peaks S3 ||Oh god that's a sick explanation, I really need to rewatch and consider that angle. So tragic too. ||

[raw gate]

Twin Peaks S3 ||Mark Frost wrote a book called the Final Dossier, which helps contextualize some of the happenings in The Return. Which, to be clear, I don’t think Lynch cares at all about, or even considered, but it’s still a useful tool when deciphering and mulling over the potential meaning of the series. Anyways, I bring it up because Frost writes stuff in the book that is later vindicated by the series itself, like Audrey marrying her financial advisor and Mr. C doing some very uncool things to her that result in the birth of Richard, but there’s obviously a lot more going on. A big hint is that the production documentary reveals that Sherilyn Fenn was wearing a hospital gown during the filming of Audrey’s final scene, which is an implication that she’s in a private care facility, which begs the question of “well, then what the fuck is happening during the scenes where Audrey’s clearly not in a facility?”||

[limber urchin]

I need to get this book wtf I didn't know about this. Also I feel like an idiot for not putting 2 and 2 together with that last detail haha

[raw gate]

Twin Peaks S3 ||I like to think of Audrey’s arc as a vague inversion of Laura. Since dualism is a big part of the show’s tone and structure, Laura’s tragedy is dying young while Audrey’s is not dying young and instead growing old into a lifestyle that’s contrary to what we ever expected of the character during the original run. She fails to realize her potential, likely in large part due to external circumstances happening around her that she had no control over. But, yeah, I definitely think there’s some weird link to the Black Lodge there just because of the similarities between her and Diane and the fact that she’s one of the only characters who recites a phrase that the Arm also uses||

[raw gate]

I also don’t own it I should probably look to buy it somewhere

[limber urchin]

fake fans the lot of us smh

[raw gate]

I respect Frost’s contributions and would even propose that they help edge some of Lynch’s commitment to mystery out in a way that’s beneficial to the series, but it’s just so clear that Twin Peaks is at it’s greatest when Lynch’s vision is imposed. Like, even the Final Dossier brings it’s own reliability into question, because the concept of it’s existence is antithetical to the point of the series’ ambiguity

Which I say to sum up the reason as to why I haven’t considered purchasing the book. Primarily because I kind of already understand how it contributes to the show without having read it by virtue of conversations with other people and personal investigation

WAIT WAIT WAIT

In the intro to each episode - each character snorts after getting announced, Daddy pig ALWAYS goes last because his is the loudest.

Now in the scene - Mummy pig always reacts shocked by the sheer volume and Peppa physically moves backwards due her size.

George DOESNT REACT AT ALL.

If George has been partially dead this whole time - it would EXPLAIN his lack of reaction each time. That or standing next to Daddy pig every day for the intro has lead to him developing hearing issues.

HOTD /Fire and blood y||et that all results in a much more intresting character to follow ngl||

[hazy radish]

HOTD and Fire and Blood ||it's not quite the same. The book version has another boy who could have died, so it undercuts the dying just for gender aspect, and adds in a pointless sophie's choice moment, that's just there to try and up the edge. Also having Criston and Alicent togther isn't for shock there.... we had seen them sleeping togther before, It was done to highlight Criston's sullied storyline, where he failed his duty again because he was breaking his oaths. Which is amazingly followed up on when he lays in Eirke next epsiode projecting and being like "your cloak is soiled sir, blah blah" --- Cole and Alicent are so much better realized than the cartoons from Fire and Blood. ||

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 2 ||Chapter 18|| ||Wow, I was very wrong about The Watcher being Hoid. Man, this Zane dude is a fucking bastard. However, he's at least self aware and wonders if Vin can "save him," which seems to indicate he wants his insanity with "God's" voice to disappear - perhaps there's redemption for him? He and Elend's dad on the other hand, fuuuuuck that dude. I mean, I already felt that way about him, but getting his POV was nasty. This book definitely has more going for it. It's bigger, badder, with more POVs, and room for a bit more subtlety; good job, Brandon. Although, not sure how I feel about the Terriswoman, it's like she kind of got shoved into the story as a plot device to make Elend more respected and presentable as a king to his people.||

egghead outfits and gunko make me roll my eyes for sure but it doesnt ruin the story for me

Nearly all the girls I know who were into fairy tail, Naruto and Bleach but not OP say it's because OPs women are weird and it feels more like a boys club than any of the others

[sand cypress]

the blade itself || Jezal would be your goat... ||

last argument of kings ‼️ ending spoilers ‼️ entire trilogy spoilers‼️ ||Wow, what a book. That ending is bleak. Masterfully written, with a climatic sequence that just keeps going and wraps up each character’s arc beautifully. The character writing is among the strongest I’ve ever read.

I hated Jezal for all of books 1 and 2. He’s completely arrogant, selfish, and vain. I laughed at all his failures. His ascension to the throne felt very wrong. I did not want to like it, and yet Abercrombie changed my mind. Jezal’s struggles with the crown felt very real and in the end I even sympathized with the guy.

Glokta is the MVP character by far. I have never read a character like him and he steals the show in every book. He’s equally charming as he is monstrous. On one page he’s a brutally torturer and on the next he reveals a slight trace of chivalry. I should hate the man but somehow Abercrombie has me cheering for him. It helps that he’s hilarious, self-aware, and rational with his decision making.

Say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he's a cunt. Logen is the character that I the most difficult to place my feelings on. He’s a deeply flawed man, trying to change for the better, but failing at it. His story is fully a tragedy. He ends his story the same way he started it- falling, and on the brink of death. The cyclical nature of his struggle is painful to read, and all too real and familiar in many ways.||

[tawny parcel]

A strong compliment I assume

[sand cypress]

last argument of kings ‼️ ending spoilers ‼️ entire trilogy spoilers‼️||West aka Furious. Not the most compelling character. A horrible brother to start. Every character is shades of grey, even the best of them. West is probably the “most good” character. He takes justice into his own hands., quite literally. We see him genuinely put forth his best effort to do good for his country and comrades. And yet he is not free of the consequences of war in the wake of Bayaz.

Bayaz, the man behind it all. I suspected he was up to no good by the end of book 1. The hints are there. Logen said it exactly right: “Say one thing for the First of the Magi, say he’s a cheating bastard.” But I had no idea of the extend of it. He’s a mystical, larger than life, intelligent, powerful being beyond the comprehension of normal men, acting as the puppet master of all human history. And scariest of all are his very human flaws: greed, pride, hunger for power and control. Just excellent. I would love nothing more than to see his epic downfall.

Ferro is awesome. Nuff said. “’Fuck yourselves!’ she hissed. And with her last grain of strength she forced the box closed.” Ferro has no masters. Goat behavior.

So yeah you could say I immensely enjoyed these books||

[foggy mirage]

It was his first story

Carrie/firestarter/the institute ||the psychic shit is all connected in the king books. So you get bits of lore in later stuff that ties into it for some stuff.||

[frank rivet]

yep for sure and i feel like now with retrospective there is a lot more to pull in similar to WTD

[raw gate]

Tokyo Drifter ||To put it lightly, Tokyo Drifter is a mesmerizing candy-colored and genre-bending yakuza film that illuminates all of Seijun Suzuki’s talents and idiosyncrasies as a filmmaker and, along with Branded to Kill, cements him as an auteur. The tumultuous structure and chaotic editing of his movies puts him in a distinct realm of unmistakable style. Suzuki’s substance is style, and his movies wouldn’t be half as good without his experimentally stylistic approach.||

Kinda funny how Suzuki’s movies are considered complicated and difficult to follow when, to me, they’re so linear and deal in narratives and themes that are actually rather simple. It’s the visual flair and the playful tone of his movies that make them memorable and unique

[white smelt]

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 2 ||lmfao Brandon is doing that classic trope where characters are not speaking about problems when speaking up about them could solve confusion. Sazed finally comes back to Luthadel to warn about what's going on with the mists. And then Vin just says nothing about the entity she's been seeing nor reminding them of the writings from the journal entries.||

[sage remnant]

Mistborn book 2 || would you really call that a trope when it's SO prevalent in real life ||

[limber urchin]

Mistborn 2 ||Oh yeah, it's a trope because it's so known and relied on in storytelling.||

Mistborn book 2 ||But tropes are just tools, they are not inherently bad. All stories are compiled of tropes. ||

[sage remnant]

ye

that phrase just had that negative connotation lol

to me atleast

Mistborn 2 || I read this book before breakup and that part was so relateable cuz any issues we had was her going like Vin and me going like elend ||

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 2 ||Yeah, tropes are not a bad thing. But in this moment, I didn't like it. And considering how dire things are, I would've thought she would have said something. I assume she will eventually do so, but I don't know when.||

[sage remnant]

Mistborn book 2 || I thought that really suits Vin ||

Mistborn book 2 || She has MASSIVE trust issues baggage lmao ||

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 2 ||She does. But I'm not gonna be as forgiving when those trust issues affect possibly the world itself, especially when she knows the final words the Lord Ruler said to her.|||

[sage remnant]

which part specifically

oh wait

rafo

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 1 end ||You don't know what I do for the world. Something like that.||

I'm cool with RAFO

I've heard confusing things from book 1 get explained better

[sage remnant]

I really liked the characters best in book 2

|| I think when Vin first mentions about this, she has already told us that she had told Elend or smth || Mistborn book 2

so like I think you might have missed or forget that bit?

[limber urchin]

So far, book 2 feels like an overall improvement from book 1, especially on the nuance and worldbuilding front.

[sage remnant]

based

WoA || part of why I like it also has to do with some degree of angst and trust issues and internal conflict ||

so idk how much that might work for you

was something I really thought these characters needed

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 2 ||I think you're right on that? I'm mostly focused on the moment Sazed was at the dinner table after his journey back. That was the part I thought she would've said something. Oh and then there's that bitch Tindywlings or whatever, I have not warmed up to her yet and she just basically calls Sazed a liar to his face. My poor boi. :(||

[sage remnant]

man I like reading your takes cuz either they would be interesting or they would match mine

cuz like I had the same reaction of those characters and those parts

[limber urchin]

well i'm really liking book 2 so far at least

BTW, you may remember me telling you when I picture characters in books, I kind of just make them up in my mind regardless of how the text describe them. So, here goes. Mistborn book 2 ||Sazed: looks like Baron Tamago from One Piece. And Tindwyl looks like a Garuda woman from Zelda. I'm not joking, and I don't know why my brain does this. ||

[sage remnant]

[modest canyon]

Words of Radiance ch 32 MEGA spoilers ||Holy fuck. I felt the thrill just reading that. I like the subtle details of the chapter too. Kaladin thinking something was amiss after his dream. Syl agreeing. Dalinar’s trust of Kaladin immediately will prolly make Kaladin and the Kholin clan closer. Because once Szeth showed up and shit hit the fan I was so engrossed. Seeing Kaladin fight with Stormlight and being hopelessly outclassed by Szeth was insane. And then the ending of the chapter made me need to take a break LMFAO||

Yojimbo ||is one of my favorite Kurosawa movies. Toshio Mifune’s performance as the captivatingly badass and endlessly entertaining ronin, Kuwabatake Sanjuro, is, in my opinion, the actor’s best. Particularly because the performance (and film itself, for that matter) served as foundation for the Clint Eastwood character archetype seen in Sergio Leone’s, Dollars Trilogy. Anyways, with Kurosawa, I’ve come to expect the meticulous direction and breathtaking cinematography seen here, but it’s the wit and charm of this film, along with an understatedly memorable performance and the amusing scenarios, that bolsters it to being one of my favorites from the legendary director-actor duo.||

Yojimbo ||I couldn’t tell if Unosuke’s gun-toting was meant to be funny or not, but I thought it was hilarious. Which is only a single fraction of the amount of things I found amusing. Hate to use arbitrary buzzwords like this, but there’s just real soul behind this movie. And I think that sense of passion is why it works so well and why it’s aged with grace||

[modern lichen]

Yojimbo ||hes supposed to be stupid and menacing at the same time||

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 2 ||Chapter 30|| ||OK the meeting with Straff and Elend was great, really liked that scene; it felt soooo good to see Straff put in his place using Vin as a threat. And I guess I was partially right in assuming the mists were the Deepness (well, if Vin's theory is correct). Yeah, book 2 is definitely better than book 1 to me now. I'm also curious if Brandon is trying to lead Vin down a path where she will have a lapse in judgement and cheat on Elend with Zane.||

[obsidian basalt]

mistborn book 1 || just got to and remembered this weak ass hoid appearance lol, could've genuinely just been a normal guy and it'd make 0 difference ||

[shrewd sigil]

cosmere ||I think that's intentional for the early books, hoid was the character that you only realized was special when you read more cosmere books and saw him in all of them||

||stormlight being the exception||

[glossy salmon]

i think that passion is seen in all of Kurosawas work, it's sort of proof that behind the ruthless action and flawless cinematography there are just people like us

[raw gate]

Can’t corroborate that sentiment cause, assuming you’re only talking about his role as a director, I’ve still only seen 8 or 9 out of 30+. However, what you’ve said is absolutely applicable to the ones that I’ve seen. I agree with you

Gonna skip over Sanjuro for now to watch other stuff, though.

[white smelt]

You should watch tattooed life

KOTSK E4: ||I kinda feel bad for Maekar. He seems a bit crude, but he's not a bad man, and he's expended a lot of energy on his kids for them to only kinda run off on him (Aerion has textbook 'Targaryen Madness', Aegon ran away, Aemon went to be a maester, and Daeron is a drunk). I was curious to see how he'd be portrayed, but it's rather clear that he's disgusted by Aerion's actions and how cowardly he is to not face Duncan 1v1. But he can't go against his two sons who are in the trial of seven.||

[jolly ruin]

I wonder if the TWOK novel is better adapted as an anime instead of a live action

im the opposite i guess

[sage remnant]

just in minority i suppose

[sage remnant]

opposite

ig

well

I do like || jasnah pov but I don't like her much as a character || Stormlight

while the other is in like my top 5

[spiral quest]

Stormlight ||I like strong willed characters and I like a bit of edge to them. Jasnah is that. Shallan idk, I guess I didn't really connect with her character as much. I can't for sure say why, but I just found myself being more hyped for other characters. Especially early books||

[sage remnant]

Stormlight || Jasnah is more of a Mary Sue for me. Shallan's struggles were more relateable ||

[spiral quest]

WoK||I remember reading a Kaladin chapter and being hyped, like the high storm or his flashbacks or any of that, then getting to a Shallan chapter and being like oh guess we gonna be bored for a while||

[sage remnant]

WoK || I think it's more of Brandon not being able to have equality in quality of the POV chapters, which is smth I find he is bad at in almost every book ||

[spiral quest]

You could be right

[sage remnant]

WoK || Cuz at that point I liked Shallan way more than Kaladin as a character, but I was wanting to skip Shallan chapter to get to Kaladin one ||

It's only in WaT where I think he was able to manage them well

[spiral quest]

I also just WoK ||dont really find myself caring all that much about Shallan's plot line||

[sage remnant]

fair. But like if even someone who cared for that plotline and character more than the other wanted to skip this one

I think there's a writing issue there

[spiral quest]

It could be. And that very well coulda shaped my view on Shallan for the whole series

Idk

[sage remnant]

Stormlight all || I think Shallan gets really strong as a character in mid of WoR ||

[spiral quest]

Stormlight is on the heavy back burner for me rn, Ive no interest in Sando atm

[sage remnant]

I was disappointed by his other Cosmere stuff, but I reread Stormlight last year for preparation of WaT and it's still super great for me

gets the things I want from fantasy right

[spiral quest]

May I ask like what?

[worthy crypt]

wok || shallan acts like a mary sue, like in her dialogue and how she interacts with people, without actually having the competence to back it up. The fact that shes internally unsure doesnt really fix it for me ||

[sage remnant]

|| Mostly how the world really reflects the existence of fantasy elements, with how there are cities and places which would only be possible due to shardplates and highstorms. the Magitech. The anachronistic tech elements which is only possible due to their continuous apocalyptic events and the social structure and magic - like they got instant messaging pen and some super high science concepts before systematic agriculture. || Stormlight all

[sage remnant]

not quite the read I had of the character but in depth discussion would require future spoilers

[worthy crypt]

wok || she comes off to me as very impressed with her own wit and i am less impressed and that delta makes her a little annoying to me ||

|| jasnah was perfect for her cause she was able to remind her that she should be a little less impressed with herself ||

[sage remnant]

continue your read 🙏

[worthy crypt]

yeah im in for the long haul for sure

with how good wok was, a subsequent book would have to be truly atrocious for me to stop

and these are minor complaints i do think wor is good so far

[sage remnant]

WoR is most people's fav, but it was my least fav one

it's still gooood

It just has some parts later on which I really really really dislike lol

[worthy crypt]

i like wok more so far but its not really fair to compare 14 chapters to a full book

[obsidian basalt]

wok clears no need to change your opinion

[brave orbit]

You dont like mistborn?

[brave orbit]

RoW > OB > WoK > WoR

Deal w it

[sage remnant]

I didn't like it much

HoA is at like 0.5/5 for me

[obsidian basalt]

you are almost cooking

[brave orbit]

What about the secret projects

[sage remnant]

I found Tress mediocre

didn't read others

[brave orbit]

Wtf

You didnt read 4??

[obsidian basalt]

it's actually RoW>WoK>WoR>WaT>OB

[sage remnant]

Sunlit Man?

no

[brave orbit]

L

[sage remnant]

who cares man

he's not gonna cook unless it's Stormlight

[obsidian basalt]

sunlit man is so peak

[brave orbit]

Do you know what sunlit man is...

[sage remnant]

|| Sig's story || TSM/Stormlight

[brave orbit]

Yea...

[sage remnant]

|| post Aux's death || TSM/Stormlight

[obsidian basalt]

id probably rank sunlit man either third or fourth on that list honestly

[brave orbit]

I didnt read WaT fully yet but i can already call this ranking a L

[sage remnant]

WaT > OB > TWOK > RoW > WoR

[obsidian basalt]

honestly as long as you acknowledge RoW as the peak of fiction I don't really care

[brave orbit]

Better than WoR already from what it looks like

[sage remnant]

RoW is pretty great

[brave orbit]

Did you read era 2 yet

[sage remnant]

I didn't

[brave orbit]

Era 2 is the only reason i want to read Mistborn...

[sage remnant]

same

but era 1 was so disappointing for me

I lost motivation for 2

[brave orbit]

Well 3 is gonna be in a few years

2028

[obsidian basalt]

could've been stormlight 6 💔

[sage remnant]

yea

instead of Midborn

[brave orbit]

Its planned to be that way

[obsidian basalt]

I am currently reading mistborn and book one was better than I remembered

[sage remnant]

Mistborn book 1 is best on immediate reread

[obsidian basalt]

but I just dropped during book 2 last time so we'll see

[sage remnant]

Book 2 is on Stormlight's level

book 3 is super meh

[obsidian basalt]

highly doubt it unless we're talking midbreaker

[sage remnant]

oh yeah Fed I really liked Secret History

so there's that

[sage remnant]

I mean WoA

[obsidian basalt]

I know

[brave orbit]

Im excited for Era 3 tho

Mistborn era 3 ||Ghostbloods||

🙏

[sage remnant]

I'll have my expectation super low for era 2 and 3

and well nothing's hitting for me nowadays anyway

[brave orbit]

Didnt you dislike scifi

[sage remnant]

??

[brave orbit]

Like fantasy scifi

[sage remnant]

???

[brave orbit]

IDK

Someone did

[obsidian basalt]

I do

but I never said it here

[brave orbit]

Surprised you like RoW that much then

[sage remnant]

I have super specific tastes when magic like power has been in a fantasy world and considerable time passes with it being common knowledge

Stormlight did it pretty well for me

I am not so hopeful for era2

[obsidian basalt]

explaining the magic isn't the problem (although I never really care for it) its the vibe

[brave orbit]

I love the (RoW) ||Tech advancements with the fabrials and stuff||

[obsidian basalt]

that doesn't really register as scifi at all to me really

[sage remnant]

it's on barely works for me territory

which is kinda among the highest fantasy magitech reaches for me

[brave orbit]

Cosmere general / RoW ||the idea is that the cosmere gets more technologically advanced overtime, this was kinda a big step towards that, Mistborn 3 and 4 will basically be full scifi||

[sage remnant]

I did mention not liking Urban fantasy so maybe you conflated that with Scifi?

[brave orbit]

Mayb

[obsidian basalt]

stormlight all || well you're in luck cause seemingly technology is about to get nuked off the earth in the next half as there's no spren||

[obsidian basalt]

that's unfortunate

[sage remnant]

not in luck man

Stormlight all || I WANT magitech. It's just no piece of media does it in a way I am satisfied ||:

[sage remnant]

ehh not reallyy

[brave orbit]

Do you not think RoW did it well

[sage remnant]

I had my issues with it

but It was on the positive side

[brave orbit]

So far i kinda miss that on WaT

[sage remnant]

continue

[brave orbit]

Yea probs will be there

[obsidian basalt]

don't continue actually drop the story

[brave orbit]

I will do that then

[sage remnant]

WaT safe for fed|| rn, it's barely been 1 day since RoW and they are dealing with ramification of "sprens can now actually be killed???" ||

[obsidian basalt]

good

[brave orbit]

||Im on day 2 actually smh|| WaT

[sage remnant]

tag

ig

[obsidian basalt]

bro has a kaladin pfp and more than a year after a stormlight book release he's 45 pages into it

[brave orbit]

220*

[obsidian basalt]

is the plan to finish it in time for book 6

[brave orbit]

Not my fault Brandon publishes faster than i read

I was still reading the secret projects...

[obsidian basalt]

reading secret projects when you could be reading peaklight...

[brave orbit]

Well i didnt end up reading them

Cuz stormlight got published

[sage remnant]

but yeah unsafe for Fed [mf really don't click on it]
Stormlight 6 || I'll be hopeful only if in start Vasher will create Mass production of [that thing] by using Logic spren as a frequency generator to create the rhythm and intent is used to start the fabrial. ||

[brave orbit]

We are gonna have a stormlight tv show by 2030 now...

🥹

[sage remnant]

gonna be the OP LA case

[obsidian basalt]

man idk what you're talking about lol

[brave orbit]

It gonna be good i think

[obsidian basalt]

nah trust it's gonna be good

[sage remnant]

|| Stormlight || stormlight 6

I had to go mega tags cuz like this mf fed can't be trusted with spoilers

[brave orbit]

Im also excited for the mistborn trilogy feature films

I got spoiled a bit anyway sadly

😔

[sage remnant]

so don't spoil yourself more

smh

go read it

[obsidian basalt]

biggest fear currently is the first mistborn movie flops and it kills the entire plan

[sage remnant]

it can be read in a few days

it ain't long

[brave orbit]

WaT ending spoilers ||I know that Kal becomes a Herald and that spren die||

[sage remnant]

rafo

or I'll bribe a mod into muting you for 2 weeks

[obsidian basalt]

🥀

[brave orbit]

Mf reads 200 pages per second

[obsidian basalt]

cosmere stuff || what's the timeline btw at the end of stormlight 5 where are we in mistborn ||

[brave orbit]

||Before Mistborn 3 I think, then Stormlight 6 is after Mistborn 3 || cosmere stuff

[obsidian basalt]

that doesn't make sense

[brave orbit]

Oh wait

||Era 2 is after Stormlight 5|| cosmere general

[obsidian basalt]

do you know which character is the main pov of the last 5 books fed

[brave orbit]

Yea

[spiral quest]

I think the most I can read in a day without being totally burnt out is around 100 pages, unless the book is gripping. Id wager I average 50 pages a day when I have time

[brave orbit]

Characters

Book 9 gonna be goated

[obsidian basalt]

so like you know that stormlight || max like 20 years pass between stormlight half 1 and 2||

[brave orbit]

Yea

[obsidian basalt]

so how are we moving from before an era to after in mistborn

[brave orbit]

Stormlight 6 ||I think its like 10 years||

[brave orbit]

Idk

Cosmere general ||I guess Era 2 is after SA5, Sunlit Man after Era 2, Era 3 is around 70 years after Era 2||

Tho i dont really get how Era 3 is gonna work

[obsidian basalt]

cosmere stuff || I mean youd think that stormlight 10 would be the end of like the main cosmere plotline (that I know nothing about but surely exists) so would be weird if there's a ton after it ||

[brave orbit]

Cosmere stuff ||Mistborn 4 is the end, with Hoid as main character||

||Tho im not sure if thats the same as his series||

[obsidian basalt]

idk if I'm happy about that or not cause I do just not really care about general cosmere stuff

[brave orbit]

||I know Brandon wrote the secret books to practice writing Hoid for (I think) the Yolen series which involves the flashbacks of Adonalsium etc|| cosmere general

Oh yea thats what it was

||The Dragonsteel trilogy focusing on Hoid will be after Stormlight 10|| cosmere

Very excited for that actually

He already published the prime version of that

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 2 ||Chapter early 30s|| || ||

[copper phoenix]

eyebrows raising

[copper phoenix]

the rizzler

[limber urchin]

BTW Mistborn book 2 ||Is just soooooooo much better than book 1. it's like a different author took over or something. like, book 1 is good, but book 2 so far is great. granted, i'm only a little over halfway done.||

[brave orbit]

It was one of his first books so makes sense

He had more time to edit also

[jolly ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-hug-gif-18360220

[brave orbit]

WaT ch 26 ||each POV is so cool in this book, so much tension and variety, Shallan's spy chapter was super tense with Mraize flirting with the balista/crossbow||

[copper phoenix]

you should read elantris to see what his first book look like

[limber urchin]

I've read a little of the beginning. I plan to go back and finish it one day.

[brave orbit]

There will be Elantris sequels, so...

Seems like the plan is:
Stormlight 4.5 novella
Elantris 2 and 3
Mistborn era 3 trilogy
Stormlight 6
Warbreaker 2

[limber urchin]

brandon should ignore everything but the second half of stormlight

[brave orbit]

Well he is not ignoring stormlight

[limber urchin]

i want them all right now

[brave orbit]

He was always planning to have a bigger gap between book 5 and 6

But i think he wants to release them yearly when the time comes

[tawny parcel]

He should just stop writing

[limber urchin]

dude is a machine. i wonder how long he can keep this workaholic lifestyle?

he still teaches too

[brave orbit]

He is learning to delegate some of the stuff he needs to write i think

[limber urchin]

that makes it sound like he's hiring a ghost writer

[frank rivet]

@outer pollen @feral blaze @regal root @spiral quest super excited for this movie

it might actually be good unlike Space Jam 2 😭

[regal root]

That poor goat having to have a fuckboi haircut

[outer pollen]

because it’ll use actual actors and voice acting and not lebron 🤣🤣🤣

[frank rivet]

can't forget Klay

[outer pollen]

the first one wasn’t even good (proceeds to run far far away before i’m gunned down)

[frank rivet]

i have nostalgia bias towards it

Lola unlocked something in me as a youngin for sure 😭

[outer pollen]

you know it brother definitely some of those fetish people would say the same 🤣🤣

[feral blaze]

That’s a low bar to be fair

[feral blaze]

………….

[feral blaze]

I could still understand the good parts from the first one

[outer pollen]

like jordan sonning the monstars? that was a good part for sure

[frank rivet]

Space Jam - || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iv1lbtd9uU ||
|| They predicted Chuck after he got too many donuts in him 😭 ||

[outer pollen]

the monstars with the biggest sell in sports history

[jolly ruin]

Is stormlight archives a completed series?

[brave orbit]

The first arc yea

[foggy mirage]

I need to watch zootopia 2

[worthy crypt]

Has anyone read "There is No Antimemetics Division"?

[sage remnant]

Depends on the book ofc, but I had read entirety of TFE in a day

So that was my highest ig

[sage remnant]

Me and harsha

[worthy crypt]

would you reccomend?

[sage remnant]

It's about this yea

[sage remnant]

I have read the SCP version and I would

Ask @modern lichen for the novel one

[worthy crypt]

oh was it originally a scp story?

it definitely is in a similar lane

[sage remnant]

Let's goooooo

[sage remnant]

Yes

[sage remnant]

Let's goooo

[sage remnant]

Adrian Tchaikovsky has higher output than Brandon btw :kekhands:

~~and more consistent ~~

[sage remnant]

Isaac Stewart and Dan Wells are writing some cosmere books

brings in different styles, different tastes while being cosmere

Dan wells is author of "I am not a serial killer"

[jolly ruin]

TWOK 45 || don’t have much to say BUT YEAH WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE BLOOD 😭 ||

[frank rivet]

tons of homages, it was great

[modern lichen]

Disney has a great track record of this shit already

Rise of the Skywalker ||”somehow Palpatine is back”||

[tawny parcel]

Was it fun

I’ve been meaning to check it out

[near echo]

I liked it, definitely worth watching

Not amazing or anything but a return to form

[copper phoenix]

fr its funny because no one knows that was revealed in fortnite before the movie was even out

if you needed any reason to know star wars is cooked that was the sign

[near echo]

Rescuers Down Under is such a nothing burger

No wonder this is the Renaissance film everyone forgot

There's some great character animation and environment design here that's completely wasted and ended up being recycled for way better films lmao, guess it's fair Disneys digital art tech demo was kinda throwaway

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book2 ||Chapter 45|| ||The Koloss having gold in their pouches was a bit of a letdown, especially after Brandon tried to make it seem like an important reveal - gold was my default assumption anyways, especially after they claimed they were humans (possibly they were before the Ascension; maybe the Lord Ruler cursed them or the Deepness/mists screwed up their biology before his rise to power). And looks like Vin is having doubts and thinking about Zane as an option over his brother; I suspected that would at least get brought up, even if she doesn't go through with it. But one of the funniest plot points I've seen in a while came up last night with Sazed Tindwyl finding missing corner pieces of pages, even in Sazed's locked trunk. I hope Brandon has a good explanation for this one, 'cause it feels dumb as hell since Sazed has that torn passage memorized anyways (unless this is a death flag for him). P.S. Bye Cett, you were introduced in a very dynamic manner, too bad you went out with a whimper (maybe he will do something, however, as some in the group are suspecting). Well, I'm nearing the end, let's see what happens over these next days.||

[sage remnant]

rafo

a multi book rafo on this tho

[limber urchin]

only one more thought right? I don't need to read era 2 to find out?

'Cause I ain't reading that for a long time.

[sage remnant]

yeah only era 1

[limber urchin]

Good, 'cause I plan to dive into book 3 after this one to round out the trilogy. Then it's Salmem's Lot.

[sage remnant]

nice

Salem's Lot good

[limber urchin]

Then proooobably back to Jay Kritoff.

[sage remnant]

how you finding WoA

[limber urchin]

Overall? Loving it. Fantastic book.

Any complaints I have are nothing more than minor nitpicks

[sage remnant]

like

[brave orbit]

@sage remnant WAT CH 32 ENDING ||WTF MRAIZE ASSHOLE ||

[sage remnant]

I can guess but don't want to spoil

[brave orbit]

WAT CH 32 ||He threw the dagger at the perpendicularity ||

[sage remnant]

[brave orbit]

WaT ch 33

[sage remnant]

best character btw

[jolly ruin]

Rename this channel to cosmere-slop

[sage remnant]

true cosmere slop

[worthy crypt]

so theres like a book 2.5 in the series. Is that worth reading? Whats the deal with those theres a couple of the

m

[sage remnant]

novella of interlude characters

which are p amazing

[worthy crypt]

is it like a standalone thing in the world or will it affect the main books

[sage remnant]

affects

its part of the story

the way interludes are

[limber urchin]

Remember, you can be like Buffy and skip everything that's not a mainline book.

[sage remnant]

and use me as personal wiki

so don't do that

Edgedancer is better than 3 mainline stormlight books :

🏃‍♂️

[brave orbit]

Edgedancer is very fun

[brave orbit]

Its p short so i would read it, it's also kinda important for book 3 even if stuff gets summarised anyway

[sage remnant]

Edgedancer is peak

and the enjoyment/catharsis per word count is better than TWOK

[brave orbit]

I finished WaT part 2 and interludes btw

[sage remnant]

good

|| Vin stocks go uppp ||WaT/WoA all

[worthy crypt]

are all of them worth or just particular ones?

[sage remnant]

there are just 2

way of kings
words of radiance
edgedancer
oathbringer
dawnshard
rhythm of war
wind and truth

[brave orbit]

And probably another novella thats gonna get released soon

Between 4 and 5

[sage remnant]

no

between 5 and 6

|| Rock || Stormlight all

[worthy crypt]

does sanderson have an eta for stormlight 6 yet?

[sage remnant]

2032

[worthy crypt]

his schedule/eta is actually pretty reliable

aw thats prtty lame\

[sage remnant]

yea

:(

[worthy crypt]

for releasing it or starting it?

[sage remnant]

release

[worthy crypt]

well at least i do have faith in him he'll actually hit 32

unlike some georges i know....

[brave orbit]

2028-2030 is Mistborn 3 trilogy

[sage remnant]

atleast it's not rothfuss qbz

[brave orbit]

I forgot he existed

[sage remnant]

who fucking MARKETED HIS BOOK SAYING HE HAS COMPLETED THE TRILOGY

and the third book has been in works for a month longer than Winds I think

[worthy crypt]

i guess its not that serious but that almost feels like crossing the line into fraud

[sage remnant]

he did do some fraudery later

he said he would do a reading of a chapter of Doors (third book) at a fundraiser after certain targets or smth

he didn't do that

[limber urchin]

he made his money and dipped?

he only has those two books right?

[sage remnant]

two main books

1 novella

[limber urchin]

i can't even be bothered to read book 2

[sage remnant]

which is better than his two books

[worthy crypt]

i think i might read dark tower after stormlight

[limber urchin]

i thought about dark tower myself

how fantastical is it?

[sage remnant]

uhh progressively gets more

[worthy crypt]

i do wanna get back to malazan eventually it feels like it would benefit from a reread, you could appreciate so much more, more than any other series ive read

[sage remnant]

the slow regard of silent things (kingkiller novella)

such a good premise. such a good story

give me more slice of life fantasy

[limber urchin]

Name of the Wind ||This is the ecentric chick that Kvothe talks to from time-to-time, right? The one with odd mannerisms?||

[sage remnant]

yes

[limber urchin]

that sounds neat actually

[sage remnant]

it is

[obsidian basalt]

i should probably read edgedancer and the other one one day

but i can't bother to

[brave orbit]

The transition between Dawnshard and RoW is very cool

Uhhh

mistborn book 2 || this whole impostor plot line just doens't work with the rules set immediately after introducing it. like it ends immediately if vin dularumins up on one of the mental metals and sees who doesn't react, and even without that literally a one second conversation with any of the allomancers asking them to use their powers ends suspicion of them. like what are we doing ||

And I probably would do the same in her shoes. Im not sure what responsibility she has if any. I guess to use her position for good when she can, which it seems like shes doing for the most part though theres also some petty power moves and forwarding her own personal interest in there ||
