It's so weird that in USA power rangers was so popular but Kamen rider just couldn't catch. I have some figures tho

Kamen Rider was originally a manga

sage remnant
#

not reallyy harsh

#

it's a mixed case

#

it's like Otomo with Akira manga and movie

#

both were done by Ishinomori Shotaro

#

and manga was released as a supplement for the TV show

#

but again with a much truer to Shotaro's vision

modern lichen
#

I’m talking about it in the sense of demographic but yeah that’s true

sage remnant
#

Shotaro worked on it intending it to be a tv show, but had a manga cuz the show couldn't really translate his vision well or smth

I have no idea how a backroom movie is even gonna work

isn't the whole concept about liminal spaces and the fear of unknown rather than having a monster of a villain

Not too much Mistborn book 3 ||Chapter 40s|| ||Ruin has finally confronted Vin and revealed himself while she's trapped beneath Fadrex. And she learned the Lord Ruler left nothing of value down there like she and Elend hoped. However, what he did inscribe in the metal may be Brandon suggesting the Lord Ruler was not wholly evil, at least he theorized that Ruin was driving him to madness. So, this leads me to wonder if all the actions he took in punishing Ska were all his or Ruin wanting him to ruin other humans - Brandon did not describe it so black and white so I think it's a little bit of Ruin and a little bit of the Lord Ruler trying to enact control over the world he set up to ensure Ruin did not destroy everything. So it's possible the voices that Zane and Spook hear are actually Ruin messing with them both, but that's still up for debate in the books since Vin assumed that not every time she heard Reen was actually Ruin. At least we finally have a villain to work against directly now that has a personality and is not merely a force with no motivation.||

similar and different. they are both episodic with overarching storylines and villains, but just the subject matter they tackle and the overall tone is totally different. buffy is said to shine specifically due to dialogue though your mileage may vary, 'cause buffy's style of dialogue would go on to inspire the shitty quippy writing we see today through the MCU and whatnot (but buffy did it well)

Mistborn book 3 ||Chapter 50s|| ||I think by the end, unless it blows me away, i'll give this book a 6/10. Pretty mediocre and uninteresting overall aside from the opening in chapters; and they are given in - you're right - the worst way possible. Aside from Spook, they're kind of the only interesting things about the book. Vin is getting drugged and interrogated, Elend is fighting more Koloss to gather like he did at the beginning. But honestly? I barely care at all. I just want to read Spook chapters.||

Because this channel is full of blind men

#

Who fail to see greatness

limber urchin
#

Mistborn overall is good. Stormlight is great.

limber urchin
# sage remnant I did care more about it than you

Mistborn book 3 ||So far, I find myself caring more about Spook 'cause I'm enjoying this character arc he's going through. Whereas with Elend, although I logically understand why he's behaving like a hardened general, I don't enjoy it. And I think it's because I believe quite of bit of that "hardening" happened off-screen in between books 2 and 3. Vin is fine per usual, but I enjoyed the arc she was going through in book 2 far more, and the whole drugging scene feels a bit forced plot-wise for me. I just feel like Brandon could've come up with something more interesting.||

#

||And Elend getting more Koloss felt like a repeat of earlier in the book even though I know it's being used to further develop his character.||

#

||As for Sazed. It's a mixed bag. He's one of my favorites. But his whole doom and gloom atheist shtick is getting grating. I understand fully why it's happening, I'm just exhuasted by it. ||

tacit basin

Comic haul successLETSBUGGINGGO

sage remnant
#

|| I needed MORE gloom and doom ||

#

limber urchin
#

||Sazed's doom and gloom remind me of teenagers who just discovered atheism for the first time. I would say "and who have their heartbroken by their first girlfriend that they spent 15 minutes with" but that would be super uncharitable given there is waaaay more context concerning him, Tyndwil, and their people's history, her suffering, death, etc.||

sage remnant
#

yea

#

||I think like it's coming that way due to him not writing the doom and gloom that well or not enough ||

#

||Sorry, but this is Spook's story now. I also like his little cute flirty fling he's having right now. not the best, but not terrible either. Spook stays winning.||

#

limber urchin
#

maybe for book 1 and 2. not sure if people will like my book 3 thoughts

obsidian basalt
# sage remnant but like not really true

I mean midborn 3 all || it starts out with him having the awakened allomancer bullshit which feels destined to be a terrible idea, continues with him getting captured for execution for absolutely no reason because he wanted to fight, becomes just instantly doomed when he gets taken over by odium, then he acts horribly for a while and then everything solves itself in a 4 second fight ||

obsidian basalt
#

also like || there's barely even a point, like we spend way too large a chunk of the book with spook for him to have no impact on the main plotline (yes I know technically there's the message but that info could've been established to marsh a thousand different ways||

AKOTSK S1/A Tale of Dunk and Egg + ASOIAF Novels/Game of Thrones S6xE10 MAJOR spoilers: || (THEORY) The line about Dunk and his hand & foot during the discussion with Maekar being pulled almost verbatim from the books tells me that exact same foot is gonna be used to boot in a certain door at Summerhall to rescue Rhaegar who ends up being the biological father of Jon Snow.

Many Targaryens die due to the upcoming Spring Sickness, but Dunk and Egg avoid it because Dorne wasn't affected at all by the plague. Will they cut away to the Targaryens dying, like Valarr? Or are we just gonna hear about it through the common people?||

They kind of lucked out with this show this is one of the most interesting periods of history in westeros. I do want to get occasional updates to whatever maekar is up to though. This show could help fleshen out his reign a bit more. I'm pleased they made it clear he did not mean to kill baelor. Idk why some people theorized that was malicious.||

AKOTSK S1/S2: ||The majority of KOTSK fans do not understand Maekar as a character, so I think it's just because people don't understand what's going on. He is one of the most tragic and complex Targaryens that George has ever put onto paper. They just see how much more harsh and abrasive his personality was in comparison to Baelor, and also saw that he's Aerion/Daeron's dad, and just immediately assume he's a piece of garbage. Maekar was actually probably a top 5 Targaryen King.||

Akotsk s2 and a bit from the novella || I'd say a good 30 years of peace is a good deal. Its just baelor was so loved that it it left a perpetual shadow on maekar. Also people took him staying at summerhall like it was a bad thing. Its clear he had nolove for kingslanding. When it comes down to it maekor is what maegor the cruel would have been if he wasn't a monster. I can't blame the guy for loving his kids even if aerion is a mad monster. He's been a single father for a good while with six kids. I believe people took his irritation and being on edge for most of the show as = He's a bad person. When daeron and egg are missing at that point. Its like you said tho, he's not as eloquent or nice to most folk. I do think the show did a fantastic job with everyone they casted. Before I forget, they even made sure to show how strong maekar was having baelor and lyonel holding him back.||

Mistborn book 3 and all of Stormlight||Part 5 early|| ||Spook's girl got revealed she was actually the allomancer, and so they're trying to get the water flowing again to stop the burning 'cause Spook is realizing this whole ordeal was a bad idea. As for Vin, she's finally realized that, like Rayse and Taravangian in Stormlight, someone (a human) is behind the power of Ruin. Also, RIP to whoever owned Preservation's shard - I assume Vin or Elend will obtain it to defeat Ruin (but then that reminds me of how destructive it would've been had Taravangian and Dalinar collided with their shards at the end of WAT). ||

Mistborn book 3 - complete 7/10 ||While the first 3/4 of the book (outside of the Spook sections) can be categorized as a bit of a slog or boring, the ending thankfully saved it from just being a forgettable 6/10 or worse. Sadly, so much of the good stuff early in the book is not in the book, it's in the epigraphs; so, it feels less natural and more like an exposition dump - in fact, I'm confident these epigraphs are the literal definition of that writing technique. And it hurts the book greatly because all-in-all it's a mountain of information to keep track of to the point it just gets lost in the sauce. It's simply too much, regardless of how interesting it is. As an antagonist, Yomen bored me to tears (but I'm happy to see him kind of do a 180 despite being zealous to the bitter end). Marsh ended up only being slightly interesting, but he was never really a favorite of mine to begin with. While I understood the logic behind Elend's outward behavior as a leader, it didn't sit well with me because I believe that character growth mostly happens off-screen between books 2 and 3 (though some, of course, kiiiind of happens in book 2). Vin was good per usual. But Spook takes the gold for me, his chapters were just a delight to experience as he went through an entire character arc in this book and Brandon made me really care about him for once. All that aside, that leads me to...||

#

||...the ending. HOLY. SHIT. I might've said some mean things about most of the book, but that ending drove the nail home almost perfectly. Vin took my breath away when she essentially became Preservation and just destroyed Kredick Shaw anime style and beat the asses of all 12 Inquisitors with little effort. And she utlimately got to become a god and clash with Ruin directly and finish him off (I assume with Elend's help via burning the atium and possibly diminishing his power? maybe?). But more than anything, Sazed. I never saw that twist coming, and it's a 10/10, and left me in tears watching him utilize all the religions he preached about in books 1 and 2 to reshape everything back to the way it was - fantastic foreshadowing. And in fact there was some great foreshadowing that paid off in the end, such as Vin's earring. P.S. I will assume that in Mistborn era 2 Kelsier, Vin, and Sazed are all worshipped as gods thanks to Demoux and others in the new Kelsier religion.||

#

Mistborn book 1 - 7.5/10
Mistborn book 2 - 8.5/10
Mistborn book 3 - 7/10

Overall, it's a good series, but I don't think I'd use the word great.

BTW, I could've done without Elend losing his head, felt a bit crude - Sazed puts him back together, but that didn't work for me.||

@sage remnant Major question - All of Mistborn era 1 and all of Stormlight ||Why did Ruin and Preservation-Vin clashing at the end not destroy the world? I was told that in Stormlight that when Odium and Cultivation (or was it Honor?) clashed it single-handedly created the Shattered Plains. And at the end of WAT, I'm told that if Taravangian and Dalinar had clashed, it would've killed Taravangian, but also destroyed the world. Is this a retcon by Brandon?||

this is such a werid thing as Brandon only mentioned this name in SBS

#

errr

#

WoB

#

|| I mean i assume its partr of his body like atium is to ruin||

#

mistborn era 1/2

sage remnant
#

errr you are thinking in right lines

#

Mistborn era 1 || "Preservation was weaker than Ruin because when creating humans, Preservation put part of themselves more on human"||

#

or smth

#

|| the beads is the godmetal of preservation || Mistborn era 1

#

|| Like Atium or Raysium ||Stormlight all/Mistborn era 1

limber urchin
sage remnant
#

|| it's from Stormlight ||Stormlight all/MB era 1

#

that terminology

limber urchin
#

ah then that's simply a detail i've forgot

sage remnant
#

yea

#

|| Do you remember the specific metal that Raboniel talked about ?||Stormlgith all

#

|| the one she called "Raysium" ||

#

||it's God metal of the Shard of Odium "Rayse" ||

limber urchin
sage remnant
#

fair

limber urchin
#

OH that reminds me. I do have a critique of Brandon's writing overall

sage remnant
#

Stormlight all || but yeah essentially, Investiture can exist in different forms - say forms of matter ||

#

Stormlight all || like Odium has Voidlight, well of control (liquid), Raysium ||

#

similarly Mistborn all || we have Atium and Mists as solid and gaseous form of investiture ||

sage remnant
#

it's a fair criticism

pale trellis
sage remnant
#

it will have

limber urchin
#

Stormlight all/Mistborn era 1 all ||One critique I have with both series is that Brandon becomes too technical of a writer at times: book 4 of Stormlight and the epigraphs of Mistborn book 3 are prime examples. He likes to almost overcomplicate the mechanisms of how things were created, or how the world might work or something else in the world, maybe even the magic systems themselves. Regardless of how good these books are, my eyes glazed over hard on some sections of Rhythm of War.||

pale trellis
#

shit

limber urchin
#

just to be safe

sage remnant
#

Stormlight all/Mistborn era 1 all || I think it's valid but like I think the books get into too details of mythology as well and for me, the RoW is just more interesting than TWOK ones atp ||

pale trellis
limber urchin
#

goddammit

#

mods, kill him

pale trellis
#

|| its a big criticism ive had of him aswell || mistborn/stormlight

sage remnant
#

Stormlight all/Mistborn era 1 all || Because instead of Lore, I want interesting evolution of worlds using the fantasy elements and magitech ||

limber urchin
#

I'm sure it can be done well, I'm just overwhelmed at how Brandon does it sometimes.

pale trellis
#

|| I don't like the way he uses epigraphs because they are mean't to be read right then and there || mistborn/stormlight

sage remnant
#

💀

limber urchin
#

I do like those mostly

sage remnant
#

sure

#

they are a problem in HoA but like that's the point of epigraph in every book that has had epigraph lol

limber urchin
#

Mistborn era 1 book 3 ||I just don't like the ones in book 3 because it's just fucking dumping lore on me non-stop||

pale trellis
#

yeah

#

i had the same issue

#

to the point i just stopped reading them

sage remnant
#

Mistborn era 1 book 3/Stormlight all || I don't think the two issues are same here.
The Mistborn era 1 issue is just ignoring the basic core of writing for me, while the latter is just getting a bit more technical cuz we had a perspective of a technical person ||

limber urchin
#

Stormlight book 1 did that part right.

pale trellis
#

I agree

limber urchin
#

TWOK ||the payoff was awesome||

sage remnant
#

Stormlight all || well the payoff of RoW was Navani's character arc with Sibling and her becoming a Bondsmith, a new world order where even the immortals and concepts can die, El and Jezrien's conclusion, Raboniel's character conclusion ||

#

sieg we are getting way more into later books spoilers now

pale trellis
#

|| I don't think a reader should know key lore before the characters find out about it, because then it kinda muddies when the characters end up finding out about it || mistborn hoa

sage remnant
#

damn a good Keater take

pale trellis
#

common w from me

sage remnant
#

dude's taste has improved since he started reading books eh...

pale trellis
#

ive dropped manga and anime as medium entirely for the most part

#

outside weekly reads

sage remnant
#

meh dropping the superior medium

pale trellis
#

there are only like 4 series I have my eye on for when I want to come back to it

limber urchin
#

Now, say it with me folks: fuck fantasy, time for Salem's Lot!

pale trellis
#

lol

sage remnant
#

from fantasly slop to kingslop

limber urchin
#

god I hope there is horror in this

pale trellis
#

whats after salem's lot

brave orbit
#

I wish it was more technical

sage remnant
#

eh

limber urchin
#

something nasty and gruesome

sage remnant
#

I wish it was bolder in its imagination

#

than technical

pale trellis
#

ngl King's books hardly interest me

limber urchin
#

also, Stormlight>Mistborn and it's not close

sage remnant
#

true

#

Buffy it's so unreal to me how much people shill the Mistborn ones

limber urchin
#

IT is a great book, one of my favorites

sage remnant
#

also since you finished this series Buffy

pale trellis
#

after reading twok it cleared the entirety of mistborn for me and it wasnt close

limber urchin
#

I think Mistborn era 1 are good books and I recommend them. Stormlight is just noticeably better.

pale trellis
#

i

sage remnant
#

Mistborn era 1/Stormlight all || Demoux was one of the worldhoppers in purelake in TWOK||

pale trellis
#

i'd say the prose got better

#

(although that bar is kinda in the abyss)

sage remnant
#

who cares man

limber urchin
#

wtf

#

that's so cool

sage remnant
#

all of them have meh prose for me

limber urchin
#

Sorry, Empire of the Vampire trilogy is what does it for prose for me.

sage remnant

Meh
