They need ppl in charge who actually care bout animation. They have apparently million budget per ep(bet almost all of it is for the VAs)
I dont think more budget will fix the problem, they will prob use it for VAs still

Ah bad robot is cooked
They had clover field sequels and 2 star trek films planned ?

@mild seal i think we got a problem

Yeah watched both new episodes
Next ep is April 15
ah very nice. I think I'll wait til they're all out. I prefer to watch one episode per day
Understandable, hoping some rando doesnt try to spoiler you
But some shows have me waiting for it to be all out too
i only watched last year and all the gifs I ever saw were so out of context it didn't matter. I never got spoiled.
Been following it since s1 dropped
All the damn ups and downs
The Boys ||yeah I got to just watch it casually early last year. great show. love the on-the-nose commentary and how not subtle it is||
The boys latest season general || Apparently its even more on the nose this time round || apparently
The Boys ||The audience isn't getting our heavy-handed hints, make them even heavier.||
anyone wana talk abt anime dm
The boys || Idk what more heavy handedness other than just outright stating the name is left at this point man ||
anyone wana talk abt anime than leme know
We have other series above this channel if you want to talk non op anime
And anime if you just want to talk op anime
Speed will star as Speed in a new anime-style series written by Matt Owens (āOne Pieceā).

Man
just stop doctor who for a while and do it for another gen at this point
this is just sad no matter how much amazing Tenant is and the return wad
I think RTD kinda failed to restart what he had before
Different landscape and unfortunately execs are much stricter
Limited ep count was esp a problem
But it seems he is stepping off
A rly good british writer who was never part of the show seems to be taking over wanting to make it more mature
Idk what to think but a fresh new take would rly help
the mature wouldn't work
Well not like gore
dw works because it's pulpy, it's low budget, it delves with mature themes but on background/beyond the surface
I think War Between struck the right balance tbh
Doctor who || fun Journey of a lifetime with a spaceman and his silly little bluebox, with experiences always chaotic, most of the times life threatening and always life changing
is doctor who at its core ||
Yea but unfortunately the silly part rly doesnt work much anymore bc of the limited ep count
It ends up like a miniseries that ends up getting distracted
well for the focused stuff there's the miniseries that who always did
which a lot of times didn't work but sometimes worked amazingly
Ive enjoyed RTD2 quite a lot bc i love how unique his characters and dialogue are, but i think his endings have missed consistently for the most part
And some individual episodes from individual writers have been top notch
I think maybe an anthology could start to be a better idea for the show
it has always been a anthology
with just plot coming up near the end
it's only moffat who started changing it
Well yea but the plot ending ends up being 1/4 of the season now lol
I would argue that started with S6 and likely S4
S5 wasnt that
doctor who s5 || It focused on crack since the start ||
like the first ep
||and that having effect, minor or major, in every episode ||
Doctor who s5 ||Yea but it was always a weird whimsey element, more similar to Bad Wolf||
doctor who s5 || Bad wolf had been way too much in the background. crack was a meta element to make moffat run separate from rtd by having people forget, and also be the main driving force. Almost every episode is kinda caused by or majorly affected by crack ||
||s4 kinda does similar in the timespan that's present in, but it's way too in the background ||
Dw s7 ||I think the issue started with moffat making it a mystery/important character, RTD (and S5) kept it a background element that would give gravity to the stakes whenever it needed it imo||
dw s7 || I think it was way too much of a driving force in s5 already for it to say background element that gave gravity ||
|| It's either the direct reason for stakes in the moment and for them being there (first ep, weeping angels, etc) or the causing agent but not the driving agent of the episode (the france or rome or w/e vampires one ||
||I guess I just didnt mind that plot as much, it allowed for some interesting ep premises and great moments with Amy forgetting Rory testing their relationship etc. It still serves the characters overall, whereas River was great as a character and was a cool/great scifi twist that ended up being a really good concept with not much depth to the resolution. || DW S7
||Like it ended with the Doctor marrying River, but it's not like River became part of the cast or smth, and tbh the only moments it added a lot was in the Library (S4) and Husbands of River Song (S9)|| DW S9
yeah well that distinction doesn't really work for me in my case here
Idk Im not as negative on Moffat cuz I know he could have done a lot better
At some point he got BBC Sherlock syndrome and he didn't recover till S10
which was || davros || season. dw all
I liked that a lot despite me complaining about the plot
maybe I won't this time round, but with my speed of dw rewatch, a new iteration would start and end before i can catch up lmao
||Personally:
- DW S6 plot, with the Doctor and River being forced to kill him, was an amazing and interesting premise (fantasy scifi whodunnit plot) with a bad ending that kinda made it worse in retrospect
- DW S7, i dont have anything good to say about the overall plot tbh, tho the first half with Amy and Rory was much better (Angels take Manhattan ep is a guilty pleasure, tho I think the ending with Amy was super great)
- DW S8, Danny was eh and I dont like Clara, but I will say the Missy stuff was probably the best Moffat
- DW S9 too much Clara again
- DW S10: no Clara and Bill+Missy+Nardole so 10/10|| DW S5-S10
fair
||Honestly a mini-series that started with the Doctor being killed would be an amazing premise, however it needs to be properly plotted. I think if S6 chose to be fully continuous it would have worked much more. Worldbuilding more, etc|| DW S6
||Imagine a fantasy thriller solely about that, rather than a scifi series of what ends up being asspulls to resolve whatever you started|| DW S6
Would make for a great book tbh

Why are you pinging me
there was a bot
bot spammer glex
Yeah but
What am I supposed to do

Lmao
I also didn't realize you stopped being a mod
i can't trust anyone else, you are the man with the plan
I could yell profanities at them but that's about it
that sounds good enough
The boys season 5 ep1 ||I wish I never saw that post pointing out that in the trailer A-train is only wearing one outfit⦠As soon as Homelander was chasing him I knew it was over||
@sand cypress picked back up last argument of kings around 30% thru|| bayaz is so clearly manipulating Jezal now itās clear heās doing this all in his own interest. I mean there was some of that in the first two books with you just kinda not knowing what his deal is but its so blatant now and Jezal is just so confused with his own position and filled with his own smugness that its like WAKE UP. I sweat that conversation between the two of looking for a princess to marry and the way Bayaz tells him you shouldnāt marry ardee
||
No ping for me...
I didnāt know if you wanted it u said u find discussing them boring

Invincible comics ||I find it kinda funny how show watchers are now realizing how much of an aura merchant Thragg is. Like him being kind of pathetic is the point||
last argument of kings || The chains come off in book 3. All will be revealed soonā¢
||
This guy is such a fraud lol
he gets his opinion swayed every time a new video essay drops
@near echo any crazy animated movies on Netflix you would recommend? Iām going on my daily bike ride and ran out of stuff to watch
Invincible comics and tv show || removing Nolan explanation for why he buried conquest is moronicā¦.||
The boys s5 ep2 ||Why does Ashleyās inner voice sound like it was recorded outside on a $50 gaming headset||

this was such an anime moment ||

need more screaming goats
anyone caught up on High Potential
Ew
Hoping the jokes are not noticeable
The boys s5 e1 ||damn, rip atrain. He died to avoid running over that girl. Poetic end, esp considering him running over robin started all this. ||
||Those last few mins had me on edge.as soon as i saw that girl in the road, i knew it was over for bro š||
I don't even watch any video essay wtf
Why am I catching strays
Also read through that convo man. It was just in relation to the character list you sent...
Man ignoring context
Daredevil and the boys eps for the next weeks, great time to be a superhero tv fan. Invincible too but i havent caught up since s1( prob start watching this week)
thats not very clear when saying tired of people talking about those books instead of those characters lol
im not trying to gotcha thats just how I took it
š
Nah the way I meant it was
That sentence came from that discussion of how the book are popular in general space and I want convo of more books than them
Not I ain't interested in reading your reactions smh...
What's after first law
second law
Bsc or smth else wombat
ermmmm
probably a shorter classic
maybe two
i have catch 22 i have hitchhikers guide i have some shorter stuff
then maybe wind and truth
i do want to get to wind and truth soon
my dad has read wind and truth now so
he went ahead of me
he also listens to audio books...
OB chapter 76 page 3 || ātime to bring you homeā
Oh Dalinar⦠what are you doing?? Bro I feel like I am Evi rn. Just absolutely heart broken. Dreading reading the rest of this chapter ||
Wombat skill issue
Based
every book he reads counts as two books for me
Context
No
Audiobook is actually harder
Need skill to do that
i also have some mid sized stuff like dune like smartest people in the room as well i still have blood meridian not that long but its still sitting on my shelf
Ob chapter 76 page 3 || you want context? Itās the chapter where Dalinar is planning to burn the Rift and everyone in it ||

THEY DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god
Daredevil is the best shwo oat
Og series yeah tho BA s2 looks solid so far and feels like the og series finally
The boys s5 e2 ||I had a feeling they wont bring back soldier boy just to kill him in one ep but that still had me surprised, he gotta pissed af now at homelander. ||
S5 a banger so far
can shows stop coming out pls
there's like a bajillion anime coming out i want to watch rn and now im being bombarded with invincible, the boys, and malcom in the middle
Not rly watching new anime, just catching up on my anime/manga backlog as i barely made progress last year. Gonna try to stay weekly for the boys and DD
Next 2 months are stacked
Spiderman in june
Didn't you dislike The Boys Adam
The boys was fire
i dont think ive said that, but i will say that s4 was probably the worst season
Fr
Top 3 show oat the OG
genuinely not even glaze
@arctic flax Top 3 dd charactrs?
i even watched V or whatever after finishing s4
I think you disliked how heavy handed it was
boys s5 general || Its apparently even more so this time ||
oh i probably did say this
The boys S5 ||I'm excited to hopefully see most characters die ||
the boys s5 ||Let's be real, most of these characters need to die
||
I just need the show to end
well this is the last season so
doesnt this follow comics or something
Extremely widely different from comics
If this show does any more than 1 hour long ep, I am quitting
sunk cost fallacy got me to watch 2 and half hour long fucking episodes of Stranger things
Not gonna go for it this time
im waiting for peoples opinions once the season ends
All hour long episodes
saved me a lot of time with stranger things and many others
Other eps are like hour and 5 mins, standard length
actually 50-55 mins ignoring the credits,recaps
That's okay
I cant possibly imagine going thru that entire trainwreck of a season let alone watch that shit on theathers in new years eve ( @tawny parcel )
Ive genuinely enjoyed all boys seasons, tho i do think 4 is the weakest
good finale tho
Stranger things had fycjinf multiple 1 your 30 minutes episodes and multiple 2 hours eps
like wtf
I liked first half of 4
Didn't like the ending much other than || Kimiko speaking || Boys s4
one day could be years lol, its not my priority atm
i still have stuff ive been wanting to watch from years back that i didnt get to
S4 is legit one of the worst seasons of television I have watched
And I have watched slops like soaps and telenovela
Im picky about the stuff i watch tho the worst shit ive watched was secret invasion, the witcher s1, titans and some of the arrowverse seasons
And got s8
Personally I think GoT s8 is much much more worth it than ST s4
damn, that bad
Some people seem to like it
Got s8 still the gold standard of how to shit all over the bed and ruin everything
I can't believe I wasted over a month in ST
I can only imagine
That would be crazy
Invincible tv || my all powerful genocidal overlord canāt be this cute||
The Boys S5 E1 || they done killed my boy :(, him dodging the girl was peak tho||
Who?
the boys s5 ep2 ||Kimiko speaking is very weird I'm not sure I like it. Also I knew they wouldn't have soldier boy come back only for him to die in the same episode. I think it is weird that Homelander doesn't hear his heartbeat or him getting up when he has super hearing||
Tonight's watch was a bunch of cheap and generic indie analog horror shorts based on Jurassic Park that I still liked more than half the official releases
Situation for this franchise is dire idk why I bothered to catch up with it
Someone should make an anime adaption of Dinosaur Sanctuary so I can fixate on that instead
Man just saw dd ba s2e4, so peak
Feels like a s3 episode in the best way
||Bullseye stole this ep. And damn if he rly killed vanessa, then fisk is about to go beast mode. ||
Some of my favorite mcu fights from this episode
The Boys Spoiler: ||They killed my boy A-Train ||
||The fact that he died because he avoided his major mistake is jst sad||
Fr. Whos ur top 3 characters from this season so far
invincible ||you mean the beard scene? yeah, it was beautiful
||
@noble mist thatās really cool i didnāt know that
about peg playing kureha
i havenāt actually watched the live action yet š«£
A lot of the MWC cast wound up voice acting, with the son wounding as Mako for Legend Of Korra

Donāt worry, no spoilers ^_^
very interesting
just know that Kateyās aged phenominally!
do you happen to know what jay did in between mwc and modfam
or sorry
ed o neil
did he also voice act in anything
i could just look it up really
I think heās had special appearances in stuff? Like a movie in the 90s and that one time he appeared in 8 Simple Rules
Finding Dory
Heās the septopus
And Wreck-it Ralph!
The arcade owner
ohhhhhhhhhh
you know thatās the weirdest thing, you watch all these movies and if the face isnāt there it just slips right through the cracks
He was also in the Wayneās World movies!
Imagine my shock when I found out David Harbourās had sooooo many roles before Stranger Things
me too!!
And Giancarlo Espacito? Heās been doing roles since the 80s!
yes!!
what are we talking about chat
And Bryan Cranston? Dude used to dub anime!!
actors who, were more famous than we thought, before we knew them
idk if that explains it right
iām jus gonna see myself out
yāall have fun tho
one of my favorite games ever is batman arkham knight, and i played it before i watched breaking bad, then when i watched it i obviously figured out who bryan cranston was, then i went back to play arkham knight again and my jaw dropped because i immediately recognized the voice
he voices jim gordon
he was right under my nose the whole time
NO SHIT WAIT
i meant jonathan banks
not bryan cranston
jonathan banks does mike and jim gordon
funnily enough though bryan cranston did voice jim gordon in a different batman project
late to the party, but kpop demon hunters is way better than I thought it would be

Nevernight, late ||Mia just turned down being a Blade. I was very impressed with her thinking 5 steps ahead and poisoning that dude that was always with Jessamine. And to this day I still think Ashlinne killed Carlotta to try and frame Jessamine. Also, man, this school is borderline stupid lol. I'm pretty sure you could poke holes in their logic from all angles hahaha. Overall I think the book is like 7 or 7.5. Not the greatest, but not a bad book either. ||

Lighthouse above Sicario, interesting.
lol I really liked this movie
LAoK|| was Quai justā¦pointless? He hasnāt been mentioned at all and he never did anythingā¦||
I didnt understand lighthouse. Maybe im just a simpleton.
Sicario was an alright movie in all honesty--fell kind of flat after the bordercrossing
that's fair, Iv watched so much stuff like sicario that it didn't shock me as much

boys s5 e1/e2 ||Much better start to this season than the last one. Kind of expected him to survive the virus because he didn't seem to be having as bad a time as rock hard and the other dude.

Nevernight late ||I fucking knew Ashlin killed Carlotta, but I had no idea it would be for the reason she did, and that it was all revenge for her father and they were planning to kill and capture everyone in the Church.

Is it worth watching
Last argument of kings like 70% of the way ||dude what the fuck is going on so much is going on like hooooly hell||
you are breezing through it holy
If you fw star wars then hell yeah
I really considered going to the movie if it came out near me but then I remembered this
These are so cute did you make these
what movie is that yc
Dhurandhar 2 was a banger
I think it went on for too long
it's still a good movie, but nowhere as good as dhurandhar 1
Dhurandhar 2 || tho I do have a set of problems with some of the rushed scenes basically not a big fan of the whole hamzas cover being blown so easily and the bgms were decent they peaked in some certain scenes tho especially during iqbal vs hamza RAHHHHH THAT WAS SO GOOD also aalams death and hamzas backstory was really well done and they do overshadow the other minor things for me ||
|| I also really loved the plot twist of jameel being a spy
||
yeah that last one was great
I started clapping during that scene lmfao
2 was better imo
in what way?
Overall?
Dhurandhar 1 and 2 || The action scenes go on for way too long in every time. Not much characterization is added. The story is less twisty and turny. There's some emotional catharsis at times but that's about it ||
Dhurandhar 1 and 2 || The bathroom scene of hamza's friend realizing it, sanjay dutt's character dying and the ending part are the only really noteworthy events in a 4 hour long movie ||
|| when the first movie has way more to offer in half the length ||
šš
It was also 3½hours
In the sense of interesting twists or build of suspense
that's long af movie!
that's the third longest movie I have watched
and it has least story than any of them š
Didnt feel long but
the action scenes go way too long
that's the core issue
a good half hour or so could be removed without any issue
Like?
every action scenes
1 was really great
|| like the iqbal fight. It goes way too long || dhurandhar 2
And 2 was even better
even the minor stuffs were really well put
1 was a 5/5.
2 at best is 4/5
unlike in 2nd
It wasnt that longš¤·āāļø

Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL ||I didn't care too much about Jasnah (never really cared about her tbh, she's always been my least favorite out of everybody) but I can get the criticism. I feel like Fen and that whole debate could've been adjusted a bit. I don't know how to feel about Dalinar and Taravangian tbh. That was simultaneously annoying and satisfying to get through. I think it was the sporadic pacing and changing of POVs. If you were to cut certain parts out or rather, piece a few together, I betcha people would have less issues. I think everyone kinda forgot that this was the middle book...? I wasn't the only one who predicted that Taravangian would kinda win and I thought everybody understood that because there were always gonna be 5 more books but like, even then, he lost so I don't get the issue.||
Like
hmm?
Am I crazy or did ||everyone else get immensely satisfying arcs? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here because I'm looking at videos and comments of people pointing out things that are just... incorrect? Especially with things revolving around Kal and Szeth.|| Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL
yes
you are not crazy
this is like people hating EL when it was ongoing
and latter fans calling it best in the series
Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL ||Renarin and Rlain was fun to watch, I like how they learned to work together and free Mishram. I had fun with the visions (I've always liked these developments) through watching and learning about Honor and the Heralds. I think Ishar and Nale being saved is sweet and really works to serve Kaladin and Szeth as people and I actually love that they renounced their oaths or rather, some of them got over their issues. Like Shallan and Adolin are stronger and better people after everything and their chapters were fun (and usually, always are).||
I think the pacing is genuinely the only issue
for me I have some structural issues in last two parts
but pacing wise, it's the best in the series imo
best after part 1-4 of WoR
Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL ||I would probably bring Venli's POV more into the mix and then put Sigzil in more. I'm not too crazy about Moash still not dying but I didn't expect that to happen yet anyways. I like how Mraize and Abidi went out though.||
is this time for me to throw in an essay
||cuz I really really like the direction with Moash || stormlight 5
and climbed up to my top 6 characters
Yeah I can't say I enjoy the ||constant POV swaps every two or so paragraphs, especially near the end.|| Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL
I really liked that
it was like
it was dispersed enough
and had even moments
Stormlight all
@shadow sequoia
from an old discussion
Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL ||Moash is my favorite Cosmere villain so I get it. I think it's mainly because the stakes are so scary with him. Being able to negate powers and kill spren is crazywork.||
rather than powers, I really like the character arc
Same
Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL ||He just gets scarier and I really want to see where he goes juxtaposed to Kaladin and everyone else.||
Plus I think I am slightly biased in my WaT rating cuz || Szeth was my fav character since book 1 ||
his arc is already dispersed
Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL ||I had a feeling Brandon would subvert and not straight up do Kaladin VS Moash as the contest of champions but I like how he spun that on its head.||
Really?
ye
That's such a surprising pick but I get it
oh boy
you should hear my full top list
WaT
||
Szeth
Dalinar
Lift
Todium
Shallan
Moash
Kaladin
Tanavast
Raboniel
Teft ||
Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL ||I think this book definitely cemented how I feel about Kaladin and Adolin and I actually think I like Adolin more and he is probably my favorite across the entire series but goddamn, I love Kaladin's arc throughout all five books.||
Is that in order
yes
That's pretty wild lol
I think they are all valid
WaT ||I have nothing against her, I find her pretty funny at times but she'd be lower than that for me||
WaT || Szeth is one where his characterization in book 1 and 2 is very subtle, and hence his choices are just amazing ||
|| Dalinar should be an easy pick ||
||todium whole of WaT interludes does the job ||
|| Moash I wrote above||
yeah only || Lift || should be a bit surprising
Yeah, your list is fine
WaT || for lift, it's how effective and economic is his job at characterizatiion of her ||
WaT || Her juxtaposition of not wanting to grow up, with her trying to do the opposite, and how she is effective at understanding people others never give much of a chance - Gavinor, Dalinar at some point, hugging Nale. Her stuff with her mom ||
WaT || Every scene of her is rich in her characterization, and it's not on your face like it's for Shallan or Kaladin or Dalinar ||
WaT || it's like same as Teft in TWOK ||
|| reread Teft stuff in twok after OB, every convo of his with Kaladin hurts man ||
WaT || His just cry when Kaladin starts to heal and he gives more stormlight while shouting at himself "Why did you ever listen" ||
||so painful man ||
oh there's another of my WaT writeup you should check out
god I was talking in multiple discord and places when this book was out
only important part is the last paragraph
BTW Goro I've seen your chats in the 17th Shard discord lol
I think mine would go something like this for top 10 characters in all of Stormlight 1 - 5 ALL (Spoilers for the whole series):
||1. Adolin - Highborn attitude? No powers? No Radiant? Just a good guy with a sword relying on his indomitable human spirit and just being a genuinely good person and constantly beating overwhelming odds? Bro... this character is the character I want to see in fiction everywhere LMFAO. Absolute favorite of the series and he speaks to my heart and won me over throughout the entire series.||
||2. Shallan - This girl... my goodness. She has got one fucked up life but for as much as she sobs, the more I get impressed with how wild the twists and schemes get. Don't get me wrong, not every insane plot point revolving her lands but a lot of them land HARD and it's always leaving my mouth agape.||
||3. Kaladin - I mean, what can I say? One of the most fantastic characters ever written. Incredibly inspiring and fun as hell to read. I am excited to see where he goes next because the dude just doesn't have a ceiling.||
||4. Dalinar - All of Oathbringer is the main reason but I liked his visions since hte beginning. The whole Evi/Rift reveal was crazy and I'm happy that assuming he is gone gone, that he has seemingly won the war against Retribution in the long run.||
||5. Moash - Very satisfying to go from a bully to a friend to a brother to a traitor to a menace. This guy is a motherfucking problem. It's different with him though because everything gets so tense when he's onscreen, absolutely cemented himself as the hateable piece of shit he is way back when he killed Elhokar.||
||6. Szeth - I wasn't actually too fond of him in the first book other than as a threat but started to really see him shine in the second and third books. Love how he evolves and all that we learned about him in this one. It felt like he was supposed to be the main character to the series tbh lol.||
||7. Mraize - This guy was just endlessly fascinating and fun to read. I love how he treats Shallan and I love the dynamic they have with their little games throughout each of the books. I thought the fight was so nice and conclusive to his character.||
||8. Bridge Four Boys (Rock, Teft, and Lopen are my favs but I'm just gonna reserve this spot for them) - Hilarious to be around and the way they're written you can't help but love and care so much for them when they fail/fall/succeed.||
||9. Taravangian - Bro is the definition of "locked in." I love how evil he is and how dedicated he is to using hate, passion, and contracts to enforce a peace, albeit, sacrificing everyone (and even then, he lies).||
||10. Sadeas - I am a massive sucker for conniving fucks like this guy, so naturally he's gotta have a place here.||
Ah, you know what
Maybe you can correct me on this
Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL ||One thing I didn't appreciate was Dalinar dying offscreen and Navani being in a coma (I don't think I remembered why)||
oh I am Mr. hot takes
Stormlight 5: Wind and Truth ALL ||I see a lot of people complaining over the prose about this book... interesting. I feel like that has never been an issue or taken me out and I feel like 90% of it comes from Wit.||
Right?
like if you are 4 books in, and you want him to improve prose
I feel like that is such a funny issue to have... 5 books in
yeah read another author
Yeah LOL
But it's also still good?
and asking in return of the king
I don't get it
"Where's my hard magic system"
read what I forwarded above
Ooooh interesting
Oh, btw, finished Nevernight ||I quite enjoyed the ending. Still, feel like the book is a 7.5. Onto book 2.||
noice
enjoy
OB 107 || elhokar's death and him being a radiant
|| @sage remnant
which chapter are you at
i am at 107 rn || Dalinar discovered he needs to defend Thaylenah city instead of Vedenar ||
ah
OB 107 || so that scene didn't have impact ? ||
OB 107 || I think despite knowing that he dies, him speaking the oaths would feel like he would atleast be a radiant and then die ||
|| it did, but i am sure it would have hit harder if i wasnt spoiled, which is sad because i started to like elhokar, crazy cause i fucking hated him in TWOK||
fair
I loved that bit it's like 70% of my ob review talking about it
OB 107 || kaladin freezing did hit tho||
oh you finished OB?
what did you think of it
or did we talk about it and I forgot
Idk. Idts. Best one on balance
personally the only not "great" part of it was OB part 4
|| Shadesmar portion pacing felt pretty off ||
and idk how much of it was it actually being bad or me reading 2-3 pages a day
Ob all || the mid book climax raiding the castle is so good it coulda been a climax of another book. I think part 4 only suffers because the climax of part 3 was so good. And we need to step down for a second to have distance to climb up to a new act 5 climax peak ||
What is specifically in part 2
||bridge 4 povs ||
It's been a bit I read 3 small books after now I'm almost done dawnshard
|| almost all of the bridge 4 pov made me cry || ob p2
Ob || I definitely appreciated bridge 4 without kaladin, teft stuff is real good. But the whole sequence of like infiltrating the city, gaining information about the weird mysterious darkness over everything, recruiting good people, and raiding the castle is some of the best shit in stormlight for me ||
yeah I am more of a character reader so the earlier portion hit harder for me
Ob || I love the angle of somethings a little bit off and it gets worse as we dig into it. Like the cult of the revel is right up my alley ||
Yeah I liked that as well
OB || Just the Rock's part of meeting his family, Sigzil and Kal's interaction, Moash character arc reflecting Kal's which is in a way combination of cathartic and scary due to how it's progressing, Skar's getting to breathe stormlight after accepting he could do with just teaching them even if he could never be one, cuz they are bridge 4 ||
those hit hard for me
Ob || yeah it was probably the most consistently good across all threads for me. Individual threads in other books might be better but as a whole I think this one is best so far ||
I think all of OB parts except 4 are like almost as good as each other
just p5 and p2 are tad bit higher for me
qb did I share lamaery's fancomic
of OB?
Ob 107 || will hoid ever be explained, bro is such a mystery ||
in 2039
Ob p5 || the p5 climax is a bit too frantic for audiobook I had to listen to it twice but i appreciated it a lot on the second go ||
Nah haven't seen that

|| Oathbringer
@worthy crypt
well he'll get his own series
trilogy telling his story is the ending of cosmere
also what did you think of || The sort of full circle that Oathbringer goes into || oathbringer end
|| "A debt repaid" of rock to dalinar, and others || oathbringer end
ob end || Terravangion is probably my favorite i did like that scene. Its tragic his condition kinda puts him in this position where hes unable to act on his good idea and maybe even could deal with the devil on his best day but the devil knows better than to negotitate on his best day. Shallan multiple personality thing i did find a little bit tedious. I dunno what specifically I would change cause there were some good moments like when all three aspects of herself work together in the final battle but i dunno i found myself rolling my eyes a bit sometimes at her stuff ||
OB end || I liked it. I don't think it really gets bad ||
just in a latter book due to other events a super impactful moment gets its impact robbed for me quite a bit
you are planning to try something else after DS right?
I have something to rec
i been reading a series called bobiverse inbetween. but maybe i can check it out after
Way Station by Clifford D Simak
that's a name I haven't heard in a long while
It's scifi and honestly after reading it
I don't think I am gonna enjoy any scifi in a while
its not like masterful art or anything it is very entertaining. its aligns pretty well with stuff i enjoy like exploration, task/resource management. It kinda feels like the novelization of playing a game of stellaris/factorio
ill throw it on the list for when im done stormlight
im gonna go dawnshard > bob3 > row > bob4 > wat > bob5
nice enjoy
I think those sort of low effort fun scifi get boring after a while
DCC, Bobiverse
I think those are better as older era TV shows
than books
yeah but i think thats a good thing to put inbetween serious business megastories like stormlight
its a nice contrast
i have all the death series discworld books i wanna get to eventually. i read mort like 3 years ago but didnt continue on for whatever reason i dont remember
Anne Hathaway on Letterboxd now
damn nice
Pretty good top four. Mirror is a great choice
she was talking about creating one in her letterboxd top 4
their youtube channel does a short of asking top 4
you should check that
Nice. Iāll take a look
to like movie stars, directors, cinematographers, sometimes f1 racer, nba players, nfl players
THe Boys S5E2 || Soldier boys alive... the virus sucks.. Starlight's gonna be pissed.. they're so fucked ||
Yeah like we have all been saying
finally had some free time to go see it
PHM?
ye
you should def go see it at the CINEMA
imax especially if you find available times
Can confirm
I kinda wanna watch that new mummy movie
Is a young and hot Brendan Fraiser or Rachel Weisz in it?
Well, now you're speaking my changluage.
I'd wager that Family Guy has the most normal fans, probably just kinda ambiently enjoy the show, every now and then they comment on youtube video with like "I love when Brian and Stewie are friends <3"
Family Guy fans love to wax philosophical on YouTube comments.
āYou know, I aspire to be like Peter. Humble, unassuming, salt of the earth. Really makes him grounded in the rat race of life.ā
āchaosblade8736
Ob 115 || Urithiru is under fucking attack!! Itās that bitch radiant the one with Taravangisn, she BTRAYED THEM DIDNT SHE??||
Also @sand cypress @sage remnant last argument of kings ||I fucking knew quai had turned weird but I wasnt expecting murder but it makes sense he was kinda the timid one I lowkey claled it tho||
this book is creazy
gonna try to finish it by tomorrow maybe
last argument of kings|| they still need to explain why The Seed was in the house of the maker tho...||
!animo
Next episode comes out on <t:1776009600:F> <t:1776009600:R> (time zone adjusted)
Ob 117 || āWell starve meā, Lift said, āSheās more awesome than I amā bro I love lift š ||
Commenters must know
lmfaoo
Lol
lmao even
Every show which was said to have terrible ending would end up in a list of shows with great ending only 10 years latet
I never watched after the s4 ending which was supposed to be the series finale
S5*
I watched till the end
I'm sorry
I really need to learn to quit things man
I'm cursed to like shows that end up getting cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons
Glex be like
Ngl they kinda right
have you seen a lav diaz film before?
it's a very him film
i liked it a lot
i didnt see it and i wouldnt like it
it's the opposite of what i like
Wow you hate OP now? š
He's like the 2 doors from the labyrinth movie
@foggy mirage
@sage remnant deleting cause of the last line
Ah
I think its just gonna be copium stuff but yeah better safe
TWOW actually releasing in 2026-2027 would be nuts
What did you just say ?
Check deleted logs lisa
just dont read the last sentence if you dont want spoiilers @foggy mirage
And yeah what Red said too
Tldr a 4chan post says it's been sent to publishers or smth
And it will come out in 2026/2027
and apparently the length is of last 2 books combined
š
Which would make sense with what he had once said I guess
This might make up for the bs a little
š
Bro the internet is gonna be a mine field
When that book drops
Can they even bind that huge book š
TOR had to create new mechanism to bind one of Sanderson's book
and this is longer than that
They gonna to do some binding in a readable way
Oh yeah this existed
Gone reduced to atoms
so ig they can do it
paper is extremely thin though
Legit might blast some bullshit music
When i buy this in person
So I heard nobody talking the entire time
I'm at the store
smart
If its real I'll give the series another try...
I remember seeing a video of someone spoiling Harry Potter || dumbledore dying||. Just driving by either the movie theater or book store (idr) and screaming it out the window at people in line
Legit happened a good couple of times
I legit would explode
If that happened to me
š
Releasing book on release day has always been a fun experience.
House of Hades, Wind and Truth
Ig only those two 
Legit gonna have to hold a reading council here
If it happens
Legit might read 300 pages in a day
Might have to if its real
Christ that joke can die
Then we can bother him about a dream of spring

thread would be good
I think basic thing would be spoiler stuff by page number
yup 100%
doesnt kindle have the same page numbers
No
Damn you're right
then chapter ig
Imagine Doors of Stone and Winds of Winter on a same year
(both fans have been waiting for same number of years)
Book stores are gonna be a royal rumble
king Killer chronicles is wilder cuz the author marketed the series as "The trilogy is already completed"
and 3rd book hasn't been released since 2011
Literally doing this to get to the store
At least grrm didn't make such promises lmao
Thats actually crazy
And it took him this long ?
Why would he say that ?
š
Idk maybe made enough bag
July 23
Or refused to accept that he made book 2 || Super harem and didn't move the plot || and it needs to be longer than trilogy. [King Killer Chronicles]
Rothfuss most likely is rewriting the entirety of the third book or scrapped it
Just just do like 2 trilogy atp
Because some writers are perfectionists
"You getting that buck in 20 years buddy"
Rothfuss' prose is like super "Multiple meaning" sorta thing
like his prose or hate it
idk if layered would be a good word here
Ah ok that makes more sense then
Me for the next few months
Sub textual
Hmmmm
Not quite what I was looking for but works
Yeah that
So it makes sense but I think main reason is he can't finish it in one book.
What's more scummy is he got people to donate to a charity saying he would do a reading of a chapter
No chapter yet
Legit that post gave me life
Gonna be good year for fantasy fans if it happens
Cuz we just got a new Glen Cook book
Are getting a new Clive Barker book
a new Malazan series started
Clive is writing ?
Yeah
we are getting I think 2 books soin
Wait 4 books
abarat 4 and 5, and two standalones
Mistborn and Cosmere adaptation
dark tower adaptation
Cuz the vibes feel right this time round
or smrh
Ig

Clive writing is always good news
So thats nice to hear
this seems like the most obvious troll shit to me
Delete cuz od last line
wair
i edited that out
Is there some show releasing late 26 early 27?
Of asoiaf
Maybe hbo wants to time it with thay
hotd is releasing in june
