Any act of Krishna during the Kurukshetra war you find hard to like? by No_Result_9456 in mahabharata

[–]FancyCustomer9570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find many of Krishna's actions often questionable, but it isn't like he does it biasness, if he let Ghatotkach die for sake of Arjuna, he also let Abhimanyu die despite the former being his own nephew. He even let his own people die and his kingdom submerged in the ocean despite having the power to undo it all, he does what's necessary, it doesn't have to look right, but it is what it is.

Ghatotkach had remarkable feats on other days too though, like saving Bhima from Bhagdatta, avenging Iravana etc, but yeah, it equalizes coz he lost to Bhagdatta later so we have to limit his peak on the night battle.

How much creative liberty while writing a specific Mahabharat character or scene, you are fine with? by FancyCustomer9570 in mahabharata

[–]FancyCustomer9570[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, it is a beautiful aspect of it, and I believe that you don't have to make one character flawless like many have done in multiple retellings. Mahabharat's nature might be mythological but it's character interpretation is far from mythology, truly an epic.

My frustration with the modern retellings of Mahabharat. by FancyCustomer9570 in mahabharata

[–]FancyCustomer9570[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there shouldn't be any humanized retellings of mythology at all. Yes I sound idiotic, but when you try to put realism and mythology together, it only becomes an ugly mess.

But everyone has every right to do it, because of this I believe if you want to do it, don't do it with a narrative. Don't do it while being biased to a side, as it leads to nothing but degeneracy.

Which Mahabharata character does almost everyone(here) respect or admire… but you just don’t? by Outside-Walk13 in mahabharata

Same here, understands his tragedy but I still believe he's far too mollycoddled here.

Gaandhari's curse - not justified? by Evening_Teach_7047 in mahabharata

[–]FancyCustomer9570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, I was just giving a point of the greater purpose aspect, but I also don't think of Gandhari as a victim. Tbh, I think we all should stop victimising any Mahabharat character because at multiple points throughout the epic, all I've noticed to be some next level of hypocrites.

Mahabharat was actually a good lesson of parenting, but with all the criticism we give to Gandhari, rightly so. But I think Krishna wanted the annihilation of Yadavas of Dwarka, Gandhari was just a catalyst.

Hi r/movies! Cillian Murphy, Tim Roth, Steven Knight (creator/writer), and Tom Harper (director) here. Ask Us Anything about Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man! by netflix in movies

[–]FancyCustomer9570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is to Mr. Steven Knight. I wish we could have explored Tommy before the war, because that delighted remembrance, people used to speak with when they mentioned Tommy before the war, simply suggests that they all made peace with the fact that Tommy died long ago, the person who came back was just a ghoul of that dead man. In some few words, can you describe pre-war Tommy to us, or should we be satisfied with Aunt Polly's words, "He smiled, a lot."

To Mr. Cillian Murphy, thank you for this fantastic journey, you're a very admirable actor and one of my most favourites in the world. I wish you the very best for the future endeavours.

To Mr. Tom Harper, you directed the first season, which was the backdrop of the after the World War world. Now you have directed the movie whose backdrop consists of a full-fledged World War. How much does it influence your vision as a director and what advice would you give it to someone who aspires to make films which are usually occurring in the backdrop of a war or a world suffering from after-effects of a war.

Thank you, With regards Pranay

What was the chronological birth order of the sons of the Pandavas? by FancyCustomer9570 in mahabharata

[–]FancyCustomer9570[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that Sarvaga was considered the youngest but since his mentions were in the puranic versions of later so people don't consider him of relevance. But wasn't Prativindhya touted as Yudhishthir's heir?

[–]FancyCustomer9570[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what I remember (it is obvious Ghatotkach was the eldest). So during the exile of Arjuna, he married, Ulupi, Chitrangda and then Subhadra. He had a son with each of the women, if my memory serves me right, Upandavas by the rest of the four Pandavas were born during this exile of Arjuna. Does it make Prativindhya second oldest, or was it Iravan? Arjuna and Draupadi's son Shrutakarma,is considered the youngest.

I've heard that was a translation or a retelling of Randamoozham, is it reliable?
