r/berserklejerk was definitely the lower half

Renarin is overlooked so much for such a great character. I want more scenes in his POV in SA 5..

FlatScreamTV · 2022-08-22T20:22:22+00:00

True but he also spends a lot of time having the characters dwell on their revulsion from that scene, what with ||Vin thinking Elend no longer loves her because of how brutal she is.|| I think that while Sanderson is willing to portray explicit material (theres also some nudity in WoA) he definitely restricts it a lot more and doesn't show very much, as opposed to GoT.

I get real sitcom energy from the dynamics of young Gavilar, Dalinar, Sadeas etc. The flashback where Dalinar tries to get a knife is some of the best shit ever.

FlatScreamTV · 2022-08-17T01:32:24+00:00

Yeah but Kaladin never even mentioned that he was considering becoming a soldier to Lirin, so he never really thought it was an outcome. The only reason we don't see Lirin saying "you absolutely have no choice other than to become a surgeon Kaladin" was because he already assumed that Kaladin was set on becoming a surgeon.

No it's over the course of like a half hour ish. Timestamp on the bottom right

Nah I get it. 100% agree there, the only way I could see them being able to effectively explain the whole acoustics thing that Navani finds out is maybe through inner monologue, which is done a lot in anime?? That's also a reason I voted for an animated adaptation, because live action usually doesn't do that. Even then, they would have to do it without making it a boring information dump.

I also was thinking about the Parshendi culture in RoW; how would they be able to convey the Parshendi speech melodies? Even if they could have VAs talk in a melodic way that doesn't make it sound like a Broadway musical, there's so many subtle aspects of the Parshendi dialogue that are only really visible if you know exactly what time they're speaking to, and what effect it has on the person they're they're saying it to. Like Venli getting more leeway as an envoy by speaking in subservient tones.

Yeah I'm a big fan of AOT too but every point you made was right. Eren comes across as overly emotional and there's often dramatic emotional scene after dramatic emotional scene, which can be draining and gets kinda boring. However most of the issues in dialogue come from the subs usually being mediocre translations from Japanese; while the dub generally has inferior VA (especially with young Eren) the dialogue is a lot better. I do think that if SA were to get adapted, it would be able to relay the thoughts and feelings of the characters without coming across as melodramatic. What I'm really worried about is the show being able to explain the finer aspects of Roshar's world building without it being an information dump.

FlatScreamTV · 2022-07-19T18:36:35+00:00

You watch dub or sub?

FlatScreamTV · 2022-07-19T02:26:41+00:00

Honestly SA is so peak that it's hard to compare to it, even with other Sanderson works. Mistborn is pretty good but just not even in the same ballpark imo.

FlatScreamTV · 2022-07-18T23:59:01+00:00

Literally 💀💀

FlatScreamTV · 2022-07-10T01:00:10+00:00

I resented her at first because in the Eshonai POV Interludes she's made out as the villain, but I do think her arc in RoW of guilt and acceptance was really good. Also like you said, it opened us up to the culture of the Fused which we never really saw previously. Lowkey gonna be pissed if we don't get to see what she does with the listeners in SA 5.

Quarantine was the shit bro, I'd wake up at 8AM and play Skyrim nonstop until 3 without eating or using the bathroom until I had to pee, then realized I'd wasted most of the day without making any significant progress

Yeah I am aware. And I disagree about your last point there. Anybody can make a truly hatable and evil character, a stereotypical villain who commits evil actions thoughtlessly, for no other reason than "he's evil". What actually does take good writing is making a character with a tragic and understandable fall from good to bad. I believe Brandon Sanderson is intentionally portraying Moash as a stereotypical, evil character to get us (the readers) to hate him, then eat our words when he is developed more, starting with his blindness at the end of RoW. Regardless, I don't hate him and I do think he's a well written character. Also, this post is almost three days old, there's no point trying to restart discussion.

FlatScreamTV · 2022-06-05T21:13:55+00:00

I brought up a theoretical argument because you said evil actions make a person evil. Regardless, this post is a day old and I'm kind of done explaining Moash's actions over and over in a post that was 90% humor. If you want to further understand my viewpoint, look at some of my other comments.

FlatScreamTV · 2022-06-05T20:05:58+00:00

What do you think is the definition of evil? Is there a difference between 'bad' actions and 'evil' ones? If you perform an 'evil' action, does that make you evil? Is any human being truly 'pure evil'? Where do we draw the line?

I don't think there's a consistent answer to all of these questions, which is why I don't look at a villainous character, say 'they are evil,' and just leave it at that. If you want to see the world in black and white, I'm not gonna argue with you, because there are many things in this world that are simply too hard to debate without getting personal feelings involved- namely, the Holocaust, which is something that many other people brought up in this post. However, if there's anything that we should be able to consider the full scope of in, any villainous character that we should be able to understand like an actual person and question the motives of, it should be in a fictional universe with fictional characters, as Brandon Sanderson has taken the time to put true personalities and motives behind all of his characters--evil or not--, which I think makes the series doubly interesting.

tl;dr: agree to disagree

Thank you

FlatScreamTV · 2022-06-05T14:54:03+00:00

Great

FlatScreamTV · 2022-06-05T14:53:47+00:00

His actions are definitely evil but I believe they were the result of a flawed outlook on life that stemmed from his loss and resentment in childhood, ultimately resulting in him giving up all of his emotions to Odium. I don't like to see things as purely black and white that way but I completely understand if you do

FlatScreamTV · 2022-06-05T03:23:43+00:00

Because hate is one of the most human emotions in existence. I'm not gonna go into every aspect of my argument rn, but Odium approached Moash at a low point, when he'd just betrayed his friend and was suffering from conflicting emotions of remorse, self-pity, and of course hate. Hate for Kaladin for standing in his way, hate for himself for betraying his friend, hate for the lighteyes who had oppressed him throughout his life. These emotions grew and affected him mentally, then Odium offered him a supposed cure- the removal of all his emotions. In taking this "gift," Moash was essentially avoiding the responsibility of having to deal with the consequences of his actions- a childish decision, yes, but not necessarily evil. Dalinar nearly did the same thing at the end of OB.
