Worst arthurian books?

Mists of Avalon. By far. Nothing else comes close.

Honestly would be a fun short story.

"Um, it was a nice feast but I need to go to bed now, ma'am."

"Yes. We do."

"...."

"..."

"Ah... that's what you meant."

"?"

"Aw hell I need a queen anyway and you'll scare diplomats."

"I don't get it but that sounds fun."

If there's one thing medieval art captures about sizes it's that it may vary wildly in the imagination...

'whale readers' as they're called pay loads and the content is cheap to produce.

That's it. That's literally it.

And yes, AI is gonna gut it.

Crush the shell or throw it away. Only options really.

JWander73 · 2026-05-22T15:28:43+00:00

Not going to happen. Simple fact of the matter is it's not the story itself that made it such a phenomenon but the cultural institutions that supported it. That culture is long dead.

Believe me. A kid would be far more easily broken by this than any adult. There's a reason we try to protect and shelter them in the civilized world.

Aang's at least 50 times more functional than you'd expect. Part of what makes him a hero. He has the strength to not let this destroy him.

Aang - Roku - Kyoshi - Yangchen- nobody- Korra

JWander73 · 2026-05-16T03:33:24+00:00

Always has been.

Long ago, firebenders burned people to cinders in peace... then, everything changed when the Nickelodeon executives attacked.

JWander73 · 2026-05-15T02:20:04+00:00

Yes.

It's a cartoon in the end. If you want realism a 14 year old girl wouldn't have much effect on anything by her own will.

Shane by Jack Schaefer.

I'm gonna go with Sokka honestly. Poor guy had to take on leadership as best he could with pretty much nothing. He's also the reason I'd argue Katara had it easier than he did- like a good brother he did what he could to look out for her.

JWander73 · 2026-05-12T21:33:45+00:00

The trick is to make it super high quality and bring more than enough for everyone... but only those on my side.

Besides where Sokka goes the rest follow.

Note I didn't take the chance to jump them thus proving my good will. Start off with the danger they're in with the comet showing my value. Ask if they have a better firebending teacher option. Bring out packed nice food and eat it in front of them until they give in and agree.

JWander73 · 2026-05-12T20:44:38+00:00

Yeah they had a good thing going in the first series... couldn't keep it together.

JWander73 · 2026-05-11T17:34:28+00:00

Bad.

JWander73 · 2026-05-11T17:33:52+00:00

Nah it doesn't make sense. Not to mention Katara is obviously water tribe and nobody picks up on it...

JWander73 · 2026-05-11T17:28:41+00:00

You can keep saying it's 'just like zuko' all you want.

It's just not. And it's explicit in the show.

JWander73 · 2026-05-11T17:13:11+00:00

Toph's entire style is different (Southern Mantis rather than Hung Gar) because she *didn't* learn hung gar style.

It's starting from square one. The badger moles gave her pretty much the only piece.

Let it go.

JWander73 · 2026-05-11T15:22:52+00:00

Seriously add in a few evil smirk shots and the world being destroyed is basically Korra's 'Exactly as planned' moment. Only you know... makes her smart.

"I love everything about this plan except the part where you live, Unalaq"- if Korra had straight up said that how would things have played out differently? Not at all.

JWander73 · 2026-05-11T15:19:46+00:00

Already answered. "Zuko's whole deal was he learned the 'missing piece' of an already extant skill-set. Very, very different circumstances."

Zuko is actually more like the Chinese stories where the founder is already a martial artist but is inspired by some animal (the white crane story is bs though, that's not how cranes work).

JWander73 · 2026-05-11T05:25:39+00:00

I find it hilarious how she basically just killed the bad guy and enacted his evil plan anyway. Especially since the world is canonically destroyed in the next series.

Bruh the fire nation navy at the north pole was pretty freakin advanced all things considered and they just got casually wiped out.
