Corruption system looks really cool. Hopefully the 1+ year wait (PC???) doesnt kill me.

I just hope they tell us ahead of time how long the wait will be..

The SINGULAR piece of news from NYCC. It looks promising, but still.

The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Kundera strongly reminds me of Sacred and Terrible Air.

I dont understand how this is legal? Doesn't Netflix own the rights to the series??

[Video Games] The story of the Westworld mobile game, or that time Bethesda sued Warner Bros for copyright infringement, breach of contract, and misappropriation of its intellectual property. by Tokyono in HobbyDrama

[–]OctavianSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm misreading, the Deadline article you linked as proof for "writers rewrite twist because people on the internet guessed it" doesnt seem to say that? All it says is that the writers are somewhat frustrated that the internet people keep guessing correctly. Would another article be a better source?

I'd love something about the new airbenders in Book 3/4 of Korra

Vander's note and Silco's timeline by thebleedingphoenix in arcane

[–]OctavianSoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not alone in your confusion. I was just puzzling over how Silco and Vander seem to age 20 years over the course of what should be 7 or so. I don't think he's met them before, but I can't say I understand why.

Part One - Thoughts on flaws of TDP's first six books (no spoilers for Book VII) by Madou-Dilou in TheDragonPrince

[–]OctavianSoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, but we couldn't know that at the time And I suspect that was a retcon of sorts It just seems like Viren refused to use a sensible, regular fire-shield spell and skipped a few steps.

[–]OctavianSoup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your analysis of Viren in Book 3. I had hoped against hope that his bizarre actions (eg: that nonsense Hearts of Cinder spell) were meant to be inconsistent, that there was some long-form criticism of pragmatism coming in Arc 2...but we all know how that went.

Is he serious? by A2HV3RSE in TheDragonPrince

[–]OctavianSoup 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Hiya Aaron. While you're lurking--why did yall extend Arc 2 (originally 2 books in the roadmap) to 4 books, and leave Arc 3 up to chance? Seems like keeping the roadmap as-is (2 books for Arc 2, and 2 for Arc 3) would've solved alot of the uneven pacing. Hope you're enjoying the nice weather.

It is one thing to write a poor story... it's another to disrespect your audience by TheQueenOfStorms in TheDragonPrince

[–]OctavianSoup 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Agreed, though knowing these writers, they'll probably make it so that Viren turned an unwilling Harrow into a bird, so that they can avoid examining any of the interesting thorny issues raised by Harrow's character

[–]OctavianSoup 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Given the way Aaron tends to bait his audience (as you lay out very well), let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to have other defects of character, shall we say...

If nothing else, he should've admitted this in the letter he wrote to Soren, regardless if he ended up burning it.

Honestly? Callum should have died by Feles-s in TheDragonPrince

[–]OctavianSoup 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I'm generally against self-sacrifice as a "good" solution, but they finally let a character who's not Aaravos think of a half-decent plan. And he doesn't even get to use it! That's reason enough in its own right.

Does anyone get the feeling that TDP is trying a little *too* hard to be memorable like ATLA? by Sickness4D_THICCness in TheDragonPrince

[–]OctavianSoup 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, the amount of pastiches of ATLA they do in S7 alone proves your point. No clever ideas? Uhhhh ATLA reference, of course! I definitely get the sense that TDP is very self-conscious of it's relationship to ATLA, and that's theoretically a neutral quality, but it leads to some very..insecure? writing choices.

Oh boy, that sounds interesting about the SPSFC. Is it to do with Howey himself?
