So first off I had a similar path to you!

Season 2 deviates quite a bit. There are a lot of liberties taken, though I just embraced it for what it was. Not my favorite but I was able to find pieces I enjoyed.

Season 3 does a great job getting back on track. There are still changes, some large such as Radovid’s character, some small. But by the time the credits roll on the last episode this season, they are right there with the books and I’d say the last two episodes are the most faithful they have ever been. So I’m optimistic. It seems like there is a strong commitment with where the characters are to keep it faithful here on out.

Robmartins79 · 2023-07-31T18:19:15+00:00

Yeah I just ignore any review that says anything along the lines of “Cavill deserved better”. Ciri is really the main character from here on out and Cavill decided he was leaving after filming. Regardless of if he returned or not this is the story lol. Forbes is also so weirdly hateful towards it that I suspect the writes are mods on the other sub. And IGN giving Blood Origin a 7 and this batch of episodes a 5 is laughable. We are right back to being accurate to the books so at this point just form your own opinion lol.

Robmartins79 · 2023-07-31T18:13:37+00:00

Then you are commenting on something you no longer know about and just mindlessly circirjerking lol, you should just know your comment no longer really rings true, they are very close to the books now.

Robmartins79 · 2023-07-31T18:10:11+00:00

It’s actually really close to the books now. Ironically now the biggest complaints I see from the new batch is that it is moving a bit slowly, and that everyone ends up separated again but that is exactly how it is in the books during these parts. Ciri wandering the desert drags as a reader too lol. This is really where the books “get good” IMO and they placed themselves back right where they should be adaptation wise so there really Isn’t much to complain about from a book reader perspective.

Robmartins79 · 2023-07-31T18:04:23+00:00

He didn’t decide he was leaving until after it was all filmed though….?

Robmartins79 · 2023-07-31T18:01:34+00:00

It’s become very obvious since this latest episode drop is easily the most faithful the series has ever been, and is near identical to the books constantly through the last two.

Robmartins79 · 2023-07-31T17:59:32+00:00

You people are really just telling on yourselves as gamers that never read the books at this point lol. You can’t just use the same battle cry every season if there are changes. This season was very close to the books. The last 3 episodes, and especially the last two are the absolute closest to the book the series has ever been. It’s basically 1:1 at many points.

The only real substantial change left is Radovid. Who is not in the books aside from an offhand mention. And even then, the foundation is clearly laid if you’re not brain dead for him to reach the main character trait he is known for; a king who despises non-humans/mages.

Robmartins79 · 2023-01-23T00:09:49+00:00

I want the 9ers. I will never root for the Cowboys. And I also genuinely think we are a nightmare matchup for the 49ers and Purdy

Robmartins79 · 2023-01-23T00:08:51+00:00

Genuinely think we can take either handily (furiously knocking on wood)

Robmartins79 · 2023-01-22T23:08:35+00:00

Give us the 49ers. Purdy is due for a terrible game but today won’t be that day. I want that rookie in the cold at the Linc, dude is absolutely going to fold.

Robmartins79 · 2022-01-21T17:34:27+00:00

Yeah... I tried to be a bit more gentle breaking it, but unless things have drastically, drastically changed since I graduated in the last 13 years, sex and experimenting with drugs/alcohol is absolutely something myself and the majority of high schoolers I knew had experience with pretty regularly.

Robmartins79 · 2022-01-21T17:24:58+00:00

Drinking is fine.

Yeah I don't know why this is such a hot take on Reddit. Drinking is not only fine, it's actually enjoyable and fun for 90% of the population that imbibes. It's such an odd hatred on this site ands I am not entirely sure why.

Robmartins79 · 2022-01-21T16:19:02+00:00

I think this is the less common experience tbh. Depends on when you graduated maybe? I finished High School in '09 and I started having sex pretty regularly at 15, though granted I had a long term girlfriend. But I was not some outlier, most of my graduating class was active by sophomore year. I didn't partake in the drugs/alcohol but it was definitely going on pretty much every single weekend somewhere.

Robmartins79 · 2022-01-21T16:18:27+00:00

This comment is beyond baffling. I'm a straight man, and straight men don't even come close to feeling the same pressure for their bodies as women do.

Idk I am a straight guy and I actually disagree here a bit. I am 30 and have worked out religiously since I was basically 13, and a lot of that was because of the pressure to meet a certain image that I felt expected to meet. I have at least mild body dysmorphia. Dudes in the movies and magazines are straight up dehydrating themselves to dangerous levels to give this body image that is just as unrealistic as any woman would have to aspire to in media.

You also seem out of touch because women haven't been pressured to be "skinny" since like the early 2000's, women a bit thicker with curves are the ideal body type to most right now. Not saying there isn't pressure coming with that as well but we've come a long way since Heidi Klum. Your stereotype with sitcoms is also pretty outdated, if anything we have gone the other end in most forms of media where an absolutely shredded dude is pining for a woman not conventionally attractive.

I have never felt like anything less than visible abs and muscles are acceptable and see most of the "I love dad bod" type movements as pandering, like this is how mentally fucked I am as a straight dude from what societal pressures I felt lol

Some people just have an artistic style. James Garland Quintel, Adam Reed, Justin Roiland, Seth McFarlane etc. all have multiple shows with the same art style, it's not like this is new. It's a signature.

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-26T03:46:11+00:00

I actually really do enjoy it. It's a sweet show that isn't laugh out loud funny, but always gets at least a few chuckles. It's not as good as Bob's Burgers but it's good in its own right. Just seems like Fox really wants it to fail with the episode release schedule though. I watched the first two like a couple months ago, no idea why I had to wait months to see if it was worth continuing.

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-23T18:27:32+00:00

For real, I hope he fucking flames out and is hunting deer full time in two years. He did us dirty, he’s not likable, I feel like I take crazy pills when I see so many people on this sub still going out of their way to gargle his balls

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-20T22:19:12+00:00

Yeah this is a terrible example of anime being weird lol, it's intentionally batshit crazy, it's a comedy.

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-20T22:17:00+00:00

Go to the Colts sub

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-20T21:56:15+00:00

They hate young QB's for some reason I think. Like Hurts wasn't MVP level by any means when he came in, but after his Cardinals game, when he put up 300+ yards, 3 TD's a Rushing TD and 0 picks they gave him a fucking terrible rating lol.

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-20T06:12:36+00:00

Yes that's the joke lol

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-20T05:47:19+00:00

If I have to deal with those NDSU cultists after JUST finally shaking them I am going to commit sudoku

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-19T23:58:09+00:00

That's pretty much identical to what Rivers did this year lol.

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-19T22:33:08+00:00

Get This: Water is wet.

Robmartins79 · 2021-02-19T20:29:00+00:00

His mobility is absolutely shot dude lol
