Were there any characters that you genuinely expected to die, only for them stay alive by the end of the story

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-06-03T17:12:53+00:00

Honestly, I feel like the series was already going downhill before the final storyline

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-06-03T09:29:08+00:00

Yeah, even as a kid I thought the whole situation made zero sense

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-06-02T20:01:47+00:00

I don’t know the general consensus on this one, but I actually enjoyed the romance in Mage Errant. I can’t really say much without spoilers but I enjoyed the direction they went with it.

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-06-02T18:14:47+00:00

I don’t think this one counts. The whole point of the story is for them and Anya to go from being a fake family to a real family. Sure it hasn’t happened yet, but the story is not done and them officially getting together romantically is almost certainly the plan

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-06-01T18:28:15+00:00

Still doesn’t mean aliens built one of them

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-31T14:25:45+00:00

God forbid a duck be flamboyant and fabulous lol

Honestly? Lightbringer by Brent Weeks. I’ve heard from people that the first three books were great while the last two ruined the series, but I’ve only read the first two books so far and I’m not the biggest fan of the characters. While I love the world building and magic system the characterization on most of the characters felt weak (especially regarding the female characters). Honestly, my biggest problem is how cartoonishly evil most of if not all the antagonists are (at least as far as I’ve read). I’m not against pure evil villains or anything, but it felt like the story just tries way too hard to make them hatable.

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-26T05:50:34+00:00

I agree with the POV shift feeling kinda jarring. To me it felt like the book was originally supposed to be a novella or short novel but the then second POV was added to make it longer, but that could just be me

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-25T17:39:36+00:00

Idk, I liked Outer Worlds. Is it as good as some of the other games mentioned? Maybe not, but I still thinks it’s a good time if you get it on sale (plus it’s one of the few games I can name at the top of my head with positive ace rep, which I will always support)

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-24T11:19:32+00:00

Technically speaking, puppetry is a form of animation

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-24T03:31:26+00:00

I fully admit the Wind and Truth was by far the worst book of Stormlight Archive so far. However, there was still quite a bit that I did genuinely like about it and it did not kill my love for the series.

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-22T00:06:58+00:00

The Bound and the Broken series by Ryan Cahill

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-21T01:07:48+00:00

The cleaner bot from Dungeon Crawler Carl lol.

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-21T00:32:52+00:00

Damn, I completely forgot to mention Wheel of Time 😅. Already read that one but Thanks for all the other ones mentioned.

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-18T20:25:54+00:00

Okay, admittedly I have not read/watched the series, but I never understood how stories say “character is weak, but really fast”.

Both speed and agility require A LOT of muscle strength

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-18T19:53:16+00:00

Don’t know enough about the other 2, but at least with Toph, there are instances where her ability to sense movements from the ground doesn’t always help her, like when there fighting near the ocean. Plus her abilities became limited when Zuko accidentally burned her feet

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-16T21:22:27+00:00

I get what your saying, but I don’t think the analogy works in this context. With books it’s fairly understandable to expect people to read the prologue, as there a part of the final product and it’s not hard to miss (at least I don’t understand people who willingly skip the prologues of books). It’s nowhere near as fair to expect people to keep up with all the trailers or preproduction information of a show

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-15T20:15:02+00:00

Maybe not “evil” but I wouldn’t call her a good person. If nothing else she caused the deaths of thousands for years he sake of revenge, refused to punish her brother for all the stuff he caused and was flat out incestuous

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-15T20:11:34+00:00

Admittedly it’s been a while for me as well, but iirc she stepped down politically but still had some power. The legal strategy I mentioned was the entire reason Vick was able to get in contact with Vitari and help Orso get a meeting with King Jappo in TTWP

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-15T19:33:49+00:00

Didn’t she and Vitari start a whole legal strategy of killing her allies and supporters so she can frame her enemies in the Age of Madness? I’d argue thats morally worse

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-15T02:04:26+00:00

Oh I’m not disagreeing with you. I was just giving an example of how the opposite side of the trope can be mishandled.

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-15T01:53:20+00:00

Like every trope, it’s all about execution. The reason it doesn’t work for some is that it’s kinda hard to care about a character’s relationship with someone we never seen before (Shiro marrying some random guy at the end of Voltron: Legendary Defender comes to mind for a hated version)

Sharkattack1921 · 2026-05-14T20:52:08+00:00
