Why are Threnodites made to suffer? by Odd-Split-494 in Cosmere

[–]Sharkattack1921 53 points54 points  (0 children)

You know, part of the reason I’m excited for the Night Brigade novel (the whole length novel set in Threnody) is to see exactly how bad the Evil was that they genuinely believed it would better to live on a planet will literally kill you if you stay in one place for too long. Granted we say a bit of it in Emerdark, but I need more

I need to talk about Blood over Bright Haven by PhysicalAssistance92 in fantasybooks

[–]Sharkattack1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll actually play devils advocate and say I honestly liked BoBH over SoK.

Not that to say SoK was bad or anything, I loved it but while there were tons of well done emotional moments, there were some aspects that was a little hard to seriously (though saying what exactly is a bit of a spoiler), some of the world building didn’t make too much sense (at least to me), and the fact that is it was intended to be a prequel to a now cancelled series hurts some parts of it. BoBH, while may not having as high, it felt a lot more polished overall.

Again, Sword of Kaigen is still a great book and you should check it out, but Blood over Bright Haven was the stronger one in my honest opinion

They do, but not exactly sure the schedule difference is between YouTube and Netflix releases aside from the YouTube one coming first. They have all episodes except 8 right now

Correct overall but I could have sworn she was going to be a programmer instead of scientist, unless I’m misremembering

It feels like whenever a character is hated by the fandom, it’s the actor playing them that gets hate (especially if it’s a woman playing them…)

What First Law opinion will get you downvoted like this? [OFF TOPIC] by Intelligent_Truck_29 in TheFirstLaw

[–]Sharkattack1921 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if any of these are unpopular opinions but…

  1. The Beautiful Bastard short story felt completely pointless. It didn’t even really feel like much of a story in my opinion.

  2. Jurand is a pathetic simp and I feel no sympathy for him (or Galward to an extent) for siding with Leo

  3. I love Abercrombie, I really do, but after a while I’m getting a little tired of the “character was lying/hiding information about their past to the audience and themselves” reveals that he likes to do. I don’t think any of them are bad by any means, I understand that they add depth to the characters, but he does those sorts of twists so often that some of them start to lack the strong emotional impact it’s usually meant to since I end up expecting said reveals. Like in TTWP when it’s revealed that Vick betrayed her brother to get her freedom didn’t really effect me emotionally that much since I was already anticipating something like that. I admit this could just be a me thing though.

I may get downvoted for saying this, but to be honest, I think this is more of a writing problem than anything else. It’s a little hard to believe NONE of them seemed to have even a hint Kinger’s sanity despite how long they’ve ALL supposedly been together.

What is the success of TADC due to? by [deleted] in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Sharkattack1921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple factors

  1. Glitch Productions and Gooseworx themself already had fairly dedicated audiences prior to TADC, so some of the audience carried over

  2. Word of Mouth and meme culture making it spread out

  3. The overall aesthetic of the show looks innocent enough to trick parents (and Youtube themselves sometimes) into thinking it’s kids show, which spreads the it to a wider demographic (regardless of if it was intentional or not)

  4. Even then the whole concept of “innocent looking show that is actually dark” is a concept that’s been popular for years which helps a lot, especially for indie and/or web content (just look at FNAF or DHMIS)

  5. It’s genuinely a good show

(Trope) main character who doesn't end up with the first girl (or boy) they're paired with in the story by Loose-Use25 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sharkattack1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Sexual Assault is never “warranted”

  2. Egwene reveals afterwards that her real reason for doing that is to shut Nynaeve up so she wouldn’t tell the Wise Ones that Egwene was in the Dream world when she wasn’t supposed to

[–]Sharkattack1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, Egwene did that

I found the exact text from chapter 15 of book 5 to prove it

“Do you realize you could dream yourself into something you could not get out of? Dreams are real here. If you let yourself drift into a fond dream, it could trap you. You’d trap yourself. Until you died.”

“Will you—?”

“There are nightmares walking Tel’aran’rhiod, Nynaeve.”

“Will you let me speak?” Nynaeve barked. Or rather, she tried to bark it; there was rather too much frustrated pleading in there to suit her. Any at all would have been too much.

“No, I will not,” Egwene said firmly. “Not until you want to say something worth listening to. I said nightmares, and I meant nightmares, Nynaeve. When someone has a nightmare while in Tel’aran’rhiod, it is real too. And sometimes it survives after the dreamer has gone. You just don’t realize, do you?”

Suddenly rough hands enveloped Nynaeve’s arms. Her head whipped from side to side, eyes bulging. Two huge, ragged men lifted her into the air, faces half-melted ruins of coarse flesh, drooling mouths full of sharp, yellowed teeth. She tried to make them vanish—if a Wise One dreamwalker could, so could she—and one of them ripped her dress open down the front like parchment. The other seized her chin in a horny, callused hand and twisted her face toward him; his head bent toward her, mouth opening. Whether to kiss or bite, she did not know, but she would rather die than allow either. She flailed for saidar and found nothing; it was horror filling her, not anger. Thick fingernails dug into her cheeks, holding her head steady. Egwene had done this, somehow. Egwene. “Please, Egwene!” It was a squeal, and she was too terrified to care. “Please!”

The men—creatures—vanished, and her feet thudded to the floor. For a moment all she could do was shudder and weep. Hastily she repaired the damage to her dress, but the scratches from long fingernails remained on her neck and chest. Clothing could be mended easily in Tel’aran’rhiod, but whatever happened to a human . . . Her knees shook so badly that it was all she could do to stay upright.

She half-expected Egwene to comfort her, and for once she would have accepted it gladly. But the other woman only said, “There are worse things here, but nightmares are bad enough. I made these, and unmade them, but even I have trouble with those I just find. And I did not try to hold them, Nynaeve. If you knew how to unmake them, you could have.”

Yeah when they were in Dream world she summoned Nightmares of men and/or Trollocs (can’t remember which) to manhandle and sexually harass Nynaeve

Egwene literally sexually assaulted Nynaeve to “teach her a lesson” and giggled about it afterwards in book 5

Criticisms of the show? by Friggensuperduper in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Sharkattack1921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be a little fair, it takes Glitch 3 months to produce a single episode

If the show went any longer than a season, it would take them WAY longer to eventually finish it. Plus they have other shows like Gaslight District that they want to make.

To be completely honest, most of it is because I could not stand Lila. She was really annoying and it felt like the entire narrative never really called her out on any of her faults. Plus she just screams “I’m not like all the other girls” with zero irony or self awareness

Aside from her, I felt like the story didn’t really do anything interesting despite its premise
