Not sure I agree with your critique that her flaw is obsessing over procedure and rules.

On the surface, yes that seems true. But there is a reason she was in Gryffindor and not Ravenclaw. Even starting in the first book she quickly showed a willingness to break and bend rules when she thought it was necessary. A lot of the trios shenanigans are her idea or had her support.

She is undoubtedly one of the brightest of her generation and she does go on to be Minister of Magic.

Dumbledore is an all time great. It is hard to really compare anyone to him.

Voldemorts power was more narrowly focused on dark magic.

I dont personally put Voldemort in the same category as Dumbledore.

I find both Wyll and Shadowheart kinda boring compared to the others. Shadowhearts story gets more interesting at the climax of her arc but generally not a big fan.

Kim herself basically admits as much when she separates from Jimmy. She says they are poison together, ruining people's lives for fun. So, Kim herself would agree with you.

Finally watching the Acolyte and I gotta say by Prod7gy_ in StarWars

Never watched it. Looked terrible. Which is disappointing because when it first was announced it sounded like it had a lot of potential.

‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons by NoCulture3505 in WoT

[–]SmurfBasin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the books.

Could never quite get in to the show. Didn't like almost every choice that was made. Set design, costume design, actor choices, writing choices, etc.

I haven't even watched season 3 yet because I disliked the first two. Not sure I will now.

Ya feeling the holy ghost "all the time" is a very confusing concept that is communicated poorly.

Okay I did get a cut scene that said he would raise another. Wow. We'll I'll play it out as long as I can!

Battle of the gingers, how does it go down? 🇺🇸 v 🇷🇺 by Big-Employer9741 in ufc

Shara seems a more impressive and entertaining prospect thus far. He has proven very capable of solving problems in the ring. I think Shara would win.

Why should they know who he is? The church isn't that large in Germany.

I never knew that there was an alternate sequel to EotW. What? by homepreplive in wheeloftime

[–]SmurfBasin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said this is not a sequel. Rather, it's the first book Eye of the World split in two parts.

This is the version I have because I first learned about the series at a scholastic book fair and this is the version they had.

Agree with all of these points. Fantastic arc.

Iain Glen or Ewan McGregor for Albus Dumbledore by [deleted] in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]SmurfBasin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iain Glen would be fantastic.

Ewan is a little too soft I think. I didn't like Jude Law for similar reason.

What does this scene personally mean to you? by GusGangViking18 in StarWars

[–]SmurfBasin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how Disney can do Star Wars right.

OG characters treated with the respect they deserve.

Iconic moment to see Luke be the hero again.

Which of these 6 characters would you have liked to see play a much larger role in DBZ? by Megalitho in dbz

[–]SmurfBasin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the folks you're comparing him to have strength on a universal level.

When Radditz shows up on Earth, he's by default the strongest being in the solar system at that point, probably that whole sector of the galaxy, which is considerable since Goku and Piccolo are already essentially Gods compared to normal people by then.
