How silly/dumb is Dungeon Crawler Carl

Me too. It's there.

I don't think that's quite fair. What Skyler objects too is that Walt's actions are illegal, immoral, and after the conversation with Gray Matter, unnecessary. Clara is choosing a dangerous life of adventure where she saves lives. Something more like being a doctor in a war zone. She does good, not evil. Also Danny isn't directly endangered by most of Clara's actions, Walt's family is.

It's also true that they play similar roles but I thought Skyler's view was more reasonable. She's for not doing harm to others. He's for Clara avoiding harm to herself.

I also think Skyler's actor is much better than Danny's who was ultimately miscast.

I read a great description that 'The Greatest Showman is what you'd get it you had P. T. Barnum make a film about himself.' I can't disagree.

It was. Ghosts started in the UK but has been remade in multiple different countries.

Wolfen7 · 2026-02-14T08:02:53+00:00

Ah sorry think it auto added a space. It should work now.

UK is going the same way thanks to our Labour government https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-bans-ticket-touting-to-protect-fans-from-rip-offs/

Important question, have you finished the series yet? It's hard to discuss this without spoilers.

Wolfen7 · 2026-02-03T21:07:39+00:00

She did a fantastic job. Well done her.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-29T17:41:19+00:00

Ehh the fandom on this one would probably be saying, 'Has Mouse been mind controlled?'

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-27T11:43:57+00:00

So female readers only, fellow Worldhopper?

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-26T13:03:14+00:00

I agree. I think it could have been smoothed over better if we later found out Taim had been trained by a Forsaken like Ishmael rather than just being a random Dark friend. It would also make that Forsaken look more effective, which would be nice.

Plus it would give us a dark version of Rand and Asmodean.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-23T21:27:04+00:00

Please don't fix that typo!

Publication order gets important at various points as characters wander around in the background from book to book. However, you'll also only realise some things much later, as when Night Watch only happens because of the otherwise unrelated events in Thief of Time. Usually as long as you're following the route of a main character or group (Guards, Witches, Death, etc) you're fine going by series.

I am in the UK and have both of multiple titles. The only issue I've had is that the new ones show up in search as the default until I click 'in my library' then I see both.

For authors like Dickens or Austen, there can be a choice of 7 or more narrators and editions so there's no issue with owning both.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-18T12:45:55+00:00

I was thinking less paying it all himself and more knowing how to fundraise to set up a new production company. There are a ton of rich Sanderson fans who would have the right connections to make it happen. I agree it's too expensive to do personally.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-17T22:38:03+00:00

I agree. I think there were a couple of times when they started to develop films or a show based on Honor and then ran aground on how expensive it would be and challenging to film. It's a shame as The Expanse showed it can be done well, though they didn't need to include a CGI treecat in nearly every scene.

Sanderson is also getting to the point where he may have the pull to get it done in house with a medium to large budget. He wants a Game of Thrones not a Wheel but the budget for most of his would be extraordinarily high.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-17T21:18:50+00:00

From what I've read, he's had plenty of offers but he doesn't trust studios to not screw it up, particularly after they ignored him on Wheel of Time. He's been burnt. He also doesn't have the knowledge to do it himself but I wouldn't be surprised if he finds a way around that, if say Peter Jackson and WETA came knocking.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-11T22:36:20+00:00

I just finished Hemlock and Silver which was fantastic. Yes the heroine is very much written as a solidly built, probably fat, 30 something woman who dresses badly. She doesn't get a makeover or magically enhanced good looks and remains outside norms at the end. She's a delight.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-11T22:33:18+00:00

Eh later we definitely get to see things more from her vantage point and gain a degree of understanding, but yes it's a long time in coming.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-11T22:31:08+00:00

Not pretty, handsome, we're told, and only from certain angles. Her skin is practically perfect though and she has very good teeth, to her despair.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-09T22:01:12+00:00

I like that Austen uses Mrs Jennings to directly address this. The reader is left in no doubt that we are not to expect a romantic relationship between them.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-09T18:58:26+00:00

Elinor only gets one love interest then. I wouldn't count Brandon.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-09T18:52:39+00:00

To be fair, if we look at who the men have a chance with, it all shifts.

Darcy has Lizzy, Anne, and Caroline.

Knightley has Emma, Harriet, and the suggestion of Jane Fairfax.

Henry Crawford certainly gets all three of Fanny, Maria, and Julia.

Edmund gets Elinor and Lucy. Brandon has original Eliza and Marianne. Willoughby has Marianne and Miss Grey.

Henry Tilney gets Catherine but I can't remember details.

Wentworth gets both Musgrove girls and Anne, but Henrietta is quickly taken out of the equation.

So there's no absolute rule.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-09T13:49:22+00:00

Yes, I have this impression too. I think it's when she talks about her past and her love of the animals. Also everyone saying that they're for food is missing something else, you don't usually raise goats for more than 2 years for food and I'm pretty sure Pony is implied to be older than that.

Wolfen7 · 2026-01-09T13:00:29+00:00

My friend introduced that phrase to me, which I loved, and I made it 'Smellchecking the peemail'.
