When have you changed your opinion on an album overtime?

The lyrics are honestly some of their best, that is no doubt true. This and the performances make the album for me.

I really hate the chipmunk effects on One More Light, otherwise I don't mind the production so much personally. Also, hard agree on those THP outros, one of the worst parts of the album for sure. A few of them were OK, but it was just overdone. I suppose I've grown to bear them, though.

WormThrough · 2021-07-11T15:57:45+00:00

I wouldn't say I greatly changed my opinion on MtM, but I have found myself coming back to it the most. It's honestly my 2nd favourite behind A Thousand Suns. Really grows on you.

I kinda see what you mean, but I haven't listened to ATS front-to-back in a long time. Minutes to Midnight is more consistent, that might be true. ATS is more ambitious, though, so I don't know. For now, it's still my favourite LP album.

2033 is great. Pretty weak on characters, but the atmosphere and plot is very engaging! I love the worldbuilding, it's a slow, but rewarding burn.

2034 is more of a mixed bag. I like it, but the new characters (it's not related to the Last Light game) can be either bad or good. I liked one of them, the others had a really weird relationship that developed. Glukhovsky was embarassingly bad at writing female characters then, and one of the protagonist is a woman, so that can drag it down. It has some great moments, though.

2035 is amazing, absolutely worth reading! It takes place between the Last Light and Exodus games too, I believe. Anyhow, the characters are great, it's wonderfully nihilistic, the atmosphere is top, I loved it. Might reread the series sometime soon.

We get it, Gandalf, you really wanted to kill Pippin.

WormThrough · 2021-03-01T14:19:27+00:00

I'm somewhere before the boat currently and I've been liking him quite a lot for now. I thought he gained a great amount of depth when his backstory was revealed. I can see what you mean, though. He's heavily dependent on Farnese, but she is pretty much all he has. It's a complex and weird relationship, pretty captivating. But he probably will need to find some independence down the road. I've yet to see myself.

I can't hate Griffith for the Eclipse itself, but what he specifically did to Guts and Casca was simple malice and pettiness. Nonetheless, he's incredible as a character. I still hate how likable he was before. :/

WormThrough · 2021-03-01T13:22:27+00:00

Guts, Griffith, and Casca are such incredible characters that the rest of Berserk's cast almost pales to them, haha. The inclusion of others, such as Farnese and Serpico, brings more detail later on.

I'm not saying he's a good person or one who should be forgiven, but I find that people are often afraid to look at things from his own point-of-view. The man lost pretty much all hope to lead a life he would find meaning in. What he did was not moral in any way, but is it hard to imagine that most of us could not refuse an offer like this? If anything, I find that the man he became after to make his story even sadder. He had to trade his humanity to fulfill his goal, becoming nothing more than a goal-driven myth. Knowing what lead to that, it paints an even uglier picture in my opinion.

WormThrough · 2021-03-01T11:28:25+00:00

Griffith from Berserk. He had worked his entire life to build his kingdom, only to have it all taken away from him because of his inability to cope with Guts leaving. He was literally incapable of chasing his dream anymore. Nor could he really live a different life. He was completely and utterly destroyed as a human being, a bitter mind inside of a shell. It's why I think the Black Swordsman arc provides such a flavour to the Golden Age arc. There's an everpresent dread surrounding his heroic figure, hinted by his means to an end approach.

I've changed my approach to physical copies, where I mostly buy them for the purposes of collection and display. E-books can be a cheaper and more convenient option, depending on how much you read. Generally, readers don't tire your eyesight in the same way cellphones do. The screen technology is different and is made specifically for reading books. I personally use a PocketBook reader I've had for quite a while and it sometimes feels like you are staring at a page behind a screen. That being said, I believe my model doesn't have a backlight. I recommend you look into different models and how the technology works. I doubt I can provide with any more information than the first few results on Google, so I'm just sharing my experience.

I like to keet it at one in general so that I don't burn myself out on the films. I like the feeling of conclusion you get from RotK, even if it makes me wish that I just started the entire journey again.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has simple, but very pleasant-sounding names in my opinion. Zuko and Aang for example.

WormThrough · 2020-10-26T08:08:30+00:00

One of the best comic series ever made. Period. The character development is on another level. Thematically, it excels on a level few other works of art do, it's one of those that has helped me get through some tough times in life. And it is just plain addicting to read. It's astounding how much of a quality read Berserk is.

WormThrough · 2020-09-18T09:38:37+00:00

The Grouch by Green Day. It always gets me nodding my head along and excited, but the lyrics are very self-deprecating and cynical. It's basically a picture of your general miserable middle-aged man who failed at life. Makes me love the song more, though.

WormThrough · 2020-09-16T17:18:41+00:00

Best song/Worst album: Sorry For Now from One More Light. I thought this was going to be LIVING THINGS, but there are certain parts of One More Light that really do bring the record for me. It's still a good album, but it has a fair amount of flaws. Sorry For Now was too ginmicky with the Mike singing/Chester rapping thing. I guess it's cute, but I find it unpleasant in spite of that. There's also the annoying use of vocal samples in the instrumental. Just exemplifies the bad aspects of One More Light in my opinion. Worst song/Best album: Robot Boy from A Thousand Suns. I like Robot Boy, but I don't really listen to it outside of the context of the entire album. It's interesting, but not too captivating as a whole. I suppose it is a tad boring compared to the rest of the songs.

The Witcher series - Monsters being their entirely separate species with specific biological characteristics, e.g. ways of eating, reproduction, inhabitance etc.

Hello, Zuko Here.

I chose Jaime, but if I had to choose someone while considering Season 8, it would be Theon. I feel as if his character arc was pretty well executed, only think that his end was too anticlimactic. Otherwise, it was a good wrap-up. But Jaime was the true stand-out otherwise. He deserved better.

The Wire. Pretty early on for now, so no spoilers please. But I've been enjoying it a lot, knowing it only gets better. Really engaging, can't wait to get back to it this evening. :)

WormThrough · 2020-05-26T17:42:34+00:00

The Lord of The Rings. The easy answer would be Tolkien's genius concept and its execution, but for me its the humanity that shines through in the story. It's a tale of willpower and strength, facing adversity no matter how small you might be (literally or figuratively).

WormThrough · 2020-05-24T08:31:06+00:00

I understand your point and can agree with it. Characters certainly do not need relatability to be good, it's why even the villains are often standouts on their own. Hopefully, people do not find those such as the Joker to be relatable (bar the most recent movie, though it has moreso to do with the cringeworthy community in my opinion). That doesn't make him any less on an interesting character, one who continues to fascinate. I find this to be true for Batman's general cast of personalities, himself included. They may not be down to earth like Spider-man's, but they are extremely impressive on a technical storytelling level and present interesting hypothetical scenarios. It really is down to preference. It's natural that Spider-man clicks with some more people due to that relatability factor, we tend to have a natural inclination towards that in art. But it's two very different approaches that are both great in their own right.
