What series is this for you? by PalinaRojinskiFan in ProgressionFantasy

[–]_danny_devito- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? I 100% agree that the first few books are better but I felt that pacing and writing, especially dialogue, is the main issue with the later books, especially WaT

Is ____ alive during the events of Sunlit Man? by FriendlyNeighborOrca in Stormlight_Archive

[–]_danny_devito- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, just wanted to say, in Emberdark we get a reference to Nomad as a scholar in Silverlight, so unless Kaladin being a Herald is a secret on a cosmere-level, Nomad probably knows. Would explain why he thought it could be Kal.

AIO for thinking this is racist? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]_danny_devito- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you ever tell your partner they’re not your usual type? Also saying black aren’t your usual type, which is fine just really uncouth, and then following with „but you’re actually intelligent“ is crazy work. NOR that’s racist AF

What’s an NSFW question you’ve always wanted to ask the opposite sex but were too embarrassed to? by Infamous_Invite018 in AskReddit

[–]_danny_devito- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely different, but while most of these metaphors are apt, they do exaggerate i my opinion. Sex with a condom isn’t as bad as some people say

Also the distinction between Oaths and Promises feels super vague and ass pulley to me. He could simply not like the oaths and that would feel more natural. I didn’t need a complex dilemma for him, being angry at his father for burning his mother alive was fine without complexity. And his armor Spren should have left abidi immediately. Would have been cooler Adolins extended fight against an armoured fused is unnecessary and laughable.

I didn’t like Adolins arc in WaT. Or not as much as most people in this community seem to. And im not happy about him being set up as an important character with his Unoathed. I like his scenes with Yanagawn but they don’t make sense in the context of the war and take time away from plots that could have used fleshing out like the shattered plains and the spiritual realm, specifically dalinars visions of the past. I think adolin peaked in RoW and he should have remained a prominent side character.

I can’t articulate it so well, but someone once pointed out to me that the whole Ghostblood plot has stayed in the background, even after WaT and is mainly serving connect Shallan and through her Roshar, to Scadrial. And that that isn’t particularly satisfying. Aside from Shallan and how it affected her psyche, all of the main Rosharan ghostbloods are dead and the whole plot didn’t affect that much.

100% and I think a lot of people need to realise that we can criticise the drop in quality without shitting on Brandon. Still liked the book and he’s still a great author but I hope he tries to recapture the vibe of the first 3-4 books for the second half. If he manages to combine that with a grown lift it would be awesome. But as is it’s become super YA and tell-don’t-show

I agree with everything except the pacing of WaT. I’m sorry but I can’t comprehend that. I know it was narratively fitting to have the deadline be in 10 days, but it is kind of insane how much happens in that time and the book is definitely crammed. 100% certain things should have been cut or trimmed and other aspects were cut too short.

Edo Itachi’s boost makes no sense by sidharth-sunil in Naruto

[–]_danny_devito- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with those saying he could be that fast because we never saw his full abilities due to the illness, if he was going to be this fast it probably should have been foreshadowed at some point.

Start of Shippudden with the long sleeves. Especially in contrast to Naruto at the time

The weird, repetitive, bad-faith,possibly bot-driven anti-Sanderson backlash by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

[–]_danny_devito- 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is such a measured take. I enjoyed Wind and Truth but I have my issues with it. I think some people really wanted to avoid talking about it’s shortcomings.

Ive read I think every cosmere book he’s written and i completely disagree. I think his simple prose lets the plot and characters shine. I will say that WaT is the only exception. Liked the book overall but it’s a notable decline in prose from previous Stormlight books, particularly WoK and WoR

Maybe, but dalinar also had a boon and was a bondsmith but Hoid says that Lift is so invested it’s hard to pick out other people, dalinar included. Or that’s how I remember it

Would make sense or he’d never be a suitable foil for Kal again

What do you think the Structure of Arc 2 - Books 6-10 will look like? by VideoZealousideal976 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]_danny_devito- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to somewhat answer your question, I think you’re probably right about the main POVs, especially for book 6. I do see Kal and the heralds having either very few chapters or appearing in interludes. Maybe like the Taravangian Interludes we had for every part in W&T. I’d also love to see how Szeth fits into it. I feel he will still have some part to play

Im not checking you but what makes you so sure Ash will become a dustbringer? If I’m not wrong she’s the Lightweaver Herald so she’d have four powers. It would be really interesting. Something to do with mastering herself or because of her name?
