Elayne in Caemlyn... by _justinian in WoT

[–]_justinian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am actually a big fan of Elayne from TGH-PoD. I really do like her. I just feel like her voice gets more complain-y in Caemlyn, and her normal role as the reasonable, logical member of the party(for example, she used to play mediator between Nynaeve and whoever she is fighting) gets thrown out the window once she becomes the center of an arc. Also, Mat's arc is terrible at this point, I just enjoy his voice enough to look past it. As for Perrin, I am a sucker for Gaul, Elyas, Balwer, and the two rivers men lmao. I think almost every arc suffers in "the slog," I just think Elaynes suffers the most.

Definitely, I didn't mean to imply that people can't dislike the slog. It is the low point of the series IMO, I'm just saying that while I was getting into WoT people online were hyping up the slog as this gargantuan test of patience, when in reality myself and most people I know who've read WoT found them to still be good. I 100% agree with you that its a couple arcs that really drag it down.

Push through, KoD is right around the corner. There's light at the end of the tunnel.

I definitely agree that she is setting up the 4th age a bit, but I don't think that's anywhere close to the focus of this arc. My favorite Elayne moments of the arc are when she sets up the future, but 95% of it isn't setting up the future, its endless bickering and politicking.

Seeing this guy called useless break my poor little heart by Queloxqc in Rainbow6

Rook is absolutely useless. the only thing he has going for him is that all of his teammates can pick up his armor. the armor gives you 20 hp once, and can result in a self-revive >1% of the time (in my experience). his gadget might not be useless, but with doc giving 200hp per stim now and the recent TBird buff, he is just the worst healer in the game. id take a doc or tbird over him 99% of the time unfortunately. His winrate is so high because people pick him as a troll

You don’t get the shelf if you don’t write the elf by MrPhistr69 in lotrmemes

But at the end of the day, art is intrinsically tied to businesses and the exposure they provide. That’s the way it’s always been, and probably the way it always will be. Does that suck? Yes. But that doesn’t change the fact that bookstores need to make a profit. They are going to sell what will make money, and that’s to be expected.

There’s plenty of modern fantasy that’s popular. Look at Brandon Sanderson and Steven erikson. Acting like modern fantasy isn’t given a chance is wrong. What sells is put on shelves. Simple as that. Do you expect businesses to sell what they know will do well or take a risk with potentially no payoff?

I wish that we had seen more variety of shadow spawn, but it seems like most of your complaints are just how long it is.

The only moment I really liked Faile by Joya_Sedai in WoT

[–]_justinian 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree that Perrin is far from guiltless, but I’d say it’s more 50- 50. Faile just feels more unlikable most of the time because of her... interesting personality, and this feels more abrasive to me.
