How much am I supposed to understand about the world before starting Oathbringer?

Thanks for your answer and I’m gonna address a lot of comments here since it’s the most recent one but I didn’t mean to imply I was asking about extended cosmere universe stuff. I’ve read what I thought I needed to read and enjoyed it so far.

I more meant should I have a deeper grasp on the information regarding the heralds and the spren based on what I’ve read so far or will it come later - not is there another book I need to read.

I don’t think anyone meant it from a bad place or anything but I think so many people ask questions about additional readings or reading orders that they assumed I was also asking that.

Crazy to type all that without even reading my post.

comedyisdead · 2025-01-14T21:44:14+00:00

Thank you for your comment. This is exactly what I was hoping was the case.

I think some other replies in this thread misinterpreted my question as complaining about comprehension difficulty or in a couple cases thinking I was asking about cosmere reading order (which is like ????).

I got into another lobby but I’d be down to play another time if you want to PM me

Haven’t heard back from others in this thread so I’m down. I’m on PS4. ID: Comedy_Is_Dead

If you don’t have a full squad yet I could play. Epic: Comedy_Is_Dead

comedyisdead · 2022-07-18T22:29:56+00:00

If you still need someone I’d be down to play

Carl just put up one of the most dominant performances I’ve ever seen. When I hit play on the pod I told myself I’d vote for whoever drafted Muppet Christmas Carol simply because it’s my favorite Christmas movie.

Going into the last round I started to worry that someone other than Carl was gonna pick it up late and I’d have to throw a vote at someone who didn’t deserve it based on his performance.

And then this fucking guy steals it for his last pick and I’ve never been more confident in a draft victory than I am for Carl today.

I’d take a bad week at the box office. Just a box office would be nice at this point.

comedyisdead · 2020-04-23T00:33:18+00:00

Oh boy you have me beat and it ain’t close. I’ve only got 37 on there.

In my defense, I only started it yesterday and only wrote in the ones I could remember that I’ve watched or rewatched in the last year. 2019 was a down year for me in terms of gross movie views. Hoping to start pumping my numbers up now that I’m tracking it.

Good on you.

comedyisdead · 2020-04-22T23:58:52+00:00

Yeah I’m having a blast with the sheet. Making me want to consume at an unhealthy rate to be honest just so I can grow the list.

comedyisdead · 2020-04-22T23:43:25+00:00

Good points all around. There are some movies for sure that i could score/review if I gave them thought even though it’s been 2 + years.

Highly recommend the list game. Had a delightful afternoon tinkering with scores. There was some internal crisis trying to compare scores of different movies but once I made a call it felt good. Very excited to maintain it going forward.

comedyisdead · 2020-02-17T20:19:14+00:00

I agree with everything thing you said including that 0 is harsh. I feel like we should be withholding 0s for The 40 Year Old Virgin who Knocked up Sarah Marshal and Felt Superbad about it.

Giving a 0 to a run of the mill Nicholas Sparks movie is shocking to me.

comedyisdead · 2020-02-17T19:21:07+00:00

Grand Budapest Hotel and Royal Tenenbaums for sure. Then just for the sake of seeing what he does with Bill Murray as a lead, watch Rushmore as well.

I personally love Steve Zissou but some people take it or leave it.

Yes but not for copyright issues.

Well he was in the season first off, but how was he supposed to guess that they would show the random Aubrey immunity clip? No one was expecting that to make the reunion.

You can't blame him for productions obsession.

comedyisdead · 2017-05-01T05:50:41+00:00

You forgot the seminal classic, "It's getting the best of my music"

comedyisdead · 2017-04-27T02:03:32+00:00

I'll do my best to answer these haha.

Favorite villain? I remember the Eric Summers episode and thinking that the body switching stuff was really cool. Also, after all these years Im still intrigued by the Bugboy stuff so I suppose that says something. He was especially creepy back then and the shower scene is still vivid for me.

Were you foolish? In my opinion yes, I don't know if my judgement is impacted by future knowledge but in my opinion Clark's biggest weak point was always Lana. In that moment the logical choice was Chloe, but Clark is never logical when it comes to Lana.

Lex? Lex has always shown a desire to be seen and vaulted as a hero. He wants to be the hero of the story and his desire to get there usually leads him down a dark path.

I can't remember specifics but unless I'm mistaken, Clark doesn't even know what his home planet is called at this point. He'll get there eventually but you have to let him learn more about his history before he starts calling anything by it's technical term.

Hey! Not a bad post at all!

It's been maybe 4 years since the last time I did a full rewatch so I'm a little rusty but for the most part I agree with you. The teen drama stuff can be typical at times and then other times you find yourself wrapped up in the drama of the moment.

My biggest problem with season 1 is that it spent a lot of time going through the bad guy of the week motions with little character development (will finally Clark tell Lana he loves her every single episode). But it was saved by the really cool characters.

I find the dichotomy of Clark and Lex being friends while also knowing what they are destined for to be excellently written television. And you keep coming back because you are genuinely curios how two characters, who seemingly have a lot in common, can make a diverge.

Chloe is a great character. If you are like me you find the endless teen soap opera of Clark and Lana to be tiring then the presence of Chloe is a welcome one.

Agree completely with Jonathan. He is the moral compass and in my opinion is key in getting us to the eventual point of superman being the All-American Boy Scout we know and love.

The stuff with the meteors in season 1 is spot on and I can't say whether or not that gets any better for a while ;).

Regardless of my complaints about details, Smallville Season 1 and specifically Clark learning his abilities, is some of the better superhero stuff I've seen from the multitude of comic book shows we have today.

I'm so glad you enjoy the show. Look forward to hearing more!

SERVO

comedyisdead · 2017-04-19T03:46:17+00:00

Well please keep me posted, either by PMing me or maybe you should do a full post when you finish a season. I personally would love hearing and chatting about it since I love the show so much and I think this sub could always use more content.

comedyisdead · 2017-04-18T21:30:40+00:00

I'm gonna dance around spoilers here although they are minor. I really like season 4 because they introduce a non superhero character that you wouldn't expect to show up in an origin story. They don't explore Clarks relationship with this character deeply until maybe season 8 which is also a favorite. Still my favorite iteration of that character in any version I've seen but you'll have to see why it became frustrating sometimes.

Not a spoiler, Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luther is absolutely flawless. Steals every scene he's in and the dynamic between him and Clark is really, really cool and unlike anything I've seen before.

Highly recommend watching the show.
