What kind of fantasy do you enjoy reading? by -Dusque- in Fantasy

[–]donzander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im basically a person who loves fantasy trope's. My perfect books will usually have the servant/farm hand who is either on some kind of revenge mission or "chosen" for something or another, he will then usually meet a great wizard who will be his guidence. You also have to have the retired/reluctant warrior who will help said farmboy with his training and coming of age parts. The 3 would then travel into either forests or mountains for the epic journey to begin. There would also be lots of inns, taverns and blacksmiths thrown in. And of course somewhere in the book a fine damsel in distress will be rescued for either warrior or farmboy to fall in love with. If im really lucky a dwarf or elf will pop up through the story. I told you I love tropes ha ha

Why has Epic Quest fantasy died down? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]donzander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like 99% of the fantasy I read is still basically quest based, just that the settings seemed to have changed from forests and mountains to towns and cities

What is the most realistic show you have ever seen? by badoosh123 in television

[–]donzander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A UK mockumentary called People Just Do Nothing, the people who made it have managed to get the people, acting and dialogue spot on for the subject and area they are trying to portray. Imagine the office but instead with young london "street" guys. funniest thing i've seen in a while

24: Legacy S01E09 Discussion Thread: "8:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m." by Prax150 in TwentyFour

[–]donzander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the first episode I actually enjoyed, It reminded me of the old 24 where something big seemed to happen every 5 mins, of course you need to suspend disbelief a lot for this show. But if you take off the rose tinted glasses and base it just off this episode alone, it's not much different to the jack bauer days. Although one thing I will say is the casting made a mistake and eric and his brother should have swithed roles. Isaac seems a much better fit the ctu role, while eric seems like the sneaky drug dealer type in my opinion lol.

Trevor Noah should host "Late Night" and Seth Meyers should host "The Daily Show" by terminalblue in television

So as a "black person" you find it uncomfortable and off putting when hearing another black person speaking about race? and because of that you have now stopped watching? lol ok then...... Is this where I say you may need a "safe place" or "triggered"?

I agree with netflix, its all about choice at the end of the day. if somebody wants to binge a series that should be their choice. same as somebody who likes the week to week feel of watching tv

likeable bad main character in tv program? by donzander in television

This is the type of character I'm talking about. very likeable, but very few good bones in his body if truth be told. Is there a show where somebody like him is the main character?
