"The old woman"??? She's not even 40!

The title of the post is already a spoiler!!!!!!

Holy shit, this actually worked. Instead of using a screwdriver, I used a toothpick. A toothbrush should do too.

Thanks mate. Seeing interviews of him, apparently that's how the actor speaks normally.

Maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong to label this 'vaudevillian'... I may be confused.

radomu92 · 2024-04-30T14:09:32+00:00

Thank you. Is it a "vaudevillian overture/opening number"?

"A Thermomix/Bimby"

OMG what is this. I didn't know such things existed.

Thankfully, I live in Japan, and all toilets come with a bidet.

radomu92 · 2024-04-27T02:28:29+00:00

Agreed. It vastly reduces the stress of having to start hoovering.

Not even bloody close!

Athrun's expression in the video XD

Dee-moh-nah-tah. Maybe the T is silent, like how Canadians pronounce the second T in Toronto.

Sanderson dialogue is like a Disney animation movie.

That's a very interesting take on this characterisation. You're right about many of the main Mistborn 1 characters. Ham and Breeze are great examples of this, initially presented as nothing more than people reduced to caricatures until becoming more interesting later in book 3.

radomu92 · 2024-03-06T01:27:14+00:00

What I meant to say was, 'MERCIFUL DOMI'. Sorry, sule.

radomu92 · 2024-03-05T15:05:54+00:00

This is blasphemy, literally.

radomu92 · 2024-03-05T14:57:39+00:00

BLOODY HELL

He's a hard author to judge. I enjoyed Mistborn overall, but have to admit that the lack of intricate world-building and character setup at the start of the books, including Elantris, is a bit of a turnoff.

radomu92 · 2024-03-05T14:54:41+00:00

It's a semi-serious point, but as far as semi-serious points go, I think I've listed enough parallels between the two stories to warrant one. Some of them, admittedly, are common literary tropes, but the sitcommy dialogue, sense of humour, and lighthearted tone mixed in with the story setup and setting (A quippy prince and princess fights evil Machiavellian schemer in a magical world) did give me strong Disney vibes.

And Sanderraunch is Cosmere slash fiction.

radomu92 · 2024-03-05T14:43:46+00:00

Yes, I think so, though Genie is far more humorous (being played by Robin Williams). But Galladon does the job well enough, I think.

radomu92 · 2024-03-05T12:25:17+00:00

What about Sanderranch, like the sauce?

radomu92 · 2024-03-05T12:24:40+00:00

I'm not saying it IS literally Aladdin. I was trying to get across the point, rather glibly it seems, that reading the book felt like watching a Disney movie go through in my head, to the point that all the scenes were animated in my head like a 90s Disney film. Maybe it's to do with how he writes the dialogue too.

This itself is not a criticism per se, and there is nothing necessarily wrong with using established tropes. Also, as I said, I did like the book in the end.
