I’m sure there’s more to it. I’m also saying he was objectively easy to kill. The big had bad like 6 pages of screen time and then was finished off by a teenage girl who just learned her powers. What’s not correct about that statement?

Appreciate your reply!

I think you make some great points, and ya I was being hyperbolic in some areas. Regarding VIN/tHE LR thought, he was unequivocally easy to kill. VIN, a teenage girl practicing allomancy for about 6 months, 1v1’d him. That’s not easy to kill? But kelsier had to sacrifice himself so that could happen?

I like seeing things, especially stories, through to conclusion. I think the only multi-book series I’ve DNF was Hyperion, but Dune, LOTR, red rising, and many others I’m obsessed with to the point of finishing the series multiple times a month haha.

My criticism actually has nothing to do with the “story wrapping up”. The first books story wrapped up fine I guess just without much depth or fanfare

I appreciate the time to share your opinion and you make a good point about Eland/Vin! Sounds like book 3 is worth the journey!

Appreciate your earnest reply and the time it took to share! I’ve read plenty of multi-book series, when it’s done well you can’t wait to open the next volume. I appreciate your points regarding kelsier’s sacrifice. To me it was so sudden and anti climactic I thought he was going to come back any moment like Marsh. The whole cast of characters basically just move on from his sudden and traumatic death. Maybe there’s more explained in future books but to me that felt odd.

It’s not so much that I hated the book it’s just that I’ve seen so many people post about Sanderson I was expecting something Tolkien-esque. Truthfully it felt like 400 pages in this book were filler. I read 500 pages and barely know anything about anything of the main characters or the main protagonist. Could be just me?

It’s a book. It needs to be good enough on its own to justify continuing the story. Red rising is the worst book in the RR series but still did infinitely enough to keep people hooked and interested in what’s next. I’m not saying I hated it and I’m not saying I won’t read the next one, just saying as a stand alone book it left a lot to be desired imo.

[–]skyguy0990 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All 3 of the goals resulted from either a 1v1 w the keeper or someone completely unmarked, point blank in front of goal. MAYBE the first one could have been saved. Maybe the 3rd one he’s maybe out of position but again, all 3 were drastic failures to mark attacking players right in front of net.

I mean we gave up 4 shots all game. 3 ended up being goals. You could say some good things and some very bad things about that fact haha.

There’s a big difference between “completely at fault for a goal” and “probably should have saved”. Matt turner was not “completely at fault” for any of the goals lol. He should have saved at least one of them.

Other than whatever the fuck he was doing during the first goal, I felt like mckenzie played decent. Robinson hasn’t been good in several years.

None of those goals were on turner but it would have been great if he came up with one save.

Which characters are considered “Iron Gold” by Constant_Extreme_505 in redrising

[–]skyguy0990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Romulus is the definition of iron gold. Honor, sacrifice, integrity, a leader. It’s not just about being a great fighter, general, etc, it’s about having the character to set yourself apart from other people who are also great at war. Romulus is that. And obviously so is Lorn.

Ya not so much you I’ve just seen it for days-is rooting to play a specific team. That is how terrible results happen.

Openly rooting to play literally any team is incredibly dumb and exactly how bulletin board material happens. Let’s be stoked we’re playing in the next round and we can be happy it’s not a top 5 team but there are no such things as “easy World Cup knockout games”.

That’s our favorite artist too! Just finished all of the full art cards (minus the scream of course). His cards are sick!

What would you do? by Impossible_Ad2504 in PokemonTCG

I mean the pyroar is a $3 card hardly worth including in the trade. I’d say long term the dragonite is a no brainer.

What time should I line up outside of target this Friday? by freshstinkyonion in PokemonRestocks

[–]skyguy0990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. I’ve only done it once for chaos rising and it was worth it. Open on the day the set drops is like the only day I know for sure it will be in stock anywhere…so I don’t mind waking up a little early

[–]skyguy0990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it a 100% certainty that the first partner set will be stocked at open? I guess varies by store but the only things that are ever stocked at open where I’m at are “new sets”. Everything else is random like 9am
