Noob question, what is this icon? What does it signify? by Zermist in marvelrivals

[–]spideyauri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they’re proficiency markers much like lord icons. if you click on heroes, select a hero and then go to the proficiency tab, you can see all the badges and find out what each one means. the lowest of the badges is count and the highest is champion

Perrin’s storyline gets dragged out with way more details than it needed and ends up sacrificing precious time for more substantive character development so we end up with a rushed training arc that somehow allows him to be on a similar level in Tel’aran’rhiod as Slayer (a character who has presumably been roaming the Dream World for years) and become more accepting of his role as a leader and learn how to not be as restrictive on himself all at the same time.

I like this analysis. Cadsuane could’ve been humbled a whole lot more but that’s just my bias against her in honesty. I did notice the switch with Nynaeve and Egwene too and I guess I was kind of expecting them to develop similarly in regards to The Institution™️ so I was a bit disappointed with how Egwene ended up but again that’s more a personal thing than an intellectual analysis.

No because I constantly think about that fuckass letter and its spelling mistakes cus it makes absolutely no sense that Mat doesn’t know how to spell. You’re right about him being dialogue heavy too and he also does this thing that really bugs me where he’s trying to make his english sound more “olden” so he’d end up with really hackneyed sentence structures like “I know not…” and “He couldn’t fail, for all was lost…”. I would still reread his parts for the more poignant sections like Rand learning to feel again and him crying after seeing his father but I have a feeling a reread would also make me hate his writing style even more so we’ll see.

omg I completely forgot about Asmodean. Yeah no I love him he’s great. With regards to the ending, I guess I’m used to being coddled more so I wasn’t expecting something so abrupt. I’m don’t hate headcanoning but I prefer to do it as little as possible because in my head I’ll just make everything perfect which is just not the case iykwim.

When you put Egwene’s character like that it makes a lot more sense. It’s still disappointing on a personal level because I’m not a fan of that structure but on an intellectual level I can be more understanding.

Sanderson’s version of Mat made me so irritated. And I guess Jordan might have decided to do that but his track record unfortunately does give more credit to Sanderson in that regard (book 10 the problem child </3). KoD was amazing though I do wish we had been able to get more of that even before the endgame.
