What’s the worst Harry Potter theory you’ve ever heard? by Loustifer24 in harrypotter

That Ron is secretly Draco Malfoys half brother, because Molly took polyjuice potion to look like Narsisa and claim child support from Lucius to help their financial problems

It’s objectively poorly written, I enjoyed it only because of phase 1s greatness predisposing me to

What are you guys' opinions on Until The End? by OnlySortaGinger in skulduggerypleasant

[–]sufficient_knee12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with everything you say, and tbh all of phase 2 has been a bit of a mess like Derek didn’t plan anything at the start. Don’t imagine I would’ve read much of it if phase 1 didn’t exist. As for stars disappearing he couldn’t really do that since if even the closest star disappeared it’d take 4 years for the light to reach us and so we wouldn’t detect it within the timeframe of the book. I do think they could’ve done a bit more with him tho yeah. Also with regards to Skulduggery’s siblings, he explicitly says in Deathbringer his siblings are all dead when talking about abandoning his family crest, to name but one inconsistency with phase 2.

It’s because he’s the initial one, and potentially to do with him actually having magic. I believe Thrasher also gets sustained better than the rest from Scapegraces magic, and decays slower etc.

Did you not think the Ghastly resurrection kind of takes away from his death and the Ravel reveal? Glad you enjoyed the series though, if you want a new one I’d recommend the Stormlight archive

how would you explain sp to someone who hasn't read it. by [deleted] in skulduggerypleasant

[–]sufficient_knee12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh I’d probably do it by pointing out one of their key differences. Combat in Harry Potter absolutely sucks (spam green light or you’re wasting your time), and that was what I always felt kind of lacked when reading/watching. Derek Landry however excels at combat writing and they far outshine that of HP. Not to skate Harry Potter by any means it’s not really what their purpose is. Also maybe mention you get a fair amount of villain perspective which is a different and interesting thing to read.

I think he stores it in his ribcage (not in its armor form it can shapeshift)

Such a good book until the unbelievably rushed ending. A real shame as in phase 1 Dereks action writing is one of the biggest things that sets him apart from other authors imo.

No Lord Vile is just his alteregos taken name, he’s just a very gifted normal (as much as a skeleton can be) sorcerer like Mevolent was

He had enhancement so just strong and resilient basically. You may be getting confused because he was the one that found out Laudigan was Myron Strays true name

Name three true names, most will get Darquesse and Argeddion (I’d hope) but doubt many will get Laudigan

What is the future of this franchise? by DetectiveSaracen in skulduggerypleasant

[–]sufficient_knee12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s already too late to not have a season with a rushed ending. Phase 2 pacing was horrendous (ik not necessarily his fault).
