Also the dagger Matt found in the cursed city is also cursed and now Matt is a cursed dummy because it should be even more obviously a curse if you live in a world where curses exist.

Seriously- if you live in a world were curses are a real thing and you go into a cursed city that's obviously cursed, and the Wizard Bodyguard™ tells you not to touch anything- you gotta be a special type of dumb to loot anything from there...

Mat’s the funny one, not the smart one. It remains to be seen which of the Two Rivers gang is that second thing. I guess Nynaeve for now?

In the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the legendary wizard-king of the bygone age of wonders is the High Lord Kevin. Kevin Landwaster, in full. I am convinced this is the absolute pinnacle of this trend.

MarcusSA posted:Yeah for a second I thought he had done it but once voldamort showed up it was pretty clear he didn’t do it. See, I'm still not convinced! I know it's meant to be interpreted that way, but I think the show writers could twist it up a bit. I teared up over the little girl. I like how Perrin is finding some solace in the Tinker Grandma's beliefs system. I could see him taking well to that whole life and philosophy, but he's a major character and loving off to join the hippie nomads doesn't seem to jive with that. What's up with the wolves? I remember enough of the books I kinda read over a decade ago (the first 3, maybe?) that I know how some stuff is going to maybe play out, but the show is doing a really good job of making me a) doubt my memories and b) doubt my predictions. Edit: poo poo, the dagger's cursed? So the story about Owyn might just be a big red herring for the audience? Huh. my cat is norris fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Nov 30, 2021 |

I like the other characters just fine but I’m not sure I care for soulless Anakin very much. I dunno maybe he will grow on me but for now he’s the worst of the bunch.

way better than the first three eps. They should try letting Perrin say a line or two maybe, or even do a facial expression beyond furrowing his brow. In all honesty I don't super care for how the magic looks but it's not bad enough to matter. wish we could have spent a little longer not constantly traveling so we could learn a little more about our ostensible protagonists and not their setting but I have more faith that'll happen now. Finally I get that the show wants me to be interested in nynaeve and lan but unfortunately the dynamic between him and moiraine is far more magnetic and interesting on screen. Amazon X-ray is bar none the stupidest addition a streaming service has yet made and they ought to at least put the animated shorts in as standalone videos you can select like a trailer. I don't think lore codices were a thing the tv watching experience needed but they should at least make it intuitively accessible. Valentin fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Nov 30, 2021 |

Virgin Rand vs the Chad Perrin friend of random wolves I'm assuming the wolves chased the Chad Perrin since they were trying to get them safety ?
