frozenpeas posted:Superman - I had a dream about flying - I wish I could fly. Superman and Batman were both originally a.) for children and b.) frequently offensive by modern standards. I could compare Denna to the love interest in the Nolan films as well, but I'll try to resist. As far as this series goes, I'm waiting for the third book before I start making judgments. Biographical criticism can only take you so far.

pakman posted:I really hope it's not a happy ending. After the way it's been built up that he fails spectacularly, and it turns into some kind of "he gets the girl and they live happily ever after" I will flip a table or something. Look at him now, he can't do magic and he got the crap beat out of him (but he still took a perfect step at the end of WMF), it just has to be a tragedy. It seems to me like the third book is heading toward him graduating, meeting Bast, killing the king, and then getting into some sort of scrap with the Chandrian where he likely takes one of them out (maybe the king in question is a Chandrian, for the purposes of narrative economy). During all of this he loses Denna somehow, damages his name, and then heads off to the inn to nurse his wounds, at which point we return to present day where he reveals he is ready to get back into the fight. KVOTHE WILL RETURN IN...

I'm not totally down with the Neil Gaiman "not your bitch" train, myself. If someone publishes in installments, I think they've made an implicit promise to actually finish the series. If Rothfuss or Martin had said, "here's part one of an epic fantasy series; there will be no part two," I wouldn't buy it, and I don't think a lot of other people would either. Obviously if it doesn't sell or their publisher goes out of business or if they die or something, then yes, I understand. And if Martin wants to watch football and Rothfuss wants to play Fallout 4, I'm not going to freak out. But that said, I don't think it's unreasonable for fans to ask how the project is going when they've essentially put a down payment on it already.

StonecutterJoe posted:Kvothe gazed longingly at his Flow Hive. It was a hive that was not entirely a hive, not entirely honey, not entirely bees, but a combination of these things, more and yet...yet somehow less. Less in the tapping of the hive, less in the pour of the honey, less in the spring-evening buzzing that rose to his ears like a mandolin submerged under running stream water, struggling to play out a single heartfelt note. A note that said sad. It was a buzzing of three parts.

I think WMF is the basically the Matrix Reloaded: it is possible that a sufficiently skilled creator could turn all of those narrative promises and setups into something really effective, but there's a huge amount of anticipation, and a risk of some seriously nasty backlash if you manage to gently caress it up. I'd go listen to MBMBAM instead too, if I were up against something like that.

I think he's gonna finish the book, but probably not until his son is in college. You gotta have priorities, and what's more important than raising your child?
