It's also mentioned in whatever that first city is, but only internal monologue and I forget the tone.

once the anime is popular enough they'll make live action movies of the anime seasons. i could do without the bubbles of evil. don't recall them doing much plot wise other then killing an aux character

Unfortunately a lack of emotion is a platonic ideal so that poo poo is used rather than interesting character rhetoric or poise or w/e literary thing. I'm hoping they just ignore the braid pulling and skirt smoothing and have the actors use overt facial expressions.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:Rand is approached by the Council of Nine (well only 8 at the time) after he kills Sammael. Mattin Stepaneos, the former king, disappeared (he was hiding in the White Tower) so they offer the Laurel Crown to Rand. They tell Rand that he saved the city from starvation by continuously sending grain from Tear and that the people would not oppose him ruling. He takes the crown, which they rename the Crown of Swords. still killed a noble

Faile and Elayne would have been fine if they didn't get hundreds of pages of PoV in 9/10/11 with little to no development. The difference between faile in WH vs start of KoD is the motivations of those around her. Elayne went from entitled to pregnant entitled. Gawain is bad too so I think Morgase is just a bad mom (or would lini have been charged with Gawain too?)

Sab669 posted:I'm not sure I agree with that, it wasn't some egotistical "I must be the one who reforges The Tower" but rather "It needs to be done so I will do it". And as far as her power goes - honestly that's why I liked her at the start of the series. Everyone else is all ,"wah I don't want to go mad" or "wah I don't want to be able to loving talk to wolves" or "wah I don't want to be a wizard *tugs braid" but Egwene was all "gently caress yea sign me the gently caress up"

She was also not being ms etiquette for the low blood my favorite Nynaeve moment was before dumping lan off in the borderlands she mentioned about how tired he must be (or something) from riding a horse for so long then being ridden.

Gnoman posted:I always thought it was interesting that the Aiel were already "a remnant of a remnant" at the start of the series. I don't think anything was done with that unless I missed something, but it could have been an interesting treatment of prophecy. huh i believe it was the above spoiler will survive to the fourth age if the prophecy was fulfilled. there are no more og aiel disregarding the gypsies I believe there are 6 different prophecies of the dragon and that was in theirs.

i read it as he's the dark dragon. Lots of "hey Mr. Dark one I know me and your philosophy king have done this a lot but I'm gonna skip him this time around" maybe incel dragon since he always looses to the chad lewis

I dunno there'd be no ambiguity whether Rand is mad or not if it's more then a voice.

Gnoman posted:While that is true, it doesn't account for the fact that the rebel AS start finding candidates in massive numbers as soon as Egwene declares that all restrictions are gone. All of a sudden, they go from a White Tower that's mostly empty to an expectation that they'll have to reopen areas that haven't been used in centuries. All from the lands that were supposedly "culled". they want the young and impressionable for their cult regardless of what that does to power. Easier to recruit to the black.

You don't need much weight to cut through bone in the kitchen tbh. Raw bone is pretty soft which is why dogs can eat them but not cooked. I can't imagine any type of sword would have trouble aside from fencing... which may not have an edge? You'd sharpen after each use ofc. Maybe it's just because I use japanese waterstones  but I also don't think swords from around there are made to primarily stab.

The black tower was generally handled like poo poo. The entire plot of it was just dropped until Sanderson. I guess that happens when the antagonist may or may not be someone.

My big issue with Sandersons super boy is the lack of fatigue. Making a gateway is super duper tiring and i don't see how being weak in the power mitigates that. Back in the jordan days the person who was a fantastic shield holder still couldn't do that forever.

The motivation for the male band was breaking mitigation and being able to have age of legend Ying and yang ability. The Adam or whatever was a forced circle, which jives with the domination and males always having control with a circle of two.

at the end of AMoL they wanted that old rear end Aes Sedai to be and in the prequal I believe it's shown that she can hurt/lie so probably never took the oaths. The oaths/tower will probably end anyway regardless of who's at the seat. Black tower and Seachan and all not being bound.

Eighties ZomCom posted:Well it is a plot point that the Tower Aes Sedai used sisters that were newly raised to help capture Rand because they didn't have the ageless face yet. It's possible that it may also take some time to wear off after being unbound. i don't think it was planned out very well. Just a plot device for the tar valon escape for min and co

^^^ Galad is cool as he's an actual lawful good with all the negatives that come with it. Invalid Validation posted:It’s also around the time they stopped using ~The Ways~ and I’m super bummed it was all but forgotten. Having fixed waygates would have made traveling around much less of a deus ex machina that the gateways end up becoming. forgotten enough to destroy a main city

Torrannor posted:Can somebody tell me why Moiraine did not immediately zero in on Rand being the Dragon Reborn. When Gitara made her foretelling, announcing his birth, it was the day of the Battle of the Shining Walls. The last day of the Aiel War, where the forces of the Aiel and the coalition against them had their final battle on the slopes of Dragonmount. Now, which of these sides has female fighters? And which of the three boys very much does not look like a typical Two Rivers person, but instead looks more like an Aiel?? One glance should have told Moiraine who the Dragon Reborn was. pretty sure she did but TDO's actions in the 2 rivers gave incentive to take the others. or the prophesy did not make him being aiel specific but I don't recall the prophesy well
