Ain't that just the Amazon series (I'm halfway through wot and actually enjoying it bc I'm a goon so I'm not watching it. Don't want my mental image spoiled. Like a goon)

I tried to read a Shannara book but I started with the third one and like one chapter in the main cast themselves started being like 'wow this is exactly the same as the first book!' so I stopped reading

Are they still just searching for the sword over and over or whatever? Even mother loving dragon ball had the good sense to be like 'we had a few good searches now finding the things is trivially easy and covered with a time skip'

Is zelazny the amber guy? I remember reading the first one of those and thinking all the women were exceptionally flat and lifeless but it was a long time ago

precision posted:(that said, he WAS a golden age sci fi writer so his stuff does skew a bit towards "cool guys and the girls that swoon after them", i just don't think it's nearly as much a problem as in his peers' work) Maybe! It was like 2010 and I'd found some 'the greatest list of the greatest fantasy series' list as decided on by reddit so I'm not sure what the contemporaneous writing was like

DicktheCat posted:All I remember was some questionable gender politics (dudes can't do magic bc it makes the crazy evil, bc men suck, ooh bad men with no self control or agency to not be evil!) with the wizard ladies. Iirc it's not that men are inherently bad it's that they can only tap the male half of the Magic Source and that got booby trapped and tainted during Historic Events
