Gravity Cant Apple posted:I read Wheel of Time like last year and I've already forgotten most of what happens. Had to look at the wiki to remember who the Sharans even were, lol. yeah a few years after the tv series crashes no one will remember wot, just like asoiaf, but new generations will still continue to read lotr and hobbit lotr and hobbit are by no means perfect, but they are the closest thing fantasy genre has to literature

indiscriminately posted:No, it's tedious. It discourages actually interesting discussion. No one who reads this thread is unaware that the series is delayed, delayed, delayed. Seeing the shitposts causes me to sit back and reflect, what am I doing with my life that I choose to spend a moment of thought processing the sentence "Gurm has been working on Winds of Winter hard lately by farting nonstop for months." What a drat waste! lmao

Collateral posted:Thats such a shame, the other, more faithful, adaptations have been hit and miss. Pratchett's humour tends to be very hard to translate due to word play and turn of phrase pratchett's works are unfilmable. the stuff that makes the books good doesn't work on screen

pseudanonymous posted:The great man theory of history is not imo very accurate. Newton was beaten to the punch on publishing the Calculcus, there's a reason we use Leibniz notation, and Darwin only published because his cousin or nephew threatened to publish virtually the same theory of evolution. egypt had house slaves, and sometimes they used war prisoners as slaves, but other than that they didn't have slaves. the pyramid workers weren't all professionals, most of them were peasants paying their taxes with work. and egypt definitely didn't do any stalin-like deportations of whole nations

TERFherder posted:If you are referring to Ender's Game, I'd disagree with this. Other people claimed it was an apologia for Hitler, which Card denied, saying he set up Ender to be the complete opposite of Hitler. Card wants to talk about the role of "intention" and moral guilt, but other people are digging into the whole "Superman" and "Genocide" thing going on. It's an interesting discussion. in the show someone kicked him between the legs a few times and it didn't affect him, so no balls i don't recall if the novelization went into specifics

Libluini posted:The only book of that series I've read was "Xenocide", and it was all about Ender's self-flagellation about how wrong it was to xenocide the bug aliens. Including conversations with the new bug queen he saved and brought to a hidden planet, to grow a new civilization in peace. did you gaslight the series overton window too?

TK-42-1 posted:You know they’d try and paint Valyria as some kind of Atlantis hyper magitek society that got done dirty by the proles and that the world is worse off for it rather than the disturbing oppressive regime it’s been hinted at being. Like the targs are outcasts because they’re not brutal enough or something and then they end up dominating and entire continent. yes they would that poo poo is popular now and it would be no different than making money from selling che shirts
