Wayne & The Lopen WoBs The Difference WoB: Spoiler Questioner If Wayne, The Lopen, and Vasher were all in the same room, who would Vasher punch first? Brandon Sanderson Lopen. No filter. The difference between Wayne and Lopen is: Wayne can read a room. Lopen’s not so good at that. Dragonsteel 2022 (Nov. 14, 2022) Edited October 14, 2024 by Treamayne Link/SPAG 3
+Lewis Nethur He/Him Posted October 14, 2024 Posted October 14, 2024 Obviously Wayne. He was killin folks and feeling bad what's for about it when the Lopin was still figurin' on the ideal of protectin' people afore themselves! They do both possess severe deficits though. 2
Duxredux he/him Posted October 14, 2024 Posted October 14, 2024 Even without looking at the results I would expect more people to vote for Wayne because his character arc has already finished with a bang. We know just about everything Brandon wants us to know about Wayne and he has all of his loose ends tidied up including lifting the little toothpaste artist out of poverty. In contrast, The Lopen is midway through his character arc and still has plenty of potential to set off an even bigger explosion than Wayne. Basically, the best of the Lopen is yet to come, and so this isn't as much of an apples to apples comparison as you might think. As it is, Wayne would get my vote in large measure because I've seen his story and I know just how hard he tried to make restitution for a mistake he made as a teenager that gave in to peer pressure from his friends. It's hard not to admire someone who tried to make things right his entire life even though he felt like he never could and fell forever short. It's never outright stated as such, but I just had the thought that perhaps a significant factor that he moved to Elendel was so that he could continue to deliver his payments in person to Allriandre Durkel after she was came to the Elendel to get an education from the money. I think we're supposed to assume that Wayne's relocation was because of Wax and Ranette, but... now I wonder. Wayne has been given far more depth at this point than The Lopen, so again, not an apples to apples comparison. 3
reisleK she/her Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 Wayne. I adore him so much, from how he struggled with the guilt, to his humor and hat wearing.
