  1. I like this, and not only because I'm from Sweden. Oh, and Manu Bennet is your Teft. I have him as Dalinar :-)
  2. He is awesome. I really enjoy Jeremy Jahns as well.
  3. Ah, the Oscars. I would take them a lot more seriously if they accepted that genre films can be just as great as drama movies based on real events. GotG2, Ragnarok and Last Jedi could all have done with a Best Film nom in my opinion.
  4. Ah, thats a shame :-( My problem does pale in comparision to yours.
  5. ...is that it is too big! I have an entire shelf dedicated to Cosmere books, but I can't keep Oathbringer on there, for fear that it might collapse (its not that stable). Brandon writes so much that it is hard to collect all his books properly. Anyone else having these kinds of troubles?
  6. I 100% agree about Amaram. I think that would have added incredibly much to the book.
  7. Well, its good that he ended up being pleased with Skyward. I still hope this year can be used to clean the plate of a lot of stuff. If Skyward gets two books written this year, and W&W gets finished off, that is good. Hopefully he can manage to do something about Rithmatist or Alcatraz as well, during these seven months.
  8. Mraize hides aluminum guns from Scadrial in his slippers, and murders the real Ash with these. The "Ash" we think we know is WalDo, the worldhopping Kandra, currently aligned with the Ghostbloods. We learn this in Ashs flashback book, of course.
  9. Thanks for the information! I just started on Gardens of the Moon, so I might get to Stonewielder someday. Apologizes for derailing this interesting thread. Please keep on discussing the OPs points, guys :-)
  10. Probably one of the normal reasons for backstabbing your BFFs: power-hunger or disagreements over important things. Or Gavilar just missed church once.
  11. My five cents: Oathbringer is and isn´t a disappointment. SA is such a huge series, with a lot going on. Some parts are bound to disappoint some fans. Its unavoidable (is unavoidable a word btw?). Personally, I wasn´t really happy with how Amaram was handled. I would have liked to see more Ghootsbloods (specifically Mraize). I hoped to get to know Aesudan. I would have liked for Axies to show up. Graves was killed far too quickly. Adolins arc wasn´t entirely satisfactory. I was more bothered by Lift than I have ever been before. The explanation for the Recreance felt weak. But at the same time, I am very pleased with a lot of stuff in the book. It was incredibly entertaining, from start to finish. Szeth was better than in the previous two. The entire sequence in the Kholinar Palace was great. Killing Elhokar, Eshonai and Jezrien were good decisions. Dalinars arc was beautiful, and does touch me on a personal level. Kaladins arc was great too. I loved the lore we got. Parts of the final battle in Thaylenah were awesome. It was funny. The Unmade are nice. Odium was great as a character. Will we always be pleased with what Brandon does with the Stormlight Archive? No. Will some fans stop following the series because it moves in a direction they don´t like. Yes, most likely. In the end, it depends on what you care about, as a fan. Was Oathbringer a disappointment? Dunno. There is no right, and no wrong. (off-topic, but I have to know: @Ammanas, is that Warcraft Greymane in your sig, or another Greymane?)
  12. Then we just think really differently :-) I count everything and anything.
  13. Both GotG volumes, the first Avengers, Ragnarok and arguably Civil War gives it a run for its money, I think. Logan is kinda overrated...
  14. It's awesome. One of the best in the MCU. Shuri and Killmonger were standouts. Andy Serkis is great too, as is Martin Freeman, and Danai Guiria and Winstone Duke, and Chadwick... everyone is great. It is great. See it. Now.
  15. I'll accept it as well. Might I give you this man: Click for Kaladin
  16. I still think its far-fetched. Chanas madness might be related to her obedient nature, and thus she might not want to go back on deals, so I´d give you that. But Ishar and Kalak both seems to be in on the "killing Gavilar idea" and as such, one of them could do the deed. Kalak is kind of useless, but I do think that he is able to give Szeth a simple command/pay another assassin. Ishar could defenitely do it.
  17. Wouldn't it just be better for everyone involved to just hire/ask Chana (if Chana is Liss) to kill Gavilar. If Nale doesn't want to do it, Ishar or Kalak could (or they could just kill Gavilar themselves). The point is, that if Nale, Kalak, Chana and Ishar agreed that Gavilar needed to die, there had to be a simpler way than creating a very convoluted plot which would lead the Parshendi to assassinate Gavilar.
  18. I like the idea that the number of - in their names hint toward how sentient they are. The three mindless ones have no -, the next group have one, and the last group (consisting solely of BAM) has two. There are a couple of problems with this though, but I do think that the - are significant. Regarding the locations, one hanging out in Iri seems logical. I can also see one if them (Chemoarish perhaps) be inside the Everstone. If one of them is on Aimia, I think it is imprisoned and guarded.
  19. He does kind of hijack the Kholin Mastermind Plan For Effectively Slaughtering Sadeas so yeah, stupid move. Then again, he didn't really understand what consequences his challenge to Amaram would bring, so wecan't blame him too much.
  20. I actually think its Skyward 2. He wanted to write a trilogy back to back, and mentioned that he might do that with Skyward. But after Apocalypse Guard, I think that he is worried about it not working, which is why he calls it a secret project.
  21. What normally happens with a secret project? Well, sooner or later it becomes a non-secret project.
  22. His movie death sucked. The movies could have been so much more.
  23. Or he just went through Shadesmar :-)
