  1. Does this mean you would love it if the movie had had a final scene where Rey and Jar Jar get into a romantic relationship? That would have subverted everything you were expecting but that does not make it good. While thankfully TLJ did not do anything that crazy it still completely lost me on what I was supposed to be feeling. Am I suppost to be interested and suspicious of the deeper meanings behind the characters their history and their motivations? No? Then why have the characters look into their histories motivations or motivations(as we see with Rey and Luke's flashbacks)? Are we supposed to be exited wondering what new twist is going to be pulled on us? No? Then why keep doing it but providing no foreshadowing or background info. It is like what happens in the movie is governed entirely by what the director wants and not by has no obligation to explain himself to the audience so they have some idea of how every twist if being pulled off or why. Subversion is fine in general, although problematic in star wars, but any media should have to meet a base standard of consistency. TLJ did not do that.
  2. Bloodmaking is a different power. It is almost certainly more extensive. Also we are talking about different problems here. If you were to put a barbed arrow into a bloodmaker you could still slow them down until that got removed because the body's healing processes have no method of expelling the bolt. If your body has no natural method of combating the poison then the healing will keep you alive until you run out of fuel but it might not fix the underlying problem that is causing the damage.
  3. This sounds much more like he summoned a spren from Braize not that he physically went there. Does this mean what I think it means? Have we IDed the person responsible for making the black sphere?
  4. Raises eyebrows. How do you manage that?
  5. She is not MJ as we know her and that is a good thing because if I have to watch her get rescued again. Sigh.
  6. Sniffs. Spidy is gone now.
  7. Wax is going to be retired in this book.
  8. Making one good looking cg frame of a movie is easy. Doing so for an entire movie is hard. I also doubt they want to show their absolute best scene right now since the casual viewer is not yet paying attention to star wars at all. All of them? Those Lightsabers were inquisitor cheat mode as a way of quickly killing more skilled opponents(I am going to pretend the flying thing never happened). It also makes sense for Rey to choose a weapon that conforms better to her fighting style. Parts of the actual fight scene were good(even if the movie was awful).
  9. That would have given the ghostbloods confirmation of her Radiant status(which they may or may not have had). Also the poison was in her bloodstream. Sucking in stormlight may have kept her on her feat but I have no idea how that would have healed her. Shallan stops alcohol poisoning like this but alcohol is a simple molecule that is easy to break down. We don't know what Kabsal uses but if he was smart it would be something that the body can't normally break down making stormlight much less useful.
  10. What? Possible but less likely. Gavilar might be arrogant but I seriously doubt he was ever stupid.
  11. This is the question is it not. What does Gavilar know about his two "friends"?
  12. Liquid rubber is a thing.
  13. I recommend rubber.
  14. This leads to some interesting questions. If he knows that they are Heralds then he clearly does not share goals with the sons of honor. If he does know then he is being manipulated by them. I also wonder how Navani does not recognize braize(Kaladin does) and what she is going to do when she gets spotted.
  15. Sure but not nearly enough to counter her weight.
  16. We are talking about a mistborn v radiant mach up. If we want to go this wrought it would technically only be fair to give the radiant some fabrail tec. Even if we don't higher level radiants have armor that will insulate them from the effect.
  17. I personally would not orginize it like that at all. Who teaches the fundamentals of armed and unarmed combat for example. What about scholarship? Many Radiants also are involved in art, diplomacy and science. Not every Windrunner is going to be a soldier and some Lightweavers will want to be able to kick your butt as apposed to doing art. Instead it should probably be organized more like a normal collage with both potential and current Radiants taking classes in a verity of subjects and skills. Their may be some order specific classes but that would be no different from higher level course requirements.
  18. I don't know but it needs to happen!
  19. Bridge four did not just include Windrunners. Also the point of this name is to imprint the idea of service to others(that is why I came up with it). Also I now need my Dalinar as Dumbledore Hogwarts fanfic!
  20. That is not exactly true. They can control abrasion or friction so they can render part of themselves sticky and turn quite quickly(also even figure skaters can change directions more rapidly then you seem to believe).
  21. Thanks
  22. I am currently have trouble finding a WoB number so that I can cite an appropriate WoB for a page. Can anyone give me the run down on correct citation methods?
