Nothing like "cleverly subverting" expectation than by copying a famous 40 year old scene Cannoli Send a noteboard - 17/02/2025 04:44:13 AM

I remember the Seanchan plotline only as one giant nonsensical mess, what exactly are you referring to?

In the books, Highlord Turak sees Rand's blade and engages him in a swordfight because he wants to see what it means to be a blademaster on this side of the ocean.

In the show, he says the line “let us see what is required to earn the Heron blade on this side of the ocean” and is promptly slaughtered alongside all of his retinue by Rand channeling the One Power.


Except for the slave. Because, progressive intersectionality. IDK why they didn't just play Rand off from the scene with The Raiders' March. If Disney-Lucasfilm isn't going to sue over the punchline, I can't see them getting fussed about borrowing the music...

Sure. It's not spicy. But it makes the show look positively 1:1 with the books. Ghavrel - 16/02/2025 01:12:21 AM 18 Views
I can't seem to remember many details - must've scrubbed them from my memory. Legolas - 15/02/2025 08:10:43 PM 24 Views

It wasn't clever subversion. It was a funny joke. Also, that's an old movie now, you geezer. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/02/2025 08:06:40 AM 5 Views
