Re: "Name a Forsaken..." (edit) Skeeve the Great Send a noteboard - 17/10/2010 02:57:45 AM

It's exactly as people say here, they are cartoon villians: "I have you powerless in my grasp young Rand. You are handcuffed, blinded, gagged & shielded, so now I will tell you my master plan before I kill you!".
Name a Forsaken who has had the good guys as a direct captive for more than a couple of minutes. Or ANY WoT character, besides Rand, who has ever told people everything. In any event, they ARE realistic villains.

Be'lal. whose overwhelming greed for a sa'angreal (who you claim don't like that sort of thing) led him to pass the best opportunity in the series to kill rand. if he hadn't insisted on letting rand firstly take callandor to then take it from him and struck straight away without the whole laughable fighting scene then he would have had rand on a plate. but yeah he's the only one really


I would add the following:
-- Moggy, she could've just kill Elayne and Nynaeve instead of playing with them in Tanchico.
-- Aran'gar, s/he could've kill bunch of good guys in the camp easily, starting with Egwene.
-- Ishamael, he could've kill Mat and Perrin as soon as he figured out who the Dragon Reborn is. Granted, he didn't have them "captive", but at least he should've done the orders to kill them much much earlier, not in KoD.
-- Asmodean, he could've killed Mat, Lan or Moiraine much earlier in the Waste.
-- same goes to Lanfear, she had plenty of opportunities to level out the field on the good guys side.

Granted, that this is not exactly the point Cannoli was making, but in terms of "morons" among Forsaken - pretty much all of them.

Because no one reads the books before forming strong opinions about events in them. *NM* Dark Cannoli'gar - 16/10/2010 06:08:40 PM 266 Views
I have noticed that myself! *NM* Terez - 17/10/2010 08:07:49 PM 283 Views

Although I don't tend to agree with Cannoli, and he can be rude... he's certainly not moronic. *NM* Helene - 16/10/2010 08:12:58 PM 279 Views

Well it's not hypocritical for people who have called Cannoli for the same in the past RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/10/2010 10:23:42 PM 347 Views
I wouldn't let it bother me. And I wouldn't respond with a curse word to try and prove a point. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/10/2010 08:57:37 PM 335 Views

Cannoli has riled me up with apparent dismissiveness and bile, but he's clearly not a moron. *NM* newyorkersedai - 16/10/2010 09:39:22 PM 387 Views
Cannoly? An asshole? No!... </sarcasm> *NM* Skeeve the Great - 16/10/2010 11:32:35 PM 297 Views
And now, I hope that Cannoli has MPD and malekithe is his non-dominant alternate personality. The newyorkersedai - 16/10/2010 11:46:57 PM 356 Views
