uhm, we do? LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 05/12/2010 09:48:32 AM
because you said that it didn't start stereotypical. And it started pretty much the most stereotypical it comes.

Farm boy turns out to be Hero.

Hero has to leave Home to keep it safe. Is guided by wise and enigmatic magic user. Only strangeness here is that in this book, the magic user doesn't have a beard.

Farm Boy struggles with his abilities and his danger to others.

Farm Boy continues to make awesome achievements despite little actual skill or expierence, relying mostly on innate power and luck.

I mean, I have a hard time getting through the first few chapters of tEotW because it's just so damned stereotypical!! I could easily change the character and use the first chapter to start any fantasy series!
Still Empress of the Poofy Purple Pillow Pile Palace!!
Continued Love of my Aussie <3

why would you read the series and visit fan sites if you hate it all that much? *NM* Nargs - 04/12/2010 06:38:47 AM 468 Views

If you didn't get Rand's transformation, you're not the intended audience... Lord Haart - 04/12/2010 06:58:20 AM 1101 Views
OFF TOPIC: Lord Haart, are you a HOMM fan? *NM* Nargs - 04/12/2010 07:06:41 AM 600 Views
Yep! Ever since (the original) King's Bounty. *NM* Lord Haart - 05/12/2010 01:38:20 PM 430 Views
Oh, love of course. malekithe - 04/12/2010 07:13:10 AM 967 Views
Yeah, while you're busy not believing that, you should believe in things like the One Power too. Lord Haart - 04/12/2010 10:28:46 AM 909 Views

You've completely missed the point darius_sedai - 04/12/2010 02:03:06 PM 857 Views
You've completely missed the point! malekithe - 05/12/2010 08:54:47 AM 811 Views
what do you mean? these powers have been manifesting for a while! You need to read more closely darius_sedai - 05/12/2010 03:15:21 PM 909 Views
You're right, why would love ever be the Base of Goodness??? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 08:59:27 AM 834 Views
You're proving my point actually malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:33:23 AM 746 Views
? at what point was this series not supposed to be stereotypical? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:36:06 AM 877 Views
Well... malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:42:04 AM 971 Views
uhm, we do? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:48:32 AM 800 Views
Not in Rand malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:55:02 AM 768 Views
channeling isn't far from stereotypical LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 10:10:20 AM 1030 Views
So why do you keep reading? malekithe - 05/12/2010 10:17:49 AM 988 Views
far from it. LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 10:30:02 AM 782 Views

Again, why are you on this board or even reading this series? Ashaman_Luc - 04/12/2010 02:30:22 PM 960 Views
Uh excuse me. malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:05:27 AM 866 Views
since you are so very unhappy, I fail to see why you continue to read the books LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:09:36 AM 716 Views
Don't twist things to suit yourself malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:38:42 AM 818 Views
I would be unhappy with that ending because the Creator has never worked directly. LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:44:17 AM 849 Views
I'd say there's been some unusualness. malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:52:22 AM 800 Views
If Rand was one of the supporting heroes, maybe. But he's the "messiah" character LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 10:15:42 AM 790 Views
Actually, it's got zilch to do with "good" or "evil". Lord Haart - 05/12/2010 01:37:49 PM 895 Views
actually, we don't know how it is done and I like my theory just fine, thank you LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 05:48:19 PM 706 Views
We haven't had a Rand POV, so I don't think you can say for certain that it's random. Lord Haart - 06/12/2010 03:16:43 AM 900 Views
I don't think I can either. I'm not trying to say it's certain. LadyLorraine - 06/12/2010 06:17:04 AM 793 Views
I really like Rand post-epiphany (or BuddhaRand as I call him) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 04:05:10 PM 702 Views
