And the real significance of those... Cannoli Send a noteboard - 22/11/2011 04:13:57 PM

Add your own if you have any...

- Semirhage appears as a living flame
Semirhage is too scared to show her face.

- Mesaana appears in TAR as a vision of terror and majesty
Ditto. Also, how did that terror and majesty in TAR work out for her?

- Graendal shields Aran'gar and escapes Rand
Graendal panics and runs. Like the Dunkirk evacuation, this is evidence of how a sympathetic audience or re-teller can paint even an unmitigated defeat as a victory.

- Semirhage declares her identity to Rand and Cadsuane
Yeah, how'd that work out for her?

- Moghedien balefires Nynaeve's boat
Moghedian driven to panicky lashing out in complete defiance of her stated principles and tactics, simply by the sight her nemesis. This kind of pants-shitting terror is what the Forsaken are supposed to inspire in mere mortals, and here a mere mortal does it to a Forsaken, without even knowing Moghedian is there.

- Lanfear at the Docks
A crazy PMS-fest dumped chick freaking out over rejection and letting herself get blindsided by an undersized chick whose most commonly displayed character trait is asking men for help.

- Aginor gives his speech to Rand at the end of book 1
Which is completely undercut by the events taking place at the same time, where it turns out he is only a prologue to Rand's destruction of the army in Tarwin's Gap, defeat of Ishamael and restoration of spring. Note that his biggest boast only serves to emphasize how pathetic he is - "I fought LTT and survived." All he's really doing is confirming Rand's prior incarnation as the touchstone of badass channelers, just as when people all boast of other cities' beauty being greater than Tar Valon and thus only confirming Tar Valon as the touchstone for urban beauty. The greatest boast Aginor can summon up is to compare himself to a good guy. Even if that is not truly his greatest accomplishment, this speech exposes his inferiority complex.

- Ishamael fights Rand who wields Callandor
Ishamael snaps and loses it, and dies because his opponent is too ignorant to lose in TAR.

- Moghedien tames the Black Ajah
Pathetic coward tames more pathetic cowards. Talk about setting the bar low! "Hey, we may have all fled a city in terror of two half-trained girls, their obsequious peasant detective, their crime boss buddy, and their geriatric entertainer, but of all us cowards, let's be sure we know who is the most badass!"

- Asmodean fights Rand with the Choedan Kal
Eeek! A farmboy! I need a Choedan Kal to fight him! Where is it? Oh, whatever happened to my brilliant, Machiavellian plan from a brilliant AoL mind, to distract him with Couladin? How did that prevent him from pursuing me here?

- Sammael torments Carridin
Who's the boss, you multiple-times failure, huh? Admit it!" Yeah. Like Moghedian, nothing like scaring a loser shitless.
