OT: Sci-Fi and Fantasy Thread - SPOILERS Part Three

The first two movies were pretty good at adapting the first two books. After three it went downhill. Cause the books were longer and it would make the movies borderline unwatchable to cram all the details in. It is what it is. I'm sure a lot of fans are happy with a proper adaptation. But it's their cash cow and could print them billions if they do it right.
 
i was interested in it..but if you aren't going to get one of the most important characters right. by book description, than i don't even know

Wind and Truth release date. Don't feel as enthusiastic because Rhythm of War just felt off to me. Probably will finish it eventually. Or maybe take my time when I'm in the mood because it's the last book in this half of Stormlight.

I read the prologue before bed last night and knocked out all of part one this morning lol

So far so good. Rhythm of War was such a slog to the point where it was almost hard to finish, Wind and Truth does not seem like it’ll have that problem.

I thought I'm crazy. Way of Kings, Words of Radiance and Oathbringer were easy to finish. Easy to get hooked no problem reading that extra chapter when you know you need stop. Rhythm of War I'm reading it I'm like wtf is this? It's turned into an effort to get into the story.

You're not crazy at all! Most of the book alternated between unending physics lessons, boring flashbacks, and Kaladin Die Hard-ing his way around Urithiru. The ending was great, but everything leading up to it was a slog. I feel like that's the consensus opinion, anyway.

Has anyone read the Wool trilogy? Just finished book 1 and I gotta say I’m a fan. Pretty cool sci-fi post apocalyptic thriller/mystery. Kept me guessing throughout. Apparently it’s a series on Apple + I’ll have to check it out.

I haven’t read the books but I’m watching the series now and it’s excellent. Really well done..

Welp, I have officially finished Wind and Truth.

Even for Sanderson that was a roller coaster of an ending.

This is way late, but if this means you need a breather, now is the time to read the Belgarion. I think I need to tag @trostol for this.

That was the first fantasy series I read post Tolkien in the 90's. Before WOT, before ASOIAF, there was David Eddings. I might have never even known about those two masterpieces without good ole Garion and Durnick(?)

They aren't going to blow your mind, but they are some really fun, easy to read fantasy books. Honestly, if you appreciate that kind of thing, those books are a touchstone on the walk down fantasy nostalgia lane.

TlDr: read David Eddings

I'll put that next into the list. I think I'm going to re-read Redwall for the first time in a while, but Pawn of Prophecy will be on deck after that.

I really like how much BRIGHTER the costume is compared to the DCEU Cavill Superman. Feels more like the Reeves era even if its obviously a different type of design... but the redness of the cape pops (especially against a snow backdrop)

I also wasn't aware that
KRYPTO
was appearing in this.

Also why does
Guy Gardner
have a Pete Rose 70s bowl cut? lol.
