The phrase "The next great fantasy epic!" was bandied about with an almost frantic enthusiasm, and when the thing finally started the looks on the audience's collective face was somewhere between exasperation and constipation, as though all the combined shit of the franchise was about to burst forth. On Saturday, there was a preview showing of the Eragon film which seemed to have all its hype crammed into the five minutes while they were pushing people into the auditorium. I was at the London Expo (anime/science fiction convention) yesterday and today, and Eragon was being highly publicised, with a big shiny dais in the middle with larger-than-life cutouts of the characters, shiny expensive brochures with simplistic messages, free t-shirts etcetera. Just joined this community had browsed the Anti-Shurtugal website with amusement and agreement beforehand. (Also I made a negative comment about the book in the nicest way possible, and butthurt fan said "get out faggot!1!!",just shows maturity of those people.)įirst-time poster. I mean some good books really had bad adaptations and I can understand why fans are not happy (like Percy Jackson and many others), but I just don't understand Paolinis fans.
They whine about bad movie and praise the book that was bad to begin with.Īnd now they make pettitions for new movie, like that's going to happen. Other than the fact that there are still fans of book, thing that puzzles me is how those people can recognise crappy movie, but can't recognise crappy book. The video itself is nothing special, it is fairly obvious that sword is crap, but what bothers me is comments. I was browsing trough older videos and I found this.
Ok, so I was watching Skallagrim recently (for those of you that don't know he reviews weapons, and I highly recommend to check out his channel if you are into that).
