Ehhh that's a cop-out. And not even totally accurate. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 16/07/2010 08:27:19 AM

After all, lets not forget that WoT is classic 'High Fantasy' and so the bad guys are supposed to look bad and lose.


I have nothing against bad guys who look bad and lose. I wish they were a bit... smarter, that's all. Or more menacing.


DarkRand was easily one of the most threatening "villians" of the series. Compare him to someone like, Sammaeal? "Grrrr I must keep my scar because it is a souvenier of when Lews Therin beat me!"

Like, yes, they're dangerous... but dangerous in the way that a big school bully that thinks they're clever is dangerous, not dangerous in an Evil Mastermind way.
I amuse myself.

RJ finally got a villain right, then killed him in the same book. Narg - 15/07/2010 10:10:16 PM 1303 Views

I agree. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 09:33:59 AM 189 Views
Yes, basically. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/07/2010 01:36:13 PM 533 Views
The Forsaken are not THE villain(s), they are cannon fodder! Cannoli - 19/07/2010 04:16:04 AM 654 Views
And that's why they're crappy villains orius - 19/07/2010 07:24:05 AM 453 Views
Cannoli misses the point. The Forsaken are all villains. It is the Dark One that is the true evil RugbyPlayingAshaman - 19/07/2010 04:01:34 PM 552 Views
The Forsaken are henchmen. Like the eels in The Little Mermaid or the hyenas in The Lion King Cannoli - 20/07/2010 03:14:37 AM 557 Views
Absolutely correct, but you miss the point. Lord Haart - 20/07/2010 02:48:22 PM 436 Views
Exactly. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 20/07/2010 04:08:22 PM 388 Views
My point is simply that you are mistaking their place in the hierarchy Cannoli - 20/07/2010 11:46:52 PM 493 Views
No, I'm not. And you just proved that you missed the point. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/07/2010 03:10:04 PM 413 Views

I'll call your "no" and raise you a "WTH?" Nameless Ashaman - 19/07/2010 08:44:19 PM 437 Views

The Dark One is the threat. He is the enemy from whom the world needs saving, NOT the Forsaken Cannoli - 20/07/2010 02:35:48 AM 549 Views
