Re: Pointless characters and deaths in WoT malekithe Send a noteboard - 04/12/2010 06:15:12 AM
I am sure this list will get much longer after AMoL, but after reading ToM I am struck by how needless some of the characters actually are.

1. Nicola- What the hell was the point of spending so much time on Nicola only to have her die in such an unceremonious way? Will we ever even see her Birgitte wannabe friend Areina again?


It's something called 'bad writing'.

2. Masema- What a let-down. So many chapters describing Masema, only to see him die so quickly.


It's called 'wasting our time'.

3. Graendal- What the hell was point of saving Graendal only to have her bundle at a plot she didn't even need to be involved in? If Graendal doesn't do anything significant in AMoL, her escape of death will have been one of the most pointless things in all of WoT.


It's called 'the disney syndrome'.

4. Asunawa- Asunawa seemed so pointless after his hasty death. This chapter just felt so rushed.


Who ever gave a damn about the Whitecloaks since books 2 anyways.

I am sure there are many more characters that can be added to this list. What are your top choices?

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 495 Views

If you didn't get Rand's transformation, you're not the intended audience... Lord Haart - 04/12/2010 06:58:20 AM 1165 Views
OFF TOPIC: Lord Haart, are you a HOMM fan? *NM* Nargs - 04/12/2010 07:06:41 AM 619 Views
Yep! Ever since (the original) King's Bounty. *NM* Lord Haart - 05/12/2010 01:38:20 PM 457 Views
Oh, love of course. malekithe - 04/12/2010 07:13:10 AM 1036 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 975 Views

You've completely missed the point darius_sedai - 04/12/2010 02:03:06 PM 920 Views
You've completely missed the point! malekithe - 05/12/2010 08:54:47 AM 870 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 969 Views
You're right, why would love ever be the Base of Goodness??? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 08:59:27 AM 898 Views
You're proving my point actually malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:33:23 AM 811 Views
? at what point was this series not supposed to be stereotypical? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:36:06 AM 947 Views
Well... malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:42:04 AM 1038 Views
uhm, we do? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:48:32 AM 863 Views
Not in Rand malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:55:02 AM 827 Views
channeling isn't far from stereotypical LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 10:10:20 AM 1095 Views
So why do you keep reading? malekithe - 05/12/2010 10:17:49 AM 1053 Views
far from it. LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 10:30:02 AM 849 Views

Again, why are you on this board or even reading this series? Ashaman_Luc - 04/12/2010 02:30:22 PM 1025 Views
Uh excuse me. malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:05:27 AM 938 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 778 Views
Don't twist things to suit yourself malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:38:42 AM 876 Views
I would be unhappy with that ending because the Creator has never worked directly. LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:44:17 AM 921 Views
I'd say there's been some unusualness. malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:52:22 AM 869 Views
If Rand was one of the supporting heroes, maybe. But he's the "messiah" character LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 10:15:42 AM 850 Views
Actually, it's got zilch to do with "good" or "evil". Lord Haart - 05/12/2010 01:37:49 PM 979 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 751 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 967 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 859 Views
I really like Rand post-epiphany (or BuddhaRand as I call him) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 04:05:10 PM 772 Views
