Re: Gawyn and Galad have become tough Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 06/02/2010 09:31:51 AM
It's no longer the young boys playing the warder's yard. They've both killed their fair share of skilled men, and Gawyn bested two at the same time in TGS.


Boys don't become men because they can win a fight. Tam says it best: A bully is a bully, [no matter whether they use fists, swords or the power] (paraphrased from memory).

Galad knows to fight for what is right, and also takes initiative and acts as a leader. Gawyn runs away on his own, then stands around like a kicked puppy when Egwene tells him off. So much more could have been done with his character.

Who would win in a fight? (yes, you read that right! ) Yondaime - 04/02/2010 10:38:01 PM 3035 Views
Gawyn. *chokes back the vomit that rushes up his throat* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2010 10:53:37 PM 1772 Views

Huh? He was even WORSE in TGS. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:14:16 AM 1568 Views
I dunno. He actaully DID stuff this time Yondaime - 05/02/2010 05:24:48 AM 1683 Views
I agree he was much better than before darius_sedai - 05/02/2010 04:39:33 PM 1524 Views

Perhaps the key is that Gawyn is an even more simplistic thinker than Galad. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:20:06 AM 1574 Views
Again, what? When? Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 08:08:47 AM 1551 Views
Well, the fact that he's had access to one of the best educations in Randland Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 09:22:28 AM 1513 Views
Completely different subjects, and pretty insignificant, really. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 06:44:35 PM 1025 Views
the person to beat Gawyn is Mat imlad - 06/02/2010 06:36:03 AM 1789 Views
Perrin would beat Lan?! *NM* BlackAdder - 06/02/2010 05:52:47 PM 1471 Views

Add Nynaeve and Egwene to the fight, that's something worth seeing then. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:20:53 AM 1685 Views
Egwene would hand Nynaeve her ass darius_sedai - 05/02/2010 04:55:51 PM 1653 Views

That's not what RJ said. He said Nynaeve would be a little hard pressed Skeeve the Great - 05/02/2010 10:18:42 PM 1388 Views
she might be a little hard pressed to pass a test she should pass without thought! darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 05:56:38 PM 1298 Views
Moiraine was hard pressed to pass, and she practiced for ages and is the #1 Battle AS. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 08:27:26 PM 1517 Views

of course it does darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 05:48:41 PM 1591 Views
That's not how it happens in New Spring. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 07:00:52 PM 1454 Views
that's because Moiraine trained and is relatively skilled (for AS) darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 07:34:05 PM 1600 Views
That's nonsensical. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 09:02:13 PM 1609 Views
It's what RJ said ... "too much specialization" darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:14:38 PM 1474 Views

Yup, plus those were complex weaves that may have required multiple flows. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 08:30:52 PM 1529 Views
there is nothing to say that multiple weaves are involved. darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:16:29 PM 1477 Views

1 Blossom = 1 Weave ... there is nothing to say that each thread requires splitting flows darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 10:48:11 PM 1584 Views
Fine, I used the word weave when I should have used flow. 36 flows to create 12 weaves. *NM* Datakim - 06/02/2010 10:57:09 PM 909 Views
