Yes, nothing like it. A bespectacled youth with an owl familiar gets inducted into magic from a mundane life where he finds 4 different paths of magic and is the chosen one of the magical world.

But that's the Books of Magic. I forget what Harry Potter is about. Can you remind me?

The only way Rowling could have more transparently plagiarized the Books of Magic is if she named her series "The Spooks of Blagic" and changed the owl's name to "Yong-Yong".

Gaiman didn't even do anything illegal. The women were willing and consensual sexual partners who decided YEARS after the fact (and after being discarded by the famous and wealthy man, huh weird) that there were improprieties.

There desperately needs to be a "no crime? who cares" rule for these sorts of allegations having an impact on your employment.

True, women always lie. Just like they did to Roiland. But Gayman still deserves it for being a cuck.

I haven't changed anything. Women are lying whores AND gayman is a retarded cuck.

>>204808908
It's funny you are forced to downplay the similarities, because even you admit it's open plagiarism. There are LOTS of comics about magic that Rowling DID NOT copy. Harry Potter, for instance, bears absolutely no resemblence to Doctor Strange. Or Doctor Fate for that matter.
>>
>>204808825
Honestly the fact it came out initially via podcast of all things, and one of the women themselves stated that it was consensual just muddies so much.
I don't like the guy even though I like Good Omens, but I find it very fucking difficult to genuinely believe that these women aren't just regretting falling into bed with him.

Idiot. People aren't choosing to disregard him because of personal dislike, but because he fed the beast that devoured him.
Why on earth should someone deserve sympathy for facing the consequences of their own actions? If he had vocally defended people he disliked from similar such allegations out of principle it would be a different story.

You see, anon, Neil is a tranny friendly fantasy author who is (or was, lol) well regarded, well known and sold well. This makes him a rallying point to social media addicts when they're seething about rowling, as they can hold him up as a real author people should read instead.

Wanna run this by me champ? I only read Gaimain's original miniseries. Sure, there are 4 people who serve as his guide through the DC Universe's Magical Mystery Tour but it is never implied that each of them represent a different 'path' of magic nor that there are only 4 'paths' of magic.

Harry Potter is about the last survivor of a noble family being hidden away to protect him from an ancient evil. This unfortunately results in him living a shitty life of borderline abuse before being brought to a school life where he learns to make friends with people his own age after living a life full of nothing but disappointment and abuse. Along the way he takes a train and plays some chess. Seems pretty different to me

It ain't that weird. Pretty sure Cronenberg got involved in a particularly mundane movie about a drunk driver as a producer or some shit. The only distinctly Cronenberg thing about it I remember is a guy getting shot with a shotgun and getting sent across the room with enough blood squibs to drown a horse.

I mean they were made for TV with a limited budget and roughly 3 hours each which would necessitate trimming. I really liked Hogfather and Going Postal, and Color of Magic was alright other than fucky casting. And to be fair Color of Magic is weaker in general since it's the first one. Never did watch the Watch show which still chaps my ass because doing the guards/Vimes stories would be awesome

I really fucking liked those books and then it became patently obvious that Rothfuss has no fucking clue how to finish a story and is actually just the Damon Lindelof of fantasy writing.
Maybe it's a Stephen King situation like with The Dark Tower, where it's better off that he never finished them anyway.
>>
>>204811343
That's definitely understandable. I'd think one easy example of something feeling off would be the lack of little footnotes and tangential bits that the Discworld books are full of. You get some narrator blurbs in Hogfather but not nearly as much as in a regular Discworld where he'd like to flesh shit out more, do little side jokes, etc. But that would also be difficult to translate to a show, you'd have to do something like the old BBC Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with little interludes and you wouldn't have as convenient a reason/tool for doing it in a show as the guide, so a narrator would probably be the closest. Just something that works well in books that I'm not sure how it could work well in show-form

Actually (ackchulleh), I can see the CW treatment being very close to the way Supernatural made every demon just a buff dude or hot chick. Occasionally a character actor if they needed someone to project a lot of charm/charisma.

Not the anon you're talking to (And never read the Rothfuss books. Heard they were good but since gurm's blueballing me I didn't feel like diving in on another unfinished series) but I will say in defense of the Dark Tower that it at least makes reading King's OTHER books a bit more fun because you can look at all that shit through the lens of the Dark Tower. I'd largely agree reading the Dark Tower itself isn't worth it even though there were some parts I liked, but the main salvagable moment for me was thinking about his other stories in that context too

It has really good prose without being overly dense and an extremely well realised universe.

It's biggest problem, aside from the lying name of the series, is having an insufferably perfect protagonist and it endlessly teasing events that probably will never be covered.

It's tough with such a long-running series with a world that's so deeply ingrained in the minds of the fans.
It's like "no motherfucker, I do not want your vision or interpretation, I want the author's vision that was clearly laid out across dozens of books"

I don't want a black/gay/female Captain Carrot.
>>
>>204811151
It's not perfect and it suffered from being an adaptation of one of his simpler books but the Amazing Maurice is the first time someone really "got" Pratchett's humour in film/tv.

That said the Discworld game managed to capture it best, having Twoflower narrate the footnotes was genuis and it's a shame Eric Idle never got cast as Rincewind when he was still young enough to pull it off.

Wind = Mind in the sense of Zeitgeist/Spirit of the Age.

"Aquarius" or something like that. Look for a clue in dialogue etc. It may be linked to "Hyperborea" or a similar Age.

Japs have the "Kamikaze" The Great Wind = The Great Change. So it's often relating to the changing of one Age to another. The story likely involves the battle to define the "Name" (type/nature) of this new coming age.

It's basically this.
It weaved a lot of really cool fantasy shit together really nicely but it was incredibly obvious after the second book that it was impossible to make this a trilogy because all the author had done was create multiple new pathways for the beginning of stories.
There was no fucking way that the story could be wrapped up in a third book because the story hadn't even begun.
Kvothe was set to become a legendary hero, but he hadn't even completed his training yet.
>>
>>204811705
Yeah, first book. Like I said I actually quite liked the Hogfather adaptation even with the clunkiness and some jokes that just can't really translate well to the screen like Nobby. Even Kidby's art of him doesn't have him as weird and greasy as he's written, but trying to make him not even identifiable as human without throwing off people watching who've never read the books would be hard

>>204812045
It is strange because even though I'm not anti-woke in the slightest the fucking Guards TV show looked and sounded so fucking bad. Like Cheery Littlebottom's whole thing is a dwarf going against their societal norms and all that jazz by wanting to look recognizably female when it's a running joke that all the dwarves, men and women, look so masculine that they even have trouble telling which is which themselves. So you get a well done in-setting character and story and joke (Especially the humans not giving much of a shit but other dwarves being scandalized) that can be applicable to a variety of different viewpoints and then the show apparently just went "CHEERY IS TRANS" which removed all the nuance and fun

Yawn

You can't bang him for another month, acknowledge it was consensual, then claim the opposite later. Well you can, but fuck you if you do.

Same thing with the second accuser - she chases his dick for 4 years, he eventually gives it too her, then 20 years later she accuses him of rape despite staying in contact with him in those intervening 20 years?

>She maintained friendly contact with Gaiman after their relationship ended in 2008

It's the ugly side of the whole metoo movement.
Any woman can just go "oh, that thing that happened 10+ years ago, that I never told anyone about, that's too late to prove or disprove, that I can't report to the police anymore - that thing was sexual assault". And people will 100% believe them, because everyone has been conditioned to believe all women and think that any time a woman claims she felt discomfort she was raped.

Ah, I can't comment on that without going X-tier.

"King Kill" is what something like the Titanic being sunk is. 100% tied to "Changing of Era". But it's super-masonic shit.

Look for imagery relating to Crowns and Coronas (moon and sun overlapping etc). May provide a clue.

As an adjunct:
The Name of the Rose is about a murder in a monastery, and the title refers to a chick the Jesuit Padawan narrator has sex with - BUT that's really about a deeply deeply esoteric concept. About a fundamental choice all masons and other knowledge seekers have to make regarding their path.

If your boi is writing the story properly, there will be a whole world of meaning just below the surface. Figure out what the "King" is referring to and the story will flip on it's axis and you'll find yourself reading something completely different (which, in it's way is also part of this King Kill stuff - certain things have to be sacrificed/shed in order to gain new understanding: meaning your personal "Era" will shift and other stuff will open up to you, but you lose the "old you" in the process).

Perhaps something about the MC will need to be let go of so he can become a master. It will break something important, but then he'll find a way to "fix" it by creating something new. Look out for tropes like a dead mentor or loved one returning in another form, either obviously or subtly. Sometimes the other is reborn in the MC. They'll start taking on some of their identifying behaviors/attitudes etc.

Season 1's fine and reasonably close to the book. And actually was the book. 2 wasn't completely horrible garbage but it was absolutely worse than 1/the book. It might be worth it if you never read the book and/or if you're a sweaty fujo shipper and want ABSOLUTE ROMANCE for your demon and angel rather than them just being good friends, but personally I'd say you're better off just sticking to season 1 since it's a completely self contained story anyway

>I also like that he allowed Carrot to be "wrong" on this issue and showed that he wasn't just a perfect self insert for liberals.
It's because Terry Pratchett's great. Absolutely was/is my favorite author to the point that I've probably spent an ungodly amount on Discworld books over the years. Got something like two copies of all the main ones, and then a lot of the random spinoff things like Science of Discworld, and even got the old Discworld GURPS. Even still have a character on the Discworld MUD I made like 25 years ago

>>204813213
That was a bummer, yeah. I assume it's because they wanted a more presentable protagonist for the show since you aren't getting any of his thoughts or anything and it's a fine line to tread when your protagonist is a sleazeball being pressured into doing the right thing and slightly enjoys the feeling of actually doing the right thing (Or more specifically, scamming people into buying his bullshit which also leads to doing the right thing because he can't stop bullshitting and has to back it up or die) while still wanting to slip off. With a book you get a lot more breathing room for getting nuances in the characters. And I want to say Adora had one semi-"Hard" scene in the show and the rest pretty soft which is wrong but so it goes

They akways cite "power dynamics", as though they have zero agency themselves. I get it, he's done well for himself, but something tells me that willingly consenting to a relationship that isn't abusive, and staying in touch with him afterwards doesn't scream to me that he did anything wrong.

Is there a point where a woman can actually own up to the fact that she banged him, liked it, and just now regrets it?

He helped build this fucking retarded system so him being affected by it is then completely fair.

I don't think you anyone should kill people. Though I won't feel bad for you if you start killing people and one of them kills you.
How is this a difficult concept to understand?

No, you shouldn't rape.
But will I feel sorry for you when you get raped in prison after being locked up for your own raping? No.

It's called facing the consequences of your own actions and that's what makes it justice.
I don't support cancel culture, but cancelling the people who make cancel culture a thing is both good for everyone else AND it teaches the cunt a lesson about what he's been doing to others.
