The Disney+ series is absolutely going to rape the source material isn't it?
the source material is dogshit to begin with
I though this shit was gay as fuck even when I was a little kid
>>217785825can't be worse than the 06 film adaptation, not that I'd watch anything modern disney puts out
>>217785825If it did it would be pretty funny. Star Wars but in middle earth should be easy to do, imagine fucking that up twice
>>217785825I know it's a YA book series, but Eragon going into exile before he ever had sex pissed me off. It was a pseudo-cucking.
>>217785825This book got mocked mercilessly when it came out. Sad that little zoomies who grew up with it are old enough to post here
>>217785825whoever did the cover art for this book should be hanged
>>217786367Yah but he wrote in the first book that some fucking fortune teller told eragon that would happen so it must be trueCould not change that shitty character to be a fucking charlatan, nope she had to be an actual gurl boss future seer
>>217785825Eragon will be a dysgenic looking zoomie Arya will be black or dark skinned latina Durza will be some kind of homoMurtagh will be a mutt (Doesn't that break the story, yes and they don't care) The Varden will be even more pozzed then the last movie. The Twins will be tranniesNasuada will be a bull dyke Roran will be black and his gf will be white (her dad will be a racists hecking empire support)
>tfw eragon never scores the elf pussy terrible series
I remembering thinking these books were pretty gay even before the movie came out.
>>217786657yeah, this is gayer than caring about Harry Potter
>>217785825*Ardwen - Arwen*Isenstar - Isengard*Mithrim - Mithrim or mithril*Angrenost - Angrenost*Morgothal - Morgoth*Elessari - Elessar*Furnost - Fornost*Hadarac - Harad*Melian - Melian*Vanilor - Valinor*Eridor - Eriador*Imiladris - Imladris*Undin - Fundin/Udun*Gil'ead - Gil'Galad*Ceranthor - Caranthir*Isidar - Isildir*Oromis - Orome*Eragon - Aragorn>b-but the author was 15!No. He was 15 when he "imagined the story". He wrote it when he was 19, and his parents literally owned the company that published the book to begin with.
>>217786657There was a part where he became half-elf and became a preachy vegetarian fag out of nowhere despite having lived his life as a farm boy in a medieval village.
>>217785835fpbpeveryone made a big deal about how young the author was when he wrote this and yeah, it shows
>>217786699Unfortunately it reads and feels plotted out like a 15 year old regurgitating pop culture shit.
>Critics Consensus: Written by a teenager (and it shows), Eragon presents nothing new to the "hero's journey" story archetype. In movie terms, this movie looks and sounds like Lord of the Rings and plays out like a bad Star Wars rip-off. The movie spins the tale of a peasant boy who is suddenly entrusted with a dragon and must, with the help of a mentor, train, grow strong, and defeat an evil emperor. The way the critics picture it, the makers of Eragon should soon be expecting an annoyed phone call from George Lucas.
>>217786749The hero becoming a vegan pussy and not getting to fuck any pussy must have been novel for the time.
>>217786740Well yeah, the story is Star Wars by way of LotR. The "magic system" people love glazing over is taken word for word from A Wizard of Earthsea. The little girl Eragon curses is a clone of Alia from Dune.
The amount this still makes /lit/ seethe is amazing
>>217785825I remember thinking this book was boring af when I was a kid. Couldn't finish it
>>217786699>his parents literally owned the company that published the book to begin with.Being a nepo baby must be fucking amazing, you can literally achieve your dreams like it's nothing.
>Have a mental connection to your dragon>Hears your thoughts and feels what you feel>Dragon has a sexy milfy voice>TfwIt would be horrible having that connection, unless your dragon waifu was an absolute freak and didn't mind having random orgasms and hearing the most fucked up things in her mind when she's just minding her own business.No idea if this is even a thing in the book as I have only seen the movie and I might be misremembering the mental link carrying feeling too, but she sure as hell would hear all kinds of degenerate stuff just from the thoughts alone.
>>217786657Yeah it’s faggot ass bullshit and it’s part of what what put fantasy as a genre back in the shadows after LOTR brought it back into the mainstream light.
>>217785825What disney serieseragon is garbage and everyone knows it, even the mousekikes can't be hoping to go back to this well
>>217785825When the source material is this bad & an obvious ripoff of all the major fantasy works, nobody will care.
>>217787031It would be if they hadn't marketed the book as slop written by a tenth grader who was clearly home school. That's the only thing he is known for but I am sure the money is nice.
>>217785825Have they even started filming this trash? Or cast it?
>the source material I tried reading the first book when I was 12 and I dropped it so fast. >muh 14 year old prodigy fantasy writer No, it's shit.
>>217785835the most generic cookie cutter fantasy story I've ever read, and then in the second book he made it even better by cramming in his college leftist bullshit like veganism and atheism
When I was homeschooled because I hated going to school and just wanted to be edgy I joined a volleyball club for homeschoolers and there was this one girl who yelled "BRIGSNR" or whatever the fire spell was whenever she hit the ball. Fucking dork.
>>217785825Why do people keep pretending that this book is the worst shit on the planet? Is it just contrarianism? Or are there seriously people who are that jealous that some young guy wrote a successful novel? It really isn't that bad.
>>217788472It's not the worst on the planet, it's just that there were way better YA books coming out around that time. Like Series of Unfortunate Events, or fucking Harry Potter.
>>217786976qrd? Is it because paolini was able to get his terrible fanfiction published due to being a nepobaby and get rich?
>>217788472>Or are there seriously people who are that jealous that some young guy wrote a successful novel?Lots of 19 year olds write fan fiction. They publish them on fanfiction.net. Paolini didn't have to because his parents were actual publishers. The only reason the book was successful was because he and his parents lied about his age when he wrote it, hyping it as the work of a "prodigy". But even if he had been 15 (he wasn't) he's a fucking shit writer. Look at this:>The branch Roran had added to the fire burst asunder with a muted pop as the coals underneath heated the gnarled length of wood to the point where a small cache of water or sap that had somehow evaded the rays of the sun for untold decades exploded into steam.
the source material was written by a teenager lmao.
>>217788471Cute, thanks for sharing your relevant anecdote anon
>>217788471i want a homeschooled dork gf so bad
>>217788472>You can't call garbage garbage because what about other garbageKys fag
>>217785825I always thought that dragon looked black.
>>217788653but that being said, the series will almost certainly be worse still. a teenager working out of his room is usually better than hollywood.
>>217787077YOU JUST KNOW
>>217788471kek
>>217787077it wouldn't be horrible it just goes with the territory. the rider would also feel when the dragon was jerking off.
Why are people so mad about him becoming a vegetarian? He got psychic powers that let him feel the feelings of animals, and he went back to eating meat anyway.
>>217785825Is this game of throne?
>>217790369It's almost like it was written by a particularly untalented teenager
>>217785835/thread
>>217785854This, I read it at like 12-13 idk, the last book didn't come out yet. I only remember 2 things: The kino moment in the third, when he makes his new sword, and the disappointed feeling how dogshit the ending was. I only read it because I liked dragons.>>217786467The author or his sister draw them if I remember correctley and they look gay
>>217786538You forgot that the blue dragon will be voiced by Awkwafina
>>217785835this, its pure shit. even fanfics are better than eragon
>>217786367Instead him and the elf girl get to awkwardly watch some SS dragon fucking. Brilliant
>>217785835It plagiarizes Star Wars pretty heavily and takes various things from LotR as well.
Does TV read fanfics? 90% percent of them are garbage but the 10% that are not garbage are kino and epic.
>>217786726He became a preachy vegan faggot because that is what all the elves of that universe are like.
>>217788472Eragon was one of the first books that had an active hatedom on the internet, some of whom were alogs before the original ever knew Chris existed. They did a lot to influence discussion back then, and the fact the books aren’t exactly good meant that the pendulum never swung back
>>217785825I genuinely don't understand why faggots ITT dislike this series. >It's poor fiction! It's no better or worse than RL Stine, Lemony Snicket, or Lous Duncan.>It copies LOTR and Goy Wars.Neither are that good to begin with so that seems to track.
>>217790431>The kino moment in the third, when he makes his new swordI don’t remember this at all, what happenedall I remember is he lost the old one to his half brother
>>217790758Is that your best 'argument'?
>>217788472People love to hate. Truth is a decent YA series. There have been countless significantly worse series get adapted that you never see this level of hate for, like all of them Hunger Games and literally every spin off book series from it (Divergent, mortal engines etc.) are 10x worse having read both. It's actually crazy, I think the main hate comes from him "ripping off" other authors which is always the funniest criticism from normies because they don't understand that almost every story series rips off something else The Lord of the Rings isn't even the first book series to be set in Middle Earth btw. That would be The Worm Ouroboros by E.R. Eddision. It's a bad ass book too btw, would recommend
>>217790825What's to argue? You never see this level of hate for anything else despite well over a dozen adaptations of shitty YA series. Percy Jackson is shit series that shamelessly rips off earlier works too and you don't see a thread about its TV show sperging out like this lmao. It's pretty fucking blatant there's a need to hate for some reason.
>>217785825Dude wanted to be jk Rowling so bad
>>217788472>>217788500>>217790747>>217790758>>217790893>>217790920Wow, we got the author of Eragon posting here
>>217785825I thought the first book was pretty good. The claims that it ripped off Star Wars are wildly overblown. Star Wars was literally based directly on the "hero's journey" structure. George Lucas literally bought the book on the hero's journey and used it as the foundation for his movie. Anything that follows a kind of similar structure is going to be passingly similar to Star Wars. If you actually read it, you don't really get "fantasy Star Wars" at all.Stopped reading it after I read the second book and got to the vegan atheist elves. If the third book redeemed the series, I don't know.
>>217790942Pretty sure he looks back on the books with regret and is a good sport about the ribbing
>>217790920Divergent was far more hated imo. And while Hunger Games was a soemwhat respected boon in mainstream, its worldbuilding was a punching bag for years.
>>217790583i try out the big ones that people fellate the most, get bored, and then forget about them. i listened to a lot of the audio version of that harry potter one with the science bitch for example.
Post superior YA series that need adapting.
>>217791001
>>217790952>The claims that it ripped off Star Wars are wildly overblown. Star Wars was literally based directly on the "hero's journey" structure.Find one other "hero's journey" that follows this story structure.At the start of the story a princess leading a rebellion against an evil empire is being pursued by the evil emperor's right hand man. She's in possession of an object of great importance which was stolen from the empire. Before she is captured she attempts to secret the item away to a hermit who once belonged to an ancient order of warriors with mystical powers. However the item inadvertently comes into the possession of a boy of foggy origins living with his uncle on a remote farm. The evil emperor's minions track the item to the farm and destroy it, killing the boy's relatives. But the boy escapes with the old hermit who gives him a sword he claims belonged to the boy's father. As they travel together the hermit trains the boy in the ways of the ancient order of warriors. Then the hermit dies protecting the boy, the boy rescues the princess from the start of the story with the help of a dashing rogue, and the boy, rogue, and princess journey together to the rebellion's secret headquarters which has come under attack by the evil empire. At the story's climax the boy saves the day with the timely help of his friends. Afterwards he has a vision of a powerful master of the ancient order of warriors who can finish his training. He seeks the master out and trains with him, growing very powerful. But before his training is finished the boy has premonitions that his friends are in danger. He decides he must go to help them despite his master warning him not to. The boy promises that he will return and leaves. He finds his friends just in time as they are threatened by the evil emperor's right hand man. In the ensuing fight the evil emperor's right hand man reveals that he and the boy are related. The boy is shocked and ultimately defeated, but not killed.
>>217785835fpbp it's a series that's good enough for a 7-10 year old but any older or if you've consumed anything else of note from the genre you'll immediately spot the man behind the curtain frantically chewing gum to stick together his sloppy pastiche of mid late 20th century fantasy.
>>217790953Paolini, by his own estimation, writes with a lyrical beauty on par with the Nobel prize winning author Seamus Heaney and Tolkien "at his best" (because regular Tolkien isn't good enough). You can see his skill for yourself here >>217788649 He still promotes the series on Twitter and recently came out with a book called "The World of Eragon".
>>217791026
>>217785825>>217785835Fantasy is just a shit genre to begin with.They can make up whatever bullshit they want to resolve situations or bring characters back to life, rarely following it's own rules. Sci-fi can pull this too but at least good sci-fi uses actual scientific principles to back itself up.
>>217791055You can go look him up on this very minute on Youtube and find he's pretty sheepish about his old writing, as anyone would be about what they wrote as a kid.
>>217785825Is this one of the first things of that drive for 'young, male audiences' Disney was in the news for a while back?
>>217791117Uh-huh. Who's the princess? What did the princess steal from the evil empire? Was this Locke ever living on a farm with his uncle? Who's the mystical warrior the princess wanted help from? Who's the rogue? Did Locke's mentor die protecting him? Is he related to the villain in a twist?
>>217791136>a kidHe was nineteen.
>dragon is called eragonbravo nolan
>>217785835This, it was a gayer star wars clone and it was only published by this "genius" kid because his parents work in the publishing industry.I used to read everything just for completion and closure as a kid, and even I couldn't go back and finish this series.
>>217785825>LotR fanfic written by a 16 year oldLet them rape.
>>217791001Personally I’m glad Sabriel or the edge chronicles are never going to get mercilessly raped by an adaption
>>217786699I don't give a fuckit's fun I want the adaptation to be something I like and not the usual shit.
>>217790801I think he found some of that special magic metal in the elf village at the roots of that magic tree in the middle of the village. Then he forged it with the help of that old blacksmith, who used to make all the rider's swords. When he finished, he named the sword brisingr and it turned out to be it's elf name, so it became OP.I may remember incorrectley to some things, because I read it 15 years ago. However, now that I recapped it, it's exactly as retarded and gay as the rest of the story. 12 year old me probably thought the flaming sword was really cool, so that's why I remembered it that way.
>>217790583Even if they are good, what's the point if hardly anyone else has read them and the only other people who have read them are fucking weirdos?Usually the people into them ONLY read them and what defines a good fanfiction is no where near what defines a good book.This applies to VNs too.
>>217790758>It's no better or worse than RL Stine, Lemony Snicket, or Lous Duncan.It is worse than all of those people.>Neither are that good to begin with so that seems to track.So you agree it's bad?
>>21779122219 is a kid in America, they can't drink or have consensual sex.
>>217791851Oh yeah they would ruin those so much, it's already primed for girl power nonsense ruining it. It's not supposed to be easy to win every fight you retarded Hollywood nonces. Garth Nix has a couple really good works that could be adapted but they never seem to go back that far when doing YA adaptations. It's crazy to me that it took until the Hunger Games for YA adaptations to really become a thing even with Harry Potter starting in 2001. The late 90s and early 2000s has so many amazing YA series it's crazy. The sad thing is, and I've actually compared this myself, YA books from the 90s are at a higher reading level than most NYT best-sellers today. Like the schlock romance and murder mystery stuff. Not surprising when the average reading level is just 5th grade and still dropping. Many highschool graduating classes read at a 3rd grade level.
>>217791705>I used to read everything just for completion and closure as a kid, and even I couldn't go back and finish this series.>Same, but I actually went back and finished it when the last book got published and I was left immensely disappointed. What's even worse, my family did not have much money around that time and the book was like 3x the price of a random YA novel. I felt really bad, because my mom preordered it for me and I disliked it so much, I skipped thorugh half the pages. I told them it was good though.
>>217785835I liked it...
>>217791001So many forgotten series that would make for much better TV than anything we get these days. But they'd ruin them all I'm sure
>>217792191From what I’ve read, Nix was very aware of how hollywood gives authors trick “executive producer” positions that mean absolutely fuck all, so when they tried to get the rights from him he stuck to his guns.
anybody read these as a kid? I remember enjoying them, but I can't remember if they were actually good or not
>>217791851They could make an entire spin off show about the Library from Lireal. I love that concept so much.
>>217792175No. I think it's a circle jersey, 2kewl4u, trying too hard for Internet cred to have this many faggots mad about it. I don't get it other than posers trying to fit in because of a popular statement. If it was something bad you were forced to read as part of curriculum, like Scarlett Letter it would make sense. >>217792185
>>217792492>trying too hard for Internet credPeak projection, Mr. Contrarian. Just make a picture of Eragon as a gigachad, that usually works.
>>217791022this would be such kinoreally it should have an animated series, or an anime
>>217792521>Everyone calling Eragon the worst thing ever is stating an objective fact >Everyone pointing out it's totally average is a seething fanYou guys are retarded as fuck. Judging by the complete lack of discussion on other, supposedly better, YA series it's pretty clear that most people hating on Eragon just never read YA and honestly it seems like they read Eragon in their late teens expecting something like Wheel of Time (older stuff). Anyone that actually read a lot of YA as a child knows Eragon is above average. Now respond about how three sentences is too much for you to read and prove my point even more lol
>>217792264I owned this but didn't finish reading it or if I did I didn't remember it. I remember it being fairly mid when I tried. I own the first three books though so I must have liked it a bit?
>>217792778So many of these series really lend themselves to TV shows so easily because they're not too complex and dialogue heavily. Most modern TV is written on the level of a shitty YA book series already. Of even worse, a shitty adult romance/mystery series.
>>217791001I feel like I'm the only person to have read this book. It's like Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer but better.
>>217791026Kek
>>217791001I'd even be happy with a proper adaptation of one of Tamora Peirce's series. They're feminist as fuck but in a third or even second wave sort of way like JK Rowling so I guess it's not enough without shoving in LGBTs. Alanna done properly would be arguably the biggest young tween show of all time. Or the Wild Magic/Immortals series.
>>217792842It's not average, it's bad. It's not the worst thing ever though.
>>217791851Me too, anon. I hope Sabriel doesn’t get an adaptation until it can be fan-made with AI.
>>217785835>you now remember the wave of eragon hate sites in the 00sThe amount of hate it got back then was honestly impressive
>>217786699>Eragon - AragornAnon it's literally just Dragon with the initial swapped
>>217788472The first two books are mid. The elves are annoying but otherwise it's passable, if derivative. The story starts going bad in the third book and goes to complete shit in the fourth book.
>>217793190It was hated because it was popular. People forget just how big this series was. It's second only to Twilight I'm being hated on as a meme
>the not-orcs are actually... le goodso this is where rope got the idea from
>>217792921>There's this dude that's been fucking up things since minute one>He's obviously evil>Gets to keep at it for 3 books despite everyone in power knowing itAmazing writting. Wasn't the mc cucked out of his waifu too? What's with fantasy writters and cucks
>>217793088It's better than the Hunger Games and you never see this level of vitriol for that series.
>>217793327How is that different from IRL
>>217793335The Hunger Games is better written, and it's a less obvious rip-off (but still a rip-off).
>>217793335Hunger Games came out during a much larger YA craze, it's slop among slopEragon came out when YA was still a much smaller niche and its low quality stood out more
>>217791001not a series but as a standalone story it could be kinoit's weirdly prescient>main character is considered weird for having an internal monologue>tech companies have essentially formed one conglomerate, algorithms dominate everyone's personal lives and decision making>the big plot twist is that the government is planning to poison people with a vaccine
>>217793375Lol, the hunger games is fucking awful. The third book is almost unfinishable. It's not even close to Eragon wtf are you talking about.
>>217785825the source material is so stupid and foregone it could be an improvement
>>217793396That actually makes sense although I think the better answer is that Hunger Games was written for women and they have lower standards. 75% of the YA book series I read were written by women but most of them weren't written for girls like Hunger Games was. In fact most of the YA women authored series were clearly written for boys until around the time Hunger Games started coming out
Why is fantasy such a sloppy genre? All these years and Tolkien is still the only good one.
>>217793446The Del Ray era and its consequences were a disaster for fantasy
>>217785825I loved this book as a kid. Liked each following book in the series progressively less until I thought the last one was so dog shit I've never finished it. In hindsight this first entry in the series seems extremely derivative and formulaic. But maybe I liked it so much because it was following this proven hero's journey formula, even if it's not something I would find particularly interesting now, considering how much media I've consumed that has the exact same story beats.
>>217793410That sounds very kino, there were a lot of good stand alone YA books that would work well. I enjoyed this one by the Artemis Fowl author
>>217793556The part in the second book where his brother leads a rebellion is probably my favorite part but learning magic and sword-fighting are always quite fun. If anyone knows a good series that gets into the specifics of learning magic or sword fighting feel free to share. Most just seem to sort of gloss over it "he trained all day and then he could do it" sort of shit.
>>217793410Invisible Man rip off where the main character befriends a blind girl and hangs out with her naked the entire time. There was a lot of interesting speculative fiction in the YA scene. Why do they even write new stories when they can just rip off better written books for at least the next 100 years.
>>217791222>nineteen, a fuckin’ kid
You now remember all the Redwall inspired animal book series. Guardians of Ga'hoole got a badass movie actually but this one could do well as well.
>>217793375>Hunger Games is betterGet off my board, zoomshit.
>>217791022>thank you, djinni, you are truly my greatest ally
>>217786367he was eren jaeger before attack on titan was even conceived
>>217794725This one is old. How good is it? I heard about it as a kid but never actually read it
really hope this doesn't get the Percy Jackson Disney+ treatment
I tried rereading this last year. In chapter 2 or 3, Eragon confronts some random tavern drunks talking up the king. He logics them, full 2010 neckbeard atheist style. The tavern clapped. None of this is hyperbole. I did not finish the book.
>>217794448Have you ever read the Mouse Guard comic? That could use an adaptation.
>>217785835true, but it doesn't mean it should be raped again
>>217795092It's very good as far as YA goes. Tons of references to European history and myths as well as a fairly dark story with an interesting magic system.
>>217785854I felt like I was reading a Bioware game without all the crazy sex options.
>hey>hey man>i wrote a fantasy book about a dragon tamer>his name? Oh yeah I took the word dragon and moved one letter down the alphabet
if there is dragon sex then it gets a pass
>>217795896saphira shrinks eragon and puts him in her blue dragon cunt for safekeeping in the final book
>>217795923This. But you have to read the whole series up to that point to get it, or you won't be able to jerk it properly.
>>217795923I only read the first three books so I choose to believe this is true
>>217785835To be entirely fair, the author was like 15 years old when he wrote the first book>which is insane
>>217795999yeah it's an entire chapter of nothing but subtle dragon slang which was hinted out throughout the quadrilogy, but is only unveiled in the final book
>>217796021I mean in the second book they had a whole chapter talking about the etymology of the word dragon and how big their dicks are compared to other lizards.
>>217796145it was weird how he added that weird fact about dragons outright becoming flying penises once they become 1337 years old
>>217791990if you like eragon then you're the retarded faggot who likes Netflix adaptations to being with.
>>217796170It does come true in the final book epilogue though so it's set up properly. He was a 14 or 15 or 19 year old prodigy, so the writing is really good.
>>217793410>tech companies have essentially formed one conglomerate, algorithms dominate everyone's personal lives and decision making>the big plot twist is that the government is planning to poison people with a vaccinewait, do zoomers actually think these are novelty concepts? all of these conspiracy theories were already around in the 90's.
>>217785835YepIt was just a ripoff of LOTR + Star Wars
>>217795082it'd need a better ending though
>>217796303yes the prose during the penis transformation sequence was phenomenal
>>217788674I fumbled that so bad and now she has a crusty black Haitian husband.
>>217794773What's funny is the entire plotline of these books is the normal people rebelling against ((wizards)) and their demons (golems). Another funny part is in the prequel book that takes place in the court of Solomon when Bartimaeus finds out that the main antagonist's demon is genuinely fond of a human he finds the entire concept disgusting and basically calls the other demon a race traitor
>>217791022this series pretty good, although some of the character swap narratives in the second and third book really dragged on. Any section that had Bartimaeus was unbridled kino, I loved his little interjections at the bottom of the pages
>>217788500Why would you cite two book series that very rightfully got attention and adaptations? No one was overlooking those two for Eragon.
>>217785825>Nobody has posted the GOAT yet.
>>217796512Yeah I think its time to reread this Kino series.
>>217785854Even I realized reading it at like 11 that it was just Star Wars in Middle-earth. It was the first time in my life I recognized a hack.
>>217790952>you don't really get "fantasy Star Wars" at all.LmaoA farm boy lives a normal life with his Uncle, until an object comes into his posession. One that is alive. On a closer look, it gives a motive that sparks the story, and they become freinds. This is something the evil empire wants, and will stop at nothing to get. This empire only widely accepts humans, shunning almost all other races. He meets a member of a long gone organization, which used to guard the realm and keep peace until an evil person of similar powers, betrays this organization to become the leader of everything. The main characters home is destroyed and his uncle killed, leading him to flee his home village with the wizard. They continue as this old member teaches him the arts of his craft, giving the main character mystical abilities. Eventually, they run into a base(s) of the enemy, followed by the group confronting a dark lord of similar, but more power than the protagonist and the old member dying.
>>217796657My only gripe with the series is that whole Czech angle in the 2nd book can get a bit libtarded but that's redeemed by having the most based demon in the series in Honorius. The only other thing is that even after rereading the trilogy a few times I still don't like how he ended the series. It's one of those cases where I think killing off an important character detracted from the story rather than adding to it.
>>217796804The author couldn't resist with the idea that Bartimeus will now tend to appear in that characters early form.But yeah both he and the girl deserved to end up with a good life together, the way it ended just leaves misery all around.
>>217796791 While on the way, they pick up someone else, with significance to the war between the empire and a rebellion. They go to the base of the rebellion, and this is shortly followed by a great battle, of great importance. If they lose, the rebelllion is over. They win, and in the process, destroy a great force of evil the empire had control of. Then, in the aftermath, there is another attack on a rebel base striking a crippling blow. The protagonist leaves the others in order to go to a land of tree's, to learn more of his powers from an ancient being who used to be in the order. He stays there a while, learning all he needs to know. In the meantime, his friends back in the rebellion continue their rebelling, and move out to fight. They go to a place, where a dark lord surpises them, appearing when not expected. The protagonist must cut short his training to help them out, but when he fights the dark lord, he loses. This lord removes his weapon, and the hero barely escapes, only due to mercy of the dark lord.
>>217796864 The hero's sibling, then requests the hero to save their loved one. He goes there with them, and fights a difficult challenge, but the enemies don't have his powers, making it easier. Following this, he returns to the forest place once more, to finish his training. The being confirms suspicions of a surprising father, hinted by the dark lord, and he is amazed to find he is related to the dark lord. Shortly following the conclution of his training, the old being from the order training him dies. He proceeds to help the rebellion, and finds 2 battles about to start. The second is the most important, but can't begin until the first is won. They go to the first battle, and find the dark lord waiting. The protagonist handles him, and as a result, the rest of the attack proceeds and eventually succeeds. When the second attack commences, the hero finds himself talking to the leader, with such remarkable powers, nobody is a threat to him. The dark lord is also there. The leader doesn't think much of the attack, having a secret weapon to defeat them. The hero fights the dark lord, defeating, but not killing him. The leader sees it as a game, but the dark lord betrays him, greatly crippling him. The leader of the empire is defeated as a result of good, and dies. The battle continues, but the rebellion deals great blows as well as their losses, and defeats the secret weapon once and for all, finishing the battle, the war and returning peace.
>>217796881 In the aftermath, however, the hero must leave in order to pass his knowledge and skills to the next generation, leaving most of civilization behind.Now read this twice, once following it as a description of Star Wars, and again as Eragon. It may miss some details, such as the trip to get the Eldunarí, but it's generally similar, despite completely different settings."not like star wars" my ass
>>217785835It's obviously a ripoff but in fairness it rips off the best. And honestly I've read a lot of fantasy this past year that disappointed me, while Eragon, as I remember it, was pretty good for the first two or three books (I have never reread the last books so they probably disappointed me though)
>>217796921On top of that the things he didn't rip off (as far as I know) like the magic system had a decent amount of autism in it. Paolini obviously put effort into making the magic system consistent but interesting with hard limits and rules.Until he turns into a demigod and fucks off, the fucking virgin.
>>217785835pretty much
>oh yeah bros eragon was totally good at firstHave some standards.
>>217796893>>217796881>>217796864>>217796791Don't forget the colourful magic swords that can cut through anything that only the special people can use.
>>217796255Eragon was written for nerdy white kids so it’s a step up from Netflix which targets mystery meat normies.
>>217797029as if nerdy white kids aren't mystery meat themselves in america
>>217785854Same. As a kid I read through all of Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Percy Jackson, etc. I was ready for this to be my next series to read through but I quit about halfway through the first book
>third book ends with the bad guy dying one third of the way through and it is just a bunch of loose ends>eragon was simping for elf the whole time, even got elven ears for her but when the bad guy dies, eragon comes to his senses and tells the elf to fuck off and she gets upsetbasedi dont trust disney+ one bit but if they can make the first scene with the orcs as gripping and intenses like in the book with the mountain of corpses and a baby on a spike at the very top, his anger and fury sparking draconic magic that burns up the village, it mite b cool
>>217797063>and intenses
>>217797063>eragon comes to his senses and tells the elf to fuck off and she gets upsetIs that what happened? I kinda remember it it as him just expanding his veganism to include sex because he's on a higher plane or whatever.Instead he and the elf bitch just watch their dragons fuck lmao.
>>217797174i remember saphira fucked his masters dragon but did she fuck the elf bitch dragon too? i think he tried to fuck her but she attacked him instead
>>217797227Saphira thought at the time her master was the only male she was ever gonna meet and she was going though draconic puberty and essentially attacked her master so that he would fuck her. Her master bit her and told her to fuck off. At the end when Eragon meets Arya and she's a dragon knight rider too, Saphira takes to opportunity to /ss/ Aryas dragon right then and there.
>>217791001Need to go back and finish this series. I quit around the third book when the mc was stuck on an island with a princess and would rather work out than fuck with her. As a kid it frustrated me, but as an adult I might relate more.
>>217791001>tfw you’re one of the only YA book series in existence that didn’t get utterly butchered by an adaption
>>217787077you'd probably just get used to it. I haven't read the books in a a long time but aren't all dragons raised from infancy by their riders? If so they wouldn't have any other reference, probably think it's normal like those indian longhouses where everyone fucked in public.
>>217788471kek I was homeschooled for all of junior high and this would have made sense to me, I used to write my diary in mirrored Sindarin but never took the time to actually learn it so it was probably just a wordjumble
>>217792842>Anyone that actually read a lot of YA as a child knows Eragon is above averageYes, particularly during the 2000s YA first boom there were so many shit books that barely tried or kept everything as bland as possible.Although I disagree that it's better than Hunger Games, it's better written sure but the hunger games setting is more interesting.
>>217790583I know a girl at work who is really into fanfiction so I usually only read stuff she has been bugging everyone about for a long time, ie once a year at most.
>>217797029>Eragon was written for nerdy white kids>hero turns into a pacifist vegan faggotYou need to kill yourself this instant.
>>217791067this is the only book I got off of those Scholastic book fairs that I regret buying, brought it on a 13 hour plane trip and realized I was going to be bored the whole way about ten pages in.
>>217792921this got a few comicbook adaptations and the tv rights were optioned a few years ago iirc. On one hand it is perfect TV material with all the teenage angst and cringe of Fitz in the first trilogy, but I think the animal companion side of it would be difficult to adapt, it's very much a 90s trope that doesn't play as well today.
>>217798108It could be rose tinted glasses, but I remember the YA books that followed the wake of Harry Potter being a lot better before the movies absolutely skyrocketed in popularity.There seemed to be a distinct disconnect between ones that were courting book readers and those that were courting movie watchers dipping their toes in.
>>217798108I never read Hunger Games but I can't imagine reading an entire book in first person present tense
>>217798222Checked, the animal companion side is probably a main reason it hasn't been adapted already.
>>217796792I've never met anyone IRL who has heard of these books. I remember liking this franchise when I was around 12. I liked Warriors of Alavna as well, that one could easily become a short series.
The source material is dogshit so who cares
>>217798378definitely, it's going to time out though, Hobb is slowly retiring imo and the Farseer stuff isn't going to get any more popular so I don't think it will ever get a series if it doesn't get one in the next decade. Which is just as well imo, although I would have liked to see the Liveship trilogy adapted, now that is one that would have been perfect during the Pirates revival era after PotC.
>>217797063>>third book ends with the bad guy dying one third of the way through and it is just a bunch of loose endsthats LOTR
>>217798491Looking back, some of the stuff in her books is like a fever dream.
>>217798238I don't know about that but the marketing of YA completely changed after the Potter movies though, my mom worked in a WHS bookstore and YA was suddenly dragged out of the far-off nook it used to be in and got a prime section at the front of the store.
>>217798520kek yes, I remember trying to recap the story for a girl I was dating in college and there's just so much batshit stuff in there, all she said is 'those books sound really sad', which is even more true for the Nevare character in the Soldier Shaman series she wrote after.
The real question is: when are we getting this
thank god i never cared about this, the humiliation ritual the MC goes through after the writers wrote themselves into a corner like retards would make me go nuclear
>blocks your path>tells you he's been watching over you all along>casually reveals he's saved your life multiple times>offers to help if you take his hand, because there's no reason for him to waste all this effort just to betray you now>betrays you anyway because he's just a massive asshole who finds it funny Simple villains are always the best
>>217798166that's quaint. nowadays it'd be a drugged out tranny
>>217792207yeah its a great "young adult" book, like harry potter
I cant stand all this new age bullshit hate for Eragon ive been seeing lately. Yeah the movies trash. The first book is just classic kids fantasy. Cliche heros journey sword fighting dragons evil wizards elf women. I remember loving the huge travel parts and the grueling physical journey. All these people pretending to hate it are just revealing they have no soul. And the cover art is iconic. It just screams early 2000s cozy school library fantasy book fair. Id love to be a little kid and get to read books like eragon again
>>217791851>I am the disreputable dog, or the disreputable bitch if you want to get technical. Now, when are we going for a walkThat was some damn good foreshadowing
>>217799343still one of my favourite fantasy worlds to date
>>217793560Reading some of the behind the scenes about Artemis Fowl was fascinating.I had no idea as a kid that book 5 sparked an absolute meltdown from people wanting Artemis to eventually fuck Holly
>>217785835Yep came here to say exactly this
>>217799993I felt the same way. I enjoyed book 5 with absolutely no consideration to the idea of Artemis and Holly getting together. Book 6 made me go "what the fuck am I reading?"
>>217800401The extinctionists were such a bizarrely retarded concept that I thought it was a parody at first
>>217785825>going to rape the source materialBut Disney's already been raping Star Wars for a decade anon
Will it include the Forest orgy scene?
>>217792921fuck please don't let tv retards ruin fitz or the liveship traders
>>217793327>Wasn't the mc cucked out of his waifu too?yeah by his father figure
>>217786501Angela was an insert for his little sister. Read it with that in mind and you can see he didnt care how you feel about her- he wrote her to make 1 particular human happy and that in turn makes me happy. Its based and I would do the same if I had a sister or anything resembling drive or talent.
If none of the main characters including Arya (especially Arya) are black, then Ill watch it no matter how gurlpower or gay they make it. If they raceswap main characters I wont watch it. Its that simple.The dwarves can be black. There. That's my concession (and it's no small concession even if the dwarfes are small in stature, they play a big role.
>>217793556Opposite for me. I felt each book was better than the last and that the author was actively improving as he went. A fictional character not getting laid fails to make me hate a story lmao
>>217800899kek
>>217790747>Eragon was one of the first books that had an active hatedom on the internetThat's because the original fansite shurtugal.com or whatever was absolutely draconian in its moderation. Even the most measured criticisms of the book's flaws would result in bans. Nothing shirt of effusive, slobbering praise of the "prodigy" f̶i̶f̶t̶e̶e̶n̶ nineteen-year-old author was tolerated.
>>217785825Can't do worse than the movie
>>217799993Was book 5 the one with the demons and the girl Artemis? I think I stopped reading after the next book because it got retarded, though I could barely say what the fuck happens in it other than time travel and some heavy handed "save the animals" stuff.
>>217790893Mortal engines was published 7 years before the hunger games, are you thinking of something else? They're mostly good apart from the third one.
>>217790758You can't deny that the first book is almost exactly star wars with a LOTR theme, 2 and 3 have some good moments, so does 4 but it ends badly.
>>217785825>The Disney+ series is absolutely going to rape the source material isn't it?>the source materialDidn't the Mouse already rape, kill, and bury Star Wars?
>>217804641Mortal Engines is such an odd series. It was already pretty damn goofy with its premise and then it just went off the rails. Trying to remember the later books is like a fever dream.
>>217804713>You can't deny that the first book is almost exactly star wars with a LOTR themeSo is the second, right up to "Luke I am your father". Or "Eragon I am your brother rather". He fucking trains with Yoda and everything prior too.
>>217785825Didn't this book only get buzz when it initially was released because it was written by a kid in high school? Why was it ever relevant beyond that novelty when it came out?
>>217785825Bravo, Paolini
>>217796474>now she has a crusty black Haitian husband.Is that her revenge against her dad for homeschooling her?
>>217785825>>217804824Is the dragon meant to be giving me bedroom eyes?
Has to. The source material is just star wars and lotr mixed
>>217804870Yes, Saphira is a semen demon who wants to repopulate her race with any male she can find
>>217804584Yeah, 5 is demons and italian female artemis. It's the last one that actually feels like Artemis fowl. >time travel and save the animalsThat's the entirety of the time paradox and then the atlantis complex is just bad
>>217796966The magic system is just lazily copied off a mix of DnD and Niven's magic goes away series
I remember the book fondly because I posted on the forums for it as a kid. Made a lot of friends while participating in text based RPG story telling threads. I never read past the first book and never saw the movie. I refuse to look back on it now and ruin my memories of that time in my life.
>>217797794Based. It's wild how the author went straight to an anime adaptation because she and her kids are weebs.
>>217796966>On top of that the things he didn't rip off (as far as I know) like the magic system had a decent amount of autism in it. Paolini obviously put effort into making the magic system consistent but interesting with hard limits and rules.Get fucked. One of you faggots say this every time.>>217804932No. It is lifted WORD FOR WORD from A Wizard of Earthsea.
>>217790583I want a live action adaptation of "Becoming Female"https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5822132/1/Becoming-Female>"Get us a table for two, you slag," Ron said offensively to Madam Rosmerta. Pansy didn't mind dating someone as sexist as Ron because she was a slut.
I remember really liking these books when I was in like kindergarten even with their ICO ass covers. Probably better written than Eragon too lol
slightly offtopic but anyone here ever read Broken Sky? had forgotten the name and had to use AI to figure it out lol
>>217796792Nix only wrote kinosI remember this one as being basically EVA meets the Matrix, but there's a scene where it describes the characters taking off or putting on their skintight suits and notes the girls' losing their brasWhich made me feel like I was reading some smut and got me super erect
>>217785835I liked the magic system at least.
>>217805048>"Take off your clothes!" Ron demanded. "Girls shouldn't be allowed to wear clothes if they look hot. They should also make 75 cents for every every dollar men make and not have the right to choose!"
>>217798641We already got it in the form of 2009 Linkin Park AMV deviantart jpeg slideshows on youtube

>>217791122Why would I read something other than fantasy or sci fi?All that's left is boring real life shit.
>>217805140The part in Sabriel where she's in the bath and mistakes the couple in the room next to her fucking as the prince she has a crush on as the man and gets jealous then blushes genuinely reads like something out of a high school romance anime.

>>217804870>>217804917...I just noticed the tooth is positioned to make it look like she's biting her lip.Did the hire a scaly as the cover artist the same way Blizzard did to make that new dragon race?
>>217791001Does this one count. I honestly want to see an adaption but I worry at how they'd ruin it.>>217805140>>217805359Apparently Nix has been asked so many times "how he writes such strong female characters when he's a man" that he has an FAQ explaining "I just write characters man">>217797794I hated the anime because it dropped all the puzzle and logic bits and just went 'haha flashy fights with swords and also we'll bring back that one witch to pad out the run time again and again'
>>217785825I never read these i just thought the different colored dragons on the cover art of each book looked cool. No clue what theyre even about
>>217805673Star Wars but the lightsabres are dragons
rangers apprentice bros wy@???
>>217805702Trying to keep up after the author has already gone back to writing a whole new series the last half dozen times he said he's getting old and this is his last book.I'm not complaining, I just think Flanagan needs to go to an AA meetup
>>217796792I read these as a kid, twice, still couldn't wrap my head around the ending. I liked the Old Kingdom and the Seventh Tower though. And I still headcanon they're the same 'setting' because the colour magic is really clearly Nix reusing his original idea of candles instead of bells for the Old Kingdom. Maybe one day he'll pull an Emily Roda and retcon them into the same setting like she did with >>217797794 and >>217805075
>>217785835fpbp
actually one of the few times when suits meddling might improve it.
>>217791022this series was kino
>>217791222Yeah, a kid.
>>217805918>Monkey's paw curlsRather than ripping off the Star Wars OT and LotR it now rips off the sequels and Rings of Power
>>217796966Putting aside that the magic actually is rather brazenly ripped off, I don't think it's especially well thought out or consistent in how he implemented it. Dragon magic is basically just bullshit that can do whatever and the dragon heart stone things (eldunari?) are a massive contrivance. Wards are too obviously something he came up with post-facto and had to pretend was always a thing because he was too fond of thinking up ways to cheat the system and thus made the system far too generous about precision, forcing him to hastily justify why everyone wasn't just casting Mass Brain Hemorrhage. Also the whole thing gets really fucking nebulous when you get to more purely supernatural effects. Like Eragon just trivially makes a little extra dimensional hole in space to carry all his eldunari(?) around in. What the fuck is the equivalent physical effort of creating a pocket dimension?
>>217805918They recently did Percy Jackson and made half the characters black, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
>>217805354I mainly read horror novels and short stories. These can dabble into fantasy and sci-fi on their own, but are far more engaging in my opinion.
>>217806216>Greek series>Make half the characters look authentically Greek rather than look like WASP AmericansWhat's the issue exactly?
>>217806326>authentically Greek
>big fan of Temeraire>was always sad about not getting live action>now>relief that Amazon wont rape it
>>217806455The real irony is if you actually wanted to do a series that is 'Euro focused' but still has black/non-European main characters and actually engages with "social justice issues" then Temeraire is actually perfect for it if you just follow the plot of the books.Amazon of course is repelled be nuance and good story so wouldn't touch it without fucking it upKinda wish there was a prequel to it though beyond that one short story with the Romans, I want to see the Thirty Years War but 'Streif' is Gustavus Adolphus' dragon, not his horse
Reminder that in addition to be enlightened vegan atheists Tortellini's elves are furries who use magic to become animal/elf hybrids and there's a character who is a blue furred wolf-elf who women are uncomfortable around because he emits a musk that makes them horny and no I am not making any of that up.
>>217806592Now lets be entirely fair, isn't that just a slash combo of Malfurion and Illidan?
>>217806592Elves also don't have pubes, that's one of the main things I remember from the books for some reason
>>217806628Based, elves shouldn't have body hair that doesn't come out of their scalpYes I am straight, how could you tell?
all I remember is the last book was such a series of asspulls that made it abundantly clear that the author did not fucking plan the series at all go ahead and desecrate this corpse, I don't think anyone will honestly care.
>>217796335Why’s that bad?
>>217798266Good to know that normies can't into first person. I'm always confused on which normies prefer because almost all the books I read are in first person so I'm always thinking that's what I should do but then I remember most people don't read exclusively books from the fin-de-siecle and get confused. It's an extremely low IQ take to complain about a PoV tense though unless it's done poorly which isn't the reason for the complaint usually. I can't imagine why reading a first person monologue could be annoying unless you don't have an inner monologue/dialogue which makes perfect sense considering how NPC of a thing it is to complain aboutPeople really go through life on auto pilot and get mentally mindfucked when asked to read something from the perspective of someone that actually has inner thoughts lmao. It's pretty sad actually
They're making this again???I'll be honest never read the books or the movie(s). And that's saying something because if there's dragons I'm all over that shit.But Disney? Naw. Can't trust it. And neither should you.
>>217806788It's a really, really egregious ripoff, see >>217786699 and >>217791026
>>217786699>Angrenost - Angrenost
>>217805048For me it’s >sadly it turned out Bagman was retarded
>>217806216To be fair, Riordan is now a shamelessly performative hypocrite who will fully support race lifting half the cast, despite him famously complaining about the movie not getting a character’s blonde hair right, so suits were likely pleasantly surprised to find him demanding more race lifts than they initially wanted.
>>217806816I'm not a huge book reader but first person present sounds very robotic to me
>Dragon -> Drogon>Dragon -> EragonWhy are american authors like this?
>>217788500The only YAslop I enjoyed back then had some guy called mongo who was a retard who became a chad, children who were old people, and some normies got roasted in cages.Probably would be shit if I read it again though.
>>217808110Windsinger?
>>217808143Yeah that's it.
i remember the scholastic catalog blurb lauding the fact that he was only 15 or so when the book was published. blew young me away....then you find out his parents are publishers haha.
>>217808179I'm surprised he's not jewish desu.
>>217787077>>217798027It's not just another person you have a mental bond with, it rewrites you on a fundamental level so you're two parts of a whole.
>>217791001circle of magic. maybe decades from now ai will make it a reality...
Any books where the MC fucks the dragon?
>>217808202Worse, he's It*lian, his bloodline is from Rome itselfProbably had the Pontiff himself financing his books
>>217786728FFS the title is just Dragon but swap the D with the letter after it. Total genius author
>>217804917She literally tries to rape the dragon of Eragon's mentor
>>217808075I'm not american and I call my dog "dog". I think it suits him well, since he is in fact a dog.Btw does anyone remembers a YA series where the protagonist is a teenage boy and has a white dog called Ghost? There is a part where he travels to the Bermuda Triangle. I really liked it when I was about 10.
>>217805652That series is a great one to reread. The foreshadowing is amazing, and you appreciate little details like the fact getting caught was part of Mogget’s plan
haha poopy farty
>>217788471Was she cute though?
>>217808270That's Tamors Pierce right? I'm more partial to Alanna or the Wild Magic series but either would be fine. And they've already got the woke baked in, even got minorities when the series takes characters abroad!But I'm sure they would ruin it and have the MCs become Mary Sue's and never struggle because millennial women must have their girl bosses win immediately without any trials or hardship even if it's already in the fucking story
>>217797794Her follow up series were good too (The Shadowlands) and also the other series about Roran? That was good too
>>217796629Interesting, I've never heard of this but it's a clear reference to Captain Bluebeard, an old European (French) tale.
I like MurtaghThey should give a good adaptation to his story. I said good, therefore not Disney, but yeah his adaptation needs to exist.
>>217785835This. Only dragonfuckers like it.
>>217810383that's a huge amount of people, anon
>>217797292Because Arya's dragon was hatched very recently right? So Saphira milf mommy had her way with the baby dragon. Has anyone searched the files for Saphira her?
>>217791022I want a Barty series so badly. It could be done really well, too. And I don't think it's copium at all to think that a true-to-the-source series would sell well either! The /tv/ memes would be glorious
>>217798430Both those books look awesome. The first one reminded me of another decent book involving the Devil and God - The Wish List by Eon Colifer (sp?). The guy who wrote Artemis Fowl. And the second book reminds me a lot of "The Ravens Ring Pin" which I posted earlier in this thread. It's about going back to Norse mythology times though. Kinda like The Sea of Trolls by Nacy Farmer but better imo.
>>217810600The dialogue is really good, if they copied Bartimeus dialogue word for word I'm sure it'd be fine, better than fine. It's clear a lot of people want it, this is why I hate focus groups. They never seem to represent what people actually want and are looking for
>>217810284That's a very nice concept art, hopefully with AI movies someone can make this link a reality
>>217810613Yeah I loved those books, must have re-read them at least a dozen times as a kid. A few years after that I started reading Gaiman's Sandman stuff and it made me like it all over again.I haven't read it in fifteen years but I remember enjoying how the way the immortal characters integrated into the modern world and the interactions between pantheons. The author really made the universe feel believable.I'll check out The Ravens Ring Pin, I have a hard time enjoying young adult fiction now but I have a young cousin that I'm always looking to get books for.
>>217810646How do you think they should do Bart's footnotes? That's what I liked the most as a kid and I feel like having it as an internal monologue wouldn't be as fun. Bartimaeus is often quite funny and I worry a show wouldn't be able to do it properly or just devolve into only keeping his snide quips.
>>217810734It could have like a thought bubble animation to it alongside dialogue. Or like a recurring scene of baritmeus writing his quips on parchment paper with a magically floating quill. Something like that
>>217810819The parchment thing could work if they made it in that classic form where bits of the action are spliced in between the lines. I expect the adaptation would probably follow Nat a lot more anyways.
>>217797029There's a Netflix based on this. Here's something to know about this series, it's worse than Percy Jackson.
