Nitecrawler 884 Member Since: 6/3/03 Posts: 28994	slam1523 - legends>chronicles I wouldn't say legends was better. Legends starts off with Caramon all fat and shit with Raistlin living in the house right? Don't they go back in time and Caramon starts fighting in some gladiator type shit that is like WWE. I think Tass goes along for the ride and gets left behind during the cataclysm right? You have ignored this user.

Steve72 - I totally didn't cry when Sturm died.

I totally didn't either....

I don't think Tass died in the Cataclysm...didn't Fizban or someone like that save him? IIRC that was fucked up cause Raistlin gave Tass some object that he said would save Tass and poor Tass is sitting there trying to make it work as the sky is raining fire. That shit fucked me up the first time I read it.

As I said on the thread in the geekground, when LOTR hit it big in theatres I thoguht it was only a matter of time till a good DL movie came out. I was then told that there was a shitty animated movie that came out a few years ago which fucking hurts my soul LOL.

Anyway, I wonder if they will ever get around to making a DL movie.

In any case, how could you not love Tass? The dude was a little badass...albeit a fucking cleptomaniac.

I'm 97% done the first Sanderson book. It's not bad. The only difference I've really noted is that he tends to string chapters about a single character together, and I don't recall Jordan doing that.

To be frank, Jordan himself really wasn't a great writer. He built a very cool, very detailed universe, with an unbelivable amount of important, unique characters...but his writing was a bit jarring at times.
