It's not misogyny, realistically, Robert Jordan wrote for Conan for four years. I feel the Wheel of Time was his way of making female characters that were empowered. Unfortunately, and someone else put this very well higher up, it comes off as a chauvinistic interpretation of empowerment. I'm not saying he was a chauvinist necessarily, but his interpretation of empowerment is making his women unlikable and making his men the subject of ridicule, even when they're the plots "messiah". It's an interesting interpretation, but all it is is role reversal, which is unrealistic and equally annoying.Giest4life said:I know what you mean, but I think I've grown to like her after the Tower of Midnight--it's just Elayne and Egwene I hate now. And that's not the misogynist in me speaking.
Guess you won't enjoy Mistmantle then. And it's cool, Loamhedge wasn't the absolute best, possibly one of the worst of the series.Magnesium360 said:Sorry mate, but it's a book about talking woodland creatures. When Loamhedge got to its third page depicting butterfly's frolicking in the flower filled medows I just couldn't take it anymore. I can't speak for the entire series, but after the expectations Loamhedge set for me, I can take a wild stab and say that it doesn't interest me. You're free to have your own opinion, and I'm free to have mine. You don't have to get angry because the conflict.Speaking as one who LOVES Redwall...Screw off man! Redwall's freakin' awesome! I will agree though, Loamhedge ISN'T the best book in the series. Sad to say, that still is Martin the Warrior.....of course speaking as one whose read the books in order, when Martin stumbles into Mossflower, without a wife, without a father, it's..pretty obvious what's gonna happen to Rose. See the Tomoe effect given to us by Rurouni Kenshin...Magnesium360 said:Too many, i'll have to make a list someday. This is a start, though.
-Bella Swan and every single one of her love interests
-Everyone ever to appear in the same series as that god awful book Loamhedge (never made it past page 14)
-Most people in Oblivion, the self-interested pricks.
-Every character to originally appear in the Kingdom Hears series
-The old lady in the Max Payne 2 level No "Us" in this who says oh-so believably "I heard a noise, a noise woke me up"
-And Princess Peach, for reasons including but not limited to her always getting abducted, and everyone else being surprised
-Diddy Kong, because he's an annoying prick
Everyone likes him because he's a blank slate. You can paint on whatever personality you like and it wouldn't effect the characterization.Atmos Duality said:Gordon Freeman
Who the hell is he? Why does everyone love him? He has less personality than Keanau Reeves for fuck's sake! The only time I get any information on his character is when it's being delivered in second-hand exposition.
Half-Life 2 is great and all, but Gordon Freeman just might be the absolute most boring part of it all.
Thank God there are games where she doesn't show up..NORMALLY. I actually liked her in Windwaker, if only because Tetra is actually likeable as a character, she's a snarky, tomboyish, rather fun character.8-Bit Grin said:I really disliked Drizzt in R.A. Salvatores Novels.
Enjoyed everyone else, despised his whining.
Also, Zelda pisses me off.
I can't explain it, but every time she gets screen time it bothers me.
I agree wholly, although, as i am still fairly early in the game, i cannot say for certain.ArkhamJester said:I concur, though Vannile to me is as if the devils advocate reincarnated himself in hag form. I actually posted in the past that I wanted her in a meat grinder.CarpathianMuffin said:Vanille from FFXIII. Strangely enough, I think that's it.
I like most other characters in games that I'm supposed to, even some that I'm not supposed to.
