- In the newest Warrior Cats book Thunder, we have a few instances of the writers making decisions that improve upon criticism by the fans. Whether or not they are intentional, they are interesting to look at.

Nothing brings me more joy than when creators listen to what their fans want. With such a huge fanbase, you'd think the authors would listen more to our agreed upon ideas, but it's a rare occasion. Hopefully this digs us out of whatever holes the series has fallen into.
i hope the next book they listen too :D
yAS!
Yeah, something that RUclips can't do
Real
You just got a like :)
I loved seeing Frostpaw and Nightheart's friendship! It's very rare when male and female cats are just friends and don't end up being mates! ✨
Also, the scene that resembles therapy touched me deeply, since I go to therapy myself and I could empathize with Frostpaw, it was a nice touch (Other cats need therapy too ;-;)
We should make a list of all the cats that need a little therapy session with the meditating cat
I start
Brambleclaw
Squirrelstar
Blossomfall
Brackenfur
Alderheart
Spotfur
Tawnypelt
Dovewing
Ivypool
Sunbeam
Puddleshine
Shadowsight
Alderheart
Crowfeather
Breezepelt
Nightcloud
Rootspring
Twigbranch
Mothwing
Mistpaw
Graypaw
Frostpaw (She deserves another round)
Sparkpelt
@@taeko3508it’s so sad yet hilarious how cats who need therapy is a re-occurring thing
That was something I loved about the book, that Frost was able to find a true friend. And, if I think about it, she never truly had a friend, except perhaps in her siblings. But even then she barely ever talked to them before Shadow.
Its also awesome that Nightheart did that, and I love him for it. Its all because of his amazing character growth he had, mainly because of Sunbeam, that really changed him for the better.
That's also great because it breaks the third wheel pattern. Yes, it's still the friend between two mates trope but Frostpaw is way more than just a good friend of the two most important cats. I wish they'd have done that with Shadowsight, instead he was just a cat that got manipulated and the other two protagonists had to save the day. That's what made his pov boring, he felt like he was less important than the rest, as if his existence was purely a stepping stone for Ashfur and then he was no longer needed other than getting bullied. Frostpaw goes through a journey of healing and figuring out the truth and then returns ready to fix things. Her pov is interesting because she's not just Splashtail's stepping stone. Through her the readers learn the truth and can sympathize with her trauma and trust issues and they can also see the growth of her character without feeling like it was rushed. Frostpaw has her own importance and she's not just a third wheel but at the same time, she doesn't make the other two characters less valuable or interesting. In conclusion, the readers can enjoy all povs and be immersed in the story.
Ivypool as deputy is just as important as squirrelflight being leader, at least in my opinion, for three reasons. First, Ivypool is awesome, second Ivypool could eventually become leader, and finally, no lionblaze as deputy. Berryheart is also great in this arc, she's awful, but in a good way.
The only other confirmed instance of a she-cat leader and she-cat deputy is Leopardstar and Mistystar. You're 100% right, Ivypool's deputyship is super important!
Ivystar has a good ring to it!
@@Scaryspider555 Yes, it does😀
@@higgy0789I don't think the gender of these cats matter in this case, I think it's more of a "These characters were the perfect choice because they were competent" ordeal.
@@SavouryGalette fair, I just think it’s a weird pattern that I’m glad to see broken.
Im glad they have listened, they have been a lot of complaints and I’m glad that Tree actually started to do something, also I’m glad Sunbeam got some character personality and not just falling for Nightheart.
[ IM SORRY I ACCIDENTALLY PUT NIGHTSTAR- ITS FIXED NOW ]
night.s.tar…?
@@intergalactic4323my reaction exactly
Bro giving that spoiler for Wind/Star lol
I'm glad they gave Sunbeam better personality, and I hope they focus around her more in the next book!
Thunder has become my new favorite main series book. It ticks every box except showing us Squirrelstar’s nine lives ceremony, still want to see that one day, but it had my attention in every chapter and I was blow away. I excepted next to nothing except plot progression from this book and I ended up loving it so much 10/10
I'm pretty sure they're keeping Squirrelstar's ceremony for a novella, the character is just too popular and has known so many other fan favorite characters that could give her lives, not to miss out on the opportunity
@@raphlas8635 Or in a futur super edition
They did that for Bramblestar
@@raphlas8635 I wish that were true, but they don’t make novellas anymore 😔 so I have little hope for it. Maybe a graphic novel? But we just had a thunderclan centric one so…🤷♀️
I didn't know they didn't make novellas anymore, that's stupid! The novellas were important to the story too, specifically Leafpool and Hollyleaf's novellas
@@lilybethwalters4433 Damn.. Hopefully they think this wouldn't be really a Thunderclan-centered graphic novel, but a Squilf-centered one ? I mean, a super-edition would be cool too, like, Squilf's pov from the beginning of TBC to her Leader ceremony, but she already had an SE so uhh.. yeah..
I’m usually drawn to the ‘sidekick’ characters so seeing Nightheart be Frostpaws main support in this book made me love my boy even more.
Nightheart is easily gotten into my top 5 warrior cats. He is so sweet, naive and his time with frost paw is soooooo cute. The way he helped her overcome her fear of climbing trees/dogs and was patient with her were some of my favorite parts of the book.
Also…SQUIRRELSTAR YESSSS! I love how we got some bramble and squirrel moments of them just being friends was nice.
Bramblestar and Squirrelflight would have better NEVER become mates. I wanted them to be friends from the begging, and when they started romance, I was just🙄. Happy to see their relationship running in this way
Nightheart ‘s one of my favorites too! Maybe, if I started reading WC after his arc was completed, he would’ve been my number 1 favorite!
I do love Nightheart a lot, the way he grew as a character from River to Shadow is just so cool. His character is probably one of the better developed ones, from starting off in River, fully believing everyone in his clan was against him, and even worse, keeping it to himself, to finding Sunbeam and finally being able to confess his feelings, and finally his biggest growth when he goes to shadowclan to be with Sunbeam, he realizes that he truly cares about his clan, now that he is able to think about it clearly. Which is actually something I do, which is probably why I loved his story.
@@Dorpoforp The fandom hating Nightheart was mostly because the guy who posted spoilers of River and Sky hated Nightheart, so he was very biased lol
I wasn't crazy about Nightheart's POV in the first two books, but part of that was because I wanted to like him despite being annoyed. Since Shadow, though, he's quickly become one of my favorite characters in the series in a long time, and Thunder (which might be my favorite mainline book) all but cements it. His development as a character is probably my favorite from Warriors.
I really enjoyed Thunder, especially Night's and Frost's friendship. And how as the journey went on it shifted from Frostpaw thinking she "needed" Night to protect her to them book looking out for each other (whether it'd be emotional support or figuring out how to best get past problems).
Also, I find it Sunbeam's trials very interesting. And how unlike Berryheart who went out of her way to make hard and dangerous tasks Ivypool instead focused on teamwork aside from the final one which was about knowing the territory.
And I don't find Sunbeam's trial that easy either. Training kits or moving a huge rock is not an easy task at all.
@@groudonvert7286 Yea that's true. They weren't easy, but they seemed somewhat fair.
@groudonvert7286 That's true, but the tasks were also less dangerous then Berryheart's trials. They were difficult, but they were noticeably safer than Berryheart's
Thunder really cranked things up a notch, and we're only on book 4. The ending was really reminiscent of when Tigerclaw was announced as leader of ShadowClan, with Fireheart staring up at the Great Rock in horror.
I feel so, so bad for Frostpaw. This poor, poor she cat has been lied to her whole life. She was never meant to be a medicat, and Curlfeather pushed that on her since kithood only to further her own ambition. That's cold. I'm really glad that Frostpaw had an extended therapy session filled with positive affirmation cause BOY she needs it. I love how supportive Nightheart is of her. I can't wait to see how things wrap up.
I've never been so happy to be proven wrong before. I was convinced Squirrel would die. But she finally became leader!! I'm so proud of her! And Ivypool!! Finally a girlboss duo in power!!
I love Frostpaw's character, and I love how they put her in the story. Not only this, but I might point out, that the Warriors series has always been very intense and series, usually negative in the emotions they give their characters, apart from the relationships. I like how, with the park cats, they told Frost and Night they should play with them, and how Frost realized that she didn't really know how to play anymore. It was like acknowledging that the clans are always serious, there is no time for playing and such, all very depressing after a while. I'm super excited to see what the new clan will be like, and how it will work out! Especially since RiverClan was always very peaceful and welcoming in the DotC. It all makes sense.
There’s most certainly one more big victim blaming character that makes the others pale in comparison, and that’s Bumble. She goes out into the forest seeking refuge from her abusive housemate Tom and is sent back to her abuser after she told them that being nicer to him won’t work, being nicer to her twolegs won’t work and more treats won’t fix the fact she’s being abused (yes, all stuff the forest cats suggested because they didn’t want a fat lazy kittypet, convinced she would never survive out there and never even tried). Then when she dies at Clear Sky’s paws when she tries to survive out there anyway because SHE DOESN’T WANT TO GO BACK TO HER ABUSER, Gray Wing blames her death on her basically saying her death out in the woods was inevitable and being more worried about how cats would view his brother as a murderer.
I do certainly agree that Frostpaw is a step in the right direction after all this time of seeing victim after victim being blamed in canon, I just couldn’t let my girl Bumble go unacknowledged because what happened to her was shitty and so much blame seemed to be laid on her or at least the cats who denied her help seemed to think she could just fix it on her own even when she said that wasn’t possible.
That's a good point! I've forgotten about Bumble since I haven't read Dawn of the Clans since the books came out.
Gray Wing is clearly biased, so I doubt you were meant to agree. His attitude against kittypets is called out by Turtle Tail afaik.
@uglyfense7754 agreed, but he changes after that, and eventually Turtle Tail forgives him. Plus, that was in the early books, he is different further in. (Gray Wing is my favorite character in DotC btw 😅)
@@Dorpoforp Yea, which is the point. How he spoke of Bumble was wrong, Turtle Tail called him out on it, and he bettered himself later.
This book was seriously one of the best in the whole series !
Why ?
Well Sunbeam and Frostpaw get a lot of character developpement ! It is really great and well driven !
Squirrelstar happens !! I LOVE Squirrelstar alot ! And I think it's the first time I'm so happy about a cat becoming leader.
Ivypool is deputy ! She is my second favourite so far and she is already doing so great as a deputy ! I would LOVE an Ivystar. The authors actually listened to us !!!
Whistlepaw got way more attention which is great ! She is the first Windclan med app we got for long !
And oh gosh ... the plot twist with what happened on Riverclan. Frostpaw's visions explained and Curlfeather dramatical turn ! This was awesome ! Bertyheart revealing herself as well as Splashtail taking over Riverclan ! Gosh this book left me breathless !
What happened???
Imho, the worst part is squirrelbitch being leader, the only good way this arc ends is with ivystar
I mean I really like Squirrelflight/star and Ivypool so both of them as leader is great !@@IceFireAnimates
I gaped at that plot twist, I loved it so much.
Also, the fact that Frostpaw got spayed is so funny for me lma, 20 years of arcs, and finally a cat gets spayed.
I absolutely love how Ivypool, Finchlight and Sparkpelt stood up for Sunbeam.
I hated Night x Sun in the begging, but now I love it, they finally stopped making lovers suck.
Love that she already has a good SIL relationship with Finch.
OMG AAAAAA POOKIE
Honestly, Thunder was probably one of the best warrior cat book we had in a long time
I red it so fastly , it was so enjoyable
I particulary loved the little trip with Frostpaw and Nightheart. After 3 books of living hell , it was relieving to see Frostpaw just step away from the situation, get some rest , make new friends and just reflect on what happened since the beguining
Sunbeam's chapter were very cool too ! Her trials were very interresting (Now I sure hope she get to mentor one of Spotfur's kits)
Oh ! And bonus point for having Spotfur curse in front of her kids
“Stemkit lashed his tail. “Mouse dung!” he swore.
“Hush!” Sunbeam blinked at him in alarm. “Your mother’s watching.”
“She says it all the time,” Stemkit told her indignantly.” (Hunter, 76)
Keep in mind, Spotfur was watching 😭😭😭😭
That was hilarious 😂!
i really liked thunder! im very glad the writers are finally paying attention
Honestly, this is probably the best warrior cats book in a very long time. I LOVED the solidarity between Sunbeam, Finchlight, Sparkpelt, and Squirrelstar
It is by far the best warriors book, and we could use a break from the grim, gloom and doom thing that the books have been giving us recently.
The best book this year*
Akira has spoken
So they listened
And we received
I really loved Frostpaw's arc this book, how it focuses on healing from abuse, learning to trust and feel safe again, and leaning on your support system. All such important messages that I thought were handled surprisingly well for a warrior's book
There's 2 more things that happens in Thunder. The first thing is, after Squirrelflight becomes Squirrelstar, she chooses Ivypool as her deputy. You pointed out in one of your previous videos who Squirrelstar might choose as deputy, and you thought Squirrelstar might choose Ivypool as her deputy. Your assumptions were correct as Thunder reveals Ivypool being ThunderClan's new deputy. The other thing is about Reedwhisker's death. I asked two of my Roblox friends who they think could've killed Reedwhisker, and their answer was Splashtail. In Thunder, it is revealed that Reedwhisker was indeed killed by Splashtail, but there's a twist to Reedwhisker's death. Two cats were responsible for the former RiverClan's deputy's death. While it was revealed that Splashtail was Reedwhisker's murderer, there's one more cat that was responsible for Mistystar's son's death, and that cat was Curlfeather. I was not expecting Frostpaw's mother to be a killer since it was revealed in one of the previous books, StarClan chose Curlfeather to be RiverClan's new leader before being killed by dogs. She went to StarClan after her death, but after Thunder was released, she was sent to the dark forest after Reedwhisker's death was revealed. StarClan's decisions are kinda messed up. MAKE UP YOUR MIND STARCLAN
I actually don’t think Curlfeather was ever in Starclan. It’s shown in Thunder that she was never chosen by Starclan to be leader, she Told Splashtail to put the curled feather by the trail. It’s another Hawkfrost situation. Thunder also makes it abundantly clear that Frostpaw NEVER had true Starclan visions until the one by the river where she saw Reedwhisker’s death. So all of Frostpaw’s visions before that point-including the ones about her mother-weren’t real. I think Curlfeather was always in the Dark Forest, it’s not a situation where Starclan let her in at first and then corrected it later. She was always there. Riverstar says she made her choice, and it’s implied Starclan knew all along what she was planning.
Uh... she was sent to the Dark Forest from the beginning. Splashtail faked the sign (like Hawkfrost with Mothwing) so Curlfeather would become leader.
Also, Frostpaw never got any real visions from Starclan before Reedwhisker revealed her his death in Shadow.
The sign was fake, Starclan didn’t actually choose her
@@groudonvert7286I thought Mistystar briefly visited Frostpaw shortly after her death in River, but I might be misremembering.
@@batscorpion95 Leopardstar was an exception, but she could imagine that too... otherwise, she didn't see any starclan cat before Reedwhisker.
i’m glad that they didn’t ruin sunbeam :D
in the first half of the book i was mad that she wasn’t starting her villain arc but now i like her :D
Which villain arc again ? XD
Evil Sunbeam? Nahhhhhh! That would never happen :b
I would argue the main reason we didn’t read any of the mediator meetings was because we are only privy to things that the POV’s experience, and we can’t have Sunbeam going to *every* meeting just to be a camera for us. She has her own arc she’s going through. Other characters make sure to talk about what happened during the meetings and what the outcomes were, so it’s not like we’re missing anything. Plus, Finchlight sort of describes how Tree mediates in the first place. He’s apparently truly impartial and has a knack for knowing how each leader is going to respond before they even say anything. I wouldn’t consider these writing decisions to be lazy, more so just a natural limitation from how the chapters are written and organized, which they go to the effort to write around so we get all the information we need, regardless.
I'm glad the warriors writers are listening to the fans! honesty in my opinion the warrior cats bookers were... a bit bland, but with these newer books i say they are finally going on the right track to make great books!
I love everything you've stated here. And it doesn't mean much to most people, but I genuinely believe Molly from the park cats was added for me. See, I was the one to submit Mollypaw as a name on the poll and mentioned how she had been my childhood cat that passed 2 years ago. Obviously, Wafflepaw swept her and the others. Now you're telling me there's a cat that happens to share her name and description? I... even if it's a coincidence, it makes me so happy to see MY CAT have a moment in the books. ❤️
Awwww, I hope they actually did see it and add her! :3
SQUIRRELSTAR LES GOOOO! 🎉🎉
ivypool deserved to be dep!
Thunder is probably my favorite book in ASC so far. I was NOT excited for Squirrelstar and did not particularly like how she led the clan in TBC, but this book pulled it off so well that it’s hard to stay mad.
This was the first warriors book I fully analysed myself, and it was honestly very enjoyable (especially when comparing to Rverstar’s home, who even in this book managed to be a boring and unreasonable addition). I think Frostpaw working through her trauma was easily the best part-and the best character development-in the book. The park cats and Nightheart’s support helped her to ACTUALLY recover, and realise she was taken advantage of, and by the end she seemed way more confident and we know WHY. She went from being my least favourite protagonist in this arc to most favourite. This book managed to do something Warrior cats seems to have a problem with, not only healing but also becoming less anxious and learning to trust again (something Alderheart and Shadowsight didn’t get). I also think the way park cats were shown in this book is great-and when Frostpaw said that it would make more sense for the clans to stop quarrelling and live in peace, I was like “yeah Frostpaw, that’s literally what everyone’s thinking”. It was a good book.
I'm thrilled to see Ivypool as deputy and hope she becomes Ivystar one day!! I knew Splashtail was a villain but it broke my heart to see Frostpaw react ro Curlfeather in her dreams. Nightheart is a great friend to Frostpaw
Cuando vi un nene de frostpaw qué había sobrevivido, me fui directa a la wiki para saber más y Dios, me encantó ver que Squirrelstar fuera canon, ivypool fuera lugarteniente, intriga en berryheart y splashtail. Dios, es la primera vez que me emocionó demasiado por un libro
I really liked Thunder!! I love how they really talked about Frostpaws trauma and like was mentioned in the video, taking a stand against victim blaming. A lot of warrior cats books can feel so flat and emotionless to me- like they're sort of detached and unreal, but Thunder really had me caring for Frostpaw and devastated when I realized the book was over. Im genuinely so excited for the next book, which is a welcome surprise from just going "oh. guess that book came out today" when I realized it was November 7th earlier this year
I agree! When I read Thunder I was so happy with all the things they were doing to listen to us! It was really great and I’m glad they are improving
I'll truly believe Warrior Cats is listening when _certain offenders_ are sent to the Dark Forest.
Onestar?
(SPOILERS, IF YOU HAVENT REEAD THUNDER DONT READ MY COMMENT)
i just read thunder yesterday, i absolutely loved it, that journey with frostpaw and nightheart was amazing, and the plot twist with splash tail being the killer, i kind of suspected it, but it was still great, sunbeam is finally a thunderclan warrior which makes me so happy! i wish the books would stop leaving me on cliffhangers though! now i have to wait until like april next year for the next one. The new characters have all been written so well, i love sunbeam x night heart, i think it in my fav ships with bristle x root. anyways that’s all i have to say about the new book, overall this series is probably my favourite, atleast so far it is, i don’t know why but i found it funny how mistystar just drops dead, my friend and i got to laugh at that
Lol, "All cats gather beneath the- oops! I forgot I'm supposed to die now! Oh well, bye bye! @w@ 🤣
@@Dorpoforp XD
I did notice that the Erins were making Sparkpelt and Finchlight less how they were in the past books after I’ve seen complaints about the whole Sparkpelt and Nightheart thing, so it’s nice to know they’re paying attention
Sparkpelt definitely benefited from it, she was such a disagreeable character, and did anyone notice that she was ALWAYS against the main characters? ALWAYS. Even Alderheart, her own brother. It was obsurd. At least now she's much more bearable, and I she isn't my least favorite cat anymore :3
(That position was taken by Lionblaze moons ago!)
also the queens with like 7 to 9 kits get the blame due to them giving birth, but the toms also help father the kits. I just don't like that
I'm gonna be honest, I'm surprised a plague or something else hasn't wiped some of the older characters like Bramblestar, Squirrelflight, Brackenfur, Cloudtail, Brightheart etc. A newer generation of characters to focus on would be so much more beneficial than repeatedly falling back on fan favorites that date back all the way to arc 1. It's getting so bad to a point where everyone's related, the newer characters always fall back to the sidelines and have nothing going on personality-wise, and the clans are so populated that the writers forget who is who and who is who's _____. Its been frustrating for the longest time.
Tbh same thunderclan has the most cats rn and most of them are background characters that should be killed of have another great starvation like in goosefeathers curse
Thunderclan- 45 cats
Shadowclan-29 cats
Skyclan- 37 cats
Windclan-25
Riverclan-22
I’d love to see some big event that wipes out the majority of the Clans (and none of the survivors are related to Firestar or Tigerstar lol)
@@_kaleidosame
@@sweetwolfsteve5583 if that does happen, then that old cycle should be a thing again where the clans do become like they usually are when Firestar first entered the forest. I just think that would always be a reocurring thing to happen since old rivalries and such.
@@merafirewing6591yeah I agree I just calculated there's 158 cats all together around the lake that's including kits to
Im so glad Squirrel star survived and wasnt rejected either!
I love SunBeams character :0
I stopped reading these books a bit ago out of frustration towards the authors, but I still follow the series from time to time. If this is true, I’m very happy they’re finally taking criticism into account and I may pick up on the books again :)
Hopefully this continues.
I read thunder a few days ago and it was amazing. Frostpaw’s chapters were great. I love her interactions with the cats around her and her character development here. And all that stuff about curlfeather just. Hurt.
Honestly tho, Thunder was a real good one! I loved how Sunbeam is finally standing up for herself and becoming her own character again without Nightheart there, and how they're treating Frostpaw's trauma very seriously and how her being manipulated isn't her fault, she's the victim here and shouldn't blame herself!
Also, I'm excited to see Frostpaw go extremist change the Clans lmao we need change
I'm am so Glad that warrior's is listening to us to make reading the books better for us. Considering that the community has very valued thoughts this will only make it more satisfying to finish A book
I still have a lot of doubt on the warriors writing team changing for the better, but this is at least a step forwards.
Edit: Just remembered Squirrelflight's Hope and Spotttedleaf's heart exists. I still think we are stepping forwards, but it's more of a "3 miles back, one step forward." Situation.
I'm a bit late to getting and reading the book but it was definitely one of my favorites from the whole series.
I was so sad when Frostpaw found out Splashtail and Curlfeather were evil even though i expected it
Aslo Akira called it "Riverstars Hope" instead of "Riverstars home" like mixed it with SqurrielFlight's book
Ivypool is finally deputy !
👇 if you like Ivypool
2:18m i feel like the only downside of squilf becoming a leader is it might seem like nepotism for firestar's daughter to become a leader as well
I think otters are in River Ripple's bonus backstory? I don't think they are named as otters though, possibly because River didn't know that's what they're called
man tree is one of my favorites and i got unreasonably excited he actually plays a role
Although I am very glad that they gave Sunbeam a chance to grow on her own within her new clan, I also didn't feel like puking or smashing my head against the wall every time she and nightheart did interact in Thunder. Like I felt like they were actually forming a bond and it was pretty cute. Whereas I felt like one moment BristleFrost is like no I'm not interested in him to oh I'm so madly in love with him in 2 secs.
I believe that Otters also make a appearance in the bonus sean of Thunder Rising
Spoilers below
It made me uncomfortable that they spayed frostpaw
I'm glad berryheart got exiled but it made me mad that sparrowtail and hollowspring went with them
And cherryfall was such a stuck up brat towards Sunbeam im glad sunbeam stood up to her
I really thought that they were going to pull a nightstar with squirrelflight and not give her 9 lives especially with that lame excuse of oh the weather is stopping her from getting her life's
i love how this arc, they've introduced a problem at the start and kept going with it, and didn't just solve mid-way trough and introduced a new one, like they did with the first and also the last arc
DOTC shows River Ripple encountering otters in the river during his backstory in one of the books' prologues/prelogues
Glad Squirrelflight became Squirrelstar. I remember when Moonkitti was concerned with Thunder disappointing her,( Mainly thinking that Squirrelflight would die) but surprisingly, she lived.
It’s been awhile since there’s been a good fourth book in an arc, it’s a nice change with Thunder
I loved this book. They added a lot more personality to all perspectives, and made Sunbeam have traits other than “I love Nightheart.” Along with adding personality to all the main characters, they added quite a plot twist. With the emotional pain Frostpaw feels at the end, I feel like even then reader felt a sense of sadness. It was a great book, and I can’t wait for the next one in April. I hope Frostpaw will be believed and I hope the Erins continue to listen to their fandom’s criticisms.
I think Duskfur was aware of her daughter's plans in some ways (her discussion with Frostpaw in Sky makes me think that)
The writers listening to the fandom? Wow it's almost like it's what they should have been doing this whole time! Haha anyway my petty bitterness aside, I feel like I should point out that I like your Tree design, mainly for the way the markings on his legs look like bark.
Or I guess it's not your design since Dako does all the art. But I'm not quite sure if they just draw it and you tell them how you want it to look, or if it's just their art.
I want to you guys to go see the warriors wiki or Ivy pool’s wiki page. She’s deputy under squirrel star now! I can’t wait to see how they both do now.
I'm happy Warriors is improving, this book was amazing compared to the former in the arc. Kinda. But the Frostpaw thing angered me.
I’m so happy that ivypool is deputy and we now have squirrelstar. They both deserve it very much and we are VERY pleased :)
I really hate how they had so much build up of Rootspring as a character, but through out “A Starless Clan” he’s only ever referenced as a grieving Tom that really stands for cats having mates in other clans. If the Erin’s want to do that, they should at least incorporate more personality into it, and show growth. I know it’s hard because the main POV characters are in different clans, but that’s never stopped them before.
You are my biggest idol, I am on book 5 but you were the original person who I learnt what Warriors was, and now I am obsessed, I watched you before I started reading Warrior Cats, thank you
I am sooo happy that they are finally listening!!!
Woohoo!!! More BGA!
I think Bramblestar might be the first cat to step down as leader
rowanstar:
@@YellowTheSus I said, ‘I think’ not ‘I’m sure’
Rowanstar pinestar pinestar was the first leader and rowanstar was the second
He's the first confirmed leader to step down and become an elder, Pinestar left the Clan and Rowanstar became a warrior again. So Bramblestar is the first leader to actually retire.
First view and first comment :D
I’m having a feeling that the Erins watch your videos. ❤
Great job arranging this, Akira! ❤
no 495th view /lh
@@YellowTheSus I was first, I watched the whole video first and then commented.
i read thunder in less than 24 hours because i enjoyed it so much. i really connected with frostpaw this book when i didnt feel that way before. when she was meditating and processing trauma it really was helping me learn to heal a little from my own as well. seriously happy with the writers on this one, i couldnt stop talking about how much i enjoyed it once i was done reading.
Curl feather and berry heart give me mother gothel vibes
I'm here before this becomes famous! Love your videos Akira!
For the otters thingy at the beginning, there is one more thing that proves there are otters at the lake territories (i can’t remember what book someone help) ALSO SPOILERS FOR SOME BOOK IN ARC 3: Hollypaw was going to the gathering island to see why riverclan was settling there and not in their camp. Willowpaw/shine (can’t remember what she was at the time) agrees to show her, but to hide her scent they cover her in something disguisting. Willowpaw/shine says it’s otter dounge.
I think otters were either shown or were just mentioned in Mistystar's Omen but I might be mistaken.
I've never much liked Squirrelflight so I am whatever about her being leader - but I LOVE that Ivypool is deputy rather than Lionblaze. I actually like Lionblaze's character more than Ivypool, but I think Ivypool is a much better suited deputy.
I used to love frostpaw because she was the only character with depth in the first 3 books, now I love her because she has the MOST depth and she’s a BADASS now!
frostpaw makes me cry sm shes such an accurate representation of victims
The queen has posted I've never been this early!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY adore how Nightheart was upset about being seen as another Firestar clone, but his arc is written very much like The Prophecies Begin, Firestar's arc.
I haven't finished Thunder yet, so I won't watch this video, but I'm liking Thunder so far! It's probably my favorite book in a A Starless Clan so far, and I like it better than a lot of the books from A Vision of Shadows and A Broken Code. I'm so glad that they are finally showing friendships and sibling relationships between characters for the first time in like, forever. Plus with both Sunbeam and Nightheart in ThunderClan, we're finally seeing the ThunderClan characters getting character development for once.
I'm also listening to it as an audiobook because Spotify is doing their 15 hours of audiobooks thing with Premium now, and I didn't want to buy the book because I was losing hope in Warriors and my library doesn't have it available at the moment, but like, this book is kinda bringing me back from losing hope? Plus it's just cool to have this be my first audiobook.
Im not a massive fan of squirrelflight, but she's grown on me a bit.
They might do as they did Mistystar and keep her alive for a long time, considering SquirrelFlight is already quite old. But not only this, im hoping to kind of stray of away from Firestars kin being kin or close relatives being high representatives of Thunderclan.
(Hence Bramblestar, SquirrelStar, Lionblaze [temporarily.] Alderheart and jayfeather.)
Finally! After all the years, they listen to us. The last time I can think of off the top of my head that they listened to us is changing Hammerclaw to Tigerclaw (if there’s more lmk !) it’s nice to see that the Erin’s are making some changes, after all, they have a massive fanbase.
YOOO NEW VIDEO
YESSS
warrior cats already had otters, two otters swam after river ripple when he was on a log
hey akira i do agree these are great points you bring up also in the recording of your voice it cracks a smidge at the end if you would like to make a small edit to the video -monarchflight (my oc)
I love your videos!!!
Hey i have a question is any warrior cats books in store right now?
this is lwk controversial but im so sad about brambleclaw's retirement. i really loved him as a character. i also think squirrelstar isn't exactly a wise idea, due to being so old. i still love her and i'm very very happy for her!!! would love to one day see a little background character or something become leader instead of major favorites or protags :)) also i'm overjoyed about ivypool's deputyship, i've always wanted to see her as deputy :DD
That’s is literally the worst thing they could’ve done is make him step down and make her off all cats the leader!
@@FantasticFawnleap I love squilf a lot but I just feel she was old asfff!! Same with bramble, and I liked him as leader smhh
@@FantasticFawnleap plus she's also proven herself a highly unloyal character with how she trusts the sisters more than her clan sobbing
@@smokey-smokewhisker agreed!
I'm hoping Squirrelstar retires too not too long from now, so that she and Bramblestar can finally just kick back and relax together in the elders' den after all the BULLSHIT they had to go through to keep ThunderClan safe through all those arcs. I want to see them playing with Nightheart's and Sunbeam's kits one day without a care in the world xD
Maybe Squirrelstar suggests adding a rule to the warrior code that leaders would have to retire when reaching a certain age, after what happened with Mistystar it wouldn't be a bad idea.
i am so grateful for bright guardian akira
Might need to read my childhood books again
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SQUIRRELSTAR OMG 😭😭
Bro I haven’t read the rest of the arcs since the very beginning of The Broken Code. Is it worth it to start reading this series again?
akira this was a cool video but it spoiled a little for me can you put in spioler warnings next time for whatever series it is? ("Branblestar steps down from leader and Squrrelflight becomes leader") also ty for pointing out Tree
Haven’t seen you in years, I remember watching you when I was 9-10 years old
I THINK IM EARLY >:DDDD
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOSS❤❤
Squirrelflight has finally the attention she deserved!!
That's my girl!
(This is from an old french fan...We're so late compared to you, guys...)
What about a video theory about who will become Riverclan's new leader. Since Sky I think it will be Frostpaw and each passing book convinces me on this.
And if it's the case, we could have a Dark Forest cat (Curlfeather) that gives a life in a Leader Ceremony.
Personally I think it will be Icewing
I don't see Frostpaw staying in Riverclan after that. Honestly I think that once she find a leader she is going to leave in order to live with the meditating cats
@@taeko3508 I don't think so, Nightheart was more engaged with the Park Cats, where Frostpaw was much more focused on resolving her problems.
Also, Riverstar stating that it was not her destiny to become a Medicine cat implied she has some sort of destiny.
I'm hoping it will be Harelight, because Frostpaw grew to know him when he became her mentor... and because it would be hilarious if there were two Harestars, especially since the one we currently have is a bit of a wimp xD
Bro when I got the notification for this vid I clicked so dang fast like omg I never knew I could click so fast
if frostwhistle doesnt become canon i will freak out
POV: You’re Bramblestar
The Fandom:
If tree gets a apprentice does the apprentice be a mediator or a warrior? (Sorry if this sounds stupid I haven't read about tree
I believe that anything they might have listen to is the call of Ivypool being a leader - or at least, a deputy -. The fans have been rooting for her even before Squirrelstar became the leader.
I am so glad that is there are books where the writers listened instead of just blindly -and deafly- doing their work.
Never been so happy
I have a question. Well- I can only get river and sky- how did you get the other books?
You could get the ebook, I got it on Kobo books
