"You have Sean Bean deciding to die again". Classic explanation of Tolkien lore. Love it
Tolkien wrote the role for Sean I’m sure
@@the_fools_tale He definately would have supported the Beowolf casting
Thanks for providing us all a safe space to let off steam and rant a bit, much appreciated 🤣 Highly agree with all of these!
04:09 But Sauron's motives are known, and they are pretty straightforward, even human, just evil in the way humans can be quite evil. He's just a supernatural being of great power, age, and wisdom. He wants to rule everyone and everything, which has devolved into seeing the world entirely in that vein. Hence his gigantic blind spot which is central to the whole plot.
04:30 YES! But..is that sense of mysterious terror so central it must never be sacrificed? I would argue 'no.' But also, what we learn might well be as fascinating or at least as interesting as the mystery. Can be, anyway.
If you enjoy well written antagonists, you're in for an absolute treat when you get to Liveship Traders.
I’m looking forward to Liveships!
one my favorites Antagonist in Fantasy is Glaurung in the Children of Hurin a land Dragon. And the father Smaug, what like about Glaurung he dangerous. And when he speaks in clamed tone, that don't mess with me.
I really like Lanfear from the Wheel of Time. It's such an interesting character!
Great video! I've been really enjoying your writing advice videos. Almost done reading Harbinger of Justice!
Thank you! They’re a ton of fun to make
when they are build up to be big threat and are deafeated to easily so mistborn
as much as i hated it i also loved. the first sword of shannara did the "villian gets defeated too easily" in a unique way. this whole book, the Warlock Lord is built up as this harrowing force of evil and decay. but in the end the power of the sword reveals the most facinating thing. Brona is a restless spirit who did not want to die, the truth revealed to him shows him, he did die and that hes an empty husk of who he once was
It's not really a too easy scenario. The protagonist's whole struggle is becoming the person who could defeat the Warlock Lord. It's never a matter of overpowering the villain, bacause I'd argue that the antagonist is as much the corrupting nature of misusing magic as it is any actual character.
This is why I made the antagonist in the book I'm writing a natural disaster. All the smaller antagonists are just people reacting to the problems it created
Charles Dickens villains are viscerally sickening. Bill Sykes is one, or Uriah Heap or that knitting woman in A Tale of Two Cities.
😂🦄🐱🐶🐴😳
Favorite antagonist 🤔
Other than the cogs in the big corporate overlord types it would have to be Nicodemus in Joe Ledger
and oddly
Nicodemus in Harry Dresden 🤔
also
Davina in The Black Dagger Brotherhood.
Oooo interesting to hear Dresden brought up!
The best villains I have ever read are in robin hobbs work.
'The Lord of the Rings' box you have in your bookshelf, what is that?
That is a steelbook set of the movies
Your really angry at Robin Hobb, arent you 😅😅❤
Yes. She is the antagonist to fantasy as a whole
@@the_fools_tale But you are going to love The Liveship Traders! Amazing antagonists! Only people are hurt (a lot) in theese books!
