This seems natural. I mean Batman and Superman are half brothers right? I mean they have the same mother.  Martha is just not that common a name.

My understanding is Henry Carvill left the Witcher because he was a Witcher fan.

This is actually a well written summary. No shade or snark thrown and provisos included. Good job Sam.

That’s agism and deadism. He can still play the part with more emotion than half the actors in Hollywood.

This is most likely. He does go into hiding but in the east I believe. He could just walk back to the West but maybe coming in a great fireball is more dramatic?

Yeah, the old bait and switch. You are promising your audience one thing and then delivering something else.  That will ensure they don’t trust you next time around.  The MCU has been doing this for a while now and I don’t think it is doing itself any favours.

Sauron came to middle earth in the first age. When he returned from Numenor in the second age he did not have a physical body. It took him centuries to re-establish a physical presence.

So never?  I am up with that.

They made "Gods of Eygpt" so there is that.

It is true.  Nobody went and saw Wonder Woman or Captain Marvel because of all the rampant misogyny among the nerd class.  Just as racism tanked Black Panther.

“The whole idea of manned space travel isn’t really that hard.”

Starkiller appeared to be able to kill planets light years away. If you want to be picky about physics in a space wizard movie. That is where you should focus your anger.

Very big apparently. The image of the endless rows of ships looks like it was a copy of a scene from WW2 propaganda.  Can't remember the source...The Wall maybe?

Space wizards, swords, etc.

Pretry sure Luke went system to system in a Tye fighter so it had a hyper drive.  They were working on the fleet for the decades since the fall of the empire or before.  Maybe the planet is like the Canada of space with endless resources.  Given it is a story of space wizards who fight lasers with swords you might not…

The later books spend much more time with the women than the men, perhaps because there are so many women (the whole White Tower politic stuff, the various queens, the six women you list, the Ail women) and only a few guys.

Lots of trolloc dicing for the first while. Very little human to human stuff. More like Dragonball when the main characters powers up - some power-sword stuff but mostly lightning bolts. Little or no sex at all for the first half dozen books and very little after that as everyone is separated fighting their own…

Sanderson does a spectacular job killing off dead-end threads, sidelining irrelevant and redundant characters and quickening the pace right from the go. Until he takes over, so much chaff, so little wheat.

Pretty sure they run into Thom later.
