With how he went at Crowned Death, I want to see Discworld's Death as the head of an Internal Affairs team that travels across the Multiverse to chokeslam some sense into Grim Reapers everywhere. Starting with Final Destination's Death, and maybe swinging by Castlevania.

He just witnessed his Master performing an act that really should be impossible. Something that in any other circumstances would have the Auditors howling and risk the displeasure of AZRAEL. But just for this one night, Death is doing it anyway.

I love this adaptation, but this (and the beans story) is the most important part of the book for me, but it just doesn't capture the incandescent rage this scene was written in. The book nearly bursts into flames.

I guess I’ll have to read the books. I remember reading The Little Match Girl back in high school. I never liked that ending. Her life and her death felt so meaningless and sad and preventable. It’s sad to think that there are children who are freezing and starving that any one of us will just pass on by while we think to ourselves “glad I’m not her”. I’d like to think I wouldn’t do that. But to be honest, I’m not sure I would even notice. I sometimes wonder if the things I don’t notice, I don’t notice because if I did, then I’d be burdened with a sense of guilt for turning away. As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Do I keep myself ignorant to stop from thinking about the things I could do to help? I probably shouldn’t digress so much on a KZbin comment. Bad for my health.

I love how, in the book, Albert starts explaining why it works this way, Match Girls dying in the snow, but even he starts to doubt it when he says it out loud, realising how bleak that is. And then he throws snowballs at the angels who arrived for the Match Girl until they leave.

@Daniel-rd6st Жыл бұрын

To me thats the most iconic scene of Death. I think it even hits a bit harder in the book. In the book Death feels a pull towards the child and only when he arrives he realizes, that he was called not in his (borrowed) aspect of Hogfather, but as Death. And he was devastated because he had grown fond of bringing presents and happiness (well doing his best at least 🙂 ), he really struggled at times with his "job" as death. And then he realized that this one time he had a choice, not to take life, but to give. He bend the rules quite a bit there, because i doubt, that the Hogfather could actually mess with Deaths domain, but in this special case he could because he was both. I really need to reread my discworld novels 🙂

Death might be one of the finest characters in Discworld and that's saying a lot. He started out rather evil, getting frustrated at not being able to finally bag Rincewind. He kills flies in frustration at some point, cause Rincewind got away once more. He later changed completely to representing the "final mercy for the suffering", a philosophical outsider and observer of humanity. He shows compassion towards them in a very unique and fatalistic way. He knows that deaths are tragic, but he also knows that it's a kind of everyday tragedy, one that's just part of life itself. He's got some of the most insightful quotes in all of Discworld and I love him for that.

@Daniel-rd6st Жыл бұрын

Well Rincewind frustrated him because he was an anomaly, due to the great spell severly messing up his sandwatch so that even Death himself couldnt tell when Rincewinds time comes. You could say that that hurt his professional pride and also was quite a thorn in his side id wager, since he usually knows when the time of every lifing thing has come. But yes, he did change quite a bit, when he allowed himself to become emotionally attached to certain people.

This is second hand so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently in the book following this moment a pair of Angels showed up, who were supposed to collect the girl's soul and bring her to heaven or something (apparently this is part of the process of the Little Match Girl dying in the snow), and were rather peeved someone was getting in the way of them doing their job. The response to this was pelt them with snowballs until they left.

I love this take on the matchstick girl story. Not sure what Pratchett was getting at with his take on the Good King Wencelas song though. The only valid criteque I can think of is that it'd been better if the king had granted the farmer the right to gather wood near his house instead of having to come get it leagues from where he lives, but that's not what Pratchett talked about at all.

Death has a duty to make sure that the souls of the departed are collected. The Hogsfather on the other hand has a duty to provide to the people of the world so that the sun can rise again tomorrow. This is the rare case where the Hogsfather also just so happen to be holding onto someone's time in their hands... and there's no rule about the Hogsfather -not- giving time... 😊

Everyone is condemning the "Little Matchstick Girl" a bit too much. In it Death is her only release from a life of coldness, abuse, and poverty. Being with her grandmother was the better alternative to the real world. That's the happy story beat, the reality that the world is terrible for some people. But in this? Death is still her release, just that in a world of magic he can give her more of a future.
