Dungeon Crawler Carl Drops Early!🤯 Discworld Officially A Classic🏛️ Eragon, Abercrombie ~FN~

[@aaronharvey5625]

Daniel: "For some reason whenever I talk about movies on here I lose subscribers" Also Daniel: "I didn't like Godzilla Minus One, it was fine at best, and I'd rather watch Pinocchio does a slasher" (I haven't seen Godzilla Minus One, I don't have any real interest in it, and I love dumb horror like the pooh blood and Honey movies so I agree with you, it was just really funny)

[@kredonystus7768]

Godzilla Minus One is really weird. It has a very odd scene pacing where the emotions go from 0 to 11 and back to 0 so damn fast and almost every scene. If you aren't a frequent consumer of anime it's really jarring. It ruins the film to me and makes it feel like a kids show, and when you combine that with the actual content it's really jarring.

[@coldsun1187]

I'm with him on GMO. I actually liked the Kong and Godzilla movie that came out nearly at the same time here in the US a lot more.

[@lordshavron]

I love that you used the music The Book Guy made last week in this video! Also thank you for bringing The Book Guy to my attention. I've been enjoying going through his videos!

[@arabellawillow]

Isn't it great? The book guy is way to rad 🤙🏼

[@conortully7693]

Was that the guitar cover at the end? I’m in the comments to find out about that. Super sick.

[@lordshavron]

@conortully7693 Yeah, if you watch last week's Fantasy news there was a guest host, and he played that.

[@dromo37]

Yes me too 😊 he seems to really cool

[@krishbohra5536]

Night Watch being a Penguin Modern Classic is such an awesome piece of news. I've been thinking about this ever since I found out about it. Imagine, a much wider audience will be reading the brilliance that is Night Watch!

[@tylertopalian1625]

Night Watch is my favorite of the Discworld novels. I will definitely look into getting this copy.

[@eliashigham8901]

Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably-Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg!

[@TLBainter]

Yeah I was really excited to see that as well. Not personally the one I'd have picked, but ANY Discworld getting this treatment is outstanding.

[@Kohanman]

great book, battle of cable street is a real bit of London's political history where british trade unionists, jews, anarchists, communists and socialists kicked the fascist scum out of town, just like we had to recently do again during the race riots of 2024

[@nightlightoasis]

Great episode! Has anyone mentioned the blurred title screen that seems misplaced at 11:36 yet?

[@KatjeKat86]

Yep I did. I also noticed another editing glitch. It happened sometimes, as long as it's not important what information/image is distorted or cut short I don't mind. Daniel's human and still probably dealing with moving and everything involved with that. I'm just grateful to have my fantasy news every Tuesday.

I like Nightwatch, but I think he addressed larger issues with Small Gods and Interesting Times. Imagine Night Watch got the nod because of the Les Miz tie-ins.

[@levis1956]

I love Night Watch! Something about the blend of hope and satire is just perfect

[@tnegras99]

Bummed but not suprised that "This Inevitable Ruin" audiobook wasn't moved up. Been binging the series in Daniel's recommendation and OMG not only is the series that damn good, but the Audiobook production is literally the best audiobook production in all of audiobooks. Soundbooth theatre knocks it out of the park!

[@MrDreadhead97]

the 25th of may would be the perfect release date for the penguin modern classic version of night watch, because it's a date, thats heavily featured in the novel.

[@sparksdog8111]

Edit: The Goblin King has replied and my assumption was most definitely incorrect and now the Fantasy News guy knows I talked smack...I'm reminded of a famous monkey's quote: "how embarrassing." Something tells me that Daniel has no knowledge of Godzilla Minus One's pitifully small $15 million budget, because it would actually be insane to downplay the immense quality of its visuals and CGI while having knowledge of the production team's very, very limited resources. I simply can't imagine it any other way.

[@gman7774]

Doesn’t make it any more or less enjoyable that it has a small budget.

[@DanielGreeneReviews]

Oh I'm aware. tiny budget does make it impressive for sure! But to then turn around and say it's STUNNING is too much. It's impressive, but they are very flawed.

[@sparksdog8111]

@@DanielGreeneReviews Fair enough, to each their own, and I definitely stand corrected with my assumption. Low-key almost dropped my phone and went "oh no, not a reply from the person I made a blunt assumption of just now, oh god..." upon seeing a reply from the Goblin King.

Yay fantasy news!!! Just wanted to say i found your channel a couple years ago for your Berk read along but have stayed for your other great content. You actually got me back into reading novels. I literally binged both sun eater and DCC. Thank you Daniel. Ps. Any chance we'll get those Berk deep dive videos?

Once we get another sizable Berk drop, I'll do them ASAP! Just waiting for enough material to justify one.

Personally to me, Pratchett's greatest novel isn't a Discworld novel. Nation really hits some pretty darn good notes and I feel it gets left by the wayside a lot.

[@awizardintraining]

For me, Night Watch is my fav Discworld book. Also, I just started book 3 of Carl. Donut is probably going to be my favorite character of the year

[@mikescriven7887]

Most people say book 3 is their least favourite, I'm 14 chapters into book 7 and *no spoilers* but FUUUUU ...

[@GeraltOfArabia]

My god bro my wish is to have the same kinda sorta marketing like dangerous crawler Carl had nowadays. Freaking audible are still killing it. Damn.

[@Honorablediscord2]

Will this mean us doughnut holes will finely be recognized?!?!?!?

[@fretstain]

aww, yea Going Postal is great. but I guess I can see why Nightwatch is a different opening to his world. It makes me so sad that new readers probably aren't aware of or reading his books.

[@SusanYeske701]

We own all the Discworld novels. And our kids are definitely familiar with them. Pratchett is one of the Greats.

[@fretstain]

@SusanYeske701 that's great to hear!

[@abecordell]

NightWatch? Hmm. Don’t think you can go wrong with a book from the CityWatch branch of DiscWorld. Good call on Going Postal - I love Moist!!

[@EpicBlakMan33]

Personally, I actually like the motion picture segment of Fantasy News. I read, but when I can't or want to experience something with someone at the exact same moment, I turn to movies and TV shows and even games whether analog or digital to share experiences. I wouldn't have picked up Invincible and so many more shows that my friends and I have shared watching experiences with and bond over. I think to save both I personally would actually add it at the end but with style you have already set and come to expect, I understand why you would throw out the motion picture segment over books. So good on you. I just hope that either I can access this part of the patron for free or that you will find a way to have your cake and eat it too in the future. Much love Daniel. Peace✌️

[@KatjeKat86]

I agree, I need someone else to scour the internet for this kind of information so I can save my brain. Even if Daniel isn't interested in something or didn't like it if it sounds interesting to me I will still check it out. At the very end of this show makes a lot of sense so people can check out if they aren't interested.

[@crimsonraen]

[@Ballpython50001]

I will give Ubisoft this, They have correctly assessed that the only people interested in NFT's are people with lots of money and no brains, so 65k for one makes a lot of sense.

[@Jackolantirn]

I really liked Godzilla: Minus One. I thought it was a faithful adaptation of the original where Godzilla servers as an analog for the destructive capabilities of nuclear weapons. I think the original is better, but I appreciated Minus One none-the-less. Contrast with the Western adaptation where Godzilla has been turned into this "good guy," and... I specifically recall in Godzilla vs King Kong (spoilers) where the United States military actually detonates a nuclear weapon on a dying Godzilla so that it could recover, the message I take from it is "nuclear weapons are good, actually." Also, the writing to the Western Godzilla adaptations are weak af, I think. The writing is basic, and all those movies serve are essentially "watching these really cool special effects." ... Maybe I just liked Minus One because I didn't see it as utter superficial trash like I see the Western adaptations.

[@TrentRyanKatzenberger]

How did you feel about Shin Godzilla? I watched Shin shortly before Minus one and really loved them both, for very different reasons.

[@Jackolantirn]

@@TrentRyanKatzenberger I've heard *really* good things about Shin Godzilla. Embarassingly, I haven't watched that one yet, but when I do, I imagine I'll place it in the top 2 Godzilla movies.

[@coryhartley6135]

Hi Daniel!

[@totallysick88able]

Got my pre order for DCC book 7 for kindle! So excited!

[@Stephen-Fox]

...My issue with the Pinnocchio Slasher isn't that they're making a horror adaptation of a children's story (for a change), it's that it's Another Bloody Pinnocchio Adaptation. We just had three screen adaptations come (Disney Live Action,; a Russian adaptation; and the one people actually like in Guillermo del Toro's Netflix adaptation along at once at the same time as a video game (Lies of P). It feels like not only is Pinocchio over-adapted but that the adaptations are accelerating.

[@BladeWinters]

I am also of the opinion that Godzilla minus one is fine, not perfect. Its just that most Godzilla movies have been so lackluster that minus one seems much better by comparison. Also basically done at 1/10th the cost which just adds the notoriety of the movie.

Nation. There is no contention. Terry himself said its his finest. And he DID NOT lie. Is it his most popular book? No. But that in itself appeals to my unfashionably hipster side. (Close runner up to the Hogfather, a book I explained in depth to multiple people in my life)

As someone who prides themselves on being an indie publisher it’s amazing you would dislike an indie movie based on a popular franchise. It was one man that did the whole thing. It’s not supposed to look and feel like the crappy Godzilla movies we get here in the states. I love coming here for book news but man sometimes I’m so confused where you stand when it comes to independent creators. Maybe after I read Neon Ghosts I should critique and compare it to all the other traditional books in the genre forgetting that you wrote your book with certain context and restraints. Just going to compare it to every Brandon Sanderson book out there

Have you had a look at the book "Just Stab Me Now" by Jill Bearup? She's a youtuber whose skits got so popular that she was encouraged to turn them into a book, which she did, and it went nuts! Her story is a medieval romance where the main character is aware she's in a story and talks to the author, trying to discourage her from putting her through more craziness. She rarely succeeds.

[@wagnus1923]

The Pinocchio movie is going to be set in the same universe as pooh blood and honey, as well as a bambi AND peter pan horror entry

[@rio425ee]

Id like to make a formatting suggestion for cover reveals since you are open to changing the format up: Reveal all the covers up front, (maybe with a reusable graphic to make it easier and more evergreen) and add timestamps beneath each and talk about them in order in a more contained segment right before the indie author spotlight, so people can see them all, but skip the only the ones they are interested in. And putting them near the end gives you something consistent and solid to end on every time. And for someone like me who is on a very short break and has to skip around it would simplify my skipping ahead by putting them in a consistent section, that I know everything behind the cover reveal chapter is a cover reveal and not a news story or update which I appreciate quite a bit as a viewer

[@tokendreamer]
