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

[@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

[@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.

[@murlend8455]

Tuesdays are one of my days off, always waiting for the fantasy news to flow

[@gazi1470]

"this is my most anticipated read of next year" did you forget we are getting TWO new fonda lee novels

[@LightningRaven42]

Abercrombie, tho.

[@Rhindon777]

Finally! The Sword of Shannara is one of my all time favorites. It is an important book for the genre, because it continued the survival of the genre into the next generations.

[@gutsberserk0475]

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?

[@DanielGreeneReviews]

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

[@gutsberserk0475]

Ah Got ya. Does that mean for the magic system / character deep dives as well?

[@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.

[@ungainlytitan1460]

65K for an NFT in a game, I could get a second-hand Jaguar for less, hell it appears I could buy a new Jaguar for less. Though not in Ireland....

[@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.

[@logangoodner9559]

That high of sales for a book 7 is incredible.

[@noahmcclellan4372]

So excited for DCC but have to wait for Audiobook.

[@TLBainter]

14:00 I have been saying for years that we need to take the word "quietly" away from "journalists". EVERYTHING is done "quietly". "Congress QUIETLY resurrects Mitch McConnell in public ceremony on the Capitol lawn" "Ryan Reynolds QUIETLY has bromance with Hugh Jackman in advertisement on national TV" "I QUIETLY fart into a jar and play the recorded audio in everyone's headphones at the silent disco"

[@efrenenverde]

I've never been so happy that I follow a youtuber, I wasn't aware DCC's next book was ALREADY AVAILABLE I was waiting for an announcement date!!!

[@crimsonraen]

"SHOW ME DRAGON TITS!" hahaha Oh man. Thanks for the news, Daniel!

[@crimsonraen]

Okay, wait, wait, wait.. What the actual FUCK is with that bs Ubisoft game!?!?!? -_- Holy shit, burn it DOWN!

[@yafes_han]

As Matt Dinniman patreon supporter, I must say, dcc 7 is the best in the series for me

[@Hylirica]

Yay for Carl and Donut! I've been buying the new editions after reading the first one at my library, and OH MAN I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I AM SHOUTING, CARL!

[@giggleanthropisticon7061]

Speaking of horror movies. I recommend The Substance. It's the kind of horror that makes you deeply uncomfortable and disturbed. To the level of The Girl Next Door, but for different reasons

[@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.

[@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!

[@lupolinar]

You don't need to make fun of Ubisoft - they do that to themselfes and think they are winning! Also, that outro music was great!!

[@jonathanfan3709]

ddc audiobook is going to sell like crazy

[@Highfi7]

Wizard Goblin HERE!!

[@arabellawillow]

"Was your guess 60k???" I guessed $80 ...

[@ThatDevilBear]

the chapter titles are especially great today! 'the devil's art' and 'game of thrones silent film' are my favourites!

[@cvampaul]

I'm excited for the House of the Dead movie.

[@BritReadsBritAuthors]

Just me or did the 'Squid Games S2' announcement seem...abruptly cut off?

[@Saturdad]

I agree. Curious...

[@carlosroo5460]

As it well deserve it.

[@GeeOff]

It's not a truly accurate representation of Saphira if I can't hop on her back and have her render my car irrelevant. What I spend on the dragon, I better be saving on gasoline.

[@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.

[@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.

[@TheDiabeticGameMaster]

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

[@Jackolantirn]

@@TheDiabeticGameMaster 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.

[@Nasser851000]

The 1 view be Princess Donut 😆

[@not-a-raccoon]

I couldn't wait for the new Dungeon Crawler Carl!!

[@bendutoit5371]

I'm currently 9 books in on Terry Brooks' Shannara series

[@mahuloq7562]

I am so excited for DCC. I have not read any of it yet, just Audiobook. I dont know if I can wait for the next audiobook though.

[@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.

[@wurzyking]

Fresh Fantasy News !!!!

[@wheelsofmercury]

The Saphira statue looks like something I’d be interested in! Just wish it wasn’t delivering in two years’ time… And I am excited for the new Godzilla movie. Been kind of getting into the franchise in recent months.

[@dfw-k6z]

The Citadel of Bureaucracy sounds amazing. Exactly the absurdist vibes I need right now . I wish it was available on Kindle.

[@kieran-wiesenberg]

Daniel, I like your cardigan in this video.

[@dustincompton992]

Huh, I thought Ubisoft’s greed would’ve capped off at $100. BOY WAS I WRONG! Hate that company so much, and not just for this crap.

[@moshebaum7612]

Look at the add ons for the dragon kickstarter lots of cool signed books

[@procurement3681]

$250 was my guess. So close!

[@azlanadil3646]

This is the most important thing to happen today.

[@Naimad319]

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

[@wafflingmean4477]

That Saphira model looks AMAZING. In my opinion something with the eyes is just so... off about Saphira on the original Eragon cover (I love the covers of the sequels). So having another representation of Saphira, especially one with so much input from Paolini, is a dream come true.

[@arabellawillow]

I've been wanting to read the Shannara series for so long ... I'm excited to hear your thoughts 🤙🏼 Also, I think I would ascend into 5D if the Broken Binding did a Terry Pratchett reprint 🎉

[@nihilasta2661]

It's weirdly good timing to use that family guy clip in this cos that audio has been *all* over my tiktok recently😂

[@breadnacom9897]

i've been wondering - does the content of the news reflect in how hype the intro is?

[@SHiR-0_TV]

i appreciate the family guy reference definitely accurate to this rare opinion of yours

[@commonviewer2488]

When Ubisoft dissolves, someone else will salvage Rayman

Hi Daniel!

[@Elijah_Gillard]

I'm really greatful you cut out the fake vomit, I'm feeling really sick and I really appreciate you not doing that

[@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

[@totallysick88able]

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

[@josiahsterling7308]

That was the best fruedian slip in the indie pub promo 😂

[@GarrettSeney]

Mark Lawrence almost exclusively writes trilogies doesn't he? Maybe a novella here and there.

[@matildesaraiva5288]

A few days ago I finally started listening to dungeon crawled Carl! I got about 60% in before I had to stop, and due to life I haven't been able to continue, but omg what's this and why did I lose my shit over the AI having a foot fetish and therefore giving Carl a toe ring 🤣

[@stijndeboer3798]

A week without Fantasy News is a week without Fantasy News

[@cvampaul]

OK

[@squigglybusiness7131]

So true! I can't believe people aren't saying this all the time

[@KingofCrimsonKings]

Truly devastating.

I so look forward to it every week, along with Wind and Truth chapters

Jason Kingsley, CBE, and CEO of Rebellion Developments game studio, which owns a publishing company and 2000AD, including Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper. I do hope describing him as a KZbinr was just a bit of an inside joke ;)

Anyone craving dark Pinnochio, play Lies of P. Incredibly fun game with beautiful music and visuals.

[@0culimortis]

Wasn't us expecting a fantasy hot takes in the midst of the fantasy news....and GODDAMN was that a take

[@TheRichardJae]

I'm glad you included the family guy bit because I am aghast about your Godzilla minus 1 opinion. It might not have been for you, but it was definitely for me, I'm looking forward to watching minus color.

[@rohannborah9025]

[@Bazscoobz]

[@MonsterKidRadio]

Curious as to whether you saw Godzilla -1 in a theater, or at home...

[@svenningen]

You should get it and collobarote with some minipainters or comission some to get it professionaly painted!

[@Tarnuris]

Which 'Ex Machina' 8:58 ? There's a few

[@songsayswhat]

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.

[@RoyLol1987]

Thank you for that Godzilla bit. I was also very disappointed by it after all the hype. Glad I was not alone 😅

[@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

[@TheYoungPanda]

[@jackjennings1707]

I am SO GASSED for this LOST epidosde a la fringe that you're doing, Daniel. I think while theres some legitimate plot/narrative criticism to be had with it that ultmately it was a beautiful story and its ending was largely misunderstood/wrongfully hated. Cant wait to hear your thoughts on all this!

[@mndrew1]

I'm not mad at the Ubisoft scam; it clearly isn't targeted at working class players and separating people with more money than brains from their ill-gotten cash is less than completely horrible.

[@jackquinn6444]

Yay. First! Love you Daniel!

[@Road_to_redbull]

Should have put Goodkind on your middle finger 😂 0:42

[@Pharren88]

Love your sweater, where'd you get it?

[@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.

[@evanflynn4680]

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.

[@LongShaynx]

Scrolling my main page and I see this video. I press play, as I log in to Audible and spend my saved credit for a pre-order that won't come to me for another 3 months. I'm sure the rest of the video is important, but I haven't really heard a word you've said

[@Chyrnobyl66]

Night Watch is definitely his best book

[@Witty_Jackson]

Wanting a bust of the dragon's boobies, rather than her head, is one of the most wild things I've heard you say 😂 I had to go back and make sure I heard you correctly haha

[@Victoria-fs9jo]

Honestly? This is a good use of NFTs

[@efrenenverde]

Price guess for the NFT bs: 5000$

[@ThatOtherOakDaniel]

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)

[@ricolang7224]

the godzilla minus one slander wow

[@NaritaZaraki]

22:24 --> Okay, my first thought was 1,000 ... but accounting for the audacity to still be doing this shit in 2024, I'm gonna bump that up to 5,000. Edit: Ah. It appears my audacity-meter is broken. Also, thank you for editing out the fake vomiting. I've been really nauseas all morning and I don't think I would've survived that. Thanks ^_^

[@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.
