[@fitz394]

Spoiler and Spoiler are my favorite 2 people

[@mascot4950]

I recently clicked on a Sanderson video. I either missed it or there were no spoiler warnings, and I didn't really know what it was about. Out of nowhere, from my perspective, he drops "and you get to attend the wedding of x and y". My brain goes "wait... are those the names of two characters both mentioned in the first dozen pages or so of this huge series I just started reading? Oh well, I guess those two are meeting at some point, then."

[@nadie9058]

@@mascot4950 On the bright side, it's pretty obvious from the beginning of the second book, so this spoiler only affected the first. And it's very minor, nothing about their relationship is really ruined. That being said, it's a learning moment for you to have care when consuming content of the authors of the books you are currently reading, especially if it's meant for fans.

[@elizabethaman4381]

spoiler x spoiler is my favorite ship

[@mascot4950]

@@nadie9058 I do, Sanderson is normally really good about flagging spoilers to the point of not even revealing book titles without warnings. I'm not in the fandom so "announcing " doesn't mean anything to me without watching it. I might have missed it, but there was no obvious signal that I had reason to worry about spoilers in this particular case. I should perhaps have added that the spoiler wasn't a big deal for me, I'm typically entirely disinterested in romance/marriage in a book. Worst case it might diffuse some tension at some point between where I am now and the wedding, because I know they'll both evidently survive until the wedding. On the other hand, I've already forgotten to the point that I'm not sure I'm remembering the right people anymore, although out of all the characters I know of so far, it seems somewhat obvious.

[@AuthorJacksonDickert]

I am so sorry Daniel, but I am crying laughing at the tragic backstory behind your ren fair trauma 7:22 "HO THERE YOUNG ORPHAN" 😂

[@KarlKarsnark]

Interesting how the poster for "Rebel Moon" looks nothing like anyone, or anything in the actual movie itself and is vastly superior as a result. That's like the wrapper tasting better than the candy bar. A truly "Modern"(tm) approach to film making.

[@Tamaki742]

I mean, technically it's supposed to be the princess, but yeah. It's much more superior than anything in the movies themselves.

[@Ximira_Xelo]

About the Rebel Moon poster: I find it quite funny that the movie(s?) is a space opera and the poster looks like it came straight out of Game of Thrones

[@FlyingFocs]

Which is odd, because a space opera with a purely medieval aesthetic would be baller. I’m actually trying to write a series like that (instead of spaceships, they travel to other worlds with portals).

[@Ximira_Xelo]

@@FlyingFocs so Stargate, but instead of scientists and soldiers you have wizards and knights?

[@FlyingFocs]

@@Ximira_Xelo Kind of, but instead of a stargate, it's a type of crystal that serves as a conduit. The source of magic is Stardust gathered from meteorites. It's a work in progress, so I might use a different source (they have meteorite swords though, because that just makes too much since).

[@CruelDwarf]

Rebel Moon 2 is a one of the first mainstream attempt to adapt DLC model for movie releases.

[@OmriDaxia]

Dear god, you're right. Please, for all our sakes, delete this comment and hope no one with a say in Hollywood has already seen it.

[@BoringAngler]

I don't know if this or the notion that Snyder's films are a cinematic pyramid scheme is more apt

[@almogdov]

I remember when people were outraged that they split one movie into two (kill bill, harry potter). Today somehow they allowed Snyder to release basically the same movie twice! And it's a bad movie to begin with! Who is funding this? All that money could have gone to a Mistborn adaptation !

[@tedarcher9120]

Laundering purposes

[@ninjainherjammies156]

I totally feel ya on getting uncomfortable about people who stick to their role no matter what. Being lost somewhere and not getting straight awnsers would make me so frustraded and scared.

[@Kwigs_kun]

For anyone thinking Daniel is being too harsh on Snyder, go watch his appearance on Joe Rogan talking about why his Snyder Cuts are supposedly so great. He is every bit as dumb and shallow as Rebel Moon would suggest

[@GeeOff]

Hearing that tidbit about how badly Daniel handles character actors staying in character really makes me want to see him having to navigate a medieval fair or something like the Star Wars hotel.

“Rebel moon has to be the worst movie that I’ve seen in the past 5 years.” Makes me wonder what he saw in year 6 that beat it. Was there a live adaptation of The Cursed Child that I’m not aware of?

[@xtieburn]

'He has the artistic vision of a 16 year old who huffs glue' - Is anyone whos seen Sucker Punch particularly surprised by this? I mean, its a bit of a guilty pleasure is Sucker Punch, but it is absolutely the kind of film a 16 year old glue huffer would make; A basic summation of almost all of Snyders films to date: The vaguest attempt of a nod to profundity, buried under a lot of attractive people in awesome CG fight set pieces, usually involving an excessive amount of ramped slow motion.

[@Huebz]

Sucker Punch is arguably one of his most blatant examples of how the theatrical cut can completely ruin a decent movie.

[@FlyingFocs]

I rewatched 300 recently, and while not bad, I absolutely understood why it was every guys favorite movie back in middle school.

[@paperboy1116]

Oh god. Ella Purnell is a gem please keep her away from Snyder

[@mariuslackenbucher6696]

I also appreciate the design of the witcher comic. I totally agree with you - it is different and feels weird but I think taking a different approach and not just trying to copy something else is great and it's very important to give different interpretations a chance. And these new interpretations can be very inspiring for other artists. I like it.

[@rowanwax]

I agree!!! Although it's an older interpretation! Originally published in 1993, finally being translated to English. How exciting 🤩

[@mariuslackenbucher6696]

@@rowanwax Yes of course haha - I only now realized my comment sounds like I think this is completely new and therefore intentionally different than the games or the shows. Of course I know it existed before the games so these influences didn't exist. Though I didn't know of it's existence up until this video and I'm looking forward to checking it out. It's still great to see this version being translated and released now. The more variation the better

A Director's cut from Rebel Moon is a brand new definition of the word "Redundancy"...Oh Zack!!! Please never change

[@whathitwonder4037]

You're in for a treat. The Red Sonja movie is a certified hood classic.

[@snorpenbass4196]

The Red Sonja thing is... tricky. The original character was named Red Sonya - with a 'y' - and wasn't in the world of Conan. Instead she was a mercenary in late medieval Europe. Created by RE Howard, she was one of his few female main characters. However, the Red Sonja character was based on L Sprague de Camp's rewrite of the character to fit a Conan story, and as such is kind of sort of not created by Marvel - but also definitely is. Like I said, it's... tricky.

[@otaku-sempai2197]

Created by Roy Thomas & Barry Windsor-Smith, based on a character created by Robert E. Howard. I have not been able to confirm the connection to L. Sprague de Camp (or Lin Carter?).

[@GingerBeardedGeek]

I have to agree about talking to people in character like that. I can't do it either. I feel like I'm being miserable but I can't play along with it and I feel really uncomfortable 🙈

[@fulcrum6760]

About the Rebel Moon stuff, it looks like the podcast and director’s cuts were made before things blew up in Snyder’s face. After this, he’s done for.

[@stonelane1827]

I was hyped for the 1st Rebel Moon. I watched it, it took 3 attempts cause I honestly kept falling asleep during it. I haven't watched the 2nd and have no intention to ever. What really annoyed me was they promoted this as something never before seen, something new and ground breaking and all he gave us was the shittiest version of The Seven Samurai and I've seen most of the versions out there.

[@OmriDaxia]

He went in to the studio with drawings like "Let's do seven samurai with these people in space" And they were like "Oh, that's a good idea. Who are they?" "No idea... But they look cool right?"

[@FlyingFocs]

Which is sad, because "Seven Samurai IN SPACE" sounds like it would take effort to mess up (or combine it with Magnificent Seven and make it a Space Western). But part 2 especially might be the first film I've seen in a long time where I thought "wow... people AREN'T being too men in their reviews."

[@Paul_McSeol]

What kind of a world do we live in where Halo gets cancelled and Rebel Moon continues like the Juggernaut charging down a hallway? Halo had problems (some severe) but it was getting there in its own slow roundabout way….

[@mathsalot8099]

I'm not sure it will continue after this. The Director's Cut is already filmed and paid for, so mind as well put it out for the Snyder-boys to huff their cope-ium. He supposedly has 2 more two-part movies planned to get a "six-part trilogy," but I doubt he will get to do that.

[@GamingDad63]

It's not that Netflix is better, it's that the others aren't

[@alexg4624]

Gail Simone writing a prose novel feels like a big thing! She's been one of the most influencial female writers in comics for the past decades. Her work has been huge for diversity representation before it really becomes a thing big comic publisher would push and it has always been naturally integrated into character development. I'll keep a look on that Sonja book...

I hope you eventually read all of Hainish Cycle. It takes Left Hand and The Dispossessed to a whole new level. I’m doing a full Le Guin read-through currently and am constantly blown away by the depth and breadth of her style

[@michaelvcelentano]

Additionally, if you were to read a Le Guin standalone, please read Lavinia. You won’t regret it!

[@dannykreutzfeldt]

Gotta say the fantasy news host not knowing about the Red Sonja movie surprised me. Maybe there's potential here for some entertaining content about 80s sword & sorcery movies in general.

[@mascot4950]

I had to check my Netflix account. It's offering to resume Rebel Moon at 30 minutes, so that was when I bailed out on it. I would say I dodged a bullet, but that's still 30 minutes I'll never get back.

[@orochifuror7148]

Depends if you want to learn from it. I think Rebel Moon so far is a great example of a potential decent story that is just ruined in every scene by the writing and directing. It's far more blatant and in your face with it's failures that you can learn a lot about what not to do in the creative process, and failure can be a great teacher.

[@akamal92]

​@orochifuror7148 just watched a KZbin compilation of all the cinema sins it commits instead of consuming such slop

[@justinwatson16]

Agree that original art is a superior choice to adaptation covers in almost all cases, including this Witcher collection.

[@Tuaron]

I don't exactly trust Netflix's "we'll never bundle with other streaming services" - I believe them that they don't currently plan to do so (believing they still dominate the space enough), but I won't dismiss the likelihood of it happening, given their love of money and how often they're getting burned by their original content (whether because it's bad or because they cancel it before it has enough time to thrive, enraging fans). After all, they used to advertise they'd never have ads and now...

[@SparkAce1]

I’m really enjoying that the Fantasy News videos are longer recently.

[@LeMasterofSwords]

When will studios learn to stop making a bunch of extra bullshit for something that might not even be good? Just let a thing exist and then if it’s good do more

[@skream4jesus]

Lol I almost spit out my coffee at big booba 😂

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

I love that the Red Sonja movie is based on a Marvel character, created for the Conan comics, co-stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as "not Conan." For those interested, Gail Simone has largely written Batman spin-off comics, Deadpool, and Marvel's Domino. She will also be the first woman to write Uncanny X-Men solo*, beginning in August. (*Kelly Thompson was the first as co-writer on the Uncanny X-Men 2018 series). People online have been joking about movies having "walled off" DLC for years. Zack Snyder apparently didn't get that it was a joke. I'm surprised Netflix didn't charge $9.99 for the additional content. I personally feel Snyder is an amazing visualist. He's crap at character direction or coherent story, however.

I appreciate you saying "the wedding of Spoiler and Spoiler", because although it wasn't a spoiler for me, I was upset for people who have not yet read Stormlight Archive. I think authors need to be more careful with spoiling their own books.

[@isaacanderson4856]

I personally can’t think of a different way to announce the event? If you are a hardcore Sanderson fan you would need a reason to go and pay for an event like this, and if you haven’t read this far… I’m not sure how to tiptoe around then. I’m not asking you come up with one. But at a certain point a media juggernaut reaches a certain cultural relevance where in order to maintain fan engagement, I feel certain sacrifices happen e.g. Game of thrones red wedding. Star Wars- Luke I am your father. Harry Potter. Snape kills Dumbledore.

[@thebooklion]

@isaacanderson4856 That's a great explanation, thank you! I have not considered maintaining fan engagement.

[@mascot4950]

@@isaacanderson4856 I just click most Sanderson videos because.. You know, I think I just like to hear the guy talk. I didn't really connect what the event was about and completely missed any indicator that there was a reason to worry about spoilers. I should add that as spoilers go, this one was pretty inconsequential in my case. It doesn't seem like a plot point that I'll care in the least about, although I suppose it might turn out to ruin some suspense between where I am in the series and when the event actually occurs (or the characters even meet, in my case). Given that my brain is of the sort that will not remember a tv series cliffhanger through a single sleep, that might not even turn out to be an issue. I've now learned to be more discerning with my clicks, next time I might not be as lucky. :)

[@thebooklion]

@mascot4950 It's definitely not a major spoiler and I do believe Sanderson would never spoil an important plot point or twist.

There was a series of six Red Sonja novels published between 1981 and 1983, all written by the duo of David C. Smith and Richard L. Tierney. Until now I was only aware of three of them--they were not very good. The best thing they had going for them were their covers by Boris Vallejo.

[@retronaut8864]

Red Sonjia was fleshed out as we know her in that Marvel comic, but she did in fact originate in a Robert E. Howard story. However, it was not a Conan story, nor was it even fantasy. It was a historical fiction story published in the 1930's and set in the Ottoman empire. As for that film, people often assume Arnold is playing Conan, and that you're looking at Red Sonja and Conan on the cover, but he's actually just playing... **checks notes** ... some dude. Sandahl Bergman is in it too, but she also has a new role as some queen character. It was Marvel who really saw Sonja as a character to depict as a barbarian and started lumping her in with Conan, and I think the movie tried to do the same thing without licensing Conan himself. Hers is a strange and confusing history. You should google the posters Robert Rodriguez had made for his shelved Red Sonjia flick featuring a certain Rose McGowan completely devoid of muscles, resting atop a hill of skulls and licking a sword absolutely **drenched** with blood lol.
