He was great. Some of the stories were a bit crap, but the series hadn't worked out what it wanted to be yet. If he had stuck around (I do not hold his choice to leave against him) it would have been interesting to see where the show could have gone with him.

I agree with pretty much everything you said about the book. I love it anyway. It's short and easy without being childish, and while the mythological references are handled rather shallowly, the ones I recognize make me feel smart, and the ones I don't are intriguing enough to make me want to look them up.

Been binge watching your work and was excited to see you did this...till the review. Your video was good, dont get me wrong, but I was hoping to see you rip into how far they strayed from the book. But guess if you are not a fan of the book, I can see how you'd like the movie better. My biggest issue with the movie was how Will's family treated him. They act like he's nothing while in the book he is very well love, especially by his oldest brother and yougest sister. While I'll agree that Will learning everything from a book in a day was a little Gary Stu, it was a set up for how he was going to be potrated later in the series as the replacement for Merryweather. And I will have to respectfully disagree about Will being handed all the signs in the book. Not only did he have to find the signs, he had to solve puzzle onto how to collect them. That was what I most wanted to see adapted in the movie. Edit: I will admit the way the book series read I don't think wasn't meant for adults. I would say that this series is like Tolkien's The Hobbit.

I know this is an old review, but I felt I should share my opinion on The Seeker, as a big fan of the book. Now I realize the book isn't any fantasy epic, and comparing it to authors like Tolkien definitely won't do anything good for it. My mom read the whole series out loud to me and my siblings, so my goggles might be slightly rose colored too, but I hope you won't discredit my opinion because of this. Anyway, what I really remember from the book, and I feel is lacking from the adaptation, is the constant sense of lurking danger from the bleak wintery landscape, and the constant question of who to trust and who not to trust. The movie seemed more to me like watered down Harry Potter, which I felt was a misinterpretation of the book's style and atmosphere.

1) As the show's current editor, thanks! 2) I'd settle for derivative if it actually had a plot! If you've ever heard about the "and then" Vs "therefore" theory, you'll know what I mean when I say this film is nothing but "and then." 3) There's nothing wrong with Eccleston playing villains, especially with that sonorous baritone voice and northern accent, he just keeps choosing the lamest ones. 4) Krimson and I can't even agree on how to say "rawther" let alone "Rye-ordun" 5) I can't speak for Krimson, but I can certainly say SOMEONE does, and that said someone is quite depressed at how long they'll have to wait for season 3.

I actually liked the book better than the movie and this is after reading the book for the second time. I say this because the book was loosely based around the old tales of winter solstice; of the encroaching darkness of winter verses the light that symbolizes the coming of spring. Like the battle of the Holly King and Oak King where the Oak King is victorious against the Holly King (the Oak King represented Summer and the Holly King represented Winter). Some the elements you brought up during your review, like the movie focusing on Will dealing with being an Old One and his emotions on the subject mixed with how old he is, I kinda liked and can agree with; but what I found weird was how the Wanderer's impact on Merriman in the book was left out during your review. Was it because the Wanderer wasn't referenced in the movie? If so that is a shame because I found his character gave reason for Merriman's strict impression during the book before the Wanderer's true identity was revealed. Either than that I have to say this was the one book I was hoping to see reviewed, but leaving a little sad that it's this book that you have problems with. Overall, it's your opinion and I'm still glad you got a chance to read this book.

Later on my 17th birthday I got the complete sequence of The Dark is Rising and read all the installments. It was really interesting for me because back when I was twelve I looked up my name on a dictionary and turned out to be a Welsh name, which The Dark Is Rising Sequence uses the mythology from.

Here's a reason why Seventh Son fails as an adaptation of The Spook's Apprentice: Almost all of the characters have American accents, which is inaccurate and inappropriate because the book's setting, the County, is a fantasy version of Lancashire in northern England; with certain towns corresponding to real-life towns, for instance, Preistown is Preston, Caster is Lancaster, Black Pool is Blackpool, and Chippendon is Chipping. Also, since you touched upon Arthurian legend, would you ever consider comparing the Welsh film Y Mabinogi with the Mabinogion?

The thing is though, which Narnia adaptation would he pick? There's the 1979 animated TV special adaptation of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, there's the BBC TV miniseries from the Eighties (which is technically a lost film because the BBC lost the master of it, but technically also not a lost film because there are DVDs of it), the 80's miniseries versions of Prince Caspian, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Silver Chair, and the relatively recent big screen adaptations of TLTWaTW, PC, and TVoTDT.

michaelkeha what's so edgy about it? Because pagan holidays one is just referencing the fact that there are other religions with holidays during this time. Or if you're talking about my getting of the heroin joke one then it still doesn't make sense. Please explain.

The whole deal with him being powerful because he's the 7th son of a 7th son, reminded me of a plotline from Julie Johnston's "A Very Fine Line." If I'm not mistaken, the protagonist was the 6th daughter of a 6th daughter. But I could be wrong, it's been years since I last read that book.

In the books defense drawing from Celtic mythology as a basis isn't as easy as it is with something like Greek or Norse mythology considering for one it isn't nearly as well documented and two, most of what records we do have were written down by either Roman or Christian invaders so there isn't a Poetic Edda or Homer and Ovid to draw from. However I do share some of your complaints as someone who is currently trying to read the series herself. For me the best thing is easily the atmosphere and how magic is just so ingrained into everything, makes the settings feel ancient and otherworldly. But if you're looking for something similar but a little more story driven I would recommend the sevenwaters trilogy by Juliet Marlier. (warnings for explicit content and possible triggers)

1:56 "Unless you're an idiot who fails to grasp how subtle and complex a film Die Hard truly is! I mean to be fair, you have a very high IQ to understand the Christmas spirit..." There, now you know what it says, viewers. You're welcome. Also, Die Hard is the best Christmas movie of all time.

I remember in grade five or six I tried to read the first book and I just couldn't get into it. I don't remember anything about the content but I do remember feeling really unfulfilled reading it. It's one of the only times I've intentionally not finished a book.

Excuse me, Krimson, first off, I love your videos. You always do an amazing job pointing out themes and ideas that I would have never seen in those pieces of film/literature. Being a writer yourself, would you have any advice to give to a person (like me) who would want to get their writing out there. Thank you so much for reading this comment, keep on doing your videos, and keep on writing!

Well, the free advice I always give everyone is to start with fanfics and use those to improve their writing. Accept concrit and build off of that. As far as getting your writing out there, there are a lot of ways to publicize yourself, like starting a blog or a youtube channel. Plus, using social media.
