Take your time. WCI is huge. And I expect a Sanji apology.

Take your time Goblin San. We love the amazing skits you do

Hi daniel

Take your time and congrats for your book release

Take your time with One Piece, but I would be lying if I wasn't expecting something One Piece related like a 2min bit on the absurdism in One Piece

This annoys me the most

In my opinion an author is amazing if he can build complex worlds while keeping it easy to understand/read.

… Brandon Sanderson anyone

Frank G you literally played into one of these examples by saying “he”

My sister loves magic realism, but is utterly uninterested in fantasy, whilst I love fantasy so much that I write it. She said she'll at least read my books, even if they are fantasy. I can see a similar arc forming for her - if I don't screw things up and make her run away from the genre for good! xD

@@cinthiagoch aww that's so great. Hope you successfully turn her into a fantasy fan.

He has a very short time memory...

@@cinthiagoch I am probably showing some ignorance here (while being a literary student no less!) but isn't magical realism just a very watered-down subgenre of fantasy?

@@itcamefromthecoldnorthseek6085 I think it is, and you have a much better background than mine to say that. But my sister is a little bit of a literary snob, so she says they're completely different things. She isn't annoying about it though (just a little bit silly, ya know), so I think one day I'll convince her that magical realism is actual fantasy.

About to start a series of Terry Goodkind, what's the stitch?

Well, nobody tell Achilles and Patroclus that.

I love how fittingly psychopathic he looked when delivering that first line XD

​@@josuedominguez770 people dont like him because he puts a lot of his beliefs into his books and they don't agree with those beliefs so they're mad (I don't know much about him and haven't read him yet but it's the gist of it)

​@cernunnos8344 This isn't just about "darn commies". There's a dedicated video about him on this channel.

Send help.

I am not convinced my sister isn't a dragon. Oh, wait that's just my entire family...

That killed me xD

I came here to say this. I did not see that coming. Hilarious. And accurate.

@@chivasowle286 He kind of sneaks it in there and it catches you. I love it.

Hey, I've never heard of Terry Goodkind or read their novels, why does liking them make one the worst kind of fan?

@@Larsnir Go search this channel, I think Daniel made a video about it.

@@Larsnir Long story short. Daniel finds Terry Goodkind pretentious because even though he wrote fantasy, he denies that his stories are fantasy and implies that his stories are above the genre.

This!

While I do agree, nothing makes me drop a book harder than when there is an obvious agenda in it. Especially a fantasy book.

Every book has an agenda. You don't like it when the agendas don't line up with your worldview, and that's ok.

@@krave983 disagree, not every book has a hamfisted agenda. Some books are just written for entertainment and not trying to convert anyone.

@@ponli7532 This ^ I read fantasy to escape real-life politics. I don't want to be reading a book and then at the end there's a website link to church of the latter day saints at the end.

To be fair, that probably applies to a lot of Wheel of Time characters.

I wonder how much they'd mess their trousers if they ran into a woman dragon.

@@SmilingJack65 you just won the internet for me today!

@Anne Day Alright, so I am taking this from the fan of the books that at this point is kore of a TTRPG fan If Rand isn't the Dragon Reborn, why even include him?

@Anne Day Right, you don't include a character without a purpose that is central the the main set of plot threads. I do think that the Heron-Mark Sword is a failure on the part of the creators od this show.

Yuuuup lol

He’s come a long way.

@@DanielGreeneReviews character growth

I haven't seen early Daniel stuff. He use to think mamga couldn't be fantasy? Manga is a story telling medium it can be any genre.

@@LLorax0 That's why it's on this list

My favourite Brother's Grimm are the ones like The Girl With No Hands. Grimdark should really be Grimmdark. And there's the classic murder ballads like Twa Sisters/Minnorie/The Bonny Swan.

@@YAUUN I think my Favorite's gotta be this one where this boy was abused by his father so much, he decides to commit suicide by drinking poison. But it turns out the poison was Hungarian wine, he gets drunk and dances at a wedding, and then he dies from too much alcohol.

People tend to treat "fairy tale" like a negative trait because people associate fairy tales as a childish form of literature, not helped by Disney doing their best to softball them and make fairy tales even more the domain of children. It's this viewpoint that I imagine is the impetus for a lot of the "old fairy tale but make it super dark and full of murder, sex, and violence" modern fantasy.

@@Mokiefraggle yeah it's the same with cartoons which are now also becoming increasingly violent and mature in theme. I know so many people who won't watch anything animated because they think it's only for children and miss out on so many amazing stories because of it.

@@WileeCoyote1516 Honestly, I feel like modern animation (well...western animation, at least. Less so Japanese anime) is actually getting steadily more softball and toothless. You wouldn't see stuff like _Gargoyles,_ or _Batman: the Animated Series_ getting the green light nowadays, as opposed to the 90s. You'd never hear the line "Pay a man enough, and he'll walk barefoot into Hell," in a modern cartoon, for instance, nor have the sheer amount of implied death, violence, horrific human experimentation, etc. that was present just in those two shows. Is modern western animation more friendly and accessible for neuroatypicals, LGBTQ folk, and people of all walks of life? Sure. But it's also a lot more bright and happy than a lot of 90s stuff, and a lot less grim.

man that wall must be maaaaaaaaarked...

Yeah, that started to get worse than the fans after a bit.

Among my top 10 fantasy books, only one is written by a woman - JK Rowling

Every time some dudebro complains women can't write fantasy, I expect in some afterlife Mary Shelley is rolling her eyes so hard the other spirits think she's possessing someone.

@@DStrormer There's far less women in the highest echelon of fantasy compared to men.

@@TomFranklinX Oh, JK Rowling? You mean an author who had to initialise their first name because trad publishing wouldn't publish a fantasy book with a woman's name on the cover. You know, an example the exact gender biases you're pretending don't exist! Why aren't more women writing fantasy? Because male dominated traditional publishing has, until recently, worked very hard to push them out of that sphere.

@@DStrormer And who, as to my point above, was pressured to pretend it wasn't her who wrote it. Because she was a woman.

Donkey from Shrek

@@lanipolonium lol

Damn what the hell what sort of definition is that 😂

I'm kind of interested in what kind of definition he had, I mean unless you specifically include the words "Written by a man", how do you exclude all female authors from the definition?

How on earth can you define fantasy so that Ursula K Le Guin, Katherine Kerr, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Elizabeth Moon, Diana Wynn Jones etc aren't inclued? Not to mention all the modern ones.

So he never heard about R.F. Kuang, Suzanne Collins, Fonda Lee? 🤣 Also, you can tell him that if he doesn't like female authors he shouldn't come to the Nordic countries since we have many! And they are great!

I can't imagine someone so openly sexist being in a teaching position. Yikes.

I actually had this exact conversation (argument) with a friend a while back. After shooting down all his objections to the extended editions he settled on "They're just too long". And no, he hadn't read the books (unsurprisingly). Face meet palm.

When it comes to LotR the director's cuts for Fellowshiop and Return are certainly better, but I can see an argument being made for the theatrical Two Towers given it leaves out a lot of the slower bits and extended treebeard sequences... but I haven't watched the theatrical cuts since they were in theaters and have see the DCs dozens of times, so I have no idea if that's actually true or not.

@@robbybevard8034 Yeah, there's still a lot of good stuff that leaves out too.

@@fredwardandthebear3192 Yeah, for example, nothing in the extended edition of Fellowship addresses how dirty that movie does Merry and Pippin.

I think the theatrical editions are better. Fight me.

These are my Top 3 as well

These are all the same person.

All the more funny since Freddie was bisexual, not gay.

Goodkind needed more demonic chickens and less psychopathic sadist main characters

@@davidmernick7360 exactly what I thought when he said it lmaoo

When we all know that the proper casting is Chris Pratt in drag for Syl.

cast Kaladin with a white male? that's sexist and misogynism, women need more representation Kaladin must be cast with a POC female!!!!!!

@@mgntstr well, Kaladin is a POC, so I don't know what you are getting at...

@@jwinget1999 a tan or brown eyes does not qualify whitey to the POC community.

@@mgntstr It's not a white man with a tan skin, it's an asian with a tan skin. Brandon has himself said that there are almost no white characters in SA.

Me too 😂

I was looking for this, I'd be surprised if there isn't a handle-shaped print on that wall :P

Same

@@dornishraven1628 so no adaptation? or it reeks of WOTonPrime?

I mean you could argue that warrior women were the exception that confirmed the rule, but even then, like Daniel said, there are literal dragons wandering around and your biggest gripe is gender equality being unrealistic?

yeah, I think its good , and its something I try to do in general, not rain on someone else's parade. If the setting is approiatte let them be excited for whatever it is, even if it is say Twilight or 50 shades.

And they complain about there hobbis isn't populaire will skaring people away

I'm not a fantasy snob. One Piece isnt my cup of tea and I want Daniel to make whatever content he wishes to do... I just wish that One Piece wasnt one of them.

@@theodororeus3950 So you want him to make whatever content he wishes but not really

@@JJMB27 there is a subtle difference in wishing he’d make other content and wishing that he felt like making other content. But essentially yes.

As have I. As have I.

@@DanielGreeneReviews You can't say we are an unlimited source of inspiration, huh?

That’s the one that really made me laugh 😂

that last part! men (and sometimes even women) are so quick to accept completely fictional things but have a hard life-or-death stance on women being raped, murdered, abused and discriminated against no matter the setting because 'that's just how the world works'.

I mean, depending on context, that could also be the line of a progressive male character

@@WyllCKP Talking about women as if they are an entire other species is not the hallmark of progressive thought.

@@jencendiary ...what? No one talked about women as if they were another species. Are you an extremely literal who doesn't understand metaphor or simile? I don't see where you are coming from. I just thought it would be silly if in a scene some stoic male hero stood saying he wasn't afraid of dragons (and presumably certain death), yet women made him nervous. Why? Maybe he knew a lot of female warriors or something. Or he was very inspired and has great respect for the Aiel. I don't know, none of this is real, and it was all a joke.

That's ok, you probably have other opinions about stuff that are good.

HERESY!!!

@@ADHDlanguages No worries, you probably have some intelligence in there somewhere! :)

Congrats on starting! I started writing my trilogy two years ago yesterday. Life’s been hectic so I’m only halfway through the second (and haven’t got round to editing the first yet) but I can honestly say there’s nothing more satisfying than watching your crazy ideas come together into something (vaguely) coherent

@@anwenm good luck to both of you.

The Harry Potter example is less a case of people hyper harping on that one moment, and more that it's easy to point to as an exemplar of all the things being done wrong. It's like Batnipples aren't actually what made Batman and Robin bad, and nuking the fridge didn't make Indy 4 bad, and the characters wearing their kimonos backwards in Avatar indicating they were dead because the costume designer didn't know anything about the culture... Those little details aren't singlehandedly ruining somemthing but they are emblamatic of a lack of attention or care or really crazy ideas... and its easier to say the one thing than recite a long list.

@@robbybevard8034 I agree but once you've heard the exact same criticism for the 1000th time, you just roll your eyes over it. They are simply overused memes that stopped being funny ages ago and are just annoying now.

I love HP but the memes in the fandom are just...eeeeehhh...not funny. Especially the Voldemort nose joke. It's so worn out.

Tbf "*something entirely unhinged*,' Dumbledore said calmly" never fails to crack me up.

More often then not they say “Lord of the Rings is too long….when’s the next season of Game of Thrones?”

Exept it does not make sense that there is black hoppits

ya happy people don't exist everyone has to be miserable that's real

The same way that goes for that people that dont want to see man in position of power anymore in fantasy because its a "opressive patriarchal society"

@@aesir1ases64 I agree with you

@@aesir1ases64 Plenty of dudes are in power in stories still, they just share the stage a bit more these days.

Yeaaaaaa………..no

Yeah, but a piece of media shouldn’t punish you for thinking about it...

@@squarecross7383 I don't think it's a punishment, there's just not much to it. But that applies to a lot of fantasy stories. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I find it hard to disagree with you, It was far from perfect and it did look low budget....but I still enjoyed it
