    I am tempted to dye some of my alt and pepper hair a crazy colour with arctic fox dye just for funsies...we will see if I do it.


    Black hat w beads. Black cloak. Less permanent, more likely to be extensively instagrammed.

    I think a sequel is on the cards for sure, but we will have to wait and see. It's like the most popular movie on Netflix right now by a long shot, and it dropped to #2 briefly in week 2 so Kpop Stans got back on and rewatched it to shove it back into #1.


    HA!

    Watched it again. 4th time. I don't know what it is, but it's probably that as a KPop fan I'm in on all the subtle Kpop jokes, and as a K-Drama fan I'm in on those easter eggs too (Juni grabbing Rumi's hand as she tries to walk away, and they look longingly at each other in silence? 100% K-Drama), I'm just so entertained by it.


    My kpop/kdrama knowledge is limited but i'm familiar enough to catch some of it. Their entire scene at the wall, music number included, was utterly channeling kdramas. I laughed so hard. I thought some of the other stuff like the spa and their PR assistant and Mira's back-story were in the same vein.

    Taking daughter to se BLACKPINK in a few weeks, and she's ordered a Rumi costume to wear at the show. Amazing.

    I was surprised to see that while there are lines in Korean in every song, there are no entirely Korean versions.

    Next up, Kirkman n co.'s FIREPOWER.


    maybe i just may have kind of marathon'd the first four tpbs by accident and HOLYNINJAFUCKSTARS this is SO GOOD.


    Glad you like it. I read the first trade or two, thought it was just OK and never returned to it.


    The start, the prologue first trade, is ok... it's very basic... good art, good enough story but nothing novel. When the setting and cast shifts in the second (vol 1) and the real story begins, if you're engaged by the cast - and i ack it's a certain appeal that won't work for everybody esp readers wanting more of WALKING DEAD's 'desperate found family' or INVINCIBLE's massively dysfunctional fam w extra teen angst and also broken bones jutting out of limbs - then the situations they find themselves in completely yank me right in. It's a family friendly kung fu fantasy story and it's so... nice... even when all hell is breaking loose.

    The feel is very similar to 7 SECRETS per my upthread posts, but w more grownup notes, somewhat less teen wish fulfillment.

    Also, the 'big' action scenes are balls out wild.


    Quick semi-reread of TPB 4, the a glorious fun read of 5 and 6, thus Firepower is now Just Finished.
    Great fun comics, brings the widescreen massive action and all the right emotional beats. This was not a complex or sophisticated story but it was a very good, very heartfelt one. I enjoyed.

    Unbound Worlds now redirects to the PRH website, so that Top 100 fantasy link no longer works. Here's a very similar one though: https://reedsy.com/discovery/blog/best-fantasy-series

    Because some mobile browsers don't resize and it makes the thread unreadable.

    Just out of curiosity, why is it necessary to spoiler big pics on this forum? They go off the page and don't cause the text to unwrap, and they get resized in mobile browsers. I don't mind doing it; just asking.

    There is a word to describe that pic, I just found one in the depths of my convulsing brain. It's DISTURBING but in a funny way.

    If you're keeping score, I think my conversation (in a WoT thread, I think) with that one noob-troll about how to get banned from Malazan is worth a few. (i.e. "I recommend telling Malaclypse he's a douchebag.")

    When the new order rises, lazy posters will be among the first to be purged.

    Good call with the spoilers tags. I didn't want to add them because it makes it extra work to read posts :D
