          Hold the frick up, that reminds me.
          Wasn’t Eragon’s mother an assassin called Morzan’s hand or something like that? One trained in magic enough to keep her loyalty and effectiveness, that was seduced by Brom and eventually redeemed?
          Did he manage to stealthily rip off Mara Jade too?

              Not really. He copied lotr and star wars, then had his parents help him with writing, then had his rich parents publish the book. He had good family connections, not talent.

              He has written some books since eragon and they're all shit.

      Most normalgays don't associate dragons with SW. Eragon has more associated brand recognition (it was a #1 NYT Bestseller) and the millennials that grew up reading it will give it the nostalgiabait factor.

        Heh, I think it's fine. Haven't read them in a while but the Star Wars parallels are mostly just names. The first book is pretty classic hero's journey.

        I don't remember the rules of the setting too well but wasn't it just "You say something in a magic language and it'll happen, so you must perfectly understand the grammar or you'll frick things up". Pretty simple but decent system.

        • 2 years ago

          It goes well beyond merely being a take on the hero's journey. The first book is a beat by beat remake of the plot of ANH.

            I guess Obi-Wan would be Brom but Obi-Wan wasn't Luke's father
            In SW they don't actually spend that much time travelling but most of the first book in Eragon is spent walking from one end of the country to the other.
            The Darth Vader figure is unrelated to the MC and dies at the end of the book
            The big battle at the end is about defending a fortress not destroying an enemy base
            No one really betrays Luke in SW like the emo guy betrayed Eragon

            Yeah there's similarities but SW is one of most well-known application of the Hero's journey so honestly I don't find it surprising to see similarities

            The names however are definitely coming from SW

              Murtagh is Eragon's half brother. And he fulfills the Vader role as well even doing the "I am your brother" reveal at the end of the second book.
              Anyway, the books do begin to diverge slightly after the first one (which is straight up ANH), but there still are major similarities that go beyond the Hero's Journey.

                Too many to list. It's not subtle.
                But right at the start, you have a princess who works for the rebellion trying to get an important item that will help defeat the evil empire to a hidden magic warrior who is one of the last of his now nearly extinct order. She's then waylaid during her journey and captured but not before she manages to send the item away. But it doesn't get to who she intended and instead ends up in the hands of a farmboy who lives with his uncle.
                And it just keeps continuing from there.

                Yeah, but Murtagh isn't that much of a Vader figure since he's a good guy in the first book and his servitude is unwilling. Vader was evil from start in the first movie and wasn't being forced into it by the Emperor.

                Honestly, other than the initial setup, people really overblow Eragon's similarity to Star Wars.

              Brom wasn’t his father in the first book.

              To break it down:
              A princess steals the ability to fight and defeat an evil empire. She is captured by the Emperor’s second in command but before he can recover the stolen item, it is sent away to a podunk location, where it is found by a farm boy. This farm boy takes the item to a “crazy” old man who turns out to be a wizard from a bygone era. Returning home, the farm boys uncle is killed by imperial troops who have found him. He flees with the old man, who trains him in his ancient magic. They meet a roguish character who helps them navigate to the fortress where the princess is held, all while being skeptical of the old man’s abilities. They arrive at the fortress and save the princess, but the old man is killed by the villains second in command. They follow directions from the princess to a rebellion, but the empire finds them and engages in a battle. The farmboy is struggling in the battle but puts faith in the new powers he is taught by the old man and uses his new found magic to hit a weak spot that allows the villain to be beaten when his buddy the rogue distracts him. They then all get medals.

      The guy who wrote them started when he was literally 14. Taking that into consideration they're not that bad, but they're not brilliant either, there's much better fantasy out there (that isn't Rothfuss, Sanderson, or GRRM).

      It was during that post Potter/LOTR period where they were adapting every fantasy book with any name value

      But it's 2022. There's no audience for it anymore and the last book was published more than a decade ago.

        I really don’t get why kingkiller got big. It was releasing during the time when blogs used characters like Kvothe as target practise, and he was too early to exploit his door stopper getting word of mouth from easy audible downloads.
        I can get Sanderson’s success, since he had wheel of time as a springboard, and he’s an inoffensive enough workhorse that he could get attention and keep it when someone wandered into the fantasy/sci fi section and constantly saw new releases.

        It's for nostalgia. Almost exactly the same gap as between the Star Wars OT and the PT (1977-1999 and 2002-2022). If you were prime age for Eragon (by far the best selling and best known of the series) in 2002-2005, you're in your thirties now and probably have your own kids old enough to like a magic and dragons movie. A 15 year old in 2002 is now 35 and may have a kid who's 8-12 years old. Maybe they would be better off waiting until the middle of the decade, but it's clear what they're doing.

    the only reason I watched this abortion of a movie was Sienna Guillory, and I really doubt there will be a good reason to watch the show.

    I remember being a little dumb kid going to see this movie in theaters because I loved the books. It was the first time I realized a movie can actually be bad. Good learning moment.

    so their new strategy is to adapt things that sucked so hard the first time they can't actually make it worse?

      You'll be lucky to see anything more than the odd flying scene and a slightly scaled human form

      If you mean the books I did until I read the fourth book which was kind of ass and learned that the entire egg and bonding phase including the scar was ripped wholesale out of an older and much less serious book

    Honestly Eragon's cousin was way cooler. He started with even less and ended up becoming a badass rebel leader with an axe.

    It literally couldn't be any worse than your pic.
    >b-but le Black personinos and le trannerinos!
    Ajihad or whatever was black in the movie, wasn't he? A few more makes no tangible difference to the quality of the work, especially when Eragon's (the book series) quality was already well into the fricking negatives.

      He's black in the books as well.
      And you haven't been paying much attention to the garbage D+ has been churning out if you think it can't be worse than the movie. If anyone could make it worse, D+ could.
