“Stand.
This is the true test of a man; he who will stand when others grow complacent.”
How buck wild must it be to be Firefight?
He’s just an epic with fire powers who keeps getting pulled into an alternate hellworld where his double’s a girl, his good friend’s son is alive but consistently in mortal peril, and the common people cower beneath him as if he were a god. Like, he’s just trying to be the Human Torch, not some horror-esque version of Doctor Strange.
Knighthawk is honestly such a mood sometimes
The Reckoners Ending [Book Series]
If the title doesn't make it clear that it's a spoiler, I don't know how to help ya.
I don't think I ever managed to get this out because like no one I know reads the Reckoners and stuff but so- I don't like the ending. I'm gonna be honest here though, it's been awhile since I read it by now and details have slipped by mind and honestly for the life of me I can't remember anyone's names besides I think the girl being Megan and the protag having a boring name which means you also don't see it often.
OKAY, so. I hate the ending. I don't know about you but I didn't really understand it that well and.. what? Okay maybe I just misunderstood the story and I just- okay did he just fuckin.. go to Calamity or whatever and plan to explode this guy who's basically a fucking god who made people Epics and then.. i dont know what else happened. i think the doc- limelight(??) was there too? I DONT KNOW-
but so then something something, and then protag has fucking steelheart's powers?? WHAT- IM SO CONFUSED
honestly it seemed so underwhelming and extremely confusing, and honestly I just kinda wish that instead of that, we go back to book two and take what could've happened. I don't know about you but I really wanted him to have epic powers and Calamity literally gave it to him but because he was facing his own fear it canceled out that and never gave him powers because that was the thing that got the darkness that came from epic powers to lessen so that people weren't such little shits who destroyed everything and became dictator tyrants
THERE WAS POTENTIAL. i understand it was for story but BUT YOU BUILT IT UP TO THAT MOMENT AND THEN NOTHING- wHAT
i want him to have those powers but they could be weakened since they wouldn't have as much of a grasp on him since the fear thing ? BUT WHY WOULD YOu scRAP THAT IdEA- YOU BUILT EVERYTHING PERFECTLY FOR IT and then you didnt. WHAT WAS THE POINT- to prove the efficiency of the fuckin method they figured out??? THATS JUST LIKE UNNECESSARY INFO NOW :(
AAGGHH. and then he STILL got powers. oh and there was that thing about his dad at the end but to be honest i cant really remember it but it just.. honestly the end felt a little unfinished to me or something. i dont know, maybe i read it wrong somehow or missed something but it just doesnt look right
the story was great it had something going for it but it just kinda.. didn't work out as it could've lived up to
correct me if i was wrong on any of this btw reckoner readers. maybe even give it a read yourself if you haven't and are reading this despite spoilers, because i mean you could then tell me if there was anything i misunderstood or something yknow?
