Scenes that you'd like to see....

Post by **Dawngreeter** » Fri May 04, 2007 2:58 pm

You ever read a part desribing a scene or event that you think you're just not quite getting? I recently read the the part when TC & the High Lord Elena got to Melenkurion Skyweir & would have loved to actually see the range and entrance to the cave, 'cause I'm not quite 100 % sure how it looked. Others -

Kevin's Watch
The Grieve
The location of armies when Troy was looking from atop Kevin's Watch

That's not quite the same, though. This topic, if I'm reading it correctly, is about things you would have liked to see described more fully.

Ahhh.

Well then, nevermind.

Still want to see that scene though.

That thread is not the same.

More than described more fully, more like "a picture says a thousand words" thing. Like describing the Grieve, to just see it you could get a instant understanding of it's composure rather than getting lost in words. Same deal with the Melenkurion Skyweir & the Illearth warring armies. Scenes where it would help to have a picture.

Revelstone in all it's glory.

The dance of the Wraiths of Andelain in LFB. Although I have an amazing image of that in my mind, and love the way it's described...it would be interesting to see how another fan interprets that scene. (Include with that the fall of that Unfettered One).

The siege of revelstone by SatansFist (?), and Lord Mhoram's victory

the spawning of Vain

Nom.

Could never figure out what he looked like. The image I always had in my head was like a bullette (or however it is spelled) from the first D&D Monster Manual. I couldn't find the picture, probably because I'm spelling it wrong, but this is the closest I could find.

But every time I read it, I realize the description is nothing like that. I've never been able to see it though. That's another reason why I want a movie made.

I've always imagined Sandgorgons to look like this (minus the jetpack!).
And I always will even though I know the descriptions don't match.
Horrible pic but the best I could find:

I agree, the dance of the wraiths was a beautiful part of the book, it would be good to see other fan's interpretations onscreen.
I also found melekurion skyweir hard to get my head around.

Hmmmmm...... I used to think the seige of revelstone but that would probably end up like minas tirith me thinks. So many i would like to see, but I’ll narrow it down to a few.

Lord Mhoram laying a beat-down on satansfist
Covenant tearing into ridjeck thome and lord foul whilst being watched by the old lords
The Grim (still very confusing to me)
The caamora
Kevins watch (with covenant stuck on top even though he’s afraid of heights) tee-hee

Well you could just ask me to tell you what it looked like.

Post by **iQuestor** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 5:38 pm

but your dead! and to tell us would break the arch of time.

Okay, Drew, I just threw up major big time. I put that as a "dude, that's messed up" moment in another forum just last week. Gross. Dreadful. Nauseating. Sickening. I hope you were kidding!!!!!!!! If not, you've been hitting the diamondraught way too much.......

Now that I have that off my chest, what's great about SRD's TC books is that you HAVE to visualize in your own mind what he's describing. So everyone's ideas of what things look like will be totally different. I can't visualize very well, and since it seems that movie discussions are a dead deal now, maybe someone very talented artistically could get with SRD and do drawings akin to the cover art that show these scenes as the author himself pictured them while writing it. I would pay for a portfolio with those drawings, absolutely no question. What a prize! Anyone else want to see that????

Jwaneeta could do it, she definately has the talent.
