You don't think Sam develops considerably over the course of the books? What the hell do you even mean by "character development"?

Prydain Chronicles is about Taran. He goes from youth to adolescent to adult It is literally all about his character development.

So? Why does a greater emphasis on it make it better than LOTR? The question should be how well it serves the story and themes of the work, not how much space it occupies. You didn't make a case with this post, you just made a vaguely contrarian statement.

You could open a random book at the airport and it'd have a better character development than LOTRO.

Ok.

And Hyperion has better space battles.

Point?

Character development is for faggots, to be quite honest
He stayed a fat fuck for how many years while in a freezing near-starvation environment? Fucking zero development but we all know that because he's a self-insert.

Taran grows up with each book. His attitude towards adversity changes from book 1, where he is barely able to take care of a pig to book 4 where he successful ly crafts his own sword.

That is the exact definition of character development. He goes from irrelevant and irresponsible to being one of the most important characters in the series. That is the definition of character development.

OK. So? Why is that good? Why is it better than the lord of the rings? Make a fucking point

I mean...just compare the two stories? I can't do that for you. Hence reading.

Why did you make this post if you're not going to support your assertion with literally any argument?

nigga what

My argument is that Taran actually develops whereas LOTR is about grandiose actions and heroic characters in a static template. Prydain has changing goals and...development. LOTR doesn't.

So now you come up with something to say. That's how it works.

No, that's not how it works. You still haven't made an argument. You stated what you view as a fact. You didn't say whether that was good or bad, or give any reasons why. You didn't say whether the lord of the rings should be different. You didn't offer examples from the story supporting your ideas. Anything I said right now would just be arguing against what I assume you're thinking, not what you're actually thinking, because you haven't actually said what you're thinking.

Did you go to college? Have you ever written a paper, or engaged in a meaningful conversation? I don't think this is the right board for you.

>Character development is for faggots
