r/Eragon

I’ve been sick in bed since Wednesday which means I’m listening to the Eldest audiobook. I think about this all the time. Arya’s fight gear is called leather. Then later when they ride the magic horses and Orik says he won’t ride while wearing a pack, an elf directs them to leather packs to go on the additional horse

I was recently made aware of the show Flash Gordon and the bore worms scene by the viral TS Madison clip. Coincidently this went viral at the same time as my Inheritance reread so I could put the two together.

Do you think this clip of Bore Worms inspired Paolini when writing the Burrow Grubs scene of Nasuada’s torture. There so many similarities in just the name of the creature to the setting itself of a woman chained to a slab and being tortured for information. I don’t think this could just be a coincidence. Do you? Paolini must have been inspired by this scene when inventing burrow grubs.

Did you like how Paolini portrayed him in the fourth book from a story and character perspective? I personally thought it was a bit lacking since he really just comes across as a big movie monster rather than a character the same way that Saphira and Glaedr did. I think he should have gotten at least some dialouge.

This has probably been discussed somewhere in this subreddit, so apologies for rehashing.

I was disappointed that there was no romantic relationship between Eragon and Arya.

During the books it was told that the elves went into decline when the dragons died off.

However, I always thought that Eragon & Arya should have been the new beginning.

The books tiptoe around the “possibility” of a relationship, but it never really occurs.

In my personal opinion, I honestly thought that if at the end of the initial quadrilogy Arya had conceived Eragon’s child it would have brought everything full circle.

What does everyone else think?

Arya deserves a hero arc of her own. I think it’s only fair that she gets the chance to actually showcase her own talents. We all know she’s impressive but still. Would have been nice to see her go off on an adventure with Firnen and actually take Bachel (or any other villain) down on her own. Goes without saying her arc should include Eragon and Saphira also…but…I feel so bad we got robbed off her scenes.

Now, this just came to me, and it is in the middle of the night as of writing this, so please don't expect me to write something elaborate and stuff.

So, we know there's a few doctor who references in the books anyways.

And like, I was thinking about Angela.

Someone who travels around to the most interesting events possible, possesses knowledge they don't elaborate on, carries some interesting equipment, incredibly old does that sound familiar?

Angela is basically the doctor.

Or well unless I missed stuff that would contradict this parallel but itd be cool if not...

Anywho thanks for your time

Pledged a while ago, figure the exact name I chose. Can't find the name listed in Kickstarter or in my email.
