Brisingr (Eragon 3) Spoiler

Ooh! He should read some romance novels! I don't care if he hurts THAT genre's reputation! Just, dear lord, no more butchered fantasy stories.

I don't have five - but I once read an article about the language Paolini "created." It's actually some form of older language from around northern Europe, Denmark or Norway. (I think it was Norway.) The writer of the article was citing the "to shield/ actual shield" phenomenon in the Inheritance series.

Seriously: in most other languages, the noun of something does not match the verb that uses it. In English, what verb do we use with a match? We don't call it "to match"; we call it "to light."

The entire fake-language thing is annoying, knowing he stole it.

I loved the Eragon books!!! (Although the movie definitly didn't live up to the books). I think he probably meets a God because he's, like the most legendary of all dragon riders, or he made a mistake and the God had to come and fix him. Or mayb(gasp) the God delivers more dragons!!! Although I doubt it 'cause they've already have three of them suckers flying around. I hope that Murtagh like, turns good or something. By the way, I think it's cool how he used another language. It's an exctinct language anyway. Besides, you try making up your own language. (Thanks for corecting me, Mesh.)

I can't wait for this to come out!

Then I can burn it!

I don't understand why you are all against him. Name 5 specific things that he plagiarized and from what book/movie.

Here we go again, notice any similarities:

A young handsome farm boy named Luke who doesn't know who is parents are lives with his uncle and while talking to a strange man of the village named Obi-Wan his uncle is murdered by soldiers serving the empire, formed by a Jedi traitor with his apprentice, and burns. Kenobi gives him a lightsabre and teaches him the ways of the force. While on their way to a rebel base they come across a hologram telling them to rescue a princess. They turn off course and fly to save her, but it is a trick and Obi-Wan dies but the princess survives. They reach the rebel base and there is a battle which he wins by flying a ship.

And...

A young handsome farm boy named Eragon who doesn't know who is parents are lives with his uncle and while talking to a strange man of the village named Brom his uncle is murdered by soldiers serving the empire, formed by a Dragonrider traitor with his apprentice, and burns. Brom gives him a sword and teaches him the ways of magic. While on their way to a rebel base Eragon has a dream telling them to rescue a princess. They turn off course and fly to save her, but it is a trick and Brom dies but the princess survives. They reach the rebel base and there is a battle which he wins by flying a dragon.

Happy?

But it goes on...

Paolini got the idea of Dragonriders from the Dragonrider Chronicles. He took the idea of high elves, elves, dwarves, elves who are good with bows, dwarves who are good with axes from Tolkien.

It goes on, but I'm tired.

Hmmm... which story idea do you think he should write next you guys?

A man named 'the nurse' will find a RED phone box and use to to fly through space and time. It will be called the 'PaoliniARDIS' and he will have boy companions who end up saving the day.

Aha.. ahaha AHAHAHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHA!

It's official, Paolini has gone mad. Just watch this, and if it doesn't make you burst out into laughter then...

But if you can't wait:

[spoiler]One of the characters... gets pregnant.[/spoiler]

:*snort*:

I want to know what's so shocking about [spoiler]someone becoming pregnant. It's probably the most natural thing in the world... (Unless it's the man-pregnant thing that was jumping around the US news, which is not only shocking, but very scary.) But did you see the way he was slightly freaked out about saying it? XD Like it was some freaky, taboo topic or something? Psssh.[/spoiler]

Seriously, I hope it's Islanzadee and Hrothgar or something equally disturbing (Galbatorix/Arya?). Eragon!Crack-Pairing. I think I could get into that.

EDIT: [spoiler]Unless...scary thought...Saphira...which might rub off, somehow, onto Eragon...m-preg! Oh dear God, the fangirls...![/spoiler]

[spoiler]How much are you willing to bet that whoever it is is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, who will have to split up to ensure their safety? It's like Star Wars in reverse![/spoiler]

I will eat Paolini's babies if he ever has children.

Luckily, it's an empty threat; nobody would ever sleep with Christopher Paolini.

...Wow...

That's just... wow...

I mean, I knew they were similar, but I didn't quite realize how similar until that comparison, thanks. XD

I'm rooting for Galbatorix and the Ra'zac, personally.

The figure was tall, handsome, and devilishly sexy. His face was finely chiseled, manly and his eyes were crepuscular pools of magma that shone like long-suffering stars. Cascades of divine and choral music fell like a waterfall in Hawaii around him, and fog drifted in vertiginous spirals, shifting through all hues of the rainbow.
Eragon was bowled over by the image of perfection before him and knelt in instinctual reverence.

"Who are you, o great one?" asked Eragon, his voice strained as the light and sounds of angelic trumpets reached a staggering crescendo.

"I'm Christopher Paolini, your creator."

I love it.

Well, people have already ranted in as much length and detail as I could, so I won't go on and on about how much I dislike the Inheritance series.

Paolini's books are almost like Coldplay--it's vogue to dislike them. The only difference is that Coldplay's critics dislike them on matters of taste--Paolini has broken several Fiction Laws in Eragon and Eldest.

As for the movie... *shudders* it's just the coup de grâce. I actually feel sorry for Paolini, who now has to live with that piece of junk on his back.

Then, the [spoiler]pregnant thing... The day C.P. writes a sex scene is the day his books become original. Seriously. It'd be hilarious, but impossible.[/spoiler]

Lmao, I can just imagine this.

Cpt. Smurf - Like, wow! I actually bet that could happen. Do you think they will be called Leika and Lua?

Aet Lindling - That's a year of Paolini hate

Do you think they will be called Leika and Lua?

Oh, but that would be unoriginal. What about Elladan and Elrohir?

Lol

I can't wait for Brisingr to come out! I've never gotten to see what it looks like when a truck full of hardback books explodes!

Wait...somebody [spoiler]GETS pregnant, implying that they aren't already pregnant, implying that two characters have to go through a sex scene, whether it's talked through or not, and we all know that the two have to be major characters! Which then implies that he will completely butcher the whole talk through,[/spoiler] and will overall fail misserably and will never get published again.

He doesn't HAVE to go through a sex scene. Personally I hope he doesn't. He could just switch POVs just before it happens and have a line of stars instead. Like the waterfall and violin music and unfurling flowers.
