The Circle Of The World Podcast, Live In Person - Spoilers for all Joe Abercrombie Novels.
I am just seeing this podcast. Please allow me to join the next one.
Whirrun of Bligh is truly the best non POV character
The masses have spoken, but that’s why we prefer Bayaz’s style of ruling
Cracknut Whirrun for president!
Look at that beautiful face, we never get this
Oh my gurd, tanks
Whirrun of Bligh is the best.
Imo I don't think he is. I don't know what limit's eaters get, but I am sure that Bayaz would let someone else test them out for him as he have no intrest at all to deal with negative effects.
Actual first law content?! With theories?!?!???! Christmas came early
Agree with almost all of this list. Only slight disagreement would be the placement of Jalenhorm. I think he's at least a B tier. In The Heroes, he fights Black Dow and had the upperhand, though there is the chaos of the battle to consider and a few other factors, but he had Dow on the backfoot. If it weren't for Craw, I think Jalenhorm stood a decent to good chance of beating Dow.
Isn't he first introduced chopping raw meat outdoors in the Blade Itself?
Yes but I thought that might have been more of a foreshadowing to his ruthless nature and how he treats people in general.
Just read through it few days ago and if I am not mistaken, he is butchering pig.
It was always stated that the “bald butcher” was chopping up an animal.
I thought this was pretty much confirmed in The Hero’s. After he threatens Calder. They have a scene where he’s eating with sulfur. Can’t remember the exact scene please correct me if I’m wrong.
I have a counter theory: is there any proof of Khalul being an eater?
You guys are perfectly imperfect -just like Joe's characters! Luv you guys... keep up the amazing work!!
I don’t think bayaz is an eater because of the physical signs. Using his art always left him too weak and too tired. He shows none of the speed, strength or vitality of an eater even when his life is on the line. With a some eaters talking about it with regret there seems to be some kind curse that is in exchange for its power. But why does he need to when he had Sulfur and in the past shenkt to do his bidding. If bayaz was an eater he’d be one of the most if not the most powerful in the series he would have backhanded his way across the old empire instead of having a magical seizure and have to be cargo in a coma. Like Sulfur could catch cannon balls with his hands and the big dog himself needs to take a nap every time he burns someone nah he’s not an eater there is some catch to the whole deal he’s avoiding.
In my opinion, the scene where he eats meat in front of Calder is just to really hammer down the fact that even amongst an Eater, other Magi, warlords, leaders, kings, killers etc Bayaz will always find a way to be the biggest predator in the room. He really is an eater but in a subjective sense of consuming people not for fleeting power the way an eater would but rather a permanent power over their lives as he does with the totality of the Union. The way he eats the meat he is also subjectively eating Calder by putting him ubder his thumb. I dont think hes an eater. As previously mentionned in the comments Bayaz likes soft power unless he is pushed in a situation where he has to use "paranormal" abilities for example high art or the seed. Ive always theorized that Bayaz trained to always be able to "Heat up" the seed, it was part of his long game just a tool. Other than those extreme situations he uses soft power because he believes that with the way the world is evolving and that populations are increasing its simply not efficient to be using magic all the time.
Exactly! I think there some kind of catch to being an eater I can’t remember who but I think 1 or 2 talked about it like it was a curse. So why would he do it as the first of the magi knowing what he knows if he can have his own personal eater do eater stuff for him. I think even Khalul and Mamun didn’t want to do it, it was a sacrifice to fuck up bayaz as they were out gunned at the time. I think Bayaz looks at magic as just another tool like a lever or a bank. Like it might be better to have a friend with a boat then actually owning one. He’s gotta pay for repairs, scrub the barnacles, buy the gas, read at charts, pay fees. You just gotta chill on the boat and bring some beers.
this point is emphasized, I think, by the time when Bayaz almost died after blowing up a tree, which killed, what, twenty men? Even if he sees a use for Art, or for eaters, it would make much more sense for him to manipulate others than to take on the risk himself.
Hey guys love you for doing the podcast, currently listening to all of it Also f*ck you for doing this podcast. After reading the series I thought long and hard for the first time about starting a podcast. And suddenly I find this gem, that's 50+ episodes in. So f*ck you. I love you ❤
We love you to too partner! We like to say that we would do this if we didn’t have people listening but truthfully comments like this keep us going ❤
I’m so glad I found your podcast! I’ll be working my way through all the episodes.
Thanks so much! We’re glad that you’re enjoying it! :)
I hope Joe eventually goes back and shows us the battle between the magi and Kanedias from Bayaz’s pov. I’d like to see prime Bayaz’s fighting prowess and whether or not he is capable with a sword (we see him use the divider against Tolomei in the house of the maker) or if he purely uses his Art to fight
What about brother long foot? That dude is always cracking me up and is multiple books.
Great video guys, I hope you keep making them. This is just my bias showing, but I think you're kind of counting out Scale (I think I might be the only person that actually likes him). From what we saw of him in the Heroes, he was remarkably self-aware about his limitations, but he also understood the nature of the North a lot better than his brother ever did. Add to that him being a well regarded fighter (my guess is he'd be somewhere around Glama or Cairn, but not on the level of the Crew) and Calder acknowledging that his men loved him... I think given the right circumstances he could, potentially, mature into a decent leader and maybe even a contender for his father's crown. That's a massive reach, but I wouldn't dismiss it entirely.
Just discovered your channel, loved this video and I'm off to check out more.
I wonder who they get to play Shivers
❤i love your video.keep creating.we need more first law content . I cant pin point where in the books but ive read all the way through to wisdom of crowds and its very much confirmed
It's implied that what happened to Glokta in Gurkhul is similar to what happened to prisoners of war in Turkey that caused incontinence. It's not for the feint of heart to look up, but it was usually male prisoners, and dozens of male guards.
That's interesting, maybe we will look into just to get an even more vivid picture of Glokta, Thanks!
I think West, in keeping with the themes of the series (as exemplified by Logen Ninefingers) would take a very Tony Soprano Season 6 approach to life. To eleaborate in Season 6a of the Sopranos, Tony is shot in the stomach, survives after a period of coma, and gets a second chance at life. He chooses to be nicer, and to stop to smell the roses. But in Season 6b, Tony reverts back to his piece of $#!+ self he always has been. For West, he would take a new approach to life having survived the radiationof the Seed, be calmer and nicer to people, make all the necessary apologies, etc. But eventually small things would tear away at him until something big finally sets him off and he is biting noses off again, showing that you can't change a person's nature. Not for long any way.
Definitely a route that it could go, we may be to optimistic but we like to think some people in the series change however I can't deny the comparison and Joe has a tendency towards such things. If anything I'm sure George agrees with you haha!
No. Stay the fuck away from my favorite books. If you support this, you are a filthy casual, because we've all seen what Hollywood does to everything it gets it's hands on. True fans enjoy the books for what they are and are content with that.
You can enjoy both, and of course Hollywood could fuck it up, but on rare occasion it works out. We are just hoping for the best. If you just like the books then you can do that, I tend to see it as people going to watch a movie then picking up the books because they watched the movie and realizing how amazing the books are. Believe me they are my favorite books too but a bad movie won’t ruin the books.
@@circleoftheworldpodcast2632 it doesn't ruin the books, but it ruins... Something. I think we can agree that there exists a relationship between books and their adaptations. LOTR didn't change because of the Jackson trilogy, but... Seeing a great rendition of something you love does bring joy. And seeing it tarnished will always nag at your mind. I love Wot, but seeing it get rafed has left a sour taste in my soul. So I stick by my words. I disagree with the 'you don't don't have to watch it' bullshit. You don't have to spit on my beloved stories. The only adaptation of TFL that will work is an anime series. Even GoT merely started out okay, because too much great inner monologue gets lost in translation. I repeat: STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY SHIVERS AND COSCA YOU FILTHY HOLLYWOOD SCUM!
@@angmori172 I hear you man, I’ve said it on the podcast, I think an anime would be best too haha. Looks like a movie is happening wether it should or not so here is for hoping for the best!
Lets here your thoughts and expect lots of coverage! Here is the article for you to see for yourselves! deadline.com/2023/05/best-served-cold-rebecca-ferguson-tim-miller-teaming-for-skydance-movie-1235382849/
I agree, I thought the scene in the Heroes strongly implied he’s an eater, and was an additional warning to Caulder. I’m trying to remember if he’s ever denied it. Then also trying to remember how honest he really is or if he’s been caught lying.
Just finished 2nd reading/listening to all 9 novels, Sharp Ends too, and was having the worst withdrawals from the books. Audible recommended your podcast and I am SO thankful for it! I haven’t gotten any friends to read the books (yet) and my Bachelors is in English so not being around discussions of the books has been awful! So thank you for your podcast, the memes on the site are awesome, and the intelligent discussion of the books! It’s awesome to have validation on my opinion of the brilliance of the writing, the theories, all of it! And one of you mentioned the books got you through some hard times, which I can relate to as well, so THANK YOU for the podcast and all you’re putting out there!
Hey! We're so glad you're enjoying the podcast! We love hearing from people who have had similar experiences to us. If you don't mind us asking, how did Audible recommend the pod to you?
It came up in the app (when I finished the trilogy) under “recommended for you.” There was one review, I think. Interesting algorithms bc I don’t use audible for podcasts, so I’m grateful it recommended it bc I wouldn’t have found you otherwise.
Good looking crew
Idk, despite the fact that I would like to put big ass Morgenstern up Leo's ass, I still think he's A.
Loving these so far I must say. Really happy to have content about this series being made. I've read them far too many times and I really appreciate your guy's takes. Keep on the quality content boys.
Thank you! That really means a lot! Just finished the script for part 3 and it’s gonna be the biggest yet! I’m really glad to hear your a fan of it all friend, we love the first law and someone’s gotta start making the moves if holloywood isn’t haha
@@circleoftheworldpodcast2632 Stoked, can't freaking wait. I've been particularly enjoying the before they are hanged coverage because, well, it's a damn amazing time filled with some of the best battle scenes I've ever read. Can't wait to see this project come full circle. Of the world.
I liked the video a lot. I have started on your podcast on TH-cam too. I'm only on episode 8 but I have been so obsessed with this world that I am running a dnd game in it. Videos like this really help explain and visualize the conflict
@@TheChessman18 great to hear that! That’s a big reason we are making them! Also I want to run a dnd campaign in it so bad! I try and think what classes everyone is lmao
Hope you all enjoy this, definitely more areas to improve, but I happy to continue the series with you all!
SPOILER QUESTION about the last trilogy ending --> Where is the place where Black Calder retreated to in the wisdom of crowds? After rikke takes over carleon?Where bayaz visits calder as hes ammasing more northern and crinna troops. The place/city begins with a C I think but it's not on any first law maps.
Just caught up with the pod so made my way over here looking for more FL content. Well done mate, you did a great job putting this together. It's been a while since I read/listened to the first trilogy. What were the three signs that served as a prelude to the war, do you recall? Likewise, is it ever specified what three gifts Bayaz have to Bethod back in the day?
Three signs will be covered in the next part which will hopefully be out soon haha, and Bayaz gave Bethod, something he could’ve never known but for his art. And the other two had to do with weather and time. Those ones are harder to remember off the top of my head. Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the pod too my friend.
Great work, Harrison. I eagerly await the next part. You are a man of many remarkable talents.
Thank you Mr. Panda Sir haha, sorry it’s been awhile but life is crazy
This dude has skills!!! Promote your social media with Promo>SM!
Great job on the video keep it up!
Thought it's pretty much confirmed he's an eater after the scene in the heroes and the fact his apprentice is.
I definitely wouldn’t say it’s confirmed as that is the only scene that he is eating meat like that. But that’s why we made the theory video, George will be so ecstatic that you feel the same as him though!😄
@@circleoftheworldpodcast2632 come on!! He's an eater! No way Bayaz as a character would pass on extra power like that....But I think it would be more interesting if he wasn't.
@@devanman7920 haha! That’s the spirit. Well that’s interesting because I don’t think he is, but would find it more interesting if he was lol
He shows none of the abilities of an eater tho none of the speed, vitality, strength. Look at the abilities of the 100 words, shenkt, etc even sulfur caught a cannon ball. Bayaz would be maybe the strongest eater if he was one and could have backhanded his way across the old empire instead of passing out everytime he uses his art. I can’t remember exactly who but a couple eaters talked about it like it was a curse so I think there some catch that comes with his power. And bayaz thinks I’m nigh immortal anyway and I have eater(s) to do my bidding when I need that tool why get mixed up in that shit myself if I don’t need to.
Nice
Thank you!
Love this video! I would love to see more just like it. It really breaks down the geographic, social and political dynamics of the north
Thank you! My plan is go through many of the events in the First Law!
Very good video. I especially like the map, who is the artist? I see is a bit different inthe placement of places and the flow of rivers than the canon map I've seen, but I like this one more so it's great!
I got some inspiration from other artist and did some tracing of some keys features before I made it. But thank you! I’m quite happy with the map but will probably modify and add as we go through the series we’ll see!
it sounds exhausting being Bethod.
Projects like this are so important to help grow the entire first law universe. When people discover the series and start googling their questions etc.. videos like this will really help to pull them in to the world. Great work
That was one the big reasons I made it! Thank you for the kind words😁
This is actually a lot more badass than i remember reading in the books
Haha thanks man, I tried to make it epic, and think of this as what went into the history books🤙🏻
Nice work!
Thank You! The comment means alot man, gets me motivated to make part 2!
We hope you guys enjoy this video, it took a long time and I learned alot so hopefully future parts have shorter wait times haha. Also take it easy on me alright this is my first more "professional" video
Do you not think that Bayaz would have just had Sulfur kill West, due to the influence (I assume) he would have over Jezal? Bayaz would recognise West as a threat due to his competence and popularity. Unlike Jezal who’s more of a useful idiot. I think Bayaz wouldn’t choose West as his second, more because he isn’t as ruthless as Glokta. Bayaz knows Glokta will do the really dark shit that he thinks needs to be done. Edit: The dogs part was hilarious 😂😂
It’s highly possible that West would be killed in the scenario he lives, but I don’t think early on, and later it might be better to keep as a retired war hero who can come in and help with stability when he backs Jezal. He’s a tool like everyone is until West chooses a different path. Definitely agree on your second point, he picked Glokta because he was ruthless not be surprised he was popular
We had alot of fun with this one, hope you all did too! Let us know what you think would happen.
Fucking hilairous
Hope you all enjoyed a lore video in this style, seems more fitting for the first law, also I know my is a little wonky in this one
Shivers in one of my favs but Gorst would win. A hard fought battle no doubt but Gorst always relishes challenges & would level up. I always felt that there were also subtle hints of a hidden mystery (more than just training) about Gorst fighting skills/berserkerness. Beloved by the Union moon maybe lol
