    I think Myth is a pretty cool guy. eh secures the next 1,000 year cycle of Light, uses dream magic and doesn't afraid of anything.

    This is probably the first prototype of an audiobook that I had experienced as a child and the reason why I love then so much.
    This is how I would like audiobooks to sound: great voice acting, music, sound effects even, pictures.
    This is better than a book, a comicbook and a movie in some ways. And I honestly think it is accessible for people to make who can't afford to make a movie.

      I wonder what the Fallen Lords feel about being turned villainous. Balor, Shiver, even Soulblighter.
      Dare I say, The Deceiver is the living example that these people were once heroes. He's clearly driven to the brink, but enough of his senses still are about him that he willingly works for the Light even if its for his own gain.
      Dare I say, I wonder if its possible to recruit Fallen Lords before they are uncovered by any Leveler. It's risky, but there must be payoff even if its one time.

    Theory: Crüniac is the narrator from the first game

    • @SolinOutlander
      @SolinOutlander 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Hmm... I recall reading somewhere that back in the Fallen Lords, the only unit type that was included in every battle that the narrator said he was actually involved in was an archer. Of course, it could easily be the case that Bungie never really gave overmuch thought about the exact occupation of the narrator.
      As to the idea that Crüniac is the previous narrator: I doubt it. Sixty years have passed, and there was never any indication that the previous narrator, nor Crüniac, had the kind of magic that would slow aging to the point that Crüniac could be a veteran and still be working as a captain of the Legion. Though that would have been an interesting twist: oh look, Crüniac was an Avatara the whole time.

      @@dimas3829 Interesting thought, but also one that I would need some in-universe allusion to. We know time passed differently within the Tain, but there was never a real indication it went beyond that. If there was some hint about that, please share. I'm always willing to be proven wrong if it means that I'm learning something new or having some detail I never noticed before pointed out 😛
      Well, ok, I suppose its time twisting nature could explain why the Summer had to be within the Tain fragment to bring back the Myrkridia, but my personal theory on that front was either A) he needed the skulls of the Myrkridia in order to revive them - as shown by his needing to pick up the skulls in order to bring more to defend himself - and B) Soulblighter put him there because where better to keep him safe and able to do his work than a pocket dimension with limited access? I doubt Soulblighter believed that the Legion would even *think* to hunt down a fragment, nevermind willingly transport themselves within.

      This series had a beginning (Myth III), a middle (Myth I) and an ending (Myth II), it doesn't need to keep going, telling the same story over and over again. It would just be another franchise that only makes sequels to cash in on a popular game title and not because they want to make a game with a good storyline, which is always case with titles that just won't end. People really need to learn to let things come to an end.

      Yes indeed but they put more thought into it then they show. A lot of details are hidden in texts and on their official sites but it was cut from the game for pacing issues (like how Shiver was resurrected).
      I will say this about the story it creates a lot of magical items to solve problems, that is indeed true but this world if full of magic so... not impossible.
      It does a good job showing the tension, you never feel like the good guys are given a easy victory.
