Can we get a rant video about the elves and Eragon? Yeah, okay. This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long. Okay, so Eragon, if you don't know, I don't feel like explaining it, so just like go Experience it yourself. I think it's a pretty good series, but I don't know whatever. It's not what I'm here to talk about But yeah, yeah, I'm laying on the floor get over it. So the elves are super obnoxious and Eragon though because like They're the middle earth perfect elves from the Lord of the Rings movies not really the books but the movies just turned up to 11 because The thing is the elves and Eragon are like these isolation isolationist tree people who with pointy ears basically like after the dragon riders were all killed off they Went into their forest and they just sort of sat around and waited for more dragon riders to come and solve things Which is weird because they're supposedly these big badasses who can fight really well and we kind of see that later, but so it seems like they just kind of Decided to leave humans to their own fate because Humans are less enlightened than them because really Christopher Paulini writing about the elves and Eragon feels like a weeiboo writing about Japan Except he's never been to Japan and so he's only writing about what he's found through anime that I mean that would be most weeiboo's but whatever the point is It feels like he's trying to make them as perfect as possible and Gloss over any flaws or just not make any flaws because They're like I said they're these enlightened tree people okay. They live in the woods They don't eat meat. They're all vegetarians because they can like telepathically communicate with animals and stuff and they just Know they don't want to be eaten and they know others don't want to be eaten So they just eat fruits and they don't even cut down trees to make their houses They like sing and use magic to make trees grow a certain way and live in them that way um That's kind of dumb and they just Spend all their time just gaining knowledge and being really good at magic and They also have this weird free love thing going on where they don't get married and they just if two people decide to be together They're than they are and if they're not they're not and They barely ever have children either and that's never explained. I don't think because like They never mention any sort of birth control or anything. It's just like yeah, elves don't have children very often and also they're immortal So it's okay that they don't have children very often. It's just It's just dumb and then they like have a quality between men and women and the humans are shown to be misogynistic so like oh Humans are so silly and dumb and then at the same time The elves are like speaking of enlightens. They're these Hardcore atheists, which is like they're reasoning for it and like the entire race are atheists as far as we see and The reasoning for it is that like well, there's just not enough evidence to support day at ease being around and I mean like Okay, I don't disagree with your reasoning, but the way it's shown in the books is like really obnoxious and I just kind of am reminded that Christopher Paulini was in a cult when he was a kid But let's not get too deep into that look Anyways, the elves like yeah, they're just their atheism is kind of obnoxious and just feels Well, no, it just feels obnoxious and then I mentioned earlier They're supposed to be these big bad asses and they are they're like you know, they're immortal and they spend all their years learning about how to do amazing magic that humans can't do and And because of their bond with the dragons it makes them like harder better faster stronger than humans could ever be except for dragon riders obviously and so When they when they finally get involved in the war at the end of the series they Kick crazy ass and they cut through all the human armies like crazy, and it's just like why didn't you guys do this before? Why don't you just 100 years ago like you're supposedly fighting Galvatorex because he's evil but like you couldn't Do that earlier why not why do it earlier you could have saved everyone trouble whatever um and What else was there was there was there anything else about the elves that was done. Oh, they're impossibly beautiful to like All of them like they can change their appearance at will but even like by default They're just extremely beautiful by human standards like you know, they're super fairer and they're I their skin and eyes are like glistening and bright and all that and They're immortal so they can just do whatever they want forever. It's like it's The term Mary Sue gets thrown around too much these days, but I mean The elves are a Mary Sue race because they're like even the people that dislike them for the most part are shown to be Like dumb or shown to be wrong like the humans who are afraid of elves stealing their children are shown to be superstitious and stupid and Like literally the wiki the wiki page for elves in eragon The top quote is someone just saying by the elves all they do is sit around and wait to be conquered and by the end of the series It's like they're trying to show him wrong by throwing the elves in there, but like I said the elves were just kind of hanging around not helping anybody so That's really what a Mary Sue is well, that's part of what a Mary Sue is is that like The people that hate them are shown to be wrong in every way because oh well, I wouldn't you like the elves they're amazing so it's it is just dumb and I Mean There's something a bit of a non-sequitor. I know but like there's something about the races in this series where like the dwarves seem to be like this masculine ideal where they're you know They're really tough and gruff and they fight a lot and they have big beards and they're constantly being I don't know they just seem like a masculine ideal whereas the elves are like beautiful and intelligent and Always looking for knowledge and the basically they're more cerebral than the dwarves so they're supposed to be like this feminine ideal I guess and I forgot where I was going with this But I guess this might be an interesting essay topic or something one day because I Mean I'm not gonna jump to any conclusions here, but I will say that the elves didn't actually want to fight Until they were forced to so I don't know what's that say? I'm not whatever I'm not making any real statements on that just Whatever that whatever just people wanted rants I The elves and air gone are obnoxious for all the reasons I just listed and That's it patron names here. Whoo thanks, and it's a rant video. You don't need all your names said bye
