Posts from [ANOTHER FLAME WAR] Are dragons overpowered or not? Auto-translated

Oh, Zubr, hello. We're having a very interesting, and most importantly, philosophical conversation here. Join us! ^_^

He just came here because of the anime; he doesn't care about the topics.

Tolkien, EVERYTHING (where there are dragons, basically everywhere in Ea), Perumov, a continuation of Tolkien (Ring of Darkness), Perumov had something else, I don't know, some kind of nonsense, I don't remember, in Lukyanenko's Night Watch, there was a dragon, intelligent, even walking around in human form, about the human form, The Witcher (film, haven't read the book, haven't played the game, although I think it's the same there (the film is garbage)), intelligent dragons in Gothic, the second part (although I don't know about their daily life, you just need to kill them there, and before that, a long conversation on frivolous topics, saying that you are wrong, paladins, that our Evil God Belial will solve everything), the film Nibelungen (I don't know, I might have made a mistake with the title, anyway, there a knight went to kill a dragon in the name of glory), and there's also a children's film about a little dragon =^_^=

P.S. Philosophy is everywhere, I usually have a philosophical attitude towards everything)
and about Kosh and her Banhammer, can't you understand the joke? Relax, it's just WoW).

Yesterday, while trying to fall asleep, I was watching the series "Primal" on Channel One. It's about dinosaurs.

Perumova can by no means be called a "trendsetter in the genre." In my opinion, she is just another mediocre writer. A fantasy version of Dontsova. That's pretty much all I can remember from the list. In most other works, the dragon is just a simple, epic lizard that the hero needs to kill so it doesn't eat sheep or burn down villages. And in "The Ring of the Nibelung," the dragon was also just a simple creature. Except that the locals gave it a name. So...

about Kosha and her Banhammer, are you really not getting the joke? Relax, it's just WoW.

Yes, very original jokes, you can't help but laugh. Your moderator must be quite the comedian.

Don't take it so seriously.
So, you mixed up the Nibelungs, well, I don't remember, I watched the movie a long time ago.
Well, even if you don't like Perumov, I don't particularly like him either, but the fact remains. And the other works I mentioned have normal dragons.
By the way, a brilliant idea, has either of us actually seen a real dragon in person, so we can argue?)) lol, there aren't any, are there? x

P.S. lol, we've been arguing for so long already))

Greetings to all the charming people in this thread! *whacked everyone with a banhammer and climbed onto my favorite birch tree with apples*

This would explain a lot, but it seems I understand it anyway.
And what, do you ban everyone for disagreeing, whoever happens to be in the crosshairs? I've seen a couple of ban-happy people, and they usually don't bother to understand. They just dismiss and send away those who are unhappy.

Show me ONE person I've banned. Point your finger. Who did I ban? You? Arandor? Revan? Volk? And why are you still writing in this thread then? Don't you think what you said is absurd?
Okay, if you don't understand the meaning of the word "entertainment" and can't turn a semi-heated argument into a peaceful, friendly conversation, it's not my fault. I'll be as serious as a komodo dragon.

and about Kosh and her Banhammer, can't you understand the joke? Relax, it's just WoW)

Volk, you need to calm down. This person can't relax and takes every word seriously. I'm willing to bet they don't understand why we haven't argued yet and why, for example, I manage to maintain a perfectly peaceful relationship with Revan, despite all our disagreements and arguments. Be glad that you can distinguish a playful manner of communication from a serious one.

And now, ON THE TOPIC: In my opinion, "works" are not only literary. Above, I provided several drawings where dragons are shown from different perspectives. I don't deny that in some works, dragons are portrayed as cruel and evil creatures (I myself wrote something similar about dragons in a negative role when I was about 8-10 years old), but nevertheless, THERE ARE works where the winged ones are quite intelligent and often friendly. Maybe there aren't many of them, but nevertheless, they EXIST, and that's the main thing. Therefore, it should not be assumed that ALL dragons are the same, as one of our acquaintances is trying to do.
I can also give a few musical works as an example. Let's remember my favorite band, Melnitsa *I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Revan was quietly sneaking up with rotten tomatoes*. There is a perfectly classic dragon, sitting on a hoard. Is the ultimate dream achieved? Not quite!

I curse the accursed gold
For its treacherous glow of warmth.
I remember the one who once
Who once had wings,
She has long since died...

And this is said by a stupid monster, for whose complete happiness, all it needs is a mountain of treasures under its belly and a local princess in the attic? I don't believe it.

P.S. By the way, I just remembered Asprin and his Myth series. Gleep is a creature with the sweetest soul, as it turns out in one of the parts - quite intelligent, and in general, very friendly and playful.

for example, even with Revan, despite all our disagreements and arguments, I manage to maintain a perfectly peaceful relationship.

Have we had/do we have disagreements? Well, that's surprising.

Don't you remember how we argued in the thread about Melnica? :D I still have it somewhere...
And here, too, people voted for different options, but if we're going to have a debate, let it be with Hammers of Fate and flood cannons!

Yeah... Maybe you'll also remember the anime debate? :D

I didn't participate in that particular argument as actively, but I remember this flame war very well)))

if Revan says something negative and doesn't like it, it means he will like it in the future.

Actually, who said that I like King's Bounty and/or Anime?

well, you didn't watch it before, but now you do) you even set it as your avatar.

Revan was simply bitten by an anime fan and infected with cuteness).
