This is truly magnificent. I wish Maturin had his own movie, but not like Happy Feet or Finding Nemo. A serious lore bomb movie.

I gotta ask... Do you know Discworld series?
It looks epic and shrouded in myth(itycal nebulas).

Niolu In reply to Izvin [2019-01-03 08:45:38 +0000 UTC]

I'd say Mort and Guards! Guards 

Not very original I'm afraid xD

What are yours ?

Izvin In reply to Niolu [2019-01-03 13:57:40 +0000 UTC]

No worry.
Night watch, Thud, Small gods, Carpe Jugulum, Reaper man probably.
Mort was excellent too. Part of me horrendously wished he would finish that transformation or later win in duel with Death, but it is better he didn't. And his fights with Ysabell were lovely. Nice how he seemed to have fallen for princess, but actually hookep up with Death's daughter, while Kelly got magician. He was cute too. But Mort was my fav in that book I think. And GG is blindingly brilliant. Vetinari and rats, deadly law book, Carrot arresting people, arresting dragon, shooting at dragon, dragon theory, Erol, Errol and she-dragon together, Vimes and Sybil as their paralel, secret societies, city is a woman kicking you in the... Teeth, Vimes finding his copper spirit... That list could go on and on.

Ah yes Pennywise's eternal nemesis of the Macroverse where it's Creation (Maturin) vs. Consumption (Pennywise/IT)

Maturin is a Discworld? I thought he was just a giant space turtle.

Niolu In reply to JJWS92 [2018-07-24 04:45:34 +0000 UTC]

He's supposed to support the dark tower, and to have spat up the world, we kinda don't know ! I guess I've mix him up with Pratchett's Discworld and especially Akupāra, the World Turtle from Hindu mythology. Anyways, thanks for fav and the watch

Maturin spat just one universe, there are thousands others across existence!

NonieR [2018-07-09 08:28:13 +0000 UTC]

Don't forget to hashtag the turtle too...! 


So this is based on some Steven King rather than Terry Pratchett's Discworld? I guess the absence of Cori Celesti and the Gods' bijou palaces in Dunmanifestin would match that.

Niolu In reply to NonieR [2018-07-09 08:32:11 +0000 UTC]

Haha, maybe my mind mix them up ! I had the idea while reading King, but I was not seeking to make a perfect representation of neither King's nor Pratchett's gods If that makes sense...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

NonieR In reply to Niolu [2018-07-09 08:47:17 +0000 UTC]

I don't think it's possible to do a perfect representation of Discworld's gods, because they're about as imperfect as possible.


Though I do have a fondness for Annoia (I forget the spelling), goddess of things that get stuck in kitchen drawers....
