POPULARITY
Es gibt sie noch, die Romane, bei denen wir uns nicht so wirklich darüber einig sind, ob sie nun gelungen sind oder nicht. Liegt es an uns oder am Roman? Liegt es an der Erwartung oder dem Umgang des Autoren mit dem Thema? Das sind nur wenige der Fragen, die The Living Force (Die Jedi-Meister) bei uns aufgeworfen hat. Im Roman von Star Wars-Veteran John Jackson Miller verschlägt es den kompletten Jedi-Rat nach Kwenn, um der Galaxis zu zeigen, dass dieser sich noch für ihre Probleme interessiert. Doch aus einem Jubiläum droht schnell ein Konflikt zu werden. Anlass genug, damit Ines, Matthias und Tobias sich ausgiebig dem Anspruch und der Umsetzung dieses Romans widmen. Funktioniert es so viele Protagonist*innen glaubwürdig einzuführen und am Ball zu bleiben oder merkt man bereits hier, dass die Ambitionen zu hoch gesetzt waren? Wie funktioniert die Antagonistin? Welche Kontextualisierungen vermissen vor allem Ines und Tobias, wenn es um die (sinnlosen) Taten der Jedi geht und wieso wirkt die Balance zwischen Ernst und Humor manchmal zu arg aus dem Gleichgewicht? All diesen Fragen widmen sie sich in dieser Ausgabe Ausgelesen!

April 2024 unter The Living Force auf Englisch bei Random House Worlds Ein englischsprachiges Hörbuch, gelesen von Marc Thompson erschien am gleichen Tag Die deutsche Übersetzung von Blanvalet erscheint voraussichtlich am 23. Oktober 2024 Die Rezension Tobias hat das Werk kurz nach dem englischen Release für euch rezensiert. Sein Fazit deckt sich - Überraschung - mit seiner Position im Podcast, wenn er resümiert: "The Living Force ist wie der April, in dem der Roman erschienen ist. Er weiß einfach nicht, was er will. Ich hatte Spaß mit dem Buch, wenn die Jedi lustige Begebenheiten erlebt haben, ich hatte Kopfschüttelmomente, wenn zu einfache und glatte Lösungen als gesetzt akzeptiert wurden, und ich hatte Schockmomente, wenn Zilastra mal wieder eine ihrer extremistischen Taten vollbracht hat. Was ich jedoch nie hatte, war das Gefühl, einen kohärenten Roman zu lesen, dessen Aufbau nicht im Widerspruch zu dem steht, was die eigentliche Botschaft hinsichtlich der Prequels in Bezug auf den Jedi-Orden sein sollte. Miller schreibt eine Erfolgsgeschichte, wo Tragik und Blindheit auf der Agenda stehen sollten, und verfehlt es, die Fehleinschätzung des Jedi-Ordens bereits In-Universe einzuordnen. Stattdessen überlässt er es uns, was ihm schlussendlich als Schwäche ausgelegt werden muss". Den JediCast abonnieren Wir sind auf allen gängigen Podcast-Plattformen vertreten!

The truth of Universe continues to delude us. We miss almost entirely what we need to know of humans in Universe. Instead humans everywhere on Earth are subjected as an objective of the slave mentality conditioning supplanted by superficial programming. It manifests layers of irrelevant PRJWBSC subjection, accrediting it as the basis of truth that supposedly is essential to our humanity, our species, humans of a mind in order to survive as a function of it. Intellect, however is a function of finite Universe. Nevertheless, the PRJWBSC is a contextual parameter. The acronym stands for Politics Religion Justice War Belief System Complex. In Universe there are myriads of cyclic periodicities of complex intermotions. Yet these very terms are so unfamiliar by comparison to the superficially supplanted programming that it ought to signify more than a mere dismissal. This is the case however as we tend to regard the unfamiliar terminology as unworthy of consideration, paying no attention to it whatsoever, looking away from what we do not understand, reverting to the familiar words that typically validate and confirm to our individual observations that we are experiencing the same or close enough to the same reality. We are reassured by the familiar articulations regardless from which angle and which concept predicament we might be momentarily caught in as a contributor to the problem or the solution. For the most part it is without depth in thought, without awareness that thoughts are of systems and about which human intellection can think more deeply. We can refer thought to the geometry of thinking and Synergetics, to the minimum structural system of Universe, the invisible but thinkable metaphysical generalized conceptioning, the thought’s prime unfrequenced states and the thought’s primitive unfrequenced states.
Hello and welcome to All Geeks aside the podcast where I take a look at the In Universe histories of Characters or objects as we had last time, of all things geek, be it from comics, manga , Science Fiction, Fantasy and everything in between. This is Part 2 of the Hal Jordon Green Lantern episode, if you like listening out of sequence then go right ahead. I do suggest that you go back and listen to the previous one first. Remember that movie that was released a couple of years ago that had the fabulous Ryan Reynolds in that body hugging suit, no not the red one the green CGI one. Well that was a poor portrayal of the character that I have chosen this time. However in order for us to have a true understanding of this we must first look at 1. where they came from, and 2. what they were envisioned to do, 3. the true origins of their power. Not in that order. It is then and only then that we will truly be able to bring you the best version of this character. Before I continue and reveal the character that I am doing this week I want to thank the fan listener that reached out and requested that he wanted to learn all about Green Lantern, to which I asked which one. It was then decided that I cover Hal Jordan Green. So prepare your Earholes as we dive deep into the History of not only Hal jordan but also of the basics of the Green Lanterns as a Whole. So before I get to Hal I first want look at why there exists a Green lantern Corps in the First place. Who crested them and where does the power of the Green Lanterns come from. We will then look at how a green Lantern is chosen and how the powers are bestowed upon them. Plus if I have time I will look at the other kinds of Lanterns that are in the Universe.

Hello and welcome to All Geeks aside the podcast where I take a look at the In Universe histories of Characters or objects as we had last time, of all things geek, be it from comics, manga , Science Fiction, Fantasy and everything in between. So without further a do lets get down to business. With the release of the movie Red Sparrow and the upcoming release of Avengers Infinity War closing in on us. I have decided to do one of the most sought after women in the Marvel universe. And while she is not originally a hero she has become one of the main stays in all things Avengers. With the relationship between the United States and Russia at an all time high, they even aided in the presidential election. Yes I am doing the Russian super spy Natasha Romanova aka Black Widow. We will learn how she became an Avenger, how she defected from the Russians, and how she planned to kill Captain America. So how did a former Russian Super Spy become both a member of SHIELD as well as a prominent comrade to the Avengers? To answer that we will first need to look at where Natalia came from and what occurred in the years of her life.
