I Re-watched Every Single Episode of LEGEND OF THE SEEKER and...

Yup, I did. I know you're now thinking that I am a maniacal, weird, sociopathic creep. Well, you're not entirely wrong. But I actually started to see it again for good reason, and I am happy I did. I am here to talk about some of the things we missed in the show when we (I) were younger. Legend of the seeker is one of my favorite TV shows of all time up until now. Back then my young and half-baked brain was mesmerized by sorcery and sci-fi bullshit, so I decided to do this and ask myself; Why do I really like this show?

Legend of the seeker is a classic of last decade. It is a show spanning over two episodes, with each almost an hour long. That's pretty massive. It is a show about a young lad who grew up not knowing who he was; 'the chosen one' (an annoyingly cliche bullshit). He then discovers, goes berserk, then return again to take up his quest and kill 'the evil tyrant' according to 'the prophecy'. I mean, how dumb do you think the viewers are Mr producer??!!! If you saw a storyline like this from a recent movie, I am a hundred percent sure you would ignore it. Probably go as far as giving it a bad rating.

So Here are Some Things We (I) Missed Then...

  • The most obvious of all... A shitty plot. Nah, I felt like I wasted about 48 hours of my life after watching it again, but I didn't want to stop so I will give it that. How shittier can a plot get? The chosen one grew up not knowing who he is and eventually starts on his quest fighting made-up demons and evil witches every single episode. With every episode is a new evil. Absolutely boring that.

  • An annoying plot convenience scheme all around. This was epic though. Some way, somehow, Richard always made it in time and saved the day. One classic example was when Richard's loyalty to the quest of the seeker was been questioned by 'the creator' (some weird lady in white that came out of the blue (see what I did there xd.)). He and his friend tried so hard to convince 'the creator' that Richard was a good person to no avail. She always had a counterargument. Eventually, the earth started to crack and the creator almost got smashed by rocks but guess who saved her life........ Take a flipping wild guess. This was just one of the many times the scriptwriters tried in a futile attempt to 'make the movie make sense'

  • Illogical Fight scenes and all. This one was tiring too. I can't begin to count the number of times I yelled at my computer with the words, "So he/she could do that this whole time????!!!!"

  • Unnecessarily long. There was no reason whatsoever for the show to go that far. 45 episodes??????? WHY? Each episode was just a re-enactment of the previous one except with new characters, or old ones with new motives. The climax of this was the ending part of season one when Darken Rahl died. That literally should have ended the show. Every single human on earth would agree that was the grand ending, but noooooo. The weird writers and producers decided create something, a figment of thier immaginable. Something soooooo Implausible. Stone of Tears. WTF?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How original

There are other countless things we (I) missed. Maybe some good ones, but definitely a lot of bad ones. As we grew older we realized how shitty the show was. Oh well, this has been fun. I hope no one was rattled, and if ya did... sorry not sorry. Till next time. Cheers.

Sort:  

I have no idea how I haven't heard of this one by now, but it definitely sounds interesting!

Wow

The show is quite old
I'm surprised you haven't heard of it

It's a great watch tho

It's actually shocking that people didn't know about this show. Or is it that it trended only in Nigeria?

It's shocking

It was a massive movie at a time

Oh no, I am filling your comment box... It's been a while I looked for your trouble... Duuuhhh 😂😂😂

I'm happy you came around 🤣

I'm sure you brought money too

Hehehehe ... I have told you a hundred times over... There's no money in this country 😏😅😅

He no reach your side

Also, I have memories of the scenes that spoke to me and I still revisit those memories when events presents itself in real life.

Good for you Iska.

Albeit I'd like to know those scenes tho 😁

I guarantee it would be the intimate part 😁

Lemme ooo 😂😂😂

Interesting, I never knew they made a TV series from these books (I read the first couple of them a long long time ago). Sounds like the series was worse than the books even (although I DNF the book series either as it just got very repetitive), so maybe it was for the best...

Okay so first off, thank you for that massive upvote, very encouraging that.

Also, the tv show is like 12 years old, how did you miss it 😲

Even tho I love books I always try to avoid series but they are the finest most times. Eg. Sherlock Holmes,game of thrones, chronicles of Narnia, etc.

Ironically after seeing your comment, I saw someone else's review on Google talking about how overarching the book was to the movie.

You should defo check the series

Thanks again 🙏

But who saved the creator's life? A whole creator 😂😂

I never saw it because I didn't have the chance to but I'm sure I would have liked it then. I was crazy about Merlin and I guess this was no different.

Yup Merlin and this one we're in the same category

I didn't see Merlin sef

Yes, Merlin and this movie.... Omo, my siblings and I watched both movies a lot of times..... My dad had to ask if we never get tired of repeating the series 😅😅

I haven't watched this show since it first aired, but after reading your post, I think I'm going to give it another shot. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

You're welcome

Odd that the post condemning it is what encouraged you to see it 😅

Nice

I really didn't have memories even when I have seen this movie more than twice.

I find the magical aspect fun and the sisters of the dark always make my day.

It's a good series

Yup

The magic was the fun, and the sisters of the dark too ,,😅

And yes, I would gladly see this movie again and again if an opportunity presents itself.

Detach yourself from the perfection you think it should have had and read in between the lines of what its trying to teach ... Hehehehe

Genuinely it wasn't teaching anything new a 21st century movie wouldn't teach or what I don't know already but I will admit, there are a lot of positives to take out. I meanz it's a 48hrs show of course it would have lessons 😏

But na nonsense show make we no lie

Wahala.... Argue with yourself 😂😂

Nope

You started it

I rest my case ooo 😆😆

Nope

You have started it, we will do it till tomorrow

No, I don't have to rewatch the movie to have those memories. I am stuck with them

I don't remember the entire story line as it stands and I would love to see it again. But I have scenes I never forget

These days I think about it from the point of view of someone who is seeing real life scenarios

Okay so the fact that you commented three times shows your love for the show and I'm actually happy you got some important lessons from the movie. I did too.

##BUT

the movie is still shite tho

Hahaha..... Three times? You'll be shocked... Soon 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

I see you already are 😅😅😅

You're a trouble maker shey you know???!!

I know oooo 😂😂 .... In short, almost everyone knows already 🤣🤣

Only @iskafan 14 comments 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Onijorgbon

I warned you.. you'll be shocked.....here is your proof 😂😂😂

@iskafan is here commenting like multiple personalities. This show really burst her head o

😂😂😂😂😂 it did ooo .... Lol

Omo🤣

It doesn't matter what you say, all I know is that the first time I knew I had an active libido was when I saw the scene the seeker and confessor had their intimacy 😅😅😅😅

No that scene was fire tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was rooting for the both of them to do the thingy tho

Felt right 😅

😂😂😂

I felt the same way too 🤣🤣

This book series is one of my all time favorites, although it might be heavily based in nostalgia seeing as it was really the first fantasy series I ever read and got me into the genre. That said, with those expectations, this series was a crime compared to the books IMO. Richard is young, but he's supposed to be a badass. They also made it sort of campy and the source material is more serious and gritty. I really hoped someone else would redo it and do it justice.

Spot on.

It was a shadow of the book with what I've heard.

I don't think there would be a redo tho
