Sure he appears that way but how many other things in the DT and the other branching stories are more than they seem? Every other description put him as something more than just a man.....Hell almost everything Roland and Susannah run into in book VII is somehow veiled/illusory.
B/C when he is physically revealed, he's described as a crazy looking old man in red robes who stands on a balcony and lobs grenades. He barely even talks. He just screams EEEEEEEEEEE most of the time.
But I will humor you for a moment. Lets say the CK is not what he seems. He is, in fact, the most powerful being to ever exist. It still doesn't matter, b/c when he is finally revealed, he stands on a balcony, lobbing grenades, and squealing until his body gets erased by a kid. Having all the power in the multiverse doesn't mean shit if all you do with it is
stand on a balcony, scream EEEEEEEE, and lob grenades.
New custom rank!
I have read all the books, but did not know that there was a rewrite on numero uno. The changes that have been listed certainly put a new paint job on the thing. Need to give that a look over.
I am one of those that felt a little cheated by the ending/beginning, as I had read the original GS - I suppose if one started out with the revised edition, the ending would make a little more sense.
Great books, but the last three were laborious at times. My favorite thing about them has to be the Dr. Doom robots and the killer sneetches. Oh, and lightsabers.
I love that at this point King was basically telling his editors and audience "Well, they’re my books and I want to have military issue sneetches and Dr. Doom robots…oh, and lightsabers; in fact, I am putting me in the book if anyone else says a word."
I, for one, would like to know more about Roland's world, and the Old Ones - I fucking love that Hyperborean age shit; cavemen with flying cars over their heads...anyway, I wish King would get involved in the telling of those tales, perhaps through the comics.
I need to not be smoking weed this early. I have a fucking interview today.
