I have yet to met another person that has read all these books (okay a large ask with 17 books total but still)
Y'all ever realize that each of the Garde's Legacies suit their personality/roles and suit them.
4/John. Before the Ximic bs, John was a specialist with some of the most diverse abilities, allowing him to excel in different situations. Lumen/Pyrokinesis allows him to fight in chaotic situations like in a fire without hurting himself as well as dishing it out. He can call allies with Animal Telepathy and turn Mogadorian beasts against them.
5. A lone soldier, has Legacies that allows him to endure damage (Externa) as well as dish it out. As well to escape if he needs to with his Avex
6. Has Legacies that allows her to either support her allies (Noxen) by spreading her invisibility and staying under the radar or take out enemies stealthily. As well as take out high priority targets with her lightning 🌩/elemental manipulation. Her Sturma isn't as useful in 1v1 fights because of the concentration needed, but with the help of allows she can use it to its full potential.
7. Marina. A survival specialist and adaptable in any situation. Can see in the dark, breathe underwater and has accelerated speed, healing. All useful for survival. Then finally has her master Legacy, Glacen which she can use to fight.
8. Teleportation, density control and shape-shifting were a powerful set of abilities with great potential which the humorous and easy-going Eight used for his amusement to playfully test his fellow garde as well as to evade the Mogadorians while remaining in India for so many years.
9. Super strength, speed and hearing, as well as the ability to produce fields of anti-gravity, animal telepathy and legacy transference. While Nine is surely full of bravado and a bit bloodthirsty, explaining his enhanced physicals - he also hates bullies and can empathize and communicate with animals as well as empower his comrades with legacy transference.
Ella. The youngest of the Garde sought to bring them all together, seeking out Marina with Crayton as well as Eight and would eventually awaken Telepathy to find a lost Six. Despite her being powerless at times physically, she possessed great mental prowess and would eventually awaken Dreynen - the Legacy with the power to induce powerless in other Garde by suppressing their legacies.
I just finished reading the lorien legacies books. If I was one of the og elders, I would have chosen the order differently. Girls would be last so that if just in case all of them gets killed, the final garde is a girl and she can maybe have a child with a human and their child can have a chance of having legacies because they still have loric blood in them even if they're half human half loric.
Number 1 would be number Three(M)
Number 2 would be number Five(M)
Number 3 would be Number Nine(M)
Number 4 would be Number Eight(M)
Number 5 would be Number Four/John(M)
Number 6 would be Number One(F)
Number 7 would be Number Seven/Marina(F)
Number One and Marina are girls and they're older than the other garde. The younger ones should be the last ones so they have time to develop their legacies.
Number 8 would be Number Two(F)
Number Two is younger than Six and she's also kinda soft and not a fighter but I want Six to be the final girl.
Number 9 would be Number Six(F)
Number 10 would be Number Ten/Ella
Ella isn't really part of the charm so it doesn't matter and she's also young so she needs time to develop her legacies.
Off topic und es juckt niemanden ABER
Ich muss mich bissl über das Konzept des "Männerballetts" aufregen
Für alle, die das nicht kennen (also ich vor nem Jahr): Ein Männerballett ist eine Tanzgruppe in einem Karnevals-/Faschingsverein, die nur aus Männern besteht. Sie tanzen zu einem bestimmten Thema (beliebt ist Malle o.ä. soweit ich bisher mitbekommen habe).
Was fuckt mich jetzt an tanzenden Männern ab?
DER LOW AS FUCK EFFORT
Die Choreografien, die da getanzt werden sind super super simpel und einfach. Denk an einfache Tanzbewegungen. Das ist die Choreografie. Und meist auch ausgeführt ohne Taktgefühl und Synchronität. Gerne auch random Freestyle Parts ohne Choreo.
An sich again, nichts schlimmes, nicht jeder kann tanzen bzw Choreos erstellen. Aber wenn man sich dann die (hauptsächlich) weiblichen Tanzgruppen aka die Garden des gleichen Vereins anschaut, ist das ein komplett anderes Bild. Anspruchsvolle, vollgepackte, synchrone Tänze.
Mich nerven einfach diese unterschiedlichen Standards? Die Frauen sehen perfekt aus, stecken richtig viel rein etc und das von den Männern sieht oft zusammengewürfelt aus lowkey.
Und beide werden gleichwertig gefeiert (wenn nicht sogar die Männer mehr).
