New Eragon-film poster!

May 30, 2006 08:14

http://www.shurtugal.com/galleries/displayimage.php?pid=992&fullsize=1Good? Bad? I'd call it a lot better than that blue-snot E-dragon, because Murtagh's on it looking like a sexy, sexy angstmuffin, but everyone else looks kinda funny ( Read more... )

Is it my imagination but does the elf chick look about thirty/fourty in that?

jenil May 30 2006, 12:55:49 UTC

Pointy boobies!

odclay May 30 2006, 22:33:59 UTC

Boobies? I see no boobies. All I can see is Eragon's FRIGGIN' HUGE SHOULDER.

jenil May 31 2006, 02:42:14 UTC

XD Is it somehow odd that we notice the, um, aspects, of the opposite sex? By all rights, you should be noticing her pointy boobies.

Hmm, I guess it helps that I do not find Eragon attractive in any way at all. Especially his shoulder.

odclay May 31 2006, 05:24:13 UTC

Well, yeah, I should be noticing her pointy boobies, but there's something about his mutant shoulder, especially noting that Ergy's vest hides his other shoulder, that makes it look WWWAAYYYYY out of proportion to the rest of his body. Forget hunchback--it's the Hunchshoulder of Carvahall. Or, to be more parallel to Quasimodo's title--The Hunchshoulder of Farthen Dur.

Might be just me, though. I don't have the best depth perception. There's this girl I knew in high school, barely five feet tall, who, due to her body structure, somehow looked like she was taller. So whenever she stood next to someone of average height, she actually seemed to be standing several feet further away. She screwed with perspective. It annoyed me.

And that's what Ergy's shoulder does to me.

Also, he doesn't look like much of a farm-boy from a poor backwater district of the Empire, either...

Tee hee. Sequined breastplate!

I always thought that Galbatorix was Brom and vice versa (in the movie, of course). See, Galbatorix just looks so bald and...grandfatherly, whereas Brom looks pretty kickass and sinister with his sword and sleepy glare.

Murtagh, sexy? Nah, I think his hair needs a good wash first.

attack_bunny May 30 2006, 13:29:39 UTC

Bet you a quid that's why Murtagh was so keen on Galby first off. He offered him a lollipop and asked him how he was doing at school. 'Wove a beautiful vision of Alagaesia', my arse.

Murtagh, sexy? Nah, I think his hair needs a good wash first.
WTF?! BLASPHEMY! Murtagh doesn't need to wash his hair! Well, presumably he does sometimes, but given that he's clean-shaven in Gilead he seems to be taking care of his appearance pretty well. Fleeing from evil empires is no excuse for not being cute.

But I digress. My point is that Murtagh is PRETTY and has PRETTY HAIR.

jenil May 30 2006, 13:36:06 UTC

Hmm, he's certainly prettier than Eragon (I'm really not so fond of the dumb boyband look ;)). Plus, he's wearing black/dark clothes. That's always a plus in my opinion -- adds to the whole broodiness.

little_galaxie May 30 2006, 13:48:12 UTC

No no no, the dumb boyband look suits him.

I just realized that Murtagh played Brad Pitt's brother in Troy. Well then. I think I like him better now.

I love how they put Ajihad in the poster -- talk about token black guy... I mean, he doesn't appear until the end of the book, and then cops it at the beginning of the next one.

attack_bunny May 30 2006, 13:30:25 UTC

Well, Galby hasn't been in any of the books so far at all, and he's on there.

jenil May 30 2006, 13:33:13 UTC

Yeah, but there has to be a Big Bad -- he can't be faceless in the film, otherwise people won't give a poop about what Eragon's fighting against.

attack_bunny May 30 2006, 13:41:35 UTC

At least there's one picture of him backing Durza against a giant map and poking him evilly in the chest. Galbatorix in his sequinned breastplate, and Durza's beaded vest -

We're quite certain Eragon isn't mounting a campaign against the dark forces of homosexuality, right?

I a looking forward to Slash-FanFictions with Murthag and Eragon ... uaah ... horrible!

jenil May 31 2006, 02:50:33 UTC

Hmm, actually, I think Eragon/Murtagh slash wouldn't be so bad. We already know that Eragon has homosexual tendancies. Maybe Murtagh comforts him after Arya rejects him, again... but wait, if they are brothers... *BLEACH!*

It's slash that doesn't fit, that disturbs me. (For example, I point to Harry/Draco -- NO FRICKIN' WAY!)

odclay May 31 2006, 03:46:31 UTC

Or Voldemort/Baby Harry?

kittytherandom May 31 2006, 03:55:11 UTC

Compared to most of the Harry Potter pairings, that one actually seems relatively normal.
