    can u tell me if this takes place before the revelation at the shaolin meeting? if it is the case then it is a pity becoz the revelation at shaolin would lose its dramatic effect if we already know who is the big bro

    Thank you sooo much Athena!!!!You are the best!!
    Respect other people's opinions and views. If we learn how to do that than all of these fights and arguments will not occur.

    Are you talking about that Shaw Brothers movie 'Ode to Gallantry'? That movie sucks. I only like the ending because it confirms the identity of GouZhaZhong. The actor who plays GZZ is totally wrong for the role (even Dr.Bei look younger than him) and I hate his potrayal of GZZ.

    Yeah that's the one. And yeah, it pretty much sucks. and yeah, Bei Haishi was definitely miscast! and those demonic guys from the West at the end had some of the worst facial makeup ever.

    JY is making wholesale changes to the novel, i'm kind of with Bliss and RWX on this that the revision should corrects the timeline continuity and to make things tighter and making a stronger punch.

    The changes from 1st edition to the 2nd edition visibly enhance the novels.

    Has the third edition able to do it as well?




    Further, with the 3rd ed DSGD, the single glaring point that DY was not "one woman person" struck me as the single biggest change. It is so out o keeping with the old DY, and also his brothers who each only love one woman.

    The new JMZ's background history with MRB is good, but the love quadrangle between TSTL, LQS, WYZ and DCQ is an utter mess.

    I like most of the other changes that was posted here.


    Further question, what happened to the YJJ that YTZ had, did he only learned the Yoga style? Did he complete it? Did anyone in Shaolin learned YJJ?

    Also any other changes to Sweeper Monk?

    Seems like the YJJ ink was washed away to reveal the hidden Yoga text. So he only had the yoga manual left. No YJJ for him.

    Although I said earlier that fight scenes turn me on, most of the fights in Ode to Gallantry is not very exciting. I can only think of a few that I thoroughly enjoyed: Xie Yanke vs the Changle Association at his home, Zhang San and Li Si's debute, Bai Zizai trying his best to injure Potian, and of course, Shi Potian demonstrating the ultimate form of martial arts to Lord Long + Mu.

    From Athena's updates on the changes in the third edition, have any of you guys changed your mind to the fighter rankings in DGSD, Internal energy wise?

    In my mind, Sweeper and Xu Zhu being 1) and 2) (order impossible to determine who is better)

    Next i would Duan Yu , 4) Wu Yazi. I think more highly of Wuyazi's ability now that it took both LQS and DingCQ - in an ambush too - to take down Wuyazi. I believe that his power woudl have increased faster than LQS when he was crippled because being a cripple he had nothing better to do but possibly cultivate his internal energy. In ROCH, it was said that the head mistress of the Loveless valley cultivated her energy faster than normal because she was in the bottom of the pit and had nothign better to do.

    TSTL seems less powerful now, considering almost everybody in Xiao Yao (DCQ, WYZ, LQS) knew a piece of her best skill , the youth skill.

    Athena is a genius and the only person (in this thread) that I trully respect (pai fu) to the end, and I don' t have a lot of people that I respect to the really end.
    ZWJ...., one change. Make him like only ZM or at least only one of the girls. Not saying he likes all 4 and doesn't know himself which one he likes the most. I just don't like that. The 2002 adaption of HSDS's end was good. ZWJ going with ZM to the ice fire island in the end.

    Default Well

    My opinion on the change of ZWJ to liking only one of girls isn't bad in my opinion. And it isn't a huge change and defitnitely none in his personality.

    Dude, what in the god's name are you talking about man?

    OF course I respect her, along with Ken, Super Boy, CC, Lav, Hank, Han..etc....

    BUt I don't go around and say "So, and so, is the only one that I truly respect or paifu(by the way, its P-E-I F-U!). YOu get what I'm saying?

    IF Athena is the only person you admire or PEI FU, great! Keep it to yourself. You understand?

    Dude, if you want whsie's respect, scolding him here is not going to make him respect you any more.

    Respect is earned, not demanded.
    I wish people would back their assertions about facts with facts.

    Just because something is your opinion, doesnt necessarily make it true.

    Actually (and the risk of further derailing this thread), every decent person is due a modicum of respect. Special esteem is a different matter, however.
