As much as I agree I also live for for the theories. The main one I could think of is what if the robots were made almost as a replacement to life. The books say that the robots aren't effected by the shadows. Maybe like how Silas made his robots to help with his house work and to help continue his work and knowledge even after death.
What if the main reason we see more robots is because they were originally made to help the living but after the shadows starting to take over, maybe people started to make more robots with more knowledge to hopefully carry of life if it were to come to an end because of the shadows. Almost like a fail safe. The robots could store knowledge and that way if the shadows didn't take over the knowledge could still be safe from the stones and Ikol.
Then maybe the robots could build cities safe from the shadows and any danger and they could use their knowledge to bring life back up.
But hey, that's just a theory an Amulet theory :D
(also just an FYI sorry for hijacking all your posts, I just love them and the rewrite and there is just not many other Amulet posts)
As someone who lives robots and actually really like the robot characters Kazu designed for amulet ... there's not really a reason for them to exist in the world of Amulet before the story took a turn to Sci Fi, as much as I love Cosley and Phil ultimately they don't really add anything to the story
I so could have wished to have more back story with Trellis and Riva maybe even Layra. I wanted to know how the elves childhoods were especially how each characters family was so different. I definitely would have loved a book that was devoted to just the elves, to really see how their lives were and if the knew how bad the war really was or if they even knew about it.
Ikol too, how did he come to be? They semi mentioned other voices like himself. Are they all like him? Is he the worst of the group or are there more evil ones? Why does he seem to be the only one? In book 8 there are a bunch of different species saying that they're from all over and could be a galaxy or two away. But Ikol seems to be the only voice in these galaxies, being able to connect to all the stonekeepers. So where are the other voices, how far away are they, can they talk to the other stonekeepers or can only one voice talk to a stonekeepers?
So many questions and theories. I hope book 9 answers a few at least
If not I hope this rewrite can answer these questions
A question for my fellow Amulet fans:
What are subjects or concepts you wish were explored and delved deeper into in the books? What concepts or ideas do you think weren’t necessary, or shouldn’t have been as explored? As I am doing my rewrite I am considering shaving down the side-plot of Navin being a commander and all his mech-suit shenanigans down to a minimum. It may be my personal bias for fantasy over mecha ad sci-fi talking, but the side-plot for Navin never intrigued me nearly as much as the main plot with Emily, Trellis, and Vigo.
Thoughts?
I wish we could have had more world building, especially with old Emily. They just mention she's like the most powerful stonekeepers and that she has a son???
Please book 9, please tie up some loose end
If I had the ability I'd make an animated adaption of the Amulet series, albeit with some new stuff added for context and better world+character building and some old stuff removed because god damn it I'm sorry but I hate the part where Emily's FUTURE SELF WHICH JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HELPS HER INSTEAD OF TRELLIS. It makes me want to drop myself into the void. Like, there's so many potential and cool ideas in this comic that either gets written poorly or abandoned in the end. But then again there's a chance I'd butcher the entire plot so badly it'll look a mutilated chew toy so I should probably not take any chances for now
So yesterday I finally read the first two books on Amulet (thanks to a friend who gave them to me for my birthday). So I've drawn Emily and Trellis so far (it's really hard to draw armor lol)
