Thread: NYR doesnt know how to develop prospects
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MauriceRichard1028</b></div><div>Assuming you're talking about development of prospects in the last 5 years (since the Rangers rebuild began) - Mikheyev, Liljegren, Bracco, Johnsson, Kapanen, and Gauthier would all like to have a word with you.</div></div>

You can add Dermott, Sandin, Robertson to that list as well. Pretty sure Fox, Miller, Chytil, kreider, shesty, Buch have been developed in an excellent way. Laf and Kakko played minimal minutes on a 3rd line up until now and shortened seasons so your jumping the gun since they actually play well but haven’t been getting the 1PP time for scoring. You can also add strome, Zibby and bread to that list since they all have hit new heights since coming to NYR.. Lias who throws away silver medals couldn’t be developed, Kravs is heading in the wrong direction as well but has the potential. Nils is coming along just fine.

I didn’t like it as much as Riordan’s other books but I think that’s mostly because I just like Greek/Roman mythology more and know more about it than Norse mythology, which I think is a pretty common sentiment. It was also less focused on straight white characters, which makes it slightly less relatable to the majority of people (admittedly myself included), but at the same time important for those minorities represented. Been a while since I read it but I’m pretty sure that Magnus Chase was homeless and bi or pan, was dating someone genderfluid, and there was a Muslim valkyrie. Not necessarily the easiest characters for the majority of people to relate to based on their circumstances. Still a pretty good series though, but I’m a fan of Riordan’s writing in general, I think his world building and character development is usually pretty solid.</div></div>

Don't hijack a series to advance your agenda. Come up with a new one

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>The fact that this is considered “woke” is exactly why it needs to happen. Being bisexual is becoming a more normal thing in general society, and people need to see representation in aspects of life such as movies, sports, etc. to help them feel accepted. Same reason Crazy Rich Asians and Black Panther were such a big deal, but for different minority groups obviously. Same reason Luke Prokop’s story is such a big deal. It is slightly “pandering” (for lack of a better word), but better that a revisionist history kinda deal happens than nothing at all. It would be best to see characters be written as members of the LGBTQ+ community from the start, particularly (imo) if they struggle with their gender/sexual identity for a time, which is very relatable for people in that position. Personally I’d love to see the Magnus Chase trilogy made into a movie/TV series, partially for this reason (as long as its done by literally anyone except the people who made the Lightning Thief movies lol).</div></div>

I’m sorry but if you want to have a bisexual character, CREATE one, don’t turn a beloved straight icon into a bisexual character
