Which villain WASN'T a bumhug of some sort at the end of the series?

The Crimson King was a senile old man throwing Harry Potter weapons, and Mordred nearly died from crapping himself.

Flagg's death was pretty embarrassing, but nothing says "pathetic fool" like Mordred suffering massive bouts of diarrhea after he ate the rotten horse. After all, Flagg started out as a simple...

This was all Marten/Walter before Flagg was introduced into the series. Again, I am *not* referring to the characters that were absorbed into Flagg at a later point. I am referring to the character...

He's not so much as undecided as he is strongly suspicious that Walter laid a fake skeleton in his place to fool him. King would have been much better off rephrasing it to make it look ambigous to...

It's exactly like what George Lucas did, right down to Allie asking Roland to shoot her instead of Greedo shooting first.

It doesn't, really. If you read the Revised and then the next three books, there's a lot of jarring stuff that doesn't fit.

For example, at the end of the Revised Gunslinger, Roland A.) Knows that...

Probably this picture Boehmke did:

No specific reason, it just looks very cool.

The Stand probably takes place before Book III, given his references to Trashcan Man.

Did you even read my initial post?:panic:

In the beginning of the series WALTER and MARTEN are two seperate characters unrelated to Flagg. It was only until the fourth book in the series that...

I think the real answer is that King had a much different view of Flagg when he wrote The Stand. In The Stand, he was a demon in league with Satan and has memories of being kicked by Jesus into a...

That could be applied to almost any character, though. (And Flagg didn't do much either, but that's another argument for another day...:orely:)

Can someone please explain me why Walter was brought back from the dead and merged into the Flagg trifecta when he did nothing of importance after his 'death'? Because it wouldn't have made any real...

Actually, because of Flagg, I have a fair amount of sympathy for the Devil, at least in literature. Mephistopheles from the Faust stories in particular.

And, EEEEEEEE!!! 100th post in the thread...

What was so confusing?

He did the Walter change when he was writing the final three books, and at that time, he did appear to have some sort of bigger plan. And he revised the Gunslinger to include the change *after* he...

well put, and flagg should have been afforded the same respect by king as he is one of king's greatest creations. he deserved a better role in the magnum opus.[/QUOTE]

That's no how things work....

Hannibal Lecter's one of my favorite characters, but I wouldn't like it if he appeared in a series, was in one chapter for each of the books, and was killed in off a half-assed fashion.

So if the first chapter of DT7 was "Roland finished his shower. He reached for his towel and slipped, his head hitting the cold floor. 'Dammit!' He said. Blood pooled from his head. Roland was dead.'...

My point is that Flagg did nothing of importance in the series. His death was a slap in the face to Flagg's fans. All he had was a series of cameo appearences that lead to fodder for the emo spider...
