Well Yas Forums

People went to Flagg because they were afraid of defying him and/or were shitty people repulsed by Mother Abigail. When Trashcan Man dreams of Mother Abigail it is a nightmare where he is one of the rats in the corn. As well, in many of Flagg's dreams to entice people to follow him he promises them things they want. On top of that, Flagg gets Vegas cleaned up, powered, watered, and running a ways before Boulder ever gets its act together. So a lot of people go there for the convenience.

Something I would have liked to see more of in the book is the "Bad" character's dreams. Harold dreams of both Abigail and Flagg, but the only dream of his that gets described on text is a premonition about his death.

>Or maybe King just wanted to blow up people he didn't like, idk. The man is surprisingly preachy sometimes.
Well it's odd. Vegas is actually given little coverage on page in the book, even in the extended version. When we finally do go there King goes out of his way to portray most of the people there as sympathetic, but frightened away from defying Flagg. He starts to introduce and develop all these characters... but then kills them all off a few chapters later. The last time I read the book I had this feeling that maybe originally King intended the book to be a LOT longer, but cut it down in the last act. There are all these visions in the book of Flagg raising an army and burning his way across the US, flattening Boulder. I wonder if originally that was supposed to happen and Flagg's death/expulsion wouldn't come until after that.

S-N-E-E-D that spells Sneed

the HD remaster of this was fucking ace
they fixed the framerate of the special effects shots to actually match the film footage and the effects actually look damn good for an early 90s TV series

I'd never heard of the extended uncut book until I looked it up recently. Is it a mess of 'directors cut' added/changed nonsense or is it a better version?

Not only does The Stand always get recommended over it, but we donr even get the real life scenario. No nukes, just coofing.

literally a based retard

I’ll have to think about the direction and wonder why I haven’t before

You should re-read the book. Flagg is consumed by a burning desire to destroy everything around him, which is always his undoing because he builds a tower of weapons that ends up faltering and collapsing on itself due to factors that he had been blind to or otherwise disregarded.

Yeah, I agree with that, but I also see in an avenue for the story to have been continued for at least one more "book" before reaching a conclusion. The same effect in the end, but it drawn out more, consuming Flagg at the height of his power and giving the Vegas characters more of a chance to develop and grow.

Yeah I'd be down for that

Honestly the worst thing about DT7 was how the did my boy Walter so dirty. Went out like chump just to job for the Crimson Prince.

Definitely wouldn't mind a whole story just about Flagg kicking around.

Women aren't cookies user

Harold had some top-tier fetishes though

He got the goth big tiddy gf too

Only in the mouth and butt though

To find Vegas without gps, just follow the hundreds of people crucified on telephone poles.

I'd like to think I'd join Mother Abigail but like Harold I'm a fucking loser and no one likes me. So I'd wind up at Vegas sitting alone in my room where all the shitty people and hedonists are out, terrified of Flagg's wrath.

I bet you faggots have never read the original 1978 edition before King went full retard and added hundreds of pages of nonsense back into it.

Its America there are weapons everywhere

I don’t get why people disliked the ending I thought it was cool

>goes back and adds 50s greasers getting gay handjobs
ahhh that's better

I watched this last fall on Jewtube while I was waiting for a plumber to show up who never came.

GOTTDAMN that chick who played Nadine got me frisky. I had to unironically COOM

There was once a noble, valiant, Coors-loving man who thought as you did.

But did you ever get your plumbing fixed?

Read it in grade school in the late 80s, nerd.

Oh I got the plumbing to work alright
My COOM plumbing xD

>I did actually but I had to take a second day off work.

Harold is like the best depiction of the Yas Forums male of all time. Prophetic, really.

why do people dislike the ending I thought it was cool

People liked Harold.

He literally became an Alpha Chad HERO with a badass nickname but he was too up his own ass to realize it.

Don’t be like Harold. Give yourself a chance.

The people at Vegas started to desert Flagg when he went crazy.

Vegas had the fifteen year old slut who fucked the deaf guy within ten minutes of meeting him.

Colorado probably has all women of character plus Nadine

That's enough

Got eaten by a baby spider whilst wearing a clockwork tin helmet. The baby spider then ate something rotten and was on the verge of death before even meeting Roland. So fucking stupid.

I will never not be mad at the final DT book.

US-Russia nuclear war would be a hell of a lot more exciting, especially if we get miles-high radioactive tornadoes of fire able to throw Greyhound buses at airplanes

>implying any of us would survive the initial outbreak

SO what is this movie about? Just a bunch of people surviving in a house or some shit? Sounds comfy

Here’s a suggestion
Similar in various respects (nuclear war instead of a virus causes the apocalypse), and the Flagg expy does exactly that

World is decimated by a plague. The survivors then get drawn to rebuilding society either with mother Abigail (chosen by god) or Randall Flagg (chosen by the Crimson King).

The opposite side of this fucking weirdo, hate even looking at him.
