Feedback to CVs/ Story distortion # 3 - Page 18

in case of Karn, nothing matches with the epic except his name. Shakuni is the main villain here, unlike the real one who wanted peace.

When it comes to character distortion, I think karna and shakuni take the cake

i feel atleast lately in some sequences he has been like epic's karna but yeah overall his character has been highly whitewashed

in my opinion as far as distorted character's go arjuna and shakuni will be the most over glorified character's.Shakuni wasn't nearly as intellegent as shown in SB .Arjuna has been given many fictional heroic scenes

Karna and Yudhistir will be the most whitewashed character's.Karna's role in in VH and other dury's schemes has been not shown at all .Yudhiishtir's true role in both the dice games wasn't shown at all

Bhima's character has been demeaned the most as per me.He is nothing but a comedian for ⭐️Bharat

i would give the cake to all of them

lol.😆..i m not a typical teenage who wld swoon over glamorous dresses...I love them coz these CVs have made them much more human and much more full of heart and soul...they r not mere royal kings and queens with a grandeur that can't be matched, instead they feel like just a guy or a girl next door who has the same doubts and the same emotional conflicts and turmoils as we all do...i find their depiciton in this version of the epic way more honest and sincere and relatable... original or not I choose to believe in this version as it is way more inspiring and soul stirring...at least when it comes to Arjun and Draupadi😃

Actually this 'guy next door' depiction is what makes the portrayal unpalatable. Arjun is no guy-next-door. He was a warrior prince of an ancient kingdom who had pride of his weapons as well as his royal blood, did not weep for his enemies, berated Karna's parentage and swore to kill him from day one, did not bow before women, had no qualms about marrying multiple women etc etc.. You can't depict such a character as any normal college boy. That sort of portrayal may do well for any normal sit-com or rom-com but barely makes sense in an ancient war epic.

As for Draupadi, I think her character is more matriarchal rather than strong. She wields too much political and social power, issues order to her elders on their face, threatens to undo her marriage, bosses around her sycophant husbands, combats Kichaka alongside Bhim etc..Draupadi did berate her elders and husbands, but with sarcasm and disgust provoking their guilt and not from position of authority.

My point is, the CVs have been quite casual with the context and the age in which the story is set.

regarding white washing of characters, well i believe characters on right side .. even pandavas have been whitewashed a lot.. to kind of justify the mistakes they did.. and not to forget that Yudhisthir's role has been reduced so much.. in order to focus more on Arjun's character. Bheem's feats are not shown with importance..and he is reduced to comic sequences... Bheem's character was more than just ladoo eating and giving 2-3 angry looks.. And if people complain that shakuni is made all baddie...I do have complain of making dury look all negative and bad.. there were more layers to even ashwathama's character which they completely missed by portraying him all negative.. As far as Karna's character goes, they took a major chunk away from his feats when they shorten krishna-karna convo.. very conveniently missing out on offer made to karna during that... kind of even tempering with Krishna's intent of going to Karna in first place.. and nothing beats epic whitewashing of Kunti's character👏.. Kunti's character is so much whitewashed that I have started liking her👍🏼

Vidura has been reduced to a mere spectator in Starbharata..! 👎🏼
Sometimes I feel that his presence equals his absence in this serial.

apparently the figures of vidur and bhishma are not regarded nearly as interesting as the others and have thus been sidelined

vidurneeti is completely missing in the serial

during VH he was the only elder who spoke against it but in SB his role was given to ⭐️pandavas who were throwing things and getting angry whereas actually they were quite 90% of time
