Mahabharat Episode Discussion Thread # 14 - Page 107

After thinking about the episode, I realized what they showed seems to be a modern day POV ... All any of us could do if someone barged into our house and had a child at gunpoint would be to beg and plead on our knees (despite many of us protesting that we would go on the offense). There might be a brave soul ready to take a bullet in an attempt to save the child, but I would guess the vast majority of the population would do exactly what the StarPandavas did.

Now, I'm not sure if this was some sort of hidden message from the CVs or they lost their minds ... but turning 4 kshatriyas into modern day cowards, heck they even turned the StarKauravas into cowards by changing the entire point of that day's war into a torture contest of a youngster. Sigh ...

and as shown in sbs karna declares when abhi like warrier assassinates its also sunset😭😭 so he cant wait actual sunset

Do the CVs not visit pages of various social networking sites?

Amrita I agree on most of your points dear but if this is whitewashing of karna then i really wish they had tainted him black coz from what i can see- Karna is one confused soul who cant make up his mind on things- Ofcourse he had these silent battles within himself.. But that doesnt mean that He would see Kunti in midst of Warfield reminding him of his nephew and his blood... What they are showing here- this man who is known to keep his words ..who fought for his friend against his own brothers..his own kin .. just getting cold feet and had to be specifically "reminded" of his kartavya... Well thats definately not white washing a character. thats not karna.. He wasnt this weak.. On Battlefield he was fire ..like someone said here before too if he had so much problems with dury...then probably CVs would have shown him joining pandavas..I would not have mind that much...- As you said they snatched his actual real conversation with Krishna which actually is one of his actual glory from the epic.

I think Creatives are just trying to add too many emotions into these episodes and thus Over of anything just makes it look ridiculously funny... it is not impactful at all...

for example- how many times did Krishna and Draupadi had same conversation of War outcome? And I am sure it will be repeated in future too...

agree with both amrita and ritu

the problem here is CV's don't realize which are a character's true glorious moments and which are their true mistakes.So they keep interchanging the moments and confusing them and end up demeaning the characters where they actually require glory and white washing them where is not required

at end of the day who is happy are arjuna,karna or drauapdi fans happy with these distortions no none of them are

And regarding kauravas i really have loads of sympathy for them now because they are unnecessarily being villianized because CV's dont want to show any of panadavs including jeshtest karna making any mistakes

even in abhimanyu vadh the whole point of showing the vadh to be pre planned is because they dont want to show abhimanyu dying to save yudi.They dont want to show that yudi to save himself had sent a young boy with half knowledge into chakravayu so kauravas have to take the entire blame and hence the whole thing has to be pre planned thing of killing abhimanyu

the same thing they had done earlier during dyut sabha when they showed that yudi staked everything because he was forced due to some silly rules made by kauaravs which is not true kauaravs in no way forced yudi to stake anything he did whatever he did out of his own wish

Poor dury also has to take the blame of pre planning VH since they dont want to show karna's involvement in this

Blackwashing of kauravs is really getting irritating now

once earlier we had joked about how kunti has paid CV;s heavily for WWing of her and her sons.Seems true now may be gandhari should have followed the suit as well

Agreed Sabhayata.

And yes, the Pandavas have been whitewashed too.

Yudisthir was shown participating in Keechak's plot, whereas in the epic, he asked Draupadi to endure everything, so that they are not exposed.

What kind of a husband says that? Especially, after that dice-game debacle.

The CVs did not have to put in their own opinion, in EVERY, important event.

Yudhishtir's case is the same as rest of his brother's where he actually deserved appreciation like the lakshgarah track where it was his intelligence,strategy and political astuteness that saves pandvas(along with vidur's) it was given away to arjuna

and where he actually deserved to be rebuked like keechaka track he was shown wanting to kill keechka

he is the in the same boat as his other two brother's karna and arjuna

i will not include Bhima in this.He has never been over glorified in any way infact most of his glory has always been taken away and distributed between his brother's

Nice to see people acknowledging the blatant distortions that is this serial. Instead of the field of action, Kurukshetra has become the field for a cry-fest where there is minimal action and far too many emotions running hither and tither. Its as if cvs are searching for excuses to inject more emotional drama, as if some characters were in shortage of sobbing esp. those that seem to always be steeped in tears even pre-war, as a matter of fact the whole epic has become an excuse for the self-delusional cvs to use the characters in such a manner so to beg for our pity, as they cry like a baby for our attention. Certainly this has been the superior form of expression of almost every major character that has been subjected to the ignoramus minds of the cvs. Granted sadness afflicted the characters but the excess sentimentalism that cloaks all the main characters makes me want to shake them from their pathetic self-pitying indulgent moping mentality.
