I think in the original epic Kunti did stay back only until Pandavs setup palace and kingdom.

it would been hard for her at old age...

here there is another twist...

Nivi - Yuddhi got KP out of this Balidaan of GPB. 🤣 It doesn't seem like much at this point. But, later it leaves HP in the dust. How King Devil justifies keeping Kunti I can't wait to see... most likely that she is old king's wife and too old to travel? Not to old to kill of course!

Long run mein it is a lot. But, as of today, Yudi was happy with taking Shakti with him and not Sampati. But, now he is getting neither. Am feeling very bad for GPB... Meany Dhriti.

They are again trying to come up with their own version of why the kingdom had to be split in two, except, as usual, it makes no sense. Yudisthir was the yuvraaj, so what prevents him from still being one? Okay maybe it's the 'sin' of polyandry that he committed that comes in the way of his being a contender for the throne. So that means that he gets only a portion of the kingdom? A prince's claim to the throne gets reduced proportionately to the number of 'sins' he has committed! Where is this logic coming from? And what makes Duryodhan next in line for the throne after Yudisthir? I mean why not Bheem? As far as I know, both were of the same age. Instead of all the drama I would have appreciated mention of some 'rules' for succession to the throne and not such arbitrary decision making. I am not even citing the real MB over here, but they are seriously going by some flawed fabricated logic of their own.

If you want to make changes to the epic, atleast make sure that they make sense. You can tell that the makers are doing this on purpose to come up with 'something new', while throwing logic out of the window.

Hmm ... it was an odd episode today. I understand what they are trying to achieve (a logical explanation for why Bhishma stayed with Dhriti), but the way they present it was highly illogical. For example, Dhriti asked Bhishma to stick with him and his sons ... Bhishma promised Dhriti that as long as he is king he will obey every single order he gives...
for someone as smart as Bhishma, they really twisted his character to look pretty stupid (no offense).

But the precap made me laugh the most ... Dhriti wanted to keep Kunti in Hastinapur... which I sort of understand... If Kunti remains in Hastinapur, Yuddhi wouldn't dare attack it since their mom is essentially a "hostage" there. Logical goal, illogical presentation...

I agree with you, they showed the otherwise dharma brandishing Bhishma (as they have portrayed him so far in Starbharat) as completely loosing his mind this time. Dhritarashtra has already foreseen the possibility of Yudisthir waging war with Hastinapur owing to the 'adharmic' Duryodhan and conveyed this to Bhishma. Bhishma pretty well knows by now that the strength of HP in war depends on him, and yet he agrees to stay in HP, which made Duryodhan confident enough of victory to declare war later. And yet Bhishma chooses to conveniently ignore this future possibility.

Had Bhishma insisted on going with the Pandavas to KP, Duryodhan would have thought twice before going to war at Kurukshetra which might have possibly even averted the war.

Heck, Bhishma does not even request time to think over what he is promising, or having a discussion with the Pandavas before he gets into this mess.

Why can't they just stick to the original instead of coming up with something so convoluted?

And there is a difference between agreeing to stay back in Hastinapur and agreeing to submit to the king with the promise of not disobeying him. if I have got this right, why would Starbharat's Bhishma agree to the latter, knowing fully well that he might have to obey orders that stray far away from dharma?!

exactly. All Bhishma needed to say was "Okay putra Dhriti, I will stay in Hastinapura with you and your sons as the city guardian. However, if you or your sons step out of line (heck to make it more "easy" for Dhriti and his family - if you or your sons continuously step out of line to destroy the Kuru name) I will leave immediately"

But nooo... SP makes him say something totally unrelated and not what Dhriti was even asking. To quote Dhriti -- he said that he would lose two things .. I forget the first one (was it land?) and the second power. He then said that if Yuddhi gets (a), then I get the power, or vice versa -- Yuddhi gets you, and I get (a) ..

(SIDE NOTE: I don't think Dhriti was that mean to tell Bhishma to I would prefer some (a) over you... I mean sure Dhriti was over the top with his sons, but that only interfered with the Pandavas... I don't remember reading a part where Dhriti was like sons > Bhishma (correct me if I am wrong.. it's been a while))

All Dhriti wanted was power because the build up of that episode was such that Bhishma basically controlled the army, and his powers overruled the army in that one case...

I can tolerate the distortions of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. But distorting Draupadi, Kunti, Krishna, Balarama, or Bhishma = a big NO in my book.

For the first time, I'm seriously sick of this show. I make a lot of jokes and make fun of their distortions, but this time they took it too far...

Agreed with all of you! They made Bhishma look like a fool. I tolerated everything but I'm in no mood to bear such a ridiculous characterization of Bhishma.
