Amanda started out as pretty one note, I must say I love all her development and growth (thats true of all the characters though). Dave, I owe you steak, or your vice of choice sometime as a thank you just for your creativity and talent alone.
So is Grandma saying “adults don’t understand it” because she doesn’t know Pohl is teaching them, or is she unconsciously saying “*humans* don’t understand it”?
or even “*people* don’t understand it”? Prejudice doesn’t always wear a white hood. Maybe I’m just reading too much into it. But the fishermen who caught that first Sarnothi man by accident sure didn’t consider him to be a person.
That’s not what Grandma is talking about. Pohl understands “Echo Stuff” just fine, and his lessons are equally applicable to Selkie and Amanda. So, yes, Echo Resonance IS understood by adults, just not Grandma, Grandpa, or any of their Human friends and family.
A driving instructor can’t necessarily explain exactly *how* an internal combustion engine converts explosions into motive power, but they *can* teach you how to operate an automobile correctly and safely.
I’m not implying Grandma is bad. I just think she is showing an unconscious bias, and still has some development to do. Which also makes her less of a one-note character.
Amanda may think she has “Main Character Energy”, but her mom’s the one with the Main Character hair.
and right as amanda said that five other humans just had their eyes start glowing.
That’s what I was about to say: finding out about other human echoes in 3, 2, 1…
Yea, fairly sure if it happens once, it can happen again.
Yeah, that’s grandma code for “**I** want you to stop but I know I can’t actually ask that”.
You know? Fair enough grandma. You’re trying.

That just sounds so very Goku like…

All these years later, I’m *still* not over what those fishermen did to Behn. Genuinely turns my stomach to think about.
Agent Brown’s adopted son “Benny” is Behn Junior. That boggles me sometimes, too.
His birth name was Voh. But yes to the point that he’s Behn’s orphaned son.
Even Pohl doesn’t understand why Amanda, specifically, has those powers.

Besides, the Sarnothi don’t even know why their *own* Echoes are Echoes.
