re: Ender's Game

*****BOOK SPOILERS*****



To me the movie missed ender's frustration throughout the process. When Dragon faces 2 armies in the battle and he let's bean go through the crazy strategy it's that Ender has given up and doesn't care anymore. Likewise in the final battle, Ender doesn't care if he wins or loses he goes for broke because he's done. The movie doesn't show this at all.

Also Ender was supposed to be the runt of the group, that's what made his brilliance stand out more. He was only intellectually / tactically superior to everyone not physically better. The movie Bonezo fight was stupid because they made Bonezo into a punchline. Bonezo would have towered over Ender hence Ender's tactics of goading Bonezo into a one on one fight, soaping up turning up the steam, etc made him superior to Bonezo.

Kind of hard to believe that they had that base there for years and the whole time a queen wasn't ten miles from them.

I think in the book, he found it on another planet. It's been years, though. I might be wrong.

He found it on the planet that he and valentine founded and which Ender was governor.
