So I was sitting there reading the story of how Duryodhana got captured by the gandharvas and thought about Karna and the game of dice. First it would be interesting to put Karna into some sort of double agent role. He still doesn’t like the Pandavas so he would work for the Kauvaras.
My better idea was for a continuation between parts of the Mahabharata. The Pandavas would be represented by Rocky Balboa and get beaten in their first match (dice game) they will have a montage of getting stronger (getting epic weapons) and then, I’m assuming, come back and beat the original boxer, the Kauvaras.
Even thirst wouldn’t be enough to voluntarily kill yourself and these brothers must have been smarter than to not connect the death of the others with the water. My thought is that there must have been a curse or something placed on them which made them so thirsty that they would risk death. Yudhisthira's wisdom comes through again as he didn’t drink the water early. That yaksha just saved him.The trials of Yama and gift from him to Yudhistira make me remember some of the interactions between Percy Jackson and his dad Poseidon.
I love a good bit of irony from the interaction between Uttara and Arjuna, who does a good job of keeping up his disguise. I’m not really sure how this is all going to work out in terms of the exile because Arjuna clearly reveals himself.
Karna's role in the coming battle will be interesting considering it looks like he left the battle. I wonder if he will keep that up.
