The 7 strongest high lords in ‘ACOTAR,’ ranked 

Sarah J. Maas’ high-fantasy book series A Court of Thorns and Roses is a hit on BookTok, but is becoming better known by for its steamy scenes than its plot. Yes, there’s plenty of “spice” if you’re into that, but let’s not discount the great world and characters Maas has built. 

Not every book in the ACOTAR series is equal in quality, but the world-building and characters remain just as interesting throughout. Take the Faerie realm Prythian for example: directly north of the Mortal Lands Feyre once called home, Prythian is separated into seven distinct courts. There are four seasonal courts (Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring) and three solar courts (Day, Night, and Dawn). Each has its own rich history, culture, complex political climates, and of course, High Lord.

The High Lord (and High Lady, in the Night Court) is the ruler of their respective court and is typically the most powerful High Fae in the region. Like a traditional monarchy, the position is passed down through the High Lord’s male bloodline but the first-born son won’t necessarily inherit the title, but the strongest. Naturally, this leads to a lot of competition and back-stabbing among the High Lord’s sons as they try to prove their worth — or eliminate the others.

The current High Lords are a tough bunch but that doesn’t mean they’re evenly matched. Even out of the most powerful High Fae, one High Lord reigns supreme as the strongest. Here are all 7 high lords, ranked by strength. 

7. Tarquin

Tarquin is the High Lord of the Summer Court and the youngest of the current High Lords. He’s not weak by any means but his youth does mean he’s a little less experienced than the others, especially as he became High Lord while living Under the Mountain. Like the rest of the High Fae, his powers were limited while Amarantha was in control. Tarquin only gained his full abilities since Feyre defeated Amarantha, which is probably why Hybern invaded the Summer Court relatively easily. Give him a few decades and Tarquin will be up there with the best of them.

6. Kalias

We don’t know a lot about Kalias, the High Lord of the Winter Court. He has the ability to create and manipulate ice, a power he’s given to Feyre. He helped protect his court during the war, so we do know he can hold his own in a fight. With so little to go off on, he’s not an easy one to rank. 

5. Thesan

Thesan is the High Lord of the Dawn Court and has the ability to heal others. It might not be very flashy, but healing is no joke; ask any Dungeons & Dragons players without a cleric in their campaign.

4. Beron

As much as we hate him, Beron, the High Lord of the Autumn Court, is likely a very powerful High Lord. He’s long-lived despite fathering several sons who’d love to usurp his throne and he’s made enemies in basically every court; he has to have a lot of power to back up all that audacity.

3. Helion

Helion, the High Lord of the Day Court, is definitely one of the strongest High Lords in ACOTAR. His power is a healing light that can also break through enchantments and magic wards. Having both offensive and defensive power gives him an edge over his fellow High Lords.

We also know his beast form is described as the light version of Rhysand’s so it’s got to be incredibly strong. If all that wasn’t enough, the Day Court is also home to thousands of libraries documenting Prythian knowledge for centuries. This dude knows things.

2. Tamlin

I know, I know; we hate Tamlin. That doesn’t mean the High Lord of the Spring Court isn’t super powerful. He could even rival the top spot if he had some discipline and truly worked to understand his powers. For now, just his raw strength alone has him coming in at number two on this list.

Rhysand once said a fight between him and Tamlin would prove particularly destructive, and I believe him. Tamlin might be a mess but a weakling, he isn’t.

1. Rhysand

Was there any doubt? Rhysand, the High Lord of the Night Court, is frequently described as the most powerful High Lord in all of history, which is saying something. He rules over not one but two courts and he’s half-High Fae and half-Ilyrian, a Fae race known for their strength. Rhysand’s almost comically powerful (he can reduce enemies into a cloud of bloody mist by just looking at them) and he’s a trained warrior.

He’s on another level compared to the other High Lords but we think Feyre could compete for the title if we extend the list to High Ladies…

Is Dhruv Vikram’s Bison Based on a True Story?

After appearing in Mahaan, actor Dhruv Vikram is all set to return to theaters with his upcoming film, Bison. Makers have recently announced the film, sparking numerous speculations, with some believing it to be based on a biopic. However, the film’s director recently addressed these rumors.

Directed by Mari Selvaraj, the film’s first look has received a positive response from netizens eagerly awaiting its release. The upcoming movie will feature a cast including Anupama Parameswaran, Rajisha Vijayan, Lal, Pasupathy, Kalaiyarasan, Hari Krishnan, and others.

Notably, Mari changed crew for Bison’s filming and welcomed Nivas K Prasanna as the music composer. When Mari Selvaraj was asked about this change, he stated, “The script demanded fresh treatment, which is why I wanted to go with a completely new team.” Additionally, Mari Selvaraj highlighted that Bison marks his first collaboration with cinematographer Ezhil Arasu K and editor Sakthikumar.

Bison is a fictional film, not a biopic?

Earlier reports suggested that Bison would feature a biopic of the life of a Tamil Nadu Kabaddi player, Manathi Ganesan. Last year, director Mari confirmed this, stating, “He is an Arjuna Awardee and a very close relative. I always wanted to feature his story.”

However, director Mari debunked biopic rumors in recent discussions with the Times of India. He stated, “This film will revolve around kabaddi, but contrary to reports, it is not a biopic. But a fictional one. We will shoot a 60-day schedule in Tirunelveli, then move to Chennai for the remaining portions.” Thus, the director confirmed that Dhruv Vikram’s upcoming film will not depict the life of any sports player but rather offer a fictional narrative.

Aside from this project, Dhruv Vikram was last seen in the film Mahaan, where he starred alongside his father, Chiyaan Vikram. The action thriller flick was directed by Karthik Subbaraj and produced under the Seven Screen Studio banners.

The film’s release date announcement is still awaited as the makers have just begun shooting. Stay tuned for more updates related to Bison.

Who does Jeffrey Dean Morgan play in ‘The Boys’ Season 4?

The highly anticipated fourth season of The Boys debuts on Amazon Prime Video on June 13, 2024. The critically acclaimed satirical superhero show released its last episode nearly two years ago, so fans are understandably getting impatient for more ultraviolent superhero action.

Excitingly, the brilliant Jeffrey Dean Morgan — The Walking Dead’s Negan himself — will appear in the new season. The recent teaser for it showed his character warmly greeting Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher, suggesting the pair are past acquaintances.

Morgan is as excited as the show’s fans. He recently edited himself into some promo art for The Boys and posted the results on X with the humorous accompanying text: “Art is done for season 4. Good work, folks. I saved @TheBoysTV some dough.”

But who is Morgan playing in the show?

Who is ‘Monkey’?

The answer is Joe “Monkey” Kessler. In the comic books, Monkey is the name of Howard “Monkey” Kessler, so there’s been a bit of name modification for Morgan’s character, Joe.

The comic book version of the character is a CIA analyst whom Butcher turns to for information in his crusade against Supes. He’s a sexual deviant, a nervous wreck, and a coward who’s scared of everything, and Butcher gave him the nickname “Monkey” after accompanying him to the eccentric Doc Peculiar’s brothel, where green AIDS-infected monkeys molested his ears (isn’t The Boys so wholesome?).

The Boys series regularly deviates from its source material and, in addition to having a different first name to his comic book counterpart, Morgan’s version of Monkey looks like he’ll be a different animal. He looks very corporate and probably serves the same purpose, but his personality is worlds apart. He seems far more confident and has an air of badassery about him that’s typical of Dean Morgan’s performances.

This take on the character appears to be a man Butcher genuinely respects rather than someone he looks down on and takes advantage of. They seem to be on the same level, with Morgan’s Monkey jokingly mocking Butcher for calling his team “The Boys.”
