Remember too that this is the same guy who saw a desolate, bereft boy who had lost his soulmate, and told him to fuck off and deal. And who stood by and let one of his students mercilessly bully the other.
Either Oromis is super out of touch, or he's completely without empathy. (If Brisingr wasn't so boring, I would read their death scene over and over again). Or, after centuries of teaching, he got worse and worse, and started to lose his touch.
Hell yeah. The over-powered character who just bruteforces his way to victory the way Eragon does is BORING. Not to mention impossible to relate to. Unless you too are an arrogant bully with superpowers, I suppose...
Yeah. That's a big problem with a lot of shows and long running series. Like in a zombie series (the Walking Dead, for example), people eventually get better at stuff, so they'll solve their problems easily. A good way to solve this is to increase the threat level. (Even though Galby was supposedly all powerful in the IC, he really never even won anything.) For example, Attack on Titan had the first problem (humans are trying to battle against these large giants called titans, who eat them), and then, when they figure that out, another enemy comes in, and when they figure that out, there's a problem that strikes them where it hurts.
