Part 3 (why SPK is a good show for Arjuna fan's & anti karnian's).

Hopefully this's the last post i will make regarding SPK unless i try to compare it with star plus's fake bharat show.
Intro - in order for anything to qualify as a point for why this was a good show for karna haters and arjun fans would be if that point is a anti karna, anti bhishma or a pro pandav point.
=
Reason 11;
In Episode 44 of the show a kid/child Sahadeva was introduced, the youngest pandava brother. Gandhar king Sakuni literally said that seeing Sahadeva carry an axe reminds everyone of Parshuram so vishnu avtaar bhagvan parshurama was equal to child Sahadeva before the madri putra was trained by Kripa, Drona etc.

Basically the show gave the pandavas extra power and made all of them more impressive compared to their counterparts in other tv serials. Also equating parshuram to BACHA SAHADEV means that the writers have downplayed the power of bhishma considering his best achievement (defeating parshuram) is now unimportant due to sahadev being considered a 2nd Parshurama.
Reason 12:
Point being accurate is that this tv serial did not show the digvijay conquest of karna in its fullest or in a elaborate manner at all. Because what they did is only focus on the invasion of panchal and a inconclusive skirmish with dwaraka besides those two battles not a single war had been shown in episodes which were supposed to be about karna's digvijay so another let down for fans of karna. Even later on this conquest was deemed irrelevant by characters in the tv serial itself.
=
Reason 13; The character of Vikarna was only shown once when he was a child, when Duryodhan fought a tiger/jaguar or lion as a kid. This's a good thing because Vikarna was not shown later on during the Dyooth Sabha Parva incident, meaning he is not shown protesting the disrobing/abuse of Droupadi, the reason why that is good is because then Bheem killing all kaurava brother's and sparing none can be justified as the audience/viewers will believe not even one kaurav brother choose to help the pandavas in distress.

So Bheem [ketan karande] can't be considered or called or labelled an evil soul/being now.
=
14th reason; is that Gautam's Karna opposes Duryodhan each time instead of siding with him, its like he basically always thought the pandavas were a positive group and the kauravas were negative.
In the 6:42 mark of this episode Karna (Gautam Rode) began opposing the conspiracy of giving the pandavas a barren land like khandava.
=
15th reason is that Gautam Rode's Karna was not a man of his word, he wasn't honest, his integrity is unreliable.
First at 19:24 he said that on the next arrow their will be samb's head but in 19:48 he holds himself back basically choosing to not go along with a threat he himself made, proving that he was a liar.
=
REASON 16 Karna lost other times too this's ignoring any fight he had with arjuna or abhimanyu.

Defeat's i have not addressed yet:
1 - Madhyam (character of Rumi Khan).
At the 0:56 mark child karna bows down to this character's threat and chooses to touch his feet even asking for the donation of permission (anumati patrah) so he can leave the territory. Despite the fact he cut off karna's uncles hand.
2 - Bhisma (during shona's arrest).
It is from episode number 61.
3 - Bhishma again (during shona's death).
4 - Jarasandha (in episode 125).
Even when Karna start's fighting back then bhagwan Jarasandha was the one who had the upper hand.
To see how the last laugh belonged to bhagvan Jarasandh.
=
5 - He bows down to his own son Vrishasena (episode 192).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQLaxLVFzow Instead of fighting him karna just gave up. At the 16:19 mark of this episode duryodhan saw the dropped weapon/bow and asked karna if he was okay (implying that he believes karna is in danger).

6 - Was defeated by Ghatotkaca even though the demon exerted his power on others (episode 268).
If it had not been for my man duryodhan (shaleen bhanot) of course gautam rode (karna) would be squashed like a bug by Ghatotkaca's foot.
=
7 - Did not protect Duhsasan the brave brother of Duryodhan (episode's 275 & 276). Technically karna did not lose a fight here but clearly karna choose inaction, as a general he failed, he was supposed to protect the kaurava prince and choose to do nothing in this case.

8 - His fight with Ghatotkaca in the wedding of Abhimanyu;
Ghatu hit's karna more times than he hit back.
=
9th - Episode 221.
After barbareek begins destroying the kauravas then they will be inferior in ability/strength compared to the pandava's, that means despite the presence of karna & bhishma they would be weaker than the pandavas.
Explaining the chronology cause the scene of barbareeks character occurs before bhishma chooses to ban karna from participating in the war. So karna being at bhishma's side made accurate sense.

{edit 4:29 AM Dec 5th 2024}
Also another incident which escaped my keen eyeballs is this below;
Of course gautam rode is playing karna's role here & he will not fight his friend (suyodhana) but still he had kavach kundala here, but was beaten by Duryodhan.
It is a embarassment even if its on purpose. And consider how duryodhan was repeatedly punked out by ghatotkatch, droopad, bheem in this very same tv serial.
{edit is complete}

REASON 17;
According to this TV SERIAL Arjuna was better than Karna when it came to courting woman, females & girl's. Arjuna didn't have just Droupadi, he also had 3 other lovers.

One was Urvashi and the other is Malini (a yakshini) from episode 155 of the tv show. Subhadra is mentioned but not shown on screen. Karna only had 2 (Supriya/Vrushali) but Arjuna had 4.

This tv serial also gave arjuna's character a weapon called "Vaishnav Astra" in his arsenal during episode 159.
=
REASON 18
How it (the-show) did a disservice and injustice to karna is that it did not cover his life accurately at all, the following point's prove my claim perfectly.

The friendship of Jarasandha & Karna was absent/ignored in the show.
KMG {quote}
"The ruler of Magadha, having by conciliation and honours obtained Karna for a friend, had challenged all the Kshatriyas of the world, except the Kauravas and the Yadavas, to battle."
{end}
Logic - they were supposed to be close friends but karna's friendship with him was not shown.

Countering any possible arguments of karnians:
Their claim "jarasandha became friends with karna after their fight in anga desh"
My reply - Actually it was made clear in the ending of their fight in the episode that Karna/Jarasandha only considered eachother allies, though Karna did respect him according to the SHOW he did not view jarasandha as a true friend he just considered him a neighbhor that he has to be nice too.

Like karna (GAUTAM RODE) often spent a lot of screen time in hastinapur the fact is he never once visited magadh except in two episodes (125 and 126). And even then it was only cause duryodhan sent him their to make another alliance with Jarasandha.

Yes their is a episode where Jarasandha himself arrives to ANGA for attending karna's wedding but even then it was not a friendly gesture to participate in his friend's happiness instead it was to convince karna to side with him in a war against Krishna.

And then once the war does happen Karna remained a mute spectator and after Jarasandha lost he said "who can hope to defeat the side which has you vasudev/natwar?" he does not back jarasandha up or take the side of a friend. When according to KMG mahabharat they were supposed to be friend's.

This incident works even more against Karna because he failed to keep a promise, if it was Bhishma in a tv serial then the actor presenting him would have taken his promises more seriously he would be shown more respect unlike karna in this show.

I DONT THINK theirs another argument that could be brought up by the karna bhakts regarding this matter but its clear that the jarasandha/karna friendship did not get any relevant coverage in this show but they can give KUNTI 100 scenes with karna because the actress might have a crush on Gautam Rode.

So they show the kunti x karna relationship more but dont focus on the RADHA/KARNA relationship cause the low caste suta woman is not important only the high caste, white washed, kshatriya female (kunti) matter's for the director/script-writer (who claims to be a fan of karna).

The tv serial focused more on DRAUPADI but not on the 2 wives of Karna.
=
Even though starplus mahabharat sucked they had one minor excuse to never show karna in the land of anga desha. Their excuse was that after the division of hastinapur and before the death of Jarasandha basically Karna was no longer king. He gave up his crown to the feet of Duryodhana in one episode and said he wanted to be a ordinary citizen from now on (then he chooses to accept anga's crown again as a part of a conspiracy).

But in the SPK tv serial they never show karna in anga desh besides a couple scenes before the character of krishna entered in the show, basically after lakshagraha they stop showing karna in anga desh. That means that spk failed in where starplus succeeded.

FINALLLY as mentioned before his digvijay campaign was not shown well at all.
Dhritrashtra in 5:56 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yejw6LzOo7g&t=116s Dhritrashtra told the kauravas and karna that arjun gained the answer to the power/army that karna amassed from the digvijay in just one weapon pashupatastra].

Duryodhan's statements in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZvl0FA9wuo At 13:51 he said each peaceful agreement would be broken by the kingdoms that karna won. So the digvijaya had zero impact in the fictional universe of SPK.
