Did they fix the show?
The Wheel of Time season 3
Just oeople who liked the first 2 are left watching now?
fpbp
many such cases
people watch this?
They made a Wheel of Time show?
not anymore
i hope brandon sanderson succeeds in tardwrangling hollywood and actually manages to make a good series based on his books
1 decent episode out of 5 is not fixing the show
I'm still hate watching it, it gets harder every year tho
I'm hatewatching
If you find a cute 20-25 girl who watches who has watched all 3 seasons, marry her, she has a low bodycount guaranteed but lives in a fantasy world. On the Wheel of Time, my eyes are on her 6 and she's a 7.5
i hate watched the first season, cant be bothered with anymore. i'd rather work through my backlog of stuff i actually like
daily reminder that the "user reviews" on RT are curated and "verified" super fans, like the ones they shoved in the fan cage at the ROP premier.
good for you, it just gets worse
I dropped out after s1, and that was before i decided to read the books. Now that i did read them, i think this show is the biggest book rape i had the displeasure of watching.
The only way for anyone to watch this show is be absolutely desperate for fantasy and never have touched the books.
forgot the image
It's marginally better as a tv-show, but as an adaptation it's spiraling more and more out of control with each new episode.
Reminder that this is what the showrunner unironically believes:
Then in season three, there’s this world that we go into. One of the most fully formed cultures in the books is the Aiel, and in the books, they always had this very fascinating idea, which was called First-Sisters. Two women sort of marry each other first and they may have relationships outside of that with men, they may not, but that core relationship in their life was with their first-sister.
And people don’t remember that Elayne and Aviendha spend about 10 to 20 times more page count with the two of them together than either of them ever does with Rand. Their relationship is the central relationship in that three-person relationship in the books. They get married and Aviendha talks about how she holds Elayne in her arms at night and when she doesn’t have her there, it’s like a piece of her is missing.
This retard doesn't understand that the Aiel term first-sister is literally the exact same thing as what sister is to us, only with the added extra that you can adopt someone to be your sister and after that you're treated as if you were blood related sisters. Instead he just straight up claims that first-sisters are "married".
are they even doing Rand, Elayne, Aviendha triangle in the show?
So far Rand has only been banging Egwene and Lanfear. Min was too busy working for Ishamael to even remember Rand exists and hasn't seen him in forever and Elayne and Avi are banging each other.
I guess that's a no ?
Who the fuck even knows at this point. Any hopes of something happening like it happened in the books were thrown out of the window years ago.

I hated the first two seasons.
This season still has some of the bullshit (Los Angeles / London demographics, and Pink washing straight characters to be gay) going on but to be fair to the show thus far this season has been a major improvement and the characters are starting to finally act like the characters from the book.
yeah man, i loved when perrin stood around and watched alanna do everything
do you think the rand, lanfear, moiraine dynamic is more egregiously stupid, or the halo show having master chief get seduced by a covenant spy

What the flying fuck
legalized incest
I don't know anything about Halo lore so I can't really say.
The people who didn't drop it after season 1 are too far gone.
i think a decent chunk of Anon Babble watched season 1, as there were constant threads, multiple after an episode had aired and many book discussions, but it had turned into hate watching pretty early on
i do not have the entire list of all that was aggravating about s1, some notables:
"tales" of multiple ta'veren reached moiraine?? if anyone even knows the concept of ta'veren, this would be utterly hilarious, and tales of multiple in 1 location, simply ridiculous
the dragon reborn - could be a man or a woman... also in heavy contravention to the lore, only inserted so that the showrunner could wank egwene even more
men as a rule, gormless, only useful when in service to women, mat is a thief born to a poor drunk father and has to support his mother and sisters, perrin is a barely sentient giant who is in awe of her decisive wife, rand in the story of wheel of time is also there

wish I still had those webms my laptop crashed between then and now, I lost a lot of good shit. Here's something haven't seen this one posted for years
picrel is the only book of brando that will be adapted in live action
thats retarded the amount of cgi needed for that rivals Avatar
genuinely, why though? spores falling from skies can be treated as a mixture of rain + smog to display effects, give it different colours for the story
re: the ship and the sea, they can always focus on the ship, if depicting the "spore sea" is difficult, though why should that be the case when its just depiction of a static background
are Sandersons non cosmere books worth reading ?
2 reasons
1: because the entire conceit of the story is the different ways the spores act depending on the color, you have remember the set pieces like trapping the ship in the green spores for instance
2: boat movies are already expensive really really expensive and thats just getting a replica into real water, couple that with near constant cgi needed and the cost becomes astronomical
that is cosmere
yeah, what about non cosmere
I liked the reckoners, its very YA but a good concept, decent execution. Basically one day a red star appears and random people maybe 1/100000 people get various super powers the twist is they all basically immediately become psychopaths.
why do you keep posting this? why this book? i just finished the 3 'secret project' cosmere books and nightmare painter would be the easiest to film
the legion books are an interesting concept. schitzo with multiple personalities but each personality is an expert in some field.
frugal wizard is unreadable reddit trash even for Sanderson.
Elantris is pretty good, not as good as warbreaker, yes i know they're both technically cosmere but im happy to call everything pre way of kings stand alone
Skyward is girl centric YA scifi, not terrible for its genre, basically girls want to be an x-wing pilot
Wheel of Time, he did a very good job finishing the series and it feels close enough like Jordan to ignore the obvious Sanderson parts. not perfect but very good
whats the sunlit man like? its the only one of those I didn't read yet
im happy to call everything pre way of kings stand alone
thats just dumb, warbreaker is a character in stormlight as is nightblood and the princess can't remember her name, also how do you pretend mistborn world isn't connected?
why do you keep posting this? why this book? i just finished the 3 'secret project' cosmere books and nightmare painter would be the easiest to film

My Properties Right Now
Snapshot: Is in Studio Development for television, so actually quite far along. (In Step Seven.)
Skyward: Has been optioned for television, and is looking for a showrunner. (In Step Four.)
Tress of the Emerald Sea: After going and doing pitches all this year, we are in the later interest stage for an animated television show, with maybe an offer of an option coming soon. (So in Step Two.)
Mistborn: Is at Step Zero right now, though recently it got as close as Step Six/Seven as a live-action film. (It’s tricky to point to where it got because this project did a lot more internal development than is usual—so it had basically done all of Step Seven before going out to pitch to studios. It got offers of development deals from studios, but no production deal, and the partners I had did not want to go back to script after all the work they did.
As the studio didn’t want to do it the way the producers did, it died at the end of Step Six. If it had gone as we wanted, we would have skipped Step Seven and Eight entirely, as the production deal would have included a greenlight. We then would have gone straight to Step Nine—which was why I was so hopeful I could do an announcement for you. Alas, it did not happen. (Yes, this means stars were attached. No, Henry C. was not one of them. Yes, you’d recognize some of the names. No, I can’t tell them to you.)
That’s everything, I’m afraid. I’ve said no to several offers on Cosmere properties over the last five years, as I was all-in on getting the Mistborn film made. Now that that has fallen through, I’m back to square one, basically, on the Cosmere.
an animated television show
so not live action, yea because the cost of a live action would be mental
yeah, somehow misremembered that bit, still it is the furthest of his cosmere books for adaptation
I don't get how after all that work they didn't try shopping it around to other studios unless certain ndas were signed
its post wind and truth about a invested person carrying a dawnshard on the run from 'bad guys' crash warping onto a planet thats sun bruns everything to ash and people have to out run it all day everyday in hover ships but people sacrificed to the sun leave power cores. liked it more than tress but less than nightmare painter. worth reading if you've read wind and truth unlike the others that are more stand alone
i'll be honest i read warbreaker years before any of the others and i cant even remember the mistborn connection. characters from warbreaker are basically cameo's in the main series with the exception of nightblood
ok thanks I'll read it then been on my reader for a while just hadn't gotten to it, nightmare painter was definitely my favorite of secret projects, I don't hate frugal mage like everyone seems too but it was lackluster
warbreaker himself vasher is a bit more then just a cameo but I see what you mean, if you pay attention Hoid is using allomancy all the time
