Why are the books SO MUCH better than the show?
The Wheel of Time
Robert Jordan made women look like fools for the enitre series. Is that what happens in the show?
My dog's Milk Bone shits are genius compared to the show
Because books are always better than their adaptations.
Chud thread.
Halima was pretty smart
Wow. The show must be really bad considering how shit the books already were.
Show's not bad at all. Books are outdated obviously but the show is a pretty fresh take on the whole "what if women were useful" trope.
Is the time wheel meant to look like Mickey Mouse or is it just a coincidence?
Is the water molecule meant to look like Mickey Mouse or is it just a coincidence?
cmon, son
Both are shit
tfw no thicc forsaken gf
elayne's smol perkies in the hills of tanchico
they actually cast an attractive actor to play an attractive character
I'm suddenly vaguely interested in her plot lines
Funny how that works.
This show makes me really fucking angry. If it was shit all the way through I could just discard it without a second thought, but with season three they are actually trying to make a good show.
Why couldn't they just start off like this instead making a mess of the story since season one? All the good scenes in the show happen when they try to get as close to the books as they can.
incel doesn't care about show unless he can beat off the the actors
this is honestly pathetic
This.
I'm also laughing at how hard Rafe is trying to pull it back to the book storylines. His interview script where he says "we had to do seasons 1 and 2 so that season 3 could be the most book accurate season ever!" is just utter horseshit. You could cut out 80% of seasons 1 and 2 and it wouldn't impact book 3.
Even if they kept all the changes they made to S1/2, all they'd have to do is remove the cringey original fanfic storylines they inserted and the series would be infinitely better.
Rand and Egwene fighting
Rand tells Egwene that she always drops him the instant something better comes along
I'm the dragon reborn and I'm still not enough for you
Given that Egwene is Rage's favourite character, I was surprised that he allowed such an honest read of Egwene's flaws to make it into the script.
If you were to cut off one of your fingers every time she does something extremely fucking retarded then you'd run out of fingers halfway through the story.
She literally thinks she's fucking immortal because she's pregnant.
that fight was stupid. Felt they egg and rand were arguing about different things
the further you get into the story the harder it becomes to ignore her flaws
The fight was stupid because it should have happened two season ago. But I'd say the fact that he was arguing about one thing and she was arguing about another is pretty accurate to how their characters always fail to communicate.
Netflix
We may never know.
Well that's because Rafe wasn't the writer for this episode.
Problem is the show completely misses the point of the novels. Reminder that Aes Sedai get their shit blown out the moment Asha'man reform despite the former having centuries to monopolize Power and build up influence.
Tried explaining to my gf (who has never read the books) why it's bad, and I realised how many fundamental world-building laws and story themes they had broken or contradicted solely so they could make it seem like a woman might be the chosen one for the first few eps.
Its almost like actually training to use your powers produces results. As opposed to self-imposing dumb limits, cleaning pots, and beings lesbians.
can avi just charge into the blight and win the day already bitch is so overpowered
avi just began wise one training and learning how to channel
bursts into Rand's chambers and begins murking dark aiel with the power 2 weeks later
Uh huh.
Sammael appears to attack Rand!
he brings half a dozen aiel and Rand is so OP that he murks him in an instant
Nah fuck that.
That is generally what happens almost every time his attacked in the books
nyn and moggy showdown ep 8 whos hyped
Well they've barely done anything to establish Nynaeve as a channeler, so not me.
exactly, so they will break her block by killing the spider. They gotta give her a moment next
what has she ever done that was so smart
She literally thinks she's fucking immortal because she's pregnant.
and because shes overinterpreting Min's vision
Didn't that happen in TAR? Are they gonna find female a'dam in the Palace
true the books sucked cause there was all of this build up for a payoff that didnt stick the landing. yeah the author died and sanderson had the major plot points but it didnt work.
they found the male a'dam in the collection in the palace. The Seanchan had already introduced the female version earlier.
Do you think we will get a chained Moggy pet in the show?
highly doubt
the shitshow is cancelled so no, obviously nyn will defeat and collar moggy end of this season but since its the last season thats it.
Maybe it will get picked up by another network.
fuckin hope not
I have faith the Light will triumph and this piece of shit will be gone as if it never existed
dude what!
the show is abysmal
wont happen its way too expensive for someone who doesnt have deep pockets like Amazon
It's not cancelled. No renewal yet doesn't mean anything.
grabbed Egwene's head and did stuff to her
sexual stuff?
yes it does it means its fucking cancelled better late then never
The vast majority of shows are renewed after the season completes. It's only the top few shows that get early pickups. Agreeing on budgets and if it'll be a multi-season pickup take time.
What was she even trying to do in Salidar
the books weren't written by blacks and women
Manipulate world events by fucking with Egwene's head
I hope rosamund and rafe get fired and they continue with someone that can act and someone with a brain that can write
In Salidar she was using her influence over the Sitter darkfriend to keep everything gridlocked. After Egwene cons them into putting her in charge, she starts using subtle compulsion on Egwene to fuck with everything.
amazon has always renewed shows in the first couple weeks of a season airing if a renewal isn't announced in 2 weeks the season finale its dead jim, thank the LIght
guillotines and starting over are the only acceptable options
THREE FUCKING SEASONS AND PERRIN STILL HASNT DONE SHIT WITH WOLVES OR GOT AN AXE
amazon has always renewed shows in the first couple weeks of a season airing
you're either retarded or simply lying. but you do you.
85% of anything to do with wolves or the axe/hammer is all his inner perspective. It will be very hard for that to translate on screen
they always do, stay delusional this awful shit is dead
There's nothing wrong with Rosamund. Her version of the audiobooks are actually kino.
they already showed how he can interact with the wolves visually, they just didn't do anything with it
forgotten/abandoned like many things from season 1/2
she is awful casting and is phoning it in, everything about rosamund in this is wrong
There's nothing wrong with Rosamund
she's enormous
she is fucking terrible. She can barely stay awake. Completely emotionaless
nearly everyone in the cast is the wrong size. The book character sizes are not overly realistic and not practical if you want to find people with actual acting ability.
What a retarded take. The ending was extremely satisfying.
are you really saying they couldn't find a 5'5 actress? seriously? don't be so retarded
Because it showed a matriarchal society being unable to withstand hardship. They're ultimately saved by a man and the message is essentially that women and men compliment each other. The show is just girlbosses all the way down.
thts pure cope, the actor for Rand is fine the og actor for Mat was fine, they could've gotten Ray Stevenson for Lan, they could've gotten attractive women for egwene nyn and avi, there is lots of things they could've done they chose not to
lan should have put aviendha on her ass when she challenged him. I know he was just playing around but he should be untouchable. And did he mentioned to that aiel/malkieri slut that he's forgotten his malkieri ways? what the actual fuck
Moiriane is more like 4' 5" certainly under 5 foot.
The book character sizes are not overly realistic
The vast majority of the cast is entirely realistic. The only real exception is the Aiel, and even in the case of the Aiel it's only unrealistic because they're ALL tall with only a few exceptions.
Mat and Perrin (and Lan) are in the 6' range, Rand is 6'5 or '6. Most of the female characters outside of the Aiel are under 6'. Moiraine is 5'2 which is completely within normal ranges for women.
There's only a handful of outliers, like Bael being >7'0 and Davram Bashere being like 5'0.
I think youre confusing her with Mini Sedai
Moiraine Damodred 5'2 1.57m Aes Sedai Female Cairhienin
yes and pike is 5'8, you could've easily found an actress that was 5'0 or 5'1 and you wouldn't have to pay them so much it was meme casting and it was bad
my queen
you autists pick the weirdest shit to be outraged at
you shil faggot pick the worst hills to die on they could've easily found actors who resembled there book counterparts Rafe outright said he wouldn't do it are you really telling me they couldn't find 3 girls who looked something like this? you are an obvious shill and a bad one at that
because the show is made by a bunch of Dunning-Kreuger faggots that don't care about the books at all and think they can draw a better picture than a true artist when they can't even trace
did we ever learn why original Mat left? Did rafe touch him?
Because he was actually a fan of the books.
oof
I bet they could, but even that is nothing compared to the rest of the problems.
Now stop complaining about half a foot height difference
haha season 3 is actually great bro
Yeah sure shill. Your boss got fired, you and your shitty show are next
fuck off rafe you faggot
The book character sizes are not overly realistic and not practical if you want to find people with actual acting ability.
you disingenuous fuck, kys
Being trained by a forsaken who knows all the dope shit probably helps too
Tain refuses to teach those weaves to any outside his circle
Even if they cloned the book characters you autists would find something to complain about.
True
Even with Tain withholding, they were still actually training. Channel to heat your food etc is far more effective at teaching you to wield the power than doing chores by hand in the kitchen.
if they had book accurate casting and didn't fuck with the very foundation of the story then no their would've been no complaints quite the opposite we'd have been its greatest supporters
yep also stuff like digging ditches building houses all of it, its a pretty smart training regimen, you don't get to eat hot food until you can heat it yourself for instance
yes but at least we would genuinely enjoy every minute of it and would expose this great saga to a large new audience as well as generating renewed interest and sales of the novels but instead it's just dogshit that hurts to think about because it's a worse prospect now for a good Wheel of Time show/film than if it was never made and a "Wheel of Time adaptation unlikely" article was published. I couldn't even humor the abridgment and get excited about it for a while like Game of Thrones because it was such hot dogshit from square one
I haven't seen that art before, I like it, its suppose to be him on dragon mount I take it?
or going apeshit with Callandor?
maybe but if you look at his right hand the blue lightning it would seem to be the choden kal not callandor, still your right every else fits him going nuts against the seanchan with callador
no Aes Sedai gf to cure my impotence
The lightning in the mountains in the background makes it when he loses control with Callandor.
could they help?
you're right its from the battle of Altara. Also I just found this, this guy breaks down many WoT battles I really liked it this campaign for instance was always pretty confusing for me in the book makes me want a rts wot game, rands sperg out is at 10mins
youtube.com
The better question is are they going to find the Mercedes logo in there.
an even better question will elayne find the vibrator
incel incel incel
Was that in the books?
I need to reread that scene.
You know they its gonna be a maga hat or some other dumb shit
an event better question is will thom spank elayne
yes, thats what you get for skipping elayne has lots of baths and drinks goats milk arc. As you may remember elayne has a Talent for angreal she can usually figure out what a ter-angreal is suppose to do just by touching it, while studing her massive collection of ter-angeal she finds one that is very suspicious looking almost a rod, frim but has some give she has no word for rubber, it also gives off a very um pleasant 'warming' sensation, Elayne decides she needs to study it further in private, Birgette quickly decides she needs to get very drunk.
based birgette
Oh that's way to subtle, I used to just blank out whenever I saw Elayne on the page.
As you may remember elayne has a Talent for angreal she can usually figure out what a ter-angreal is
isnt that Aviendha? or is she just better at figuring it out than Elayne
thom did, is and always will spank elayne, the wheel turns, and spankings come and pass, leaving burning butts that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the spanking that gave it birth comes again. Then she gets spanked again.
actually you're right elyane has a Talent for making angreal/ter-angreal, avi in figuring out what they are, none the less elyane is the one who figures out that particular one.
its a common mistake, elyane chapters eventually grow on you once you realize whats actually going on
Some of them are nice. I remember the one when she got super drunk and asked Thom if he finds her hotter than her mother.
whats that
you'll have RAFO she's really really horny
it happens after getting dragon dick
no it happens before its been happening for ages for instance she's super fucking thirsty for a long time before she finally gets a good Dragon dicking
no braid tugging
no skirt smoothing
no folding arms under breasts
no well turned calves
no spankings
soulless
weep for what was lost
