Looking at the previous thread through mturk and it shows 412 responses, not sure where you're getting your data from but in any case, let's cheerily discuss the new season and post our hopes for the forthcoming season 4.

hacker porn film festival no gender no border

lol I always think some anon sneakily photoshopped it in it but no, it's real.

Looking at the previous thread through mturk and it shows 412 responses

ok that was clever. but if you know about mturk you are probably a third worlder who answers survey questions for USD pennies

time slop

Grow up

skipped Elyas' introduction in season 1

Two Rivers are a hodgepodge of different races which completely defeats the purpose of that town being isolated from the main kingdom which is important from the 5th book onwards

skips Mat 1v2 against Galad and Gawyn, one of the coolest scenes in the 3rd book

Not watching this shit.

That's neither here nor there. I'm sure you do things for money too. We're here to talk about Amazon's Wheel of Time Season 3 and its monumental success in terms of viewer ratings, viewership, and book reader approval.

Rand not even on the poster

I have won again Lews Therin!

sar what is it you are not understanding

kinky weird, post-porn and queer cinema

is woke forced crap that has been dropping cash return on otherwise blockbuster television investments for quite a while now

what destroyed that future civilization?

Wizards are driven mad after beating Satan and destroy everything.

and what happened to us?

In the first book it's implied that WW3 happened, civilization collapsed and at some point people discover magic.

is magic just hyper advanced technology that everyone forgot about?

No, it's magic and the previous civilization built technology around it

why are women able to handle it for their entire lives while men go crazy if they do it for too long?

Magic is split in two. When a man used it to stop the big bad he inadvertently exposed the male half to it. The girls weren't involved so their half is still clean.

I think "queer cinema" falls under "woke"

cool. I should probably start the books

Satan? lol, I can't take even a fantasy seriously if it's got religious shit in it.

half the acclaims are for short film festivals

I think they just sent some of those animated history shorts instead of the actual show.

>half the acclaims are for short film festivals

downvotes in other words

It's metaphysical force that opposes the creator. Not really Satan but plenty of parallels. Author never really explains it other than that it is trying to escape it's prison and causes all sorts of abominations to torment humans

mole of time

How so?

lel

almost as gross as egwene's morals

easier to just watch the show

I just remembered the show existed. I watched the first 2 seasons. But didn't watch the 3rd. Tell me... how bad does season 3 get?

what an awful idea

So what fantasy series is next to be raped? I used to think Hollywood would never bother trying to adapt picrel because of the overt pro-life theme but now I'm not so sure.

it'll be the black company and you know it

Best-rated season so far. Fans loved it. Brought the show back into the top 10 for Nielsen. You dropped it at the wrong time. It's better than ever.

its dogshit like always

Amber has been in development hell for almost a decade now

Not really Satan but plenty of parallels

His name is Shai Tan. Say it out loud.
Although for what it's worth, Rand is Lucifer, so the clear implication is that religious text often confuses the Dragon and the Dark One as being the same as commoners regularly do in the series itself.

I didn't even "drop" it. I literally just forgot about it. I'm probably going to watch season 3 now that I remember. Pirated of course.

I'm a fairly well read on the book, so I'll know how far off the path they're going. They will have to work some real magic to recover from Season 2's mishaps.

This is what I'm guessing.
I bet they won't get picked up for season 4. That was always my prediction from the very beginning. When I saw that they were already well along in production for S2, before S1 aired, it dawned on me that Amazon already paid for multiple seasons up front. So it didn't matter how the first few seasons performed, they were coming out regardless. But after their contract expires, they'll have to renew. And I have a feeling Amazon isn't interested in renewing this dogshit.

it hasn't been renewed yet so fingers crossed this is the end of this tripe,I will say and I'm sure you'll hear it a few times, about 1/2 of episode4 is decent thats it the rest is awful spiteful poorly made shit.

Say it out loud

Don't do that you flaming woolhead

say it out loud

this poster is a darkfreind don't fall for his tricks

the forthcoming season 4.

Lol. Lmao.

In the first book it's implied that WW3 happened, civilization collapsed and at some point people discover magic.

This is headcanon, the Mosk and Merc story refers to the Cold War but there's no indication that an actual nuclear war happened. The Age of Legends started when people discovered the Power, not because of a global war.

the giants threw spears across the ocean at each other don't be stupid of course it was nukes

how bad does season 3 get?

They finally included ONE scene from the books (Rand's Aiel flashback) and even then they couldn't help themselves and made one of his ancestors a homosexual.

AoL happens after ww3 not during, sometime affter ww3 they discovered the OP

Brought the show back into the top 10 for Nielsen

What is this, opposite day? It literally dropped out of the top 10 for episode 6 and it has never been this bad.

but there's no indication that an actual nuclear war happened

Mosk and Merk destroyed each other with "Lances of Fire that pierced the skies and rained down destruction across the lands".

They will have to work some real magic to recover from Season 2's mishaps.

They don't.

I am midway thrugh season 2 I really want to like this show but there are just so many brown people EVERYWHERE and roasties everywhere. I like the violence and blood and fighting and gore.
But do we need to have so many brownoids?

the show is complete trash even if you haven't read the books the simple fact that a character died end of s1 and then is back and completely fine with zero explanation should clue you in

the brownoid woman who went through the mirror and had Picards Star Trek flute baby? I still dont understand how she "died" they just gave up on her trapped in there.

tai'shar fellow 4channelers, let's stop discussing the show's obvious faults and focus on the casting so that all criticism will be dismissed as bigotry which was the entire point of the casting

actual amazon shill

no well that too its hilarious later on in this trsh when the character that healed her from fucking death is screaming

you can't heal death

at another character but I digress no I mean the ogier you might know him as the really big guy with the worst wig, he was stabbed to death by a cursed dagger end of s1 in s2 he's just fine now let us never speak of this again.

torforgeblog.com/2020/05/04/read-part-1-the-eye-of-the-world/

read the prologue, it's pure kino

tfw wigs need more fixing

imbed 1 pixel video player on the home screen of your app

count even 1 second as a full viewing

haha yes our show is the most watched EVER

no we not disclose any internal numbers of our subscribers that actually chose to navigate to the show's page

110 when

It's a common fan theory but the Mosk and Merk story has always referred to the Cold War. You won't find any mentions of a nuclear war happening in the First Age on Theoryland for example, and the thing that kickstarted the AoL was Tamyrlin discovering channeling.

Doesn't matter, even with the showsworn rewatching on repeat they still didn't manage to stay in the top ten rankings anymore. It's fucking over.

once again AoL is not ww3 which is not the cold war its the hot war when they started chucking nukes at each other its not a theory "Lances of Fire that pierced the skies and rained down destruction across the lands" its a fucking nuclear war, later after the war the OP was discovered, can you please read what is written before repeating yourself for the last fucking time WW3 was NOT the start of the age of legends it was the preceding age. Also I don't give a fuck about theoryland they are a bunch of morons who have spent years eating their own tails with moronic nonsense, they didn't even get the Mercedes-Benz or the dildo bunch of fucking idiots the lot of them.

I'm assuming this is some reddit shit? that is hilarious, you don't think they discount repeat viewings? it doesn't work like that I could watch it over and over non stop it still counts as one view, by the light what a bunch of fuckwits

The story of Mosk and Merk is from the age before the age of legends. Thom literally says that.

You can go back to r*ddit, ma'am

I mean I get it a show being spiteful and hateful towards the story its adapting while simultaneously being unable to tell a cohesive story because all time and money was spent on wigs is a tale as old as film-making, wigs man fucking wigs how many lives have they ruined?

It tries to course correct but it's way too late and the same people are still writing it. Everything is rushed because they wasted so much time so far. For example, Rand hasn't been developed as a leader so to make up for that they have Perrin tell him "everyone comes to you for leadership, Rand," despite that never being shown. They're also playing snakes and foxes and show a picture of Rand's battle in the sky (despite it not happening) in the same scene because they're so far behind. Nothing has time to breathe.
They keep doing deliberately retarded shit too. Loial gets killed off (again), Aviendha summons flaming swords instead of Rand, bubbles of evil are created by Lanfear, in one episode Rafe's boyfriend gets nearly as much screentime as Perrin, etc. They just cant help themselves.

nta, why would they be playing snakes and foxes in the first place? its a children's game its like seeing 20 somethings playing snakes and ladders, they would've been playing cards or playing Sha'rah which is chess, they can't even get their stupid "tee hee see we did something from the books!" right

I like theoryland. Their interview search lets you easily find horse's-mouth tidbits, though it's been polluted by the addition of Sanderson interviews. terez combed through the notes (unlike Maria, Alan, or Sanderson) and posted details there which was a high point. The actual fan theories are all over the place of course but it was a cool way to document that kind of thing back when the series was ongoing. I think you should apologize to theoryland

Perrin's retarded and Rand's his wrangler

lel

Rafe's boyfriend gets nearly as much screentime as Perrin

Makes sense if the show isn't getting renewed. Might as well help build up your best bud's portfolio on the way out

unlike Maria

Maria is a fucking god of WoT you should apologize right fucking now, what you like or don't like is irrelevant their is one person inthe world who knows more about WoT then anyone else including RJ for that matter and it is Maria. You clearly bought into their stupid shit like oh idk

their was no ww3 its just a fan theory

I was their during the series when it was ongoing, and they are a bunch of morons who refused to accept simple facts. Documenting theories is one thing, accepting that shit as some corner stone of lore is retarded, as I said I said a fucking decade ago they found a mercedes-benz symbol and theoryland had a fucking meltdown same when I pointed out Elyane found a AoL dildo. Theoryland should apologize to me.

I-I have no argument here show wise thats on point.

I don't know if you—I mean, I tell this story; I don't know if you guys have heard this before—but the level of detail Robert Jordan went into in the worldbuilding... there was one point where I was working on Towers of Midnight, and I sent an email to Maria saying, "I can't keep track of who is with Perrin. Do you have just a list somewhere?" And I was really just meaning the Wise Ones, right? And, you know, named characters. Maria comes back and says, "Well I just dug this out of the notes; I hadn't seen it before. Maybe this will help. It's a file called 'With Perrin'". I went, "Oh, good." And I opened it up...no, that's not what it is; it is the names of all the Two Rivers folk who haven't been named in the books yet who are traveling with Perrin, and often a little bit about each of them, and a list of several dozen names of people who haven't been named yet.

So BS asked Maria for some info, and in response Maria gave BS a file she had no idea of the contents of (and hadn't read before). Just based on the file label. This is the supposed paragon of WoT knowledge? Maria is a bozo.

whats its competition? nothing? okay

rand stop you cant heal death!!!

yea you fucktards really like to pull that one out don't you, never mind the literal decades of her work never mind that sanderson said multiple times Maria would remind him of things he got wrong and or missed, she was grieving she was tired, her best friend and knowing rigney probably her lover had died, she was checking out at that point. the fact that you even feel ok to disparage Maria tells me everything I need to know about you, you disgusting Piece of Shit. For many many years it was AMAFO, I actually did email her a few times and she was kind enough to respond her wealth of knowledge was staggering.

I loved these books when i was a kid and i've read the first books at least 5 times but i couldn't even make it through 1 episode of the amazon shitshow.

Rand hasn't been developed as a leader so to make up for that they have Perrin tell him "everyone comes to you for leadership, Rand,"

kek reminds me of how they forgot to show Sansa learning how to lead in GoT so they just had her saying 'smart' things and have other characters talk to the screen about how smart she is.

Sarah Nakamura is the true lore goddess. Maria is a pretender, and also is not as pretty, something RJ himself would have considered. If RJ were still around Sarah would be in charge of all wot lore

oh you think you're "baiting" got it time to head on back sarah is a moron

i-it was ta-veren not the power

I um wait well it was an explosion of..wait give me a sec

oh fuck it just give me money I'll say anything you want

its time to stop posting

In all honesty, I don't support any women in charge of lore. Harriet is a failure, Maria is a total failure (sorry pal), Sarah is a joke, and on another note the female Tolkiens ruined the estate the second Chris died.

this is misinterpereted. BS is saying Maria knows so much she assumed he knew all the wise ones and major players in perrins party and was asking for the lesser players, he's saying she was so knowlagable she just assumes people at least know the basics. And shes right I know all the wise ones with perrin itslike asking

um perrin has 2 asha-man with him do you remember their names?

yes of course I do why the fuck are you asking me that? don't you know? next your going to ask me who tallanvor is

Maria is a total failure

why do you think that? in all honesty I think you are retarded, why would you think that?

you have no idea what you are talking about, have you even heard of Maria before this thread you fucking casual? how old are you? she held the line for literal decades

casts a almost perfect aviendha as chiad in your path

I hadn't seen it before

This is misinterpreted?

Sanderson FUCKED UP the series catastrophically prior to fellow gay mormon Rafe fucking it up even more, and Maria and Alan are entirely to blame and it cannot be argued.

I turned 19 two weeks ago and that has nothing to do with fucking anything boomer.

no she was working through notes and assumed he was asking about bit players not the main ones, read it again the idea that BS was asking about the wise ones with perrin is stupidity on his part, why doesn't he know that? ts edarra aeron and colinda btw, one would assume he's asking about the others

yes BS is an idiot, how is this Marias fault explain yourself
Well that explains it perfectly doesn't it, yes it has everything to do with why you are a retard, you um you haven't actually read the books have you?

Terez read all of the notes and uncovered things Maria had no idea about, because she didn't read them. She admitted to BS that she had not read "With Perrin". She said it, right there. If your job is being Team Jordan supporting BS in his effort to commit sacrilege why not actually read the notes? Terez did it pretty quickly what's her excuse?

BS is perffectly capable of fucking shit up all on his own he just fucked his own series beyond belief how is this Maria's fault? He couldn't even remember the wise ones that were with Perrin.

This is a television and film board.

She was grieving, if you weren't a stupid child you'd understand just how many "notes" were their it was a library all to itself, terez is a fucking idiot as you already proved early with your idiotic

well ww3 was just a fan theory

you absolute fuckwit child. Stop trying to discuss things with your elders.

Terez is the true lore goddess and you should really apologize.

lmao so you haven't read the books you have no clue what you are talking about and should go back until you've got some hair on your balls, and maybe read a book or two, got it.

you might just be the dumbest mf I've talked to in a while.

This is ACTUALLY a television & film board. It's called "Anon Babble".

ad hom aside: Terez read the notes unlike Maria.

you need to stop posting kid you've embarrassed yourself enough for one night

he just fucked his own series beyond belief

Just how bad was Wind and Truth?

Maria wrote the notes you idiotic child, you have no idea what you are talking about and yet you keep posting.

pretty damn bad, he just...well its bad m8

I hadn't seen it before

All that needs to be said about Maria.

RJ > Terez >>>>>> Sarah > Brandon >>> Maria = Alan >>>>> Harriet

you are one dumbfuck child, all that needs to be said about you.

you are repulsive and need to stop posting about something you know nothing about

learn to read before posting

season 3

This shit had a second season?

I got into UPenn and have my whole life ahead of me. All you have is some weird obsession with a lazy incompetent "griever" who couldn't manage to do the job she was paid for and ended up ruining the magnum opus of the estate head she was so upset over because she sent you a smiley face emoji in an email back in the 70s

maybe you should spend some of that life reading instead of making an idiot of yourself posting about something you know nothing about. you utterly insufferable stupid child.

This is a television & film board.

and you are a idiot trying to discuss a book series when you cant read, kinda telling don't you think kiddo?

Here's something to read:

I hadn't seen it before

learn to read

I'm as well-read as Ma "I hadn't seen it before" Ria

you are just desperate for another (you) eh kid? ok here (you) go kiddo, one last (you) just for (you).

In all seriousness: even though we have a difference of opinion, I thoroughly enjoyed our exchange. I respect the fact that you stood your ground despite overwhelming evidence that Maria is inferior to Terez and should have been dismissed from her role during the process of vetting Brandon's fanfiction. Your loyalty to Maria based on a <vbg> she sent you over ARPAnet is not just quaint but is a real reminder that times used to be simpler. Even though we couldn't come to an agreement, I acknowledge your stance, admire your rizz, and will say farewell here. Thank you and goodbye.

It's pure cope, yeah. They don't understand that faking viewership numbers only matters when you lie to investors, but in this case Amazon IS the investor so of course they won't make renewal decisions based on fake engagement.

The only thing that would make S4 worth it would be seeing Loial survive AGAIN by falling onto a lower platform in the Ways or some shit like that. Even better if they just ignore his death like they did before and give no explanation at all.

44 minutes into Episode 1 and Elayne and Aviendha are having a gay make out session. This is retarded. Remember Elayne and Rand were supposed to be the ones canoodling at Tear. What a shit show. They established a fanfic romance before establishing the canon one.

Also, I noted that Rafe Judkin's boyfriend wasn't the one who died. This is very ironic, because Rafe tries to hard to be hyper progressive and all about diversity. So he makes the warder black. Only to kill off the black guy in favor of his white boyfriend.

I don't know if I want to continue watching. I think I need a little break before I can finish this episode.

just have him back in the two rivers walking around with perrin would be perfect

Nynaeve tries to offer Liandrin redemption using the line from Ingtar's redemption scene, Melindhra is now a Malkieri who joined the Aiel (while still being a darkfriend) and she gives Lan the death is lighter than a feather -speech when she dies. No, I'm not kidding.

who is pic supposed to be?

They established a fanfic romance before establishing the canon one.

remember moiraine and suine dyking out?
remember gay warders?
remember dead gay warders?
remember egg rand and perrin love triangle?
this entire show in fanfic made by shipper faggots

lan also doesnt remember what malkier is and needs melindhra to remind him

Elayne!

she looks like an albino. elayne is supposed to be a generational beauty. i hate the antichrist.

Elayne and Aviendha didn't meet in s2 either. This is the first time they've been on screen together iirc.

The fact that you have no idea what you are talking about makes this so much more hilarious. Nta btw it's just funny as fuck you tried to argue with a real fan of WoT and got your shit pushed in so hard this what came out, lmao.

yeah, more opportunities for gay sex! They were all in falme but avi and elayne never met there there were doing different things while there.

I have my entire life ahead of me and I got into UPenn.

i always thought this was some kind of nose piercing lmao

You haven't even seen the show?

To be fair, they did have 1 scene together prior to this.

No, why would I? I like the books.

This is a television and film board, though?

Stink lines.

She's pretty. Not generational beauty. But generally pretty. I just took a bad screenshot of her. Here's a better one.
Also, I don't think you know what albino means. Maybe you should look it up.

Fucking albino bitch.

she has albinistic features retard

No she doesn't.

doesn't seem to have much melanin for one

Get your eyes checked.

you believe she has a lot of melanin?

Do you know what melanin is?

what is melanin?

pheomelanin >>>>>>> eumelanin

It's a chemical we use for pigmentation

oh. she probably does have a lot of chemicals we use for pigmentation now that i think about it
