There's absolutely no way this is gonna be bad. It's gonna be the best Fantasy TV adaptation of all time.
>>68910577
Read the first book, blatant and terrible lotr ripoff with fucking hatable chars. Wouldnt read or watch more if i got paid to.
>>68910577
>You will see the Horn of Valere being sounded the first time and the hype moment when Rand declares himself the Dragon Reborn on screen in your lifetime
Yeah sure
It'll be awful. The source material is shit, it's not worth a faithful adaption. And this is coming from someone who's read the entire series.
I just hope the trollocs don't look too fake.

We finally come full circle. Time truly is a wheel
>>68910577
So can someone tell me what this is about really? how is it different than the usual dragonshit?

This as the main theme please
I wonder what the WoT spammer that used to lurk /got/ is thinking now

Why even live.

He used to make several different posts comparing GoT and WoT and telling people to jump off the GoT bandwagon and move to WoT and so on. It was pretty funny seeing the bookfags sperging over it in retrospect.

kys cuck. this thread already had plenty of responses, even though this thread shouldn't have been made because there was already one before this.
>>68911640
holy fuck take your promotion elsewhere you stupid fucking shill
Is Mr Eko the tripfriend still around? He was a huge WoT fan.
>>68911362
What is this post your personal edits to the series or what are you accomplishing by posting your fan fic of course no one is going to adapt stuff that never happens
>>68911362
It took me a bit to realize you weren't retarded.
Dammit, this is how it actually will play out in the /tv/ show isn't it?
alright lads, who plays the 3 leads?
>>68912698
I genuinely think Taim was supposed to be Demandred and Sanderson changed it of his own accord.
i gave up halfway through the first book, i realized id read 300+ stuff and was already moving at a snails pace. Apparently it gets even slower, thats when i dropped that shit hard
>>68912933
I thought that Kekdred becoming the not dragon of Shara was pretty cool from a thematic standpoint, but it really did feel like it came out of nowhere. The foreshadowing was so minimal, and Shara was completely irrelevant to the story up until that moment
>>68912674
Taimandred was a widespread fan theory which Robert Jordan repeatedly denied.
In early drafts of the first book, Ewin Finngar was a main character.
>>68912933
Jordan changed it, but you're right! Taim was originally supposed to be Demandred. In fact, you can consider that to be canon through book 6, which is weird. (Recently, a superfan went to the library at the College of Charleston where most of his notes were donated and read through them all, unlike Brandon Sanderson, and found out that Taim=Demandred was the original plan as of the writing of Lord of Chaos. Also, Taimandred was Asmodean's killer in the original plan.)

Lol. This. JUSTed as fuck. Robert jordan B T F O
>>68913201
Interesting. I'm glad it was changed though. Demandred letting rand live even though he had him at his mercy after dumai wells would have been villain ball as fuck.
I wonder if Marilin Gemalphin's cats are okay. pic unrelated
>>68913398
It's implied in the prologue of LoC that the Great Lord instructed Demandred to spare Rand.
>>68911271
pls no

this is much better.
>>68912756
Garrett Hedlund for Matrim Cauthon
Henry Cavill for Perrin Aybara
Chace Crawford for Rand al'Thor
Thoughts?
>>68914884
Yes, mature thirtysomethings should portray ignorant teenage boys, that wouldn't ruin the story
>>68915394
so whats your cast list?
>>68915573
Unknown teenage actors who are replaced with age-appropriate actors every season in the manner of the Atlas Shrugged films
lol not that anon but they're gonna need to cast relative unknowns for the three boys and the wondergirls, any actor who's known will play one of the numerous mentor roles in the series
>>68915646
wow, how exciting.
>>68915726
Better than your stupid idea, fag
>>68915771
you could at least try to have fun with it, that's really the point.
>>68915646
No need for that. Just some unknown 20-25 year olds who can pull off 17ish with makeup but still grow a decent beard.
>>68910577
The gender politics of WoT are unsellable nowadays.
>men fuck everything up and women are sensible
>but women are assholes with no morality
>men and women must fulfill different roles by nature
>>68915934
>unsellable nowadays.
I wouldn't say that gender politics are what WoT has to offer as 'sellable' assets in the first place. I think the gender commentary it provides is as relevant today as it has ever been.
>>68910577
Pretty sure the same thing was said when GoT was in development. The people in charge will always find a way to fuck it up, and I'm certain /tv/ will cry like bitches if even one word from the book changes in the show.
What is this series about?
>>68916082
Fabrics, clothing styles, bitching and braid tugging.
>>68916143
DELET THIS. but yes.
Do you think egwene and nynave and shit will be just as much insufferable cunts as in the books. i could see it happening with muh strong womynz being all the rage these days. even though they all act like fucking idiots and retarded children the entire series.
>>68916066
And they were right.
>it's a Cenn Buie episode
>>68916592
I hope they are. Their stubbornness is sometimes helpful and sometimes hurtful but it makes them interesting.
>requires a higher budget than GoT
>will probably be on syfy or nbc
It's going to fail miserable.
>>68917032
just rotoscope the big sfx stuff, problem solved
>>68916750
Characters that did nothing wrong thread?
>>68917032
Childhood's End was ok
Syfy is improving, spread the word
inb4 they cast the sand sneks as the protagonist sluts
>>68917947
I dunno, Rosabell Sellers wouldn't make for a terrible Min
>>68917979
The WoT females and the sand sluts just seem to have the same shitty personality.

>>68918117
Look, I don't care what you call it. We've spent 6 books at that point with women being absolute cunts and obstructionists in every way they can be. And now, something the main character did has finally paid off in a big way and completely upset the established power of the setting.
It was fucking great, and seeing it put to film will be fucking great.
>>68918257
Dumais Wells was based as fuck dont listen to the haters anon
>>68918220
It's not about tropes or tumblr, it just makes me cringe so hard when some guy gets a power up and goes "I'M A DRAGON HEAR ME ROAR!!". I suppose it's satisfying to see the underdog protagonist get empowered, but those scenes are just embarrassing. They belong in fanfiction, Dragon Ball Z and the rest of the Chinese shit.
>>68918349
>guys being powerful makes me cringe
???
>>68918349
how is getting tricked, kidnapped, tortured and then only escaping and gaining advantage due to third party interference getting a power up?
>>68918385
Being powerful isn't the bad thing, it's the heavy-handedness of it all. It sounds like something a wimpy little kid would write to satisfy his power fantasies. I prefer protagonists that are competent in the first place, and don't need big displays of power. It's just crude.
>>68918450
The Iceman had over 1,000 confirmed kills and ate lunch next to dead men you numale piece of trash
>>68918471
I have no idea who the Iceman is because I don't read generic pleb fantasy trash like WoT. I'm just saying that it sounds cringe as fuck to everyone who is not a manchild.
>>68918450
>>68918450
>it just makes me cringe so hard when some guy gets a power up and goes "I'M A DRAGON HEAR ME ROAR!!".
the scene this guy >>68918047 was referring to isn't some DBZ power up scene, it's the MC's army BTFO another army and forcing them to swear fealty to the MC.
And yeah, Rand is crazy strong even by the standards of his own world, but it's balanced by his inexperience and growing schizophrenia. Nothing DBZ about it
>>68918541
Robert Jordan was a highly decorated Viet Nam veteran. His squad mates nicknamed him the ice man after a major battle where he calmly used a .60 to hold off a viet cong wave by himself. When he got back to base a guy saw him and called out Behold, the Iceman cometh. Reference to an old book, where the iceman was death.
>>68918541

>criticizes WoT

Yup, checks out.

Any clue which international thriller Robert Jordan ghostwrote?
>>68910577
They are going to fuck it up just like Sword Of Truth bullshit. They will cast some 140lb, 5'7" Manlet for Rand with super fake red hair. It's going to blow dick and balls.
>>68917758
Syfy is shit
I fear for how a show for these books will turn out. There is a lot of inner dialogue of course but the main thing is the issue of channeling which is all about feeling shit and mental images. Non - channelers can't see the strings/flows of the channelers and the opposite sex cant see each others shit as well. Lots of talk about feeling each others feelings through bonds.
All this comes down to pov mattes a lot in these books and I can't see how a show can swap povs or just ignore them.
>>68919391
Completely agree. I doubt it's possible to do this series justice.
>>68919295
Completely agree. I doubt it's possible this won't blow dick and balls.
