The Wheel of Time will get a TV show
>It will be better than Game of Thrones after learning from the mistakes of D&D

Will this be the fantasy-kino that GoT was supposed to be

>Reading this and the Matriarchal undertones are kind of sexy in some areas, but the constant sassiness gets to me
>>70100954
>but the constant sassiness gets to me
THE CONSTANT SASS IS THE BEST PART
>>70101229
But it's not even clever (the female sassiness)
It's just them saying untrue/banal shit because they feel bad when they're irrelevant.
If it were actually good banter I wouldn't dislike it so much.
The thing is, I'm pretty sure Robert did it on purpose. So, my dislike of the characters was his intended effect.
>>70100664
>it's a Cadsuane spanks Semirhage and makes her eat off of the floor episode
>>70101316
I only hated it in the middle books. When the story grinded to a halt to showcase those sassy women. Who would have thought that nynaeve would be the most interesting and relatiable femnal character. Color me surprised when I suddenly found she was the only women beside min I didn't outright hate for one reason or another
>>70101326
Oh gawd. It didn't seem so obviously sexual when I read it but god damn it is when you picture it on film, isn't it.
>>70101586
I'm finishing book 6 The Lord of Chaos now. It's slow. Even Matt's Chapters are sluggish
>>70101797
Book six is easily the best in the series.
>>70101797
LOC has literally the best scene in the entire series, though, and the one universally desired above all else for an on-screen adaptation.
Does it have enough tits?
>>70101838
Aviendha and rand in the ice house would be pretty good HBO tits though.
>>70101838
>and the one universally desired above all else for an on-screen adaptation.
Waaaaaaaaait a minute,what about when the Ashaman show up to free Rand
>>70101925
Yes, that is in LOC, part of the overall Dumai's Wells scene.
>>70101925
Not gonna click that. Been avoiding spoilers, and it's great to be surprised
>>70101963
Oh right, I forgot
>>70101898
It could easily be as lewd as GOT if they wanted it to be. The text elides most of the details, but there's constant sex and nudity, it's just a little oblique.
>>70101829
>>70101838
That's what I hear, but it's been slow. I'll probably finish the last 8 chapters tonight
>>70102031
I like that because it's doesn't come across as try-hard. I wouldn't mind the adaptation being lewd, but I'm glad that the series is also appropriate for kids
>>70101925
>>70101838
I still think best visual scenes would be stuff like them being chased by trollocs through Shadar Logoth when the mist starts picking them off.
Or Mat breaking into the stone of tear.
or mat beating the shit out of galad and gawyn with a quarterstaff in the training yard.
What's it about? Never heard of the books.
>>70102154
Matt beating Galad and Gawyn was something I was getting excited about while listening.
When Randlearns to kill all of the Trollocs at once in Tearor when Mattblows the horn, the companions come back, and Rand is fighting in the sky
>>70102164

Goddamn the amounts of badass scenes waiting to be shown in this series are practically infinite.

So I'm never going to read these books (I remembered when this was announced that I read like the first 50 pages of the first book in a doctor's waiting room when I was about 12), can someone tell me real quick why it's called Wheel of Time? Is there a time-travel or thematically/figuratively cyclical element?
>>70102373
>Robin Hood
think you mean Odin son
>>70103237
The latter.
Also if the very first scene isn't the last moments of Lews Therin I will drop the series right away.

Is the idea of these books that the light ruled for a long time with the dragon being a kind of christ-like messiah in a golden age, but the devil tainted magic and caused all the good wizards to go insane and the world broke and became a simpler world?
If by some miracle it made it that far you think they will full on address Euwgene getting seduced by a Forsaken One and not "muh head massages"?
>>70103302
Well he starts off as Robin Hood but yeah Odin does make more sense by the end
>>70103123
>Band of the Red Hand is cut
>half of the Forsaken are cut
>Seanchan cut
>Logain & Taim merged into a single character
>>70103237
Symbolism and shit. It's what they call fate/destiny/cyclical history
>>70103390
>>Logain & Taim merged into a single character
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOGAIN IS PURE
>>70103341
Part of the whole point of the books is that the past of the world is incredibly uncertain. All we really know is that the light is probably on our side and the forsaken wants to fuck our shit up.
>>70103341
Nah it's more basic than that
Evil incarnate does it's evil incarnate thing but a few messiahs rise to stop him
>>70103390
>Seachan cut
but they are literally 1/3 of the plot
>>70103341
Not exactly

Jesus christ, I read the first book and finished it and not a single cell in my body gave a fuck about continuing. I can't wait for other people to finally realize how fucking SHIT wheel of time is.
>>70103390
But Taim is one of the forsaken and Logain is a fucking hero.
>>70103508
When is it revealed that the old world was super advanced.
I'm in book 6, but I assumed this from the beginning
It will be amazing.
GoT - political drama and intrigue + knights killing each other with very light supernatural/magical stuff in the background
WoT - EPIC fantasy,trollocs, god-like powerful characters and magic is ever present 24/7,knitting,battles numbering in the hundreds of thousands,braid tugging,strange creatures, sand ninjas, you name it.
Both are awesome, but WoT is on another level. Pretty much the only contestant to LotR in the genre.
I'm waiting for some additional info to drop in order to start making daily threads. Best show of the year, all years. HYPE.
>>70103546
>Being this much of a pleb
>>70103503
Any chance tuon won't be played by Isabelle fubrman? They can't cut seachamn for her alone. Also we would miss ewgenes one badass moment of defending the tower
>>70103632
The budget will determine everything. Don't get your hopes up.
>>70103704
They won't dare soil the WoT with some cheap knock off Xena style, like The Sword of Truth.
This will be on GoT level MINIMUM.
>>70103764
>They only do the Eye of the World
>It's franchise continuity problems are on par with Eragon
>>70103635
NERD
it's just LOTR recycled, badly, fuck you
>>70103831
Dude its a TV show. With all the books already published they will know at the very least what they can't change without fucking up future plotlines.
>>70103831
That's fine. It will be successful, so we shall get more books in later seasons. Once the ball starts rolling it is inevitable.
WoT has the most rabid fanbase and Jordan's wife is crazy about his legacy.I want to see Dumai's Wells done right and I can die a happy man
>>70103694
a high chance, since Tuon was black
>>70103341
Time is cyclical. There are seven ages that repeat endlessly with different permutations. By the time the same age comes again, it's been so long that all is forgotten.
It's hinted that this is actually a future/past earth.
There is an entitiy that exists outside of time and space that was accidentally unleashed on the multiverse who seeks to end the cycle and terminate everything -- but it's also implied that the uncovering and re-imprisoning of this threat is simply part of the ongoing cycle.
The cosmology of the world is strongly dualistic.
There's an ultimate creator and an ultimate un-creator.
Positive and negative, yin and yang, male and female etc, two halves of the one power, etc.
Wheel of Time is aimed at the Harry Potter audience, not the Game of Thrones audience.
>>70103999
No she wasn't. Show me one piece of evidence from the books
This shit is being made into a series but still no Black Company.
Fuck this world.
>>70100617
Too bad the books went to shit. Also, since it's a show based off of fantasy books, it's guaranteed to be horrible.
Wonder who they'll cast for Padan Fain
>they could have picked Steven Erikson, Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson or Scott Lynch
>they chose Robert fucking Jordan
>>70103559
>I'm in book 6
It's the best book. Enjoy it.
There is no way this series will take off with the normies, theres way to many characters to keep track of.
>>70104224
>why did they choose the best fantasy series since LotR
Anon plzI appreciate the good bait tho
>>70104224
I know. Who would have thought they could actually make a good choice
>>70104224
Technically, they did choose Brandon Sanderson
>>70104254
Half will be cut, many of the rest given insignificant appearances, just like GoT
>>70103906
>>70103889
I was just saying that would be bad
I forgot to add this image
I'm glad it has a rabid fanbase because I don't want it getting Game of Thrones treatment (circumstances are quite different, so we stand a fair chance).
>>70104073
Nah, I think the series is more aimed at both.
>Adult aspects
>Not explicit enough to make it inaccessible for kids
>>70104174
Fain will be played by Steve Buscemi
>>70104315
>>70104254
Double edged sword.
>Might need the normies for views/funding (unless the wife does it strictly so that it has a show adaptation)
>A large and basic/normal enough audience eventually ruins a once niche product by shifting it from what made it good
Can't wait to see Rand putting them bitches in their place
Dare I say it for real?
I just hope the trollocs dont look too fake.
>>70104437
>Rand giving the Aes Sedai shit for being stuck up bitches
>>70104437
>bitched at and led around by the nose for the first few books
>has a few moments of manly lucidity
>then constantly bitched at and strongarmed later in the books
I think you're talking about the wrong guy, mate.
>>70104437
'Rand is pussy whipped to the extreme.
Also, considering Harriet will have full control, prepare for a SJW/PC version fo WoT. It is not avoidable, so deal with it now.
>>70104101
literally every time she's described in the books it's "dark" or some type of synonym.
dark != white, ergo she's black of some varying degree.
>>70104437
>Cadsuane, do you believe that I could kill you? Right here, right now, without using a sword or the Power? Do you believe that if I simply willed it, the Pattern would bend around me and stop your heart?
I don't care how edgy this is, I loved it.
>>70104101
>>70104643
I imagine her more... think North African/Egyptian.
>>70104643
Not at all, because she's also described as attractive.
>>70104497
He literally fucks tree different women, implies relationships with all three of them, doesn't follow through, doesn't marry any of them, continues to fuck all three of them after they all find out, impregnates one of them (the fucking queen of andor), still fucks all three of them, refuses to settle on any of them.
In the end they agree to 'share' him and he has absolutely no commitments to any of them. None whatsoever.
And he still fucks all three of them. In fact, they beg to hop on his dick whenever he happens to be in town.
>>70104643
I just imagine Japanese, since that matches the seanchen style and japs are dark skinned (and Jordan probably thought it would be too racist to describe slanting eyes)
>>70100617
Great, what's it going to be - 26 seasons?
>>70104732
I imagined her light skinned desu guess I figured wehy would Artur hawkwings decsentant be black?? Next your going to tell me the aiel are not arab
>>70104982
You know many ginger arabs?
>>70104876
>and japs are dark skinned
Are you fucking with me right now?
>>70104954
A season a book. Then when they hit book7 just half or quarter of a season until book 11
>>70104982
The Aiel are not arab. No such thing exists in Randland.
Tuon is described as "dark", so make your own conclusions.
>>70105056
That can work, age won;t be an issue.
>>70104876
The seanchan aren't exclusively Japanese.
Robert Jordan went on record as saying that they more or less have Texan accents.
Like all of his cultures, they're a mish-mash of a few things.
On one hand, they're imperial japan/china.
On the other hand, they're new world colonist come back to europe to fuck shit up.
Tuon is also explicitly described as brown and thin.
She's probably somewhere between east indian and ethiopian or something.
>>70102164
Epic fantasy series. Focuses heavily on cyclical nature of life and the universe, hints of Eastern philosophy. Also focuses heavily on prophecy and how easy it is to misinterpret it.
Huge world with lots of characters and detailed history
Complex magic system
Multiple POV characters so you can pick your favorite flavor
Series is complete
Major downside for many people is that Jordan wrote his female characters in a very different way, many people think they come off as unrepentant cunts for a majority of the series. Explained in-universe as a world that is matriarchal rather than patriarchal for reasons. A handful of the female characters are likeable, though a few get better as the series progresses.
>>70104982
>aiel are not arab
They literally have carrot tops. They're red-headed dessert descendants of irish traveling people.
>>70105105
Well fuck me then I guess. Ehh still my head canon and I won't be changing it
>>70105046
On average yes. They can be pretty light skinned but they can also be pretty dark. Not 'black' but sort a light shade of Indonesian.
>>70104846
>that time two of them helped the other fuck him
>>70103237
There is a literal metaphysical 'wheel of time' that weaves the threads of human life together into a pattern.
Series focuses heavily on cycles of time with the suggestion if not outright declaration that events have already happened before numerous times, with slight differences.
>>70103559
Mostly revealed in The World of the Wheel of Time supplementary book
>>70102164
Very long, splits off into about a million stories, half the characters seem to have multiple apostrophes in their names, books started to suck from about volume 8. The first few were great, but after a while you needed real commitment to be bothered to keep reading.
>>70105269
Worth reading? And how about the prequel? I miss the series and need more
>>70100617
GoT isn't fantasy. It's political drama in a fantasy setting. Much like Dune is to sci fi.
Wheel of Time is shit. Theres nothing interesting at all, like the hack that wrote the Drizzt Dourden stuff, its basically some guys DND fantasy.
>>70105275
>start to suck from volume 8
It starts going downhill right after book 2, but then you get to book 6 and some shit actually happens and you have this hope that maybe now it'll get better again.
It never gets better.
>>70105390
Whatever you have to tell yourself.
>>70102084
Dumai's Wells ftw
>>70105212
You'll be annoyed when they cast her :)
>>70103559
>>70105269
There are several flashbacks in Rhuidean that show it, also that museum in Ebu Dar iirc had some interesting items from the Age before the Age of Legendslike a mercedes car emblem
>>70105306
The prequel is legit. Shows some nice moments between Lan and Moiraine. Also, nice depiction of the Aiel wrecking Cairhien when the mad king cut the tree to make a throne.
>>70105405
>It never gets better.
Such a shame after a really great start.
>>70105479
Not really. I'm not asking anyone to accept it. I understand people thinmk of the character differently
>>70105507
The first 6 are fine, with the 6th my personal favourite. Then it gets slow and boring, but readable. It really turns to shit when Sanderson takes over, but his first book was all right since half was written by Jordan.
>>70105479
Alright thanks I'll check it out. Be worth it if it can make me forgot the awful eleventh hour twist of morriane and thom
Man, the cancer with "best girl" threads will be biblical when WoT airs and gathers some audience on /tv/.
>>70103165
Eelfin and Aelfin
Rand goes to Rhuidean
A breaking in the three-fold land
Moraine on the docks Cairhein
Dumai's Wells
And that's just through book 6
>>70105643
>best girl
>WoT
No such thing, any episode that involves the girls will (much like the chapters that revolve around the girls) be absolutely insufferable to plod through.
>two Egwene chapters in a row followed by a Nynaeve followed by an Elayne
>flip through the book
>600 pages until you find a chapter that has a somewhat likable character in it
>>70103165
>>70105652
I like this, lemme see.
1. Dumai's WellsI read the 6th book in a single day, no sleep until I had finished it
2. Seanchan attack the Tower
3. Rand vs. Turak
>lets see what it takes to be a Blademaster on this side of the ocean
chills...
>>70105390
>Dune is to sci fi.
I classify dune as speculative fiction.
It's not concerned with specific technologies (like a lot of crappy sci-fi), but it makes a lot of astute observations and speculation on the long-term survival of the species on epoch-length time scales.
Herbert has a LOT to say about evolution, environmentalism, reliance on technology, trans-humanism, religion, politics etc.
To him, it doesn't make sense to confine speculative fiction to only the hard sciences -- he involves everything from earth sciences to history, to social sciences, and psychology in his work.
I think this makes his novels a lot more balanced and probably more prophetically accurate than explicitly tech-focused science fiction.
>>70100617
Please, enough fantasy shit.
>>70105815
>Let's see what it takes to be a blade master on this side of the ocean
Completely forgot about that.
Very exciting
>>70105708
>No such thing, any episode that involves the girls will (much like the chapters that revolve around the girls) be absolutely insufferable to plod through.
But they'll be hot.
>>70105643
>>70105708
We all knowNynaeveis best girl.
Don't even try to argue this, the others are shit, SHIT.
>>70105643
Aviendha is best girl.
>>70105561
Sanderson was acceptable not great but at least he finished it relatively quickly and got the characters to where Jordan wanted them
>>70105913
but she doesn't become best girl until near the end
>>70105913
>Not having a tall Aviendha fetish
>Not wanting a green Aes Sedai to faun over you as you self-insert as Matt
I want to spank Rand
>>70105913
Nynaeve as best grill
Followed by min
Then aviendha I guess. Hierarchy gets very debatable from that point on
>>70104224
Malazan in the style of Heavy Metal with music and all would be amazing.
>>70105860
>I classify dune as speculative fiction.
Then you're a retard.
Do you "speculate" that in the future there is likely a planet with giant sandworms and a spice that will make you immortal?
>>70106018
>self-insert as Mat
>not having a Tylin rape fetish
>>70106108
Yes
Why not just make it an anime? A lot of the things in the books would be impossible to do live action.
>>70105890
Absolutely.
Possibly spoilers for the bro that hasn't finished the series.
There were so many I forget... the Horn, Rand vs. Be'Lal, wrecking the Seanchan with Callandor.. oh oh wait... remember the Myrddraal fight in the Fal Dara dungeons from the first book? That was insane, the Fade butchering a dozen soldiers, about to kill Rand and then one of the Shienar... was it Ingtar? pulls out his sword with "fight me Fade"
>>70105974
True, but the way he got them there was bland, uninspiring and out of character.
>>70105969
>>70106018
Aviendha a shit
>dirty, smelly, unkempt proto-feminist savage
>>70106108
He speculated that over-reliance on technology would cripple us to the point of near-extinction and that we would need to force ourselves to evolve and train ourselves past that if we were to survive.
He speculated that even on a galactic scale, reliance on a single resource would put all the species eggs in one basket, and leave us vulnerable to extinction.
He speculated that given improved mental faculties through eugenics and extreme training to make up for a lack of technological crutches, we would become better and better and modeling future predictions and therefore at manipulating our futures on longer time-scales.
He speculated that extracting resources without giving any heed to the planet they we take them from would probably bite us in the ass
He speculated that artificially controlling social phenomena like religion is not only possible, but a great route to power.
He speculated that FTL travel without FTL communication would result in a feudal state.
I could go on.
>>70106220
>The Wheel of Time
>Anime
>All of that tsundere transferring perfectly into the medium
There is no way the tv show is going to be good.
I like the books and all, but GoT was a miracle and WoT is even harder to adapt. Half the appeal of WoT is the magic and spectacle. Spectacle which costs serious dosh.
No tv budget could make a Wheel of Time adaptation anything other than Legend of the Seeker 2 : Electric Boogaloo
The books fucking suck. The first one is good and everyone got worse and worse until I stopped. I hear Brandon Sanderson did a decent job salvaging it. It's nearly unreadable after the 4th book.
This show will bomb hard.
>>70106519
>Legend of the Seeker 2 : Electric Boogaloo
>>70106107
I don't really care much about Malazan, but I would watch the hell out of a season that focused on Coltaine's march.
>>70106236
>Rand vs Bel'al
All I recall of that is based Moiraine shadowflaming him to hell out of nowhere.
Rand vs Asmodean with the little epilogue from Lanfear will be the best Forsaken fight imo.
>>70105561
Except book 12 is one of the best of the series.
>Not enjoying Darth Rand blasting bitches with balefire
It will be a Shannara kinda TVSHOW, not GOT.
Last Scene season one: The name adoptation of Moraine (because there is no way in hell the showrunners are keeping those names) reads in a book. Slowly looking at the words as they describe the protagonist. A reveal moment where she says "he is the chosen one"...but wait, its more. A total last scene from Shayol Ghul. From the dark ground suddenly a fist breaks through before we cut to black, and whole summer fans will discuss which one of the forsakens hand it was. (The radical one will say it was The Dark One himself)
Season 2 mid-season cliffhanger: Rand will meet Merlyn who died earlier in season (if not written out entiarely) Last scene will be a panorama views of thusands of boats setting sail towards Randland.
Season two ending will be about many people kneeling, declaring Rand the dragon reborn. The big talk from the nerds will be what characters we saw in the mist when the horn was blown. The last scene will be from the the tear where to mysterious people talks. In the background we can see the Callandor. FADE TO BLACK.
After season three it will all be a clusterfuck and problably cancelled
>>70100617
Wait wasn't a movie supposed to be in the works ages ago?
I remember Jordan saying something about Universal having a script?
>>70106848
It was his first real fight 1 v 1 with a Forsaken I believe, so it made an impression on me.
>best Forsaken fight
I honestly can't decide. I always expected something better in the next book, etc.
Rand vs. Rahvin was pretty cool. Asmodean... Samael... Ishamael too. Never liked the female or tranny Forsaken.
>>70107115
He wanted it, but it was a shitty company that sat on the rights to produce the series for TV/Cinema.
In the biggest dick move ever they actually produced and aired ONE episode of TWOT (Starring Billy Zane) so the condition for the rights would still be in their hands.
>>70101838
>not when they enter the ways for the first time
It gives them a legitimate excuse to actually change things from the source material for once, imagine if Rand had married Egwene
>>70107193
Nah it was like a 15 minute prologue featuring lews Therin after he went mad and killed his family. Didn't edvn bother to get to the point where they introduce rand
>>70107314
It wasn't half bad desu
>>70103632
Which is why it should have been something in the scope of the Potter series 8 movies along with a great OST

>refused to accept his wolf self for so many books, caused the deaths of many poor wolves
Perrin a shit, worse than Rand. At least Mat tried to do right by people.
>>70108830
Very true, but leading up to that there was a LOT of
>muh Faile
Regardless, who would you cast as him? In general, casting suggestions? I'm especially interested in the Forsaken. I think you need a solid group of character actors to represent at least a few of them.
>>70108830
literally the most boring of the trio
>muh quiet stoic type
>m-muh wolves
>just tagging along for the plot
there is absolutely no way to depict One Power waving that won't make it look like a cheap saturday morning cartoon
>>70108924
Rereading the books right now, and I agree 100%. Perrin is a true shit character, he's just as bad as Elayne or ny of the random aes sedai bitchess
>>70109384
You know what peeves me,we never see a yellow or White POV
>>70108910
>Tugs braid
>>70108940
Not sure who to cast...
Someone with Wolverine's hair genetics and a little more height. Then, train them to do shrugs
> Tits
> Fetish play
> Low sci-fi elements
> Dragons to make it recognisable
This is what the fantasy genre has become.

One acts like a cunt and lords it over people because she's an Aes Sedai and really good at healing. She then proceeds to heal every once in a while, interspersed with some subtle and not-so-subtle sass about how if they were as capable as she is they wouldn't need this healing.
The other acts like a cunt while twisting logic to tell someone why they're not right. They then proceed to denounce men as irrational while completely ignoring the hourly bitchfits each and every Aes Sedai, Accepted, and Novice throw.
Did I miss anything?

I can't imagine how TV will adapt the comedy of Mat accidentally forming an elite army in the middle of a fierce battle as he's simply trying to run the fuck away.
Game of Thrones: Shit
Legend of the Seeker: Shit
Shannara Chronicles: Shit
>hey, this wheel of time show sounds good
Yeah, right.
>>70104101
Tuon is repeatedly described as having tightly curled black hair, full lips, and dark skin. Winter's Heart chapter 14, Crossroads of Twilight chapter 3, and more.
>>70111415
That's pretty unfair, man. I'd much rather watch actual shit than Legend of the Seeker.
>>70104876
>Jordan probably thought it would be too racist to describe slanting eyes
He calls them tilted. Tuon's eyes aren't tilted (like Faile's), and they're described as large.

it's kinda like how we all know republicans are the ultimate evil but democrats sometimes do really fucked up things so they can win and make things better
So... been thinking of rereading the series. Anybody know how the audiobooks are?
>>70112336
>Being so blue-pilled that you don't understand the true factions are authoritarianism/libertarianism or bureaucracy/capitalism
>>70112465
Listening to them now.
The readers give unique accents to each character so it's easy to track who is who.
Definitely recommend
>>70112465
The woman mispronounces things and the man frequently stresses the wrong words in sentences. It's okay though. Robert Jordan liked them. He said WoT contained a touch of oral tradition based in the almost musical story-telling tradition in the South, and the audiobooks were the only way he would ever "read" his own material. Jordan is the one who insisted on the gimmick of a guy reading male POV and a girl reading female POV.
>>70112771
Oh wow, neat. I didn't know he did a thing like that. For some reason, I can't take a man doing a female voice for an audiobook seriously. It's instantly cringe. No matter the talent. I got through LotR's okay because the guy basically didn't even bother. I sampled the Expanse and had to nope the fuck out. Curiously, a woman doing a mans voice doesn't bother me in the least. Go figure.

I actually started reading this series for the first time. It's a good book so far but holy shit Rob goes on too long times about superfluous shit.
Also I don't think a show would work if there is 14 books of material.
