really on the contrarian ... were going that that line .... Im not going to comment in more detail cause major spoilers but yeah thats an absolutely ridiculous argument here.
What specifically? It's a huge series with a lot of ups and downs. As with most WoT fans, there's plenty to criticize, but the series does come together quite well in the end.
Def. They need to be focussed on.
ah kk
Fantasy Jesus isn't inherently an issue. I'm still on Book 11 myself, but I can imagine where his character is going to end up, and its the most honest and logical conclusion based on what happens and how the world and magic work and coexist with each other. Like right now for me, when I hear fantasy Jesus, I guess it has to do with 2 key things, and people will likely get me when I say this:
I would argue TDR over TGH to be honest when it comes to sticking with the books or not. TGH helps when it comes to convincing people to stick around for Rand, but TDR solidifies EVERYONES character and is the beginning of their specific character arcs. Between Mat, the Trio, Aviendha showing up, Perrin and the Illian breather, The First of Mayene, etc, it just explodes compared to the relatively contained first 2 books.
I think that might work to this series' favor. Bait and Switch with Moraine will keep viewers on their toes when she starts getting a less central role. In fact, it will be interesting if they do give a larger focus to the female characters, the transition from Moraine to Nynaeve/Min/Elayne/Aviendha is gonna fun to see for the resctions.
Me too. I love the series to death despite its flaws. The world building is unparelled, the actual world is fascinating with its larger than life cities(its like a world full of Minas Tirith's and that is what a magic fueled world should be), the contrasting magics of Saidin and Saidar for males and females is one of the most unique styles out there, and everyone is given to actually grow and mature as characters with a lot more failures than successes, which is a damn realistic way to do things.
Eh. 12 at most. Books 1-7 can be solo seasons, but 8-14 can blend into 5 seasons if they have the skills to pull it off.
Oh definitely. I think its going to be a faithful adaption while doing it female central, because the same etory can be told eith stronger characters. In fact have the show base it off the fact that the male protags would be nothing without some feminine strength and support by their side and its golden.
Honestly New Spring should be used as a setup season with her going to Two Rivers at the end. Have the Drangmount prologue also be told as an episode, with her recanting the story with some Aes Sedai.
Well fireballs, lighting, and the more illusory stuff like giant projections and what not can be done as just plain magic, but during Tar Valon and Black tower scenes we can see some of the weave stuff,ike in slow motion or explained as more noivce level stuff because they cannot weave so fast that the magic is instantaneous. Also, weaves and the nature of them being invisble to the opposite nature offers the unique and distinct chance for a Tv show to be able to be filmed with actual focuses on a specific characters PoV. Like it could be an Elayne episode and all the ass pinching magic rand does is invisble, but then you see it being woven by Nynaeve to explain what happened.
Well one of the pluses of a visual medium is that all the description of dresses will be communicated in less time :D
