Never read the books but I heard they're good, but after that trailer it looks like some generic teen fantasy that I will be passing on, also looks very cheap.

PS "Two Rivers has been isolated for 1000 year."

Yeah...it doesn't look like it has been /sarcasm Laughing


@Spaceghost1

PPS The books are really good.. The first 1-2 feel like generic fantasy but then it gets much better..

I gotta say..the fade and trollocs look good Very Happy

And there was a decapitation with blood spilled in the first teaser. So at least the pilot will not be PG13...

The black stuff when Logain is channeling saidin is probably their way of showing the taint..

You can rotate the video a bit..

Quote:
Anyone else see Ba'alzamon in the 360 part of the video? Near the saidin part at around 1:47.

Along with some old tongue words.

"modero daghain pas fuente cuebiyar" = "Fear of death holds not my heart"

"Shaidar Aan" = "Dark One"

"Aman Isain Corenne" = "Dragon is return"


And apparently there are more of these..

As a fan of the books(well, most of them), it's a bit hard to review. They have done a lot of minor changes that irritates(many seem pointless, some change the lore in ways i don't like), they made it darker, probably going for some GOT vibes.

Read reviewers saying it feels rushed all the wau(think reviewers got to see the first 6 eps, hard to do 1000+ pages in 8 eps, will se what they cut out i guess.

Overall ok sofar, might actually have liked it better without reading the books.

I watched the first 3 episodes..It was OKeish..

I'm not happy with some changes though...


Some, not all, valid complaints

2) Quite an interesting post from Brandon.

https://old.reddit.com/r/WoT/comments/qy2r52/some_thoughts_from_brandon_episode_two/

It looks like without his consultation the showrunner could have fucked up the show even more ..


PS For now I'd rate it 7/10

I think if you haven't read the books it's fine.

Well, there are some "general" flaws, obviously..But I reckon a non-reader will have a better experience.

I liked episode 4 Very Happy

It had lots of content that was not in the books but surprisingly it was a good episode. I loved the music in the last scenes.

Pretty average show. Too slow at times and 0 character development for the 4.

Now only 2 episodes left. Embarassed


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Yeah. It's pretty average in general and it sucks as The Wheel of Time adaptation..

Amazon fucked Robert Jordan in the ass.. Laughing

Why waste so much time on some crap and non-books characters when you have a wonderful story to tell... So many stupid, lore- and character-breaking changes..

Fuck sake....


How is it possible to ruin something to this degree, im at a loss for words. This show is completely FUBAR'ed.

And they must have used all their budget before the final ep, the battle was atrocius.

This is not Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, this is a travesty

What Rafe and Amazon did to the lore and the story is utterly disgusting and unforgivable..

The first 4 episode were OK\OKeish, but after that it went downhill so fast I couldn't believe it..and the episode 8 was the final nail in the coffin..

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I‘m not going to stain my memories of this awesome tale by that crappy show. Fuck all these producers and writers who think they know better than the original writer. Fucking plebs.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Just look at the Netflix Death Note adaptation.
Death Note is probably the easiest adaptation you could ever make.

But they still changed a lot and fucked it up entirely.

These people just don't get what made the source material good, so they gotta put their own shitty spin on it.

Same with the Ghost in The Shell movie, sure it's not horrible but they could just as easily have made it 1:1 with the original anime movie and it would have been much better.


Ghost in the Shell the original kind of disproves your point since the 1995 movie is not exactly all that faithful to the source material. The movie tried to combine two stories and it did a decent job at it given it wasn't a simple task. All that whitewashing bullshit from the journalists didn't help with its success.
