maybe it will get good in s3
they butchered it since season 1, doubt they could salvage it, or are willing to do changes to be more in tone with the books.
>maybe it will get good in s3
Theres no way they can undo all the dumb shit from s1. Pregnant tiny woman (suppose to be huge) taking out multiple men while in labor will go down as one of the dumbest scenes in cinematic history.
Also they recast Mat because the actor knew it was a pile of shit and dipped
I'm a few eps into S1, but find all the characters insufferable. Had a couple cool action scenes tho.
Should I give it another chance? For reference, I hate feminism and POCs.
>Should I give it another chance? For reference, I hate feminism and POCs.
It only gets worse. The books are pretty good, maybe give them a go if you think there might be an interesting story underneath all the poz, but don't waste your time otherwise.
Okay thanks that's all I need to hear
>It only gets worse
Why do people say that?
The women start in power and the series is about their fall from grace and getting outplayed by rand constantly
The show is nothing like the books.
Dude the show had all the men of the two rivers hide like b***hes while the women went out and killed trollocs. They will not have them "fall from grace."
How are you enjoying the moraine / suane love scenes, because we all know they loved eating eachother out in the books. How about how the dragon doesnt have a gender. Guarentee they add a male character that can channel the female half because he is a troon, guaren-fricking-tee it.
They were pillow sisters, Jordan doesn't go into it in detail but yet it's assumed plenty of the aessedai ate pussy
>Dragon doesn't have a gender
Irrelevant red herring just to stir trannies up, because rand is confirmed dragon at the end of the season
>troony that can channel female half
This is just moronic and there's literally no reason for them to do it since theres a gay ashaman
You clearly don't know any women if you think nobody watched it
Are you attempting to shame that other anon in defence of this garbage, how sad. I've never heard man nor woman speak of this show IRL and you can even look at it's barren reddit page to see there is no fan engagement.
The are no girls on the internet you uneducated mongoloid
my wife thought it was iffy and then was actively repulsed and angered by the finale

Amazon pay production company for TV show
Production company buys Amazon stock

if amazon wanted to do a buy-back they could simply do that without jumping through hoops
It's not a buyback anon.
They're just keeping the money circulating amongst the tribe.

what the frick happened that Hollywood can't scrape together one fricking room of competent fantasy writers, instead of mouthbreathing morons, JJ Abrams acolytes and 40-something feminazis
this has to be a deliberate attempt at destroying the fantasy genre
Writers strike.
Only reason season 1-4 got was good was because of george. And the beat episodes of the show were the ones george wrote himself
it's not about profit. what they want is political influence. they don't care if they lose money.
>what they want is political influence. they don't care if they lose money.
Sorry but wut? It's fantasy and not hyper focused on muh trump like RoP(e). How the frick is it political?
>"it's always been this way goy" hyperdiversity casting
>rewrites Jordan's problematic (ie based) yin and yang view of sex and replaces it with fourth wave feminism
>all men useless, all women infallible
Could probably go into more detail if I really tried but I'd rather not try to remember more about it.
give The Outpost a try it's underrated
Where can I find this one?
Also, not fantasy but sci-fi, but I encourage everyone to check the “War of the Worlds” show Epix is doing. I’m only halfway through season 1, but so far I’m really enjoying it.
Unironically it was trump derangement syndrome. That election broke the liberal writer's brains so hard they were incapable of writing about a fantasy world that didnt directly relate back to the real world. They needed diversity to mimic the western cities, they needed to add women empowerment because me too, they needed to add analogies to trump rallies or those gay alt right tiki torch shit. They just cant fathom a world that isnt current year western society.
>writers
2008 writers strike basically made a new paradigm. Studios and producers take precendent over directors and actors in film. And showrunners and producers take precedent over writers in tv/shows. Obviously there are some vestiges of older generations of A-listers in terms of actors/directors.
Ask a redditor who directed an MCU film and they probably don't know, but they will know MCU and Kevin Feige. Ask them who wrote their favourite episode of a show and they won't know but they will be able to name the showrunner.
They spent most of the budget setting up a production studio in Europe and not on the show. So yeah, tax write off. The accountants say it makes sense, no one cares about how bad the show is.
Amazon now claims that on average 6.6 million people watched the premiere (first 3 episodes) of WoT. I'm calling bullshit, I haven't heard a single person anywhere say anything about this show, like it doesn't even exist
I haven't heard anyone IRL talk about this or ROP
I've heard a few young people talk shit about ROP at church but that's it
i know one other guy who also read wheel of time. i asked him how he felt about the show and he said he liked it. i refuse to even pirate it. the announcements of the cast and writers completely killed any goodwill i had to the series.
I don't think you understand basic math and how few 6.6 million people is compared to a global audience.
600 or 6 million, what's the difference, it's still a lot of people
jej
yeah if a company can get away with lieing they do.
a series with zero ratings like batwoman last like 3 seasons so...
yes they think "building a library" is an "investment" in the "long run"
amazon has a few billion to burn a year. less than 100k people use amazon to watch anything.
I unironically have higher hopes for this than rangz
I hate-watched it for the first season. I’m done. Frick this uggo shitshow
Thanks for supporting the show homosexual.
It has to be. The show is fricking abysmal.
what? this show has 2 seasons already out?
honestly after seeing a couple threads in here I forgot this shit even existed at all.
I am sad for whoever is growing up on these fantasy shows.
they make Legend of the Seeker look like a fricking masterpiece.
Season 2 hasn't even aired yet. They did the same thing as before, they also greenlit S2 before the first one aired.
I liked it
I'm looking forward to season 2
I'm glad s3 is already confirmed
Condensing the bloated books is a good idea, I actually believe it will turn out well
Yes I read them all
I'm staying at least until I see how they handle the asha'men and who they cast
your choice in art mirrors your taste in TV
kys
I gonna watch it, just to see how much they frick up the Aiel. They can't possibly stop themselve from making the desert people black, despite the whole point being that they don't look like traditional desert people. Same thing for sea people being sub-saharian blacks despite being inspired by polynesians culture.
Light I want to keep Moggy barefoot and pregnant.
The first episode was godawful, felt like a corridor digital fan film
They shot half of it in some random creek
i'm writing a fantasy series and if Amazon ever approaches me for an adaption i'll tell them to suck my dick. only HBO can make medieval fantasy shows that people take seriously
More like wheel of trash. The show and the books
Please stop reminding me that this show exists. It fills me with unbearable sadness.
The show started out and it peaked my interest. As it went on it got shittier. Then I looked up the source material and found out the show was deliberately shitting all over it in a way that suggested the writers hadn't read beyond the first book.
As important stuff for the plot and later books was removed and replaced with pointless shit. Then there were a bunch of changes made to the lore that fricked up the plots of later books.
WTF is up with Amazon and being unable to hire competent people for fantasy adaptations?
Sometimes I think Disney is just trying to outspend all the streaming giants. Netflix is steadily going down, HBO max was a failure. Many services will end up being consolidated.
Then I look at shit like Amazon making big fantasy adaptations and ruining them and I feel like they are literally trying to destroy the whole fantasy genre for some reason.
>this stinking turd is the only adaption my favourite book series will ever have
>this is just a tax write-off, right?
Thats cute of you to assume amazon pays taxes. They host all the government servers, so they can do what they want
It gets talked about more than other shows that get more seasons. Why are you so butthurt about this still?
