Mostly because of those four supporting characters towards the bottom of the poster.

I wonder why

Did Roseland pike show any yummy tatas? I have had so many youtubers recommend the magic system as the best in a fantasy series.

it didnt follow the plot of the books
invented a wife for perrin just to kill off at the start of ep1
gave plot points to worst girl egwene away from other characters
had speeches form deep in the series throw into season 1 in places where they made no sense
turned it into a vehicle for moiraine not the young characters
"anyone of them could be the dragon, even the girls"
removed the gendered aspect of the magic system
tried so hard to be GoT if the symbolism but it just didnt work
all the gay wardern shit like Lan twisting his nipples as the 'designated griever'

AND thats not even needing to mention race bullshit

So Moiraine is the main character, kind of like Gandalf and she is fighting the big bad, the dark one. So she needs to find the Dragon, who might be a boy or girl, but she has it narrowed down to like the 5 young adults from a rural village. And guys aren't allowed to use magic because they fucked up the world previously and destroyed it, so if the Dragon is a guy then it might mess up her plans? And then I guess there is the Forsaken which they are kind of like the 13 ghosts of Scooby Doo, they escaped from their sealed prison and the good guys have to hunt them all and capture and put them back into the magical prison. And in the meantime the Aes Sedai is out there trying to fix the world but they have a lot of corruption and they are losing because the Dark One is growing stronger.

Not just the magic, the setting itself. Remember, when the Dark One wants to punish the Forsaken who died to Rand or others, he reincarnates them as the opposite gender.

>>221260862
only one, Graendal he makes old and ugly

>On the 2025 panel at Worldcon, Brandon got asked a question about hard magic systems and how he creates them. George jumped in and went on a ten minute rant about how hard magic systems are dumb, he hates them, no one wants to read them, and you're a questionable author if you write them.

>>221260897
>What's even unique about it
does everything have to be unique to be good? the first book is a literal rip off of lotr's shire because thats all the publisher wanted to publish for fantasy, but it grows into its own and is a very comfy setting with great characters and moments.

basically long time ago a great wizard The Dragon fought against the great evil and sealed it away but it tainted the male half of magic causing male wizards to destroy the world, two thousands years later the seal is weakening and The Dragon is reborn because souls are reincarnated in a great cycle and the fabric of the universe is also sentient and nudges things in its favour(this is called being Ta'veren). because male wizards are tainted and slowly driven insane, women have taken over and basically formed the medieval catholic church, one of which is searching for The Dragon Reborn to control him and save the world

>>221260897
As a book series it probably created 90% of the modern tropes and styles of modern fantasy.

>>221260965
based, they are dumb. give magic structure sure but Sanderson turns it autistic and reddit cringe. WoT is a good example of it done right and its basically soft, powder mage is another(people can control gunpowder in different ways such as bending bullets or setting it off at a distance)

GRRM always seems really salty on panels. I don't know if he was like this years ago, but all the recent ones he has been on going back the last few years, he's kind of been a dick. He takes chippy little potshots indirectly at his fellow writers.

There is a protagonist in Rand but main character kind of misses the point of having Ta'veren be a thing at all. The wheel weaves around our protagonists pulling people including them into situations they would otherwise not ever fall into themselves while still giving them the choice of how to act. That little nuance is why despite not being Ta'veren the girls in the story still end up moving the world with them towards what is needed by the end.
Moiraine is the main inciting incident but trying to force her into being the main viewpoint undermines a lot of the overall choices that everyone else makes to deal with their situations in the long term. Also really undermines the reason rand doesn't destroy the dark one at the end or his revelation on the mountain.
Knew it was going to be shit when they didn't do the opening scene between Lews Therin and Ishamael.

i read up to shadow rising as a kid and then in college saw someone reading the first sanderson book. i asked what he thought and if he would recommend finishing and he said honestly no, it really doesn't get any better and mainly feels like a waste of time. i followed this advice and have no regrets.

>>221261148
Anyone who would answer a question asked of someone else is definitely huffing their own farts.

>>221261318
he does a good job finishing the story but its clearly a lot of sanderson in those books. imo if you like the series its worth it but if you're burnt out id understand not wanting to

>>221260431
It not being canceled after one season is proof there is no God. It being canceled is proof God is merciful.

Moiraine was supposed to be a young character. She was famous for her youthful appearance and short stature. So of course pedowood had to turn her into a man faced giant.

My mom is making me watch The Chosen with her. It's supposed to be a "serious" telling of the story of Jesus. Half the cast are indians, big chunk of lunchtime rowdies. In ancient Isreal, I'm sure that's biblically accurate.

I never read the books, I did watch the series and kind of enjoyed it. A friend of mine said they really butchered Lan. That he is supposed to be this greatest of his generation legendary fighter. I didn't really get that from the show, he seemed to get beat up a lot. Like season 2 in the first episode he gets fucked up badly by a couple of the faceless dudes.
My friend told me in the first book he killed 2 of them simultaneously without any difficulty, at night while they were fleeing to that cursed place.

>>221261561
Mierin (female Aes Sedai at the time, better known in the books as Lanfear) was a researcher drilling holes in reality looking for a superior magic to the One Power. Together with a man (Beidomon, who was smart enough to commit suicide when he realised what he had done, meanwhile Mierin switched sides) she drilled a hole right into reality, out of reality, and into the prison of the Dark One, Shai'tan, the Father of Lies.

So, men sealing the Dark One is really just fixing a fuckup caused by Mierin. Who, despite being acclaimed as the most beautiful woman in the world, and the strongest female channeler ever, was an absolutely toxic bitch forever seething that she didn't get enough (in her opinion) recognition, and seethed even harder at how Lews Therin, the greatest Gigachad of all history, dumped her bitch ass to marry and have half a dozen children with a hot blonde tittymonster.

>>221261433
The women did have their own plan, which was to use the Choedan Kal sa'angreal to create a giant Wall of the One Power around the hole drilled into the prison, and keeping the Dark One from advancing further until they had a new plan.

That said, it was rife with potential problems:
>access keys for the giga-sa'angreal were lost and couldn't make new ones
>Choedan Kal had never been used, literally completely untested and could nuke all reality (and as we see in the books, someone misusing them or losing control for an instant could indeed melt the entire Pattern)
>they require immensely powerful channelers just to handle the strain of using them... and for any length of time using them there is a serious risk that physical exhaustion alone will kill you in less than 24 hours, and physical exhaustion plus needing to control and wrestle saidin (the male half) at the same time is an incredibly stupid idea
>concurrent to the above, you couldn't just tie off a Wall weave, since knotted weaves can be burst it would have to be maintained perpetually
>behind the Wall the Dark One could keep expanding his influence, and then reach out and touch the world, and the Wall, which would be made with both halves of the Power and thus let him fuck up both
>it was agreed even by the women that no plan would work unless they could access the original hole where the prison was drilled anyway... which would be behind the wall

The wall plan was a fucking dumpster fire,, and it's utterly bizarre that anybody thought it would work. None of the men did (and you'd need a 2-person link for the Choedan Kal with a man leading anyway), which is why they advanced their Hail Mary of "we slap a patch on the Bore with seals made of indestructible metal that a black hole wouldn't break" where the ONLY problem was that the Dark One might be able to counterattack if they weren't fast enough.

The male plan was a shit sandwich. But the female plan was completely fucking retarded.

>Question: The show is really born out of your passion for the books, but clearly you guys weren't afraid to change details or shift characterizations. I wanted to ask you about some of those changes specifically, starting with something I was just talking about with Josha. When reading the first book, you basically always know that Rand is the Dragon Reborn, because it's almost all told from his first perspective. But the show made the Dragon's identity more of a mystery and even suggested it could be Egwene (Madeleine Madden) or Nynaeve (Zoë Robins). What did you like about doing that? Will the show continue with the ensemble feeling even now that Rand is revealed as the promised hero?
>Rafe: Yeah, that was the whole idea. A lot of the changes we're making in our adaptation are to serve the series as a whole more than just the first book. The Wheel of Time is interesting because it's like the opposite of Game of Thrones. With Game of Thrones, the first book is a perfect television season, and then it becomes much more disparate the deeper you go into the books. Whereas Wheel of Time starts out in a way that's hard to make a clean adaptation for TV, but then as you get into the later books, it really is built along a clear, clean TV structure of an ensemble story. I don't even think Rand has the most POV chapters in the books overall. It's very much an ensemble, even though the first book is not. So we really tried to make the season have that feeling from the whole book series of being a real ensemble piece. We made a lot of changes in the first season to make sure that you could see all the stories of the five main leads.
>I don't even think Rand has the most POV chapters in the books overall.

>>221260431
the books themselves were never popular outside of fantasy litfag circles, so there was little to no brand recognition. And when you entirely butcher the story lore and characters to force even more woke libtard bullshit into it, that small number of people who ARE familiar aren't going to go running to their friends and shilling it to them. It's a case of complete and abject mismanagment

>>221263219

You're delusional nigga. In the 90s and early 2000s WoT was in the top 3 fantasy series that people were aware of. You can't go by 2020s logic when even at the height of the show's "popularity" WoT wasn't even in top 20 probably, anymore.

Fuck you for reminding me this shit exists. I had just started to enjoy life again. Fuck Amazon and Rafe Judkins forever for this abomination. One chance EVER to get an adaptation and they make fan fiction garbage that doesn't even resemble the books if you squint.

Nothing will ever match LotR, but of those that try, only Wheel of Time gets anywhere close.

Meme answer:
Invented haremshit but unlike other haremshit it wasn't written by a virgin but by a Nam vet that achieved the harem ending irl.

>>221263531
for sure, and the entire world literally revolves around rand the entire time. his pull on the pattern causes nations across the entire world to colapse without him ever even stepping foot there

>>221263466
And who was reading fantasy novels in the 90s outside of fantasy litfag circles?

Leftist simps are the second worst thing ever

>>221263219
He's a fucking idiot. As others have pointed out, Rand has the most POVs. But not only that, he is the driving force of the entire narrative. Even the other character storylines are all largely focused on Rand and the repercussions of his actions.

I'm pretty sure that's accurate.
The big fuck up I remember was that men and women could see the other gender's weaves.

>it didn't follow the plot of the books

You'd think a fantasy novel where the moral of the story is men and women having to work together would be a slam dunk. It's bad enough they add shitty dialogue, pointless OC characters and invented nippleplay scenes, but I'll never understand the hubris of showrunners who take a beloved story and think to themselves "I know better."

>>221264771
In the books the Power is often described as "flows" or "weaves" so that visualization isn't off. It's just that normies can't see or sense the One Power until it manifests in some observable phenomena, and a lot of the magic battles in WoT involve two channelers trying to "shield" one another, that is, to cut the other channeler off from the One Power with an invisible barrier that prevents them from doing magic.

These are some of the most intense, high-skill duels in the series, and to normals watching it's just two people frowning at each other.

>>221264971
It's because WoT is very strict about sexual dichotomy, to the extent that the fundamental power of the universe is divided into exactly two parts: male and female, which exactly correspond to physical sex. The only time we ever see a person using the opposite power is when the Dark One reincarnated them as the opposite sex, and this is treated as an abomination by literally everyone.

They act initially like it's a typical fantasy settling, but as the story goes on it becomes apparent that it's actually a post apocalypse setting. It used to be a scifi world, but some ultimate construct of evil waged a war with genetic mutants and abominations and nearly ended it all, until he got curbstomped by men, who ended up sacrificing the mental health of all males to do so. Naturally the women gaslight the world so no one remembers.

Extremely based. Hard magic systems are basically anti-magic; not in the sense of annihilating it (although...) but in the sense of being the opposite of magical.

Even when magic works the way someone wants it to, they should be wrong about why it's working or why it works should actually be out of their hands. When magic becomes understandable or consciously controllable, ESPECIALLY when it can be controlled by fucking INDIVIDUALS, it becomes no longer remotely anything close to magic. It's just a way of adding sci-fi gobbeldigook to settings with fantasy aesthetics. Insanely gay.

Too many faggots raised on D&D these days.

I have played enough FromSoft and red enough Martin to see his grubby hands all over it. Naming conventions are definitely his and plenty of basic story beats, because while FromSoft makes strong depresso, Martin fancies himself chungus subverserino, so he writes tryhard nihilism that barely holds together.
I do believe he had nothing to do with DLC, because even though it is even more defeatist than basic Elden Ring, the flavor is certainly different and more of a FromSoft style.

He just says that because like every faggot boomer with lead-poisoning-induced dementia and retardation he hates everything he cannot comprehend. Not entirely his fault mind you, it was also partly due to the times he grew up in, but the fact of the matter is magic is like radiation to them, it's not something to be understood or explained, it's just an unknowable invisible force that kills you if you mess with it because the man in the tv said so.
It's also hilariously ironic because he says magic should be mysterious and dangerous and hard magic kills that but then his soft magic system world is bleak and almost completely devoid of any actual magic.

>>221274215
>Plus, even with hard magic systems, and clearly established rules and limitations there's always two or three motherfuckers who bypass the rules do to their sheer raw power.
There was one female writer on the panel who explicitly said if you do a hard magic system, please don't do that. She was begging up and coming writers to stick to the hard rules and not use convenient outs for shitty writing.

It's honestly just laziness and/or lack of intelligence. If you are capable of creating a set of hard rules then all it takes is thinking a bit more to come up with multiple potential outs or loopholes to said rules without needing to break them. Could also just be that many people have a system but don't really have a story tailored for said system, so they just toss it into a generic mold and wing it until they inevitably hit a wall and have to break the rules.

The kidnapping arc would've been fine but because Jordan was keeping everyone's timelines in sync with Rand cleansing the source he made it go far longer than it should've from a reader's perspective. You can sort of tell he has this idea in his head that all these things have to happen in a certain sequence but there isn't really a payoff for it for the reader.
Personally I hated the "lets deal with the whitecloaks finally" for Perrin far more since everyone involved had to be hit the with the stupid bat to make it work.

They gave the adaptation to people who not only don't like the source material, but morally object to its core tenets. Of course it was going to be a disaster.

A central theme in WoT is that its world is incredibly strictly split between male and female things, and that these halves need each other but should also stay separated from each other. And the moment the modern brain poison writers saw that they went NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE GENDER ROLES and the whole shit immediately collapsed because it's built entirely on that.

I'm sure in time the taint will fade but its not actually a choice is it? You experience something the first time, in the future a re-experience will draw on that memory, its how experience works.

Well, first of all - original books were shit too. It is just a misery porn, that quickly devolves into BDSM misery porn and stays so up until the death of the original author. And (outside of the final book, written by a different writer) it contains (along with misery) only failure, suffering and other guys from that company.
Now, all that highly-specific shit had been further uglyfied by modern "ideological" ways of making modern media. So no wonder it is a flop.

>>221261087
>WoT is a good example of it done right and its basically soft
I like WoT because it's both. On a basic level it's a hard system, the same weave will always produce the same result and you can logically deduce what powers you need to combine if you want to produce a specific result. However, once you start getting into the really advanced shit with strength levels that are orders of magnitude higher than the typical everyday channeling everything sort of breaks down, the channeler gets into a borderline transcendental, altered state of consciousness and just DOES stuff, kind of like tapping into reality itself.

It's because everyone in the production team was fundamentally opposed to every important theme of the books. I'm not kidding, the show ended up being what it was because it was a deliberate tear down and subversion.

>how do you even find a giant buff asian actor?
You go to Mongolia

I'm 100% certain they only got 3 seasons because it was a package deal like that from the start. They announced both S2 and S3 before the respective previous seasons had even aired, so it clearly was never a matter of viewership numbers whether they got renewed or not. When there wasn't a similar announcement before S3 aired I knew they were in hot water and, if not already cancelled, depended heavily on how well S3 performed, which evidently wasn't enough, no matter how much the show shills tried to gaslight you that it was "finally getting good".

Son did I ever tell you about Shelob....

>>221260965
Is he ever going to write the remaining ASoIaF books?

>>221287244
The book covers shouldn't be taken as gospel, Darrell K. Sweet was notoriously lax with the designs (his trollocs were humans wearing animal head shaped helmets, for example). Lan doesn't even wear full armor like that and should be closer to a ranger in his camo cloak.
>the borderlands always had a vaguely asian thing going on
This has always been a gross oversimplification. The borderlands don't share a common ethnic phenotype, or even a culture, just the location. Shienar is the one with the most east-Asian elements, the samurai style topknots etc, but even they are mixed with European style armor and castle fortifications. Saldaeans are vaguely middle-eastern / steppe. Lan is from Malkier and his striking blue eyes are one of his most prominent features, but their culture has elements from ancient China (poetry) and visual elements from India (the ki'sain). None of this means the people would look Asian, though, which flew completely over the heads of the people making the show, because all they cared about was having the excuse to raceswap White characters.

>Lan was polish(according to jordan)
Jordan said his personal casting for Lan would've been Liam Neeson.

>>221296228
mongolians are short, I'm sure you could find buff ones but you aren't going to find tall ones

If you have read the books but haven't watched the show and wonder just how maliciously bad it was: Bayle Domon had a mustache

>>221296526
idk why anyone says this just because he finished WoT, he has said its far to bleak and graphic for him and he has no interest in finishing the series. Not to mention it would be terrible his WoT books weren't very good him trying to imitate Gurms style would be atrocious

>>221296542
Lan wears armour like that in the blight at the end of the first book.

>>221296603
He does in some occasions, yes, but the book cover is supposed to show the beginning of their journey.

>that's right :)
both of these "people" should be executed

>>221296585
I think anon meant Gurm.

>>221296615
Its a shame they ruined the series. If I had the money Id buy the rights

>>221296632
oh well in that case NO the fat fuck will never finish them ever, he's not even going to write another dunk and egg short story EVER

>>221263219
Every time this fucking fat FAGGOT opened his mouth about the books it became increasingly clearer and clearer that he had never even opened them. Probably just skimmed the wikipedia summary.

>>221296666
nice quads if I had the money I'd make it a cartoon 10-15 eps per season/novel, and do it in the style of dantes inferno

Weep for your adaptation. Weep for what is lost forever.

>>221296615
its been a while since i've read eotw but doesn't he have his armor loaded on mandarb?I could swear he wears it when they confront the trollic fist that moraine destroys with earth weaves and her angreal

>>221296582
Bayle was in the show? when?

>>221296729
I'll take your word for it, because it has been a while for me too. But again, the book cover doesn't show a battle scene and Lan and Moiraine were undercover during the journey, so he wasn't just wearing it 24/7. Also, he was never described wearing a helmet from what I can remember and the ones with the samurai reminiscent armor were the Seanchan.

The only real option is some jap studip buys the rights and makes an anime. Or poorfags can AI slop it

Season 2. He's Moiraine's informant when she's depressed about "losing her powers" (because the Aes Sedai for some reason didn't know what it felt like to be shielded lmao).

>>221296796
>Or poorfags can AI slop it
Absolutely fucking not. That would be the equivalent of those fake realities the Dark One created in the end.

Sorry, hard pass

>>221296796
no not anime fuck that its wrong maybe mappa or witif it was the entire company dedicated to it but only them.

>>221296815
I completely forgot about that and am happy I had, so fuck you for reminding me I guess, it really went out of its way to maliciously fuck with the source material.

>>221266553
The Shining
No Country For Old Men
Blade Runner
Jurassic Park. 50/50 on this one since it’s not the same as the book but the CGI and feel more tha n make up for it.
Shawshank Redemtion
Stand By Me
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. Better flow than the book imo.
Children of Men (Author said so)
Gone Baby Gone
Fight Club
Silence of the Lambs

>added extra content to an already bloated series of books
>didnt understand the book or any of its themes
>show runners and writers hated the source material
I didnt even mind black loial. I did hate black perrin and egweyn. The whole point of them being in the 2 rivers is everyone looks the same in their tiny little town and Rand looks different and stands out and they go out a discover a wider world of different people and cultures

>>221296785
the Malkier were as well, but as has been said everything is jumbled around, Irish arabs, texan japanese etc.

>>221286562
Nynaeve is a naggy and stubborn old hag, wtf
