Holy shit everyone, Variety reports that Sony Pictures Television will produce the TV adaptation of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series.
The series has also set a showrunner: Rafe Judkins, who has written for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Chuck, and Hemlock Grove, will write and executive produce. Other executive producers include Rick Selvage and Larry Mondragon (from Red Eagle), Ted Field and Mike Weber (from Radar), and Darren Lemke. Harriet McDougal will also serve as consulting producer. Blood and bloody ashes.
>Shit books get a shit adaptation Why would you be surprised? Sony TV is usually actually really good. Includes shit like Deadwood
Aaron James
>muh chosen one
laziest cliche of all time

I agree, and if it was translated to a tv series, it would probably suck but jordan was clearly aiming for something mythological rather than realistic. it's all over the books.
Jose Robinson

Michael Roberts
good webm
Lincoln Rodriguez
I too remember when Beowulf was filled with teen angst over whether he preferred a blonde, a brunette, or a redhead and being sad they all thought he was a dumb woolhead.
Camden Brooks
>jordan was clearly aiming for something mythological True, but in point of fact the series was written by a guy named Brandon Sanderson who also wrote Mistborn and Ender's Game.
Samuel Sullivan
>THE WHEEL OF TIME IS BEING MADE INTO A TELEVISION SERIES
Cool!
>Rafe Judkins, who has written for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Chuck, and Hemlock Grove, will write and executive produce.
..O-oo-oh..
Jacob Ortiz
>>implying WoT doesn't explicitly utilize cliche usage as a meta device Hanging a lantern on their plot armor with ta'veren doesn't make it any more interesting to read.
WoT is the bottom of the genre fiction barrel at that. There's far better epic fantasy out there.
Joseph Diaz
That never happens in the series. You're just projecting your own teen angst on to the events which occur. Wow, you're a really pathetic person. I bet you've never even read these incredible novels, you're just posting based on memes you absorbed. Wow.
David Cooper
Fake news from poseur academia scum You probably also believe global warming is real and caused by humans and that the moon landings occurred
Anthony Clark
is this the only likeable woman character
Chase Ortiz
Nah, that was Min. The one that everyone talks about looking and acting like a man. James Rigney had issues.
Jason Gray
Jim Rigney killed (on record) over 1,223 VC. You're posting shit about him on an imageboard when he's dead and can't do anything about it now. Rethink your life, civilian.
Dylan Sanchez
Him killing over 1,000 gooks means he's good with women?
Lucas King
this desu senpai
though I wish Aviendha or Min would reach similar levels of overall usefulness and power
instead we get Elayne complaining that her bath water is getting cold as she inspects Andoran tax records...
Jayden Hernandez
>instead we get Elayne complaining that her bath water is getting cold as she inspects Andoran tax records... AMERICAN TOLKIEN
Samuel Campbell
Read the first 3 books then I got in the period i get into every now and then when I have stop reading for awhile.
I suppose it would be a good time then to reread the first three and the other 10-11 books
Christopher Murphy
>Sony Pictures
Automatically guaranteed to be complete fucking crap.
Thread over.
Joseph Johnson
I know the show will never actually come out, but I like these threads.
Kayden Jenkins
It's going to be shit. It's not being made by HBO or Starz. Just look at the Sword of Truth & Chronicles of Shannara. That's what you'll get.
Jonathan Phillips
The first three books are by far the best, you quit while you were ahead.
Brody Fisher
HBO is no longer a guarantee of quality either. Weird how Starz and even Showtime are surpassing it these days.
Hudson Fisher
I'm ok with them making aes sedai like this.
Evan Brooks
SoT delivered on waifus and fetishes, it was more then we could have hoped for
Gabriel Howard
I'll only watch this show if Nynaeve is actually turned into a horse furry and ridden by Moghedien. Well, that or maybe if they go all in on the bimbofication of Morgase and pretend it's a feminist statement.
Xavier Perry
they can't all have been men, user
Eli King
>Larry mondragon >red eagle I mean come the fuck on, what is it with these people and fake aliases?
Colton Diaz
is there an actual gubment site that keeps that kind of stats? id love it if RJ killed that many VC's
Luke James
And I bet you voted for Hillary, cuck scum.
Angel Powell
>wow >wow wow
Jace Russell
Crossroads of Twilight, everybody.
Jacob Gonzalez
>wheel
its actually a flat circle not a wheel

Andrew Martinez
Min was a plot device and cocksleeve for Rand, she wasn't an actual character.
Robert Williams
>dresses like a man, forcing Rand to be gay >gives Herid Fel blueballs every day until he's ripped to shreds by a gholam, still unsatisfied >handy with knives so you KNOW she's been around >can't even channel Min is worst girl
Charles Wright
>Rafe Judkins >Sony This has got to be one of those Monkey's Paw wishes gone wrong.
Samuel Flores
>forcing rand to be gay You wat now? that makes no sense
Hudson Gomez
Will 'Larry' survive?
Owen Taylor
>dresses like a man I remember way too many scenes where characters force her to dress girly and she rants about how much she hates it, some of them made me think Jordan was probably writing it with one hand.
Carson Sanders

Alexander Cruz
Every time you admire a tomboy you move a notch to the right on the kinsey scale
Ian Lee
I would call her Elmindreda every time I saw her and also open doors for her and throw my coat over puddles just to piss her off. Fuck, I hate Min
Nathaniel Walker
Ok so you'd never fuck a girl wearing jeans? You've got problems m8
Gabriel Williams
Nynaeve and Moiraine a best!
Ryan Martin
What has Starz done that's near HBO quality?
Juan Ortiz
I'd rather watch Ash vs Evil Dead than Insecure
Aiden Jones
Depends on the cut of jeans. Min seems like the sort who would be covered in tattoos and piercings too, would not bang
Leo Ortiz
There are only three female characters in WoT repeated endlessly.
Daniel Miller
Faggot. Best is forcing tomboys to act really girly. Imagine negging Min until she wears the biggest frilliest princess dress in Elayne's wardrobe and is totally miserable but has to pretend to be happy about it.
Brayden Jackson
Return to gentle repose, Jim Oliver.
Eli Barnes
Well we got a pair of jew goblins with GoT and it still turned out alright in the first three seasons, so maybe there's hope
Dylan Richardson
I think the Wheel of Time show is just a money laundering scheme tbqh
Levi Collins
did this happen in one of the books I didn't read? And was Nynaeve supposed to be that stacked?
Landon Hernandez
May Seda, who totally really existed, rest in peace eternally
Jayden Ortiz
>just to piss her off. She'd be pissed but you'd also be turning her on. Are you prepared for that?
Ryder Nelson
I turn on women and gays I don't want to bang every time I take off my shirt at the beach. Doesn't matter to me.
Jonathan Cook
Well turning her on might make her more pissed off I guess.
Isaiah Young
hmmmmmmmmmm
Sebastian Adams
I think Larry mandragon will fight Derek mandored for control of the company
Michael Parker
Who likes Wheel of Time? Is it illiterates? Is it women? Is it refugees? Is it black people? Is it transgenders? Is it otherkin? Is it nonstop party people? Is it homeless? Is it librarians? Is it middle schoolers? Is it Europeans? Is it the developmentally challenged? Is it freemasons? Is it tiny little dogs? Is it LDS elders? Is it betas? Is it otaku? Is it beaten-up victims in hospital beds? Is it moms and dads? Is it practitioners of the art of magic? Who likes this? What is WoT's demographic?
Kayden Young
Teenagers, people nostalgic for their teenage years, and people that never grew out of them.
Lucas Foster
Is it just me or is Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber a much better version of The Wheel of Time?
Carson Moore
It's a much better series but I don't see anything much in common between the two.
Kayden Nguyen
What happens if you DO balefire yourself tho?
John Cox
I only read as far as The Great Hunt. Are the portalstones not a significant plot element?
Julian Cruz
>Are the portalstones not a significant plot element? No.
Isaiah Flores
Well, damb. I wish I could delete my post.
I really wish I could delete my stupid fucking post. Fuck.
Wyatt King
Well, you can't. Ever. You even have dubs commemorating this post lamenting it.
Juan Perez
...
Colton Howard
what happens if you balefire a guy then another guy balefires you?
Wyatt Nelson
last balefirer standing survives
Aaron Ward
nye is short and busty, Lan got /bestgirl/
Joseph Jones
Bestgirl was Lanfear knocked down a notch in her ridiculous new bimbo body.
>tfw you will never find the out and out fetish porn you're sure Jordan secretly wrote at one point
Nicholas Brooks
>ywn have a foursome with Min, Aviendha and Elayne
Jack Gomez
A girl for every fetish. Rand was a lucky man
Adrian Cruz
>tfw no thicc forsaken gf
William Kelly
Aviendha is mai waifu
Anthony Wilson
cydane is 2nd best, give you that, just that pesky insanity issue
Easton Ortiz
>no lanfear yandere gf
Lucas King
Crazy girls are the best in bed plus give you the fantasy that you can change her and heal your broken bird waifu then rule the world together
Benjamin Barnes
Speaking of Jordan's secret writings, >I ghostwrote a novel: an international thriller that shall remain nameless. It's not a bad book, but it is generally believed that somebody else wrote it... so we'll let it go at that. archive.org/download/DragonCon_2005__Robert_Jordan/RobertJordan.mp3
Does ANYONE know which successful international thriller this guy may have ghostwritten?
Jayden Brown
Da Vinci code.
James Walker
I like the way you think, gotta sever her from the True Power tho, only way nurse her back to health
Camden Long
wonder how they'll pronounce Nynaeve
Adam Stewart
>no stilled sad broken former megalomaniac waifu ashamed of her body it hurts
Aiden Johnson
Bourne, or Clancy
Evan Clark
I know Sony has however many different production studios, but at least when a movie starts and I see pic related its usually pretty good.
Camden Rogers
Since you get burned out of the pattern of existence, the balefired person stays un-existed.
Kayden Johnson
Extremely underrated post
Angel Brooks
that's going to fuck me up, it'll be like with ice and fire where the show isn't at all like what I had since i never listened to the audio books
Cameron Harris
diamonds life is suffering, actually had a real life version or close to, ah well couldn't deal with the crazy in the end
