I just hope the sranc don't look too fake

Wow that's based on an old meme. Really old.

> Sony Pictures

If I care, I'll be crushed once I see it.

>Shit books get a shit adaptation
Why would you be surprised? Sony TV is usually actually really good. Includes shit like Deadwood

>muh chosen one

laziest cliche of all time

>implying cliches are bad
>implying an author shouldn't appeal to the widest possible audience
>implying you've read Poetics
>implying WoT doesn't explicitly utilize cliche usage as a meta device
>implying you've even read WoT
>implying you understand Masonic themes

>Sony

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.

>fan of genre fiction trying to posture
grow up, kiddo

good webm

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.

>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.

>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..

>>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.

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.

Fake news from poseur academia scum
You probably also believe global warming is real and caused by humans and that the moon landings occurred

is this the only likeable woman character

Nah, that was Min. The one that everyone talks about looking and acting like a man. James Rigney had issues.

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.

Him killing over 1,000 gooks means he's good with women?

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...

>instead we get Elayne complaining that her bath water is getting cold as she inspects Andoran tax records...
AMERICAN TOLKIEN

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

>Sony Pictures

Automatically guaranteed to be complete fucking crap.

Thread over.

I know the show will never actually come out, but I like these threads.

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.

The first three books are by far the best, you quit while you were ahead.

HBO is no longer a guarantee of quality either. Weird how Starz and even Showtime are surpassing it these days.

I'm ok with them making aes sedai like this.

SoT delivered on waifus and fetishes, it was more then we could have hoped for

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.

they can't all have been men, user

>Larry mondragon
>red eagle
I mean come the fuck on, what is it with these people and fake aliases?

is there an actual gubment site that keeps that kind of stats? id love it if RJ killed that many VC's

And I bet you voted for Hillary, cuck scum.

>wow
>wow
wow

Crossroads of Twilight, everybody.

>wheel

its actually a flat circle
not a wheel

...

Min was a plot device and cocksleeve for Rand, she wasn't an actual character.

>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

>Rafe Judkins
>Sony
This has got to be one of those Monkey's Paw wishes gone wrong.

>forcing rand to be gay
You wat now? that makes no sense

Will 'Larry' survive?

>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.

...

Every time you admire a tomboy you move a notch to the right on the kinsey scale

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

Ok so you'd never fuck a girl wearing jeans? You've got problems m8

Nynaeve and Moiraine a best!

What has Starz done that's near HBO quality?

I'd rather watch Ash vs Evil Dead than Insecure

Depends on the cut of jeans. Min seems like the sort who would be covered in tattoos and piercings too, would not bang

There are only three female characters in WoT repeated endlessly.

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.

Return to gentle repose, Jim Oliver.

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

I think the Wheel of Time show is just a money laundering scheme tbqh

did this happen in one of the books I didn't read? And was Nynaeve supposed to be that stacked?

May Seda, who totally really existed, rest in peace eternally

>just to piss her off.
She'd be pissed but you'd also be turning her on. Are you prepared for that?

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.

Well turning her on might make her more pissed off I guess.

hmmmmmmmmmm

I think Larry mandragon will fight Derek mandored for control of the company

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?

Teenagers, people nostalgic for their teenage years, and people that never grew out of them.

Is it just me or is Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber a much better version of The Wheel of Time?

It's a much better series but I don't see anything much in common between the two.

What happens if you DO balefire yourself tho?

I only read as far as The Great Hunt. Are the portalstones not a significant plot element?

>Are the portalstones not a significant plot element?
No.

Well, damb. I wish I could delete my post.

I really wish I could delete my stupid fucking post. Fuck.

Well, you can't. Ever. You even have dubs commemorating this post lamenting it.

...

what happens if you balefire a guy then another guy balefires you?

last balefirer standing survives

nye is short and busty, Lan got /bestgirl/

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

>ywn have a foursome with Min, Aviendha and Elayne

A girl for every fetish. Rand was a lucky man

>tfw no thicc forsaken gf

Aviendha is mai waifu

cydane is 2nd best, give you that, just that pesky insanity issue

>no lanfear yandere gf

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

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?

Da Vinci code.

I like the way you think, gotta sever her from the True Power tho, only way nurse her back to health

wonder how they'll pronounce Nynaeve

>no stilled sad broken former megalomaniac waifu ashamed of her body
it hurts

Bourne, or Clancy

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.

Since you get burned out of the pattern of existence, the balefired person stays un-existed.

Extremely underrated post

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

diamonds life is suffering, actually had a real life version or close to, ah well couldn't deal with the crazy in the end
