>Field believes his TV show with Sony, Wheel of Time, may find its moment. The show is set in the distant future when women now rule a universe that has been all but destroyed by the male power structure – “the ultimate gender dynamics series,”
>by the male power structure

Hopefully someone just gave this faggot the synopsis for promoting the show and the people who will actually be responsible for the writing don't fall for this retard filter like him.

>women fuck up so hard it results in men destroying everything and becoming insane
>they continue to fuck up even harder so insane men become a better option

The books are trash anyway, you're all woolheaded

Jordan's "gender politics" are more or less "women and men compliment each other and should work together or things get fucked" and this moron goes for the yaas feminism interpretation.

But it's canon that the reason men broke the world was because the women wouldn't fucking help them and had a strategy of "let's build a giant wall around it and hope the problem solves itself" instead of "let's actually fix the problem".

Jordan smoked so much "Pipe" that he got cancer and died, his theories on anything belong in the garbage

And even if you ignore that entirely it's pure undiluted bullshit to claim that a "male power structure" destroyed the world, when they were literally cursed by the devil.

You know what the problem is really? The only people that read fantasy other than men ARE these fat ugly dyed hair woman's studies freaks.
Plus Nerds are in charge of this crap and cant stand up to women anyway

>women
>want to put the problem in a box and avoid it
>men
>want to fix the problem
What was meant by this?

Don't mind me, just posting a reminder.

>women
>build a gigantic phallus in the middle of a vagina island
What did they mean by THIS?

What the really mind diddler is how we were supposed to believe the two rivers functioned despite having of population of around 12 people.
Two rivers folk would be all starving and inbred so much they would be riddled with hereditary diseases

It was fucked from the start by being based on Wheel of time but this is a special kind of stupid on top of it.

I just hope the sranc don't look too fake.

Well they act pretty inbred.

Two Rivers wasn't that small, plus it included several villages. Emond's Field was just one of them.

The gender stuff was really fun and cute in wheel of time and i really can't see how anyone could try to turn it into some modern politics bullshit. What does he mean about "distant future" though? Have i missed something?

>The books are trash anyway, you're all woolheaded

the age of legends had jetliners and shit, and the mercedes-benz logo crops up at one point

>What does he mean about "distant future" though? Have i missed something?
It's implied that the world is our world in the future, but also in the past (because of lmao wheel geddit). There are old legends in the series that are distorted but can be traced to real events and ancient artifacts like a mercedes hood ornament.

Wasnt the small? oh yeah I'm sure they did a brisk trade of pipe tobacco for turds or whatever the hell they traded for.

>i really can't see how anyone could try to turn it into some modern politics bullshit
You can't see why someone might try to hijack it for this bullshit? Really?

>The gender stuff was really fun and cute in wheel of time
It was completely insufferable. Every character behaved exactly the same way to characters of the opposite sex. "I wish X was here. He really understood women" being thought at the same time as X thinking "I wish Y was here, he really understood women." got old pretty much immediately.

>What does he mean about "distant future" though? Have i missed something?
Time is a wheel so the story of Wheel of Time takes place simultaneously in the distant future and distant past of our world. It's at the start of every book.

I must have missed that but honestly that sounds retarded. I don't get why authors have to try to connect their fantasy world to our world.

>I don't get why authors have to try to connect their fantasy world to our world.
Because Tolkien kind of did it and most fantasy authors (including Jordan) are derivative hacks

David and Leigh eddings did it in their crap books, it seems like a Mormon thing. A lot of these fantasy writers are Mormons, which makes sense as their holy book is basically christian fan fiction

It's not a plot point or anything, just a thing about the nature of the wheel where "every" world is just in a different rotation of the wheel and shit keeps spinning.
Jordan wasn't a mormon though.

Was Robert Jordan also of the Eternal Mormon?

>pic
Meh, Sapkowski did it a lot better while simultaneously not making every character a huge pain to read about

Tolkien did not. He clearly says as much in one of the Forwards to LOTRO.

i am aware that events in this world happened in a cyclic fashion but that seems different that our world being connected to this completely different fantasy world.

oh thought he was, do you think he did fucked up stuff when he was in 'Nam?

Yeah, if that was the case wouldnt they run into artifacts like ancient glass dildos or laptops or some shit?

Sanderson was a mormon iirc, might be why people think RJ was too when they mix the two up.
>do you think he did fucked up stuff when he was in 'Nam?
Apparently Rand being so vehemently against killing women was influenced by his guilt from killing a female vietkong.

That's why I said "kind of".

> in one of the Forwards to LOTRO.
I didn't know Tolkien wrote a forward to Lord of the Rings Online

Those things wouldn't last very long especially in apocalyptic scenarios.

But she was vietkong? what just let her stab you with punji sticks?
You what I think? I think he massacred a whole village dirty johnny style and then came his pants and felt guilty.
This would explain the whole "guy going crazy" storyline

he was a helicopter gunner. probably killed hundreds or even thousands of people

>hundreds of thousands of history has proven women don't build civilization
>thousands of years of history has proven that men can build a civilization, defend it, and prosper
>The show is set in the distant future when women now rule a universe that has been all but destroyed by the male power structure – “the ultimate gender dynamics series,”

I hate this horrible, poisonous propaganda. It's only making people dumber.

Think about it, the women that can already do.
How can anyone believe this shit.

The reason women are in "power" is that magic gives you a massive fucking advantage and the men who can magic were cursed to go insane, which naturally shifted the power balance. Describing this as "world being destroyed by the male power structure" is outright dishonest.

Most of the nations were still at least a bit patriarchal anyway IIRC

yeah know stupid, the only people in wheel of time threads are aware of this.

A lap top is pretty much going to last forever if it goes into the ground, since the whole thing is cased in plastic. Glass also lasts forever if its buried.

HOLY SHIT IT MIGHT STILL GET MADE?!??!

A good bit of the place was literally melting if I remember the prologue of the first book right

It isn’t a huge plot point.

The Age of Legends is argued as the age following ours, or two ages following ours (we are either the seventh age or the first age). The series takes place in the last years of the third age.

This series is not worthy of your autistic ability, go memorize all the names of the Valar or someshit you faggot cuck

They do. Elayne found a long, red, slightly spongy cylindrical object that was activated by fire (a ter’angreal), and it was implied very strongly by Jordan to actually have been an AoL vibrator.

Similarly, there’s a big radiation-emitting thing (based on the reactions of people) up in the borderlands. Nobody is sure what it does in the 3rd age, but it looks like a buried radar dish.

didn't Daenerys break the wheel? I don't get why they are doing this show after that, feels rather pointless.

Or is this a prequel?

Breaking of the World was not hyperbole, user.

Hyper Bowl? tss is that some kinda Fast toilet or sumtin?

Either way, plastic and glass is going to survive a lot better than a shitty piece of pot metal when it goes into the ground. Not everything could have burned, otherwise none of the humans or beasts would have survived.

Quick, anons. Who is best girl and who is worst girl?

Best is Lanfear or Graendal depending on your kinks. Worst girl is Egwene but it's like an18 way tie. There's so many worst girls in that series.

Gawyn is worst girl for not giving up that back pussy

Nynaeve is best and Egwene worst.

Nynaeve best.

Egwene worst.

>Lanfear
>Graendal
Lanfear subbed hard to Lews Therin.

>"If this Rand al’Thor really is Lews Therin Telamon reborn," Graendal went on, settling herself on the man’s back where he crouched on all fours, "I am surprised you haven’t tried to snuggle him into your bed, Lanfear. Or would it be so easy? I seem to remember Lews Therin led you by the nose, not the other way around. Squelched your little tantrums. Sent you running to fetch his wine, in a manner of speaking." She set her own wine on the tray, held out rigidly by the sightlessly kneeling woman. "You were so obsessed with him you’d have stretched out at his feet if he said ‘rug’."

>Lanfear subbed hard to Lews Therin.
Yes, exactly. And she probably liked it. Jordan's sexual psychology is a fascinating and horrible thing.

HAHAHAHA, if any of you thought this had any chance of being good are utterly delusional. I knew right off the bat it was going to be like this with the book's themes. No way they are not going to distort it to pander to the YASSS QUEEN audience.

tbf even a faithful adaptation would suck except for the hour long "girl takes a bath and picks out lingerie" episodes

>Nynaeve is best
>it's a Nynaeve goes on a long rant about men and girl power and how stupid and useless they are except for her HUSBANDO and then gets herself caught in an obvious trap in which some man has to bail her out of
