How will they depict channeling?
>>
Book:
>Before thought she struck out, weaving a hammer-hard flow of Air to smash that face. In an instant the glow of saidar surrounded the other woman, her features change — somehow more regal now, prouder, Moghedien’s face remembered; and startled as well, surprised that she had not approached unsuspected — and Nynaeve’s flow was sliced razor clean. She staggered under the whiplash recoil, like a physical blow, and the Forsaken struck with a complex weave of Spirit streaked by Water and Air. Nynaeve had no idea what it was meant to do; frantically she tried to cut it as she had seen the other woman do, with a keen-edged weave of Spirit. For a heartbeat she felt love, devotion, worship for the magnificent woman who would deign to allow her to… The intricate weave parted, and Moghedien missed a step. A tinge remained in Nynaeve’s mind, like a fresh memory of wanting to obey, to grovel and please, what had happened at their first meeting all over again; it heated her rage. The knife-sharp shield that Egwene had used to still Amico Nagoyin sprang into being, more weapon than shield, lashed at Moghedien — and was blocked, woven Spirit straining against woven Spirit, just short of severing Moghedien from the Source forever. Again the Forsaken’s counterblow came, slashing like an axe, intended to cut Nynaeve off in the same way. Forever. Desperately Nynaeve blocked it.

First half of the series

>>83201045

The women in Wheel of Time are so terribly written. I'm not an SJW by any means but they really lack any depth. They are all just aspects of Rand, which kind of makes sense considering how everyone is kind of strung along due to the wheel of time but their relationships with men are terrible. Nynaeve's relationship with Lan was so offensive to me, it's just totally out of left field, not to mention out of character for Lan. Every woman in the show is shadowed by the their relationship with men.

>>83201161
Magic = power. All the power in the world was ceded to women channelers when the DO tainted saidin.

This is literally how post-suffrage women perceive men in the current age of the patriarchy.

>>83204529
Yes, in that it introduces you to the characters and the world. Though a lot of stuff is fleshed out more over the next couple of books, and will make more sense after you read them. In particular, the prologue of Eye of the World is difficult to understand in context until you have read 4 or 5 of the books.
Also, be prepared for Eye of the World to be Fellowship of the Ring, because it pretty much is. Robert Jordan admits it and intended it to be.

Take for example the Masema situation. Perrin had 2 of the upper tier ashaman with him...at any time they could have grabbed Masema traveled to Rand. Then Rand could have properly dealt with Maseama and his bullshit. Instead, Perrin frets about it so long that Faile ends up killing him out of the blue, solely because the situation drug on way too long and it needed to wrap up before the big finish to the series. Talk to Rand, is a sensible solution.

I've only read New Spring (book 0? a prequel?) and it was pretty annoying.
The atmosphere was good, like how the sights and sounds of the city was described, and the magic shit was neat, but most the characters bugged the shit outta me.
Everyone is so far up thier own ass, ready to pull a knife or some shit if anyone dares to look at them the wrong way, its like they were right out of one of those angsty teenage animes or something.
Can't be any worse than Chronicles of Shannara though, so i'll probably give it a watch because fuck it why not.
>>
>>83205155
New Spring is indeed a prequel, though generally not recommended as the place to start. If I remember correctly, it was written in between books 10 and 11. It largely assumes you are already familiar with the story and characters.
>>
>>83203737
Rand is like 19 at the start of the series, so he'd be in his early 20s at the end. or however old Moridin was I guess
>>
>>83205155
You're not supposed to start with A New Spring. It wouldn't really be interesting or make sense to you without knowing who the characters are. This is why you always read in published order.

>>83204666
Elayne was just the worst. What got me is how she never learned anything. How many times did she walk into an ambush or get captured by Black Ajah in the series? 3? 4? You'd think after the first time she'd be more cautious, and after the second time would stop insisting on going into dangerous situations personally and without suitable protection. But nope. The best part is the last time she does it she's actually pregnant at the time too. She has a fucking legendary hero as a warder and she still waddles her pregnant ass into a trap because she doesn't trust anyone to do anything for her.

What's more infuriating is how they constantly treat Moiraine like complete shit even though she's just Gandalf with tits and has done nothing but try to help Rand and save the world.

While that may be true in the bigger picture you have to remember Moiraine basically just steals some boys from here village at the start.

It is true thought that when she becomes Aes Sedai and starts to act like Moiraine herself she's still refuses to admit she was wrong.
>>
>>83205772
>you have to remember Moiraine basically just steals some boys from here village at the start.
It's very quickly revealed to them all that had she not taken them from the village, they would've been killed or stolen by the big bad and the world would've been doomed.

How the fuck can Nynaeve be mad at her for that? Would she have preferred Moiraine just let them all die and the world end? It's like getting mad at a fireman for invading your personal space when he pulls you out of a burning building.

Nynaeve is a bitch, and thats how bitches are.
Furthermore she is a know-it-all bitch, which just makes things worse, since Moiraine is the physical proof that Nynaeve doesnt know everything not even close. Top that all off with Moiraine being pretty and you have a classic woman hate recipe. For bonus, you could include Lan being Moriane's warder since Lan gets Nynaeve wet.

Nynaeve and Moiraine got off on the wrong foot and just never managed to bridge the enmity between them. Remember Nynaeve is super insecure about being the village Wisdom, everybody always says she's too young for it and is second guessing her so she's always being a hard ass out about everything to assert her authority. Then Moiraine traipses in looking prettier than her and with a natural regal bearing that puts her to shame and addresses her like a young girl, not realizing she was the Wisdom. Basically their relationship never recovered from that. The fact she then spirited the 3 boys out of the village only intensified her dislike, then fact the man she loved was bound to her as a warder, then the fact she was worming her way into Rand's confidences... it just goes on.

Also I have to say that on my second read of the series, Nynaeve became one of my favorite characters. She's just adorable. She seems all hard edges and prickly as a porcupine at first but when you see more sides of her later on you realize its basically all bluster. It puts her behavior in an entirely new light. She's like a tsundere anime character puffing herself up to cover how insecure she is. But at the end of the day, she's one of the most loyal and dependable friends Rand has. That's why he asked her to help him cleanse Saidin, that's why he trusted her even when he was in the grip of paranoid insanity.

Min was bitchy just like Elayne. Cadsuane was just a washed up old cunt who never did anything truly important
>>
>>83205854
>>83206004
Yes but all his wives know he's still alive. Given all the flash-forwards in time we saw we also know that Aviendha must then sleep with Rand in his new body to have the twins. Which was probably what all the prophecy about her pregnancy being "odd" was all about.
>>
posting this because reasons
>>
>>83206236
It's the way it's gotta be though. Channelers have to be enslaved for a few centuries to learn humility before they can eventually rise to exalted status and begin the cycle anew, recreating the Age of Legends and becoming the "Servants of All" once again.
>>
every Rand episode
>woah i'm so smart they'll never see this coming
>ARGHHHH how could this happen to me - help me strong womuns
>>
>>83206330
Except Rand's ideas worked most of the time. What it's actually like is he's nagged at by half a dozen different women for months while he secretly plots and then does his own thing while they all screech at him like harpies and then his plan works and they sulk about it after. The only time Rand's plans don't really work is when a crucial step in the plan is getting a woman to do what he asks. At that point you know it's going to fail, 100%.
>>
>>83206265
Cadsuane was there to finish what Moraine started...trying to get Rand pointed in the correct direction for his real task. It is debatable if she was successful or not, at least in the way she intended. However, she was quite important.
>>
>>83206313
Male channelers were always great. In Lewis Therin's time they actually fought back and got their power source corrupted because the Aes Sedai didn't help. It was said that wouldn't have happened if the Aes Sedai pulled their weight
>>
>>83206389
The Aes Sedai were worthless it was Rand alone who fixed his own mental illness.
>>
>>83206265
> Cadsuane was just a washed up old cunt who never did anything truly important

She may not always have been likeable but she was certainly necessary.

>>83206451
Yes and Cadsuane had a lot to do with him realizing he needed to do something. Even if it was indirectly through bitching at him, it still pushed him to realize he needed to change.
>>
>>83206383
Remember when the women went on a quest for a bowl for three books that ended up not mattering while Rand was going around building his power base, getting male channelers, and hunting down the forsaken
>>
>>83206519
God that fucking bowl side plot. If not for Matt it wouldn't even be worth reading. In fact he could have just done the entire thing off-screen like Fail and Perrin's honeymoon in the Two Rivers and not really missed anything of substance. The only reason we were forced to endure that shit is because Matt was there, and even his charisma couldn't carry that whole side quest.
>>
>>83206519

>>83206425
They got their power tainted and broke the world because they were too impatient to get help from women. They fucked up. Women also fucked up, and continued fucking up for 3000 years by mismanaging the world and being generally terrible at politics.

>Kneel, or you will be knelt.

>>83206595
> they immediately exceed its limits and kind fuck up the world and one power for the next book

No they didn't. While the bowl plot line took waaaaaay too many books it was needed to stop the Dark One affecting the weather.

What fucked up the power in the part of the world was Aviendha unpicking the gate weave setting off the mini-nuke.
>>
>>83206517
Bitching at him was basically the only method she had. If she sucked up to him he wouldn't take her seriously and could just brush her off, and she wasn't strong enough to make him do anything. So only thing she could do was act like a cunt to get him frustrated.
>>
Why did Perrin have to become a whipped faggot. Both Matt and Perrin seemed to slowly lose their friendship with Rand. At least Matt still seemed like Rand's friend although they weren't as close as thet were but Perrin just did as his wife commanded and didn't treat Rand like his friend anymore
>>
>>83206666
No dude, it was the bowl
From the wiki
>Within days the weather changed and winter began to set in. Because of this, the bowl was given to the Sea Folk. The aftereffects of using this bowl caused both saidin and saidar to become strange and lifelike, causing many weaves of the two halves to be distorted and jumpy. This is most noticeable near Ebou Dar. This effect was caused by stress due to the immense strength of the flows through the bowl. In the Age of Legends, the bowls were used with less of the Power since more bowls were in existence, giving each bowl a smaller area to cover rather than requiring weather manipulation across the entire world.

It is stated by Moridin, while watching Aviendha, that in the Age of Legends weather ter'angreal were used independently of the Power. He also states that the women of the Third Age had gained the ability to work the weather with the Power. Therefore it stands to reason that what they do with the Bowl of Winds is unique and new to even the Forsaken.

The huge use of Power also alerted the Seanchan. Sul'dams and their damane were dispatched to collar the women wielding the Power. However, they were all destroyed when Elayne Trakand failed to unweave her gateway properly and caused the weave to blow up, creating destruction of both sides of the gateway, and completely destroying the farm.
>>
>>83206705
That's just how it goes. Your friend gets a girlfriend and she doesn't like you or the rest of your friends and she keeps him from hanging out. Then they get married and he disappears off the face of the earth.
>>
>>83206614
Not true. The women stayed behind and tried to build an artifact that would enable them to fight against the Dark One. But as we saw in the series that artifact couldn't do that
>>
>>83206754
And the male solution ultimately didn't work either. It nearly destroyed the world and the seal was imperfect. In order for anything great to happen men and women need to work together. When they do things separately everything gets fucked.
>>
>>83206793
Yeah if the women listened to the fucking Dragon the world would have been saved
>>
Which Forsaken got his body stolen by Rand?

WoT is standard fantasy story. A few chapters into the first book and I already know that rand is the main hero/dragon. The fuck is that shit?

>>83206845

>>83206793
>>83206812
though we the readers now know that even if the women had helped the hundred companions, it still wouldnt have have a been a permanent fix. Saidar might have gotten tainted too or some other bad thing happen Saidin, Saidar AND the True Power were all 3 needed to fully and completely seal the Bore, and the AoL Channelers didnt know that

I don't think he hated his wife or even got off on the abuse, he just didn't understand women at all and figured being bottom bitch to his wife was the natural order of things.

Your taste a shit, but your get is impressive

Verin is based too, though she's not exactly a typical Aes Sedai
>>
>>83213184

Verin sacrificed herself to the shadow, I would say she took her job pretty seriously.

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

He didn't bodyjack him. Elayne dyed his hair with the same shit she and Nynaeve used to swap hair colours like 5 books earlier. The final battle happened in a perceptual space, what they recognized became instantly real. Rand kind of forgot he was injured since he was so caught up in being Jesus and wasn't actually inhabiting his body at that moment, and so he wasn't anymore as he had ceased to recognize it.

>Oh they are making a show

Time for me to act like an insufferable ass and pretend everyone is 20 years too late to the party boyos.

Borderland nations are composed of Blacks, Asians and some whites with very Japanese culture.
Aiel are Scotts with (highly idealized) Australian Aboriginal culture.
But the thing that would create the most online asspain by far is the Seanchan.

The Seanchan nobility are all Black slave owners with Texan accents.

It's a generic 'young adult male realizes his destiny while shit falls into his lap to fight the awoken ancient evil' story. These were and are still insanely popular in fantasy. Although I think the best written fantasy doesn't go near this formula.

WoT has plenty of shortcomings and the prose is painfully plain but the worldbuilding is nice. Channeling is a neat magic system. And most of the male characters are alright.

I hope you've got like 300 hours to sit around listening to it anon, because the series is around 15,000 pages all up.

They have every reason to resist Moiraine. She's manipulative and extremely dishonest. Half the problems caused by the main characters working against her could have been solved if she'd just stop lying by omission and trying to misdirect them and just talk.
She even admits that, towards the end of the series. She knows she fucked up a bunch because she was so used to being a typical manipulative Aes Sedai that she couldn't unwind enough to just talk straight to a couple of country kids so they wouldn't do anything stupid.

Moiraine and Verin are two of the best characters in the series. Lanfear and Graendal were entertaining villainesses too.

I always had a soft spot for pic related too.

Moghedien was surprisingly competent for being by far the weakest of the Forsaken. She even manages to survive in the end, even if it's not in a very good position.
Moiraine is definitely my favorite character though. She gets some great development, the fact that she actually acknowledges her flaws goes a long way.
>>
>>83214604
The forsaken were definitely the most entertaining characters in the books.
Well, except for the two who get rekt in the first book...
>>
>>83214687

I forgot that she was captured. I reckon she would have escaped in the end, she could skip around the dream world well enough.
>>
>>83214746
Definitely. The A'dam's didn't work in dreams, she could compel a Sul'dam to let her loose easily enough.
>>
>>83214746
I hope she got to live happily ever after.
