Eternal Wheel of Time /WoT/ General

And now it is?

It has no choice but to be shit

this

>Sony Pictures will serve as the production studio

It will be obvious that there will be black people on it (Just accepti it alredy before they are announced and you'll start being mad).

Which characters can be possible done with black actors from the saga?

>>85125899
I tried reading the first book but stopped about a quarter of the way through. Are they worth reading?

>>85126014
If you gave up so soon then I wouldn't recommend it to you.

marry fugg kill

>>85125985
I hate to say it, but Lan and Perrin are the most likely.

>>85126014
the beginning is very different then the rest of the series, but if you didn't the fall of manetherin story or the intro then yea not for you

>>85125965
the cunt admitted he was lying and just wanted to see who he could trigger

Idris Elba as Lan when?

>>85126133
marry Avi (infinite crazy aiel sex with potential for spear sisters joining in)
fuck Elayne
kill Min

I like them all, but if you force me to choose...

>>85126135
who is mat? or talamanes for that matter

>>85126135
>making the blacksmith black
nah Mat will get blacked so him hooking up with Tuon feels more natural

>>85126133
marry min fuck avienda kill elayne
the only correct answer

>>85126133
Marry Min as she seems like someone who could be good company to have
Fuck Avi because the sex will be amazing
Kill Elayne and her plotting scheming ass

>>85126133
Marry Min
Fug Elayne
Kill Avi

Aviendha just never did it for me

>>85126135
WE WUZ WARDENS N SHEIIIT

>>85126186
I would say Perrin is most likely to be black, so that Faile and Berelain can lust after him and the urban market will get their white wimmens.

>>85126082
life is suffering

>>85126181
Talmanes is the pompous white sarcastic noble who paints his face white.
It would be hilarious to see some black actor playing white face actually.
Mat is too much of a Chris Pratt character to be played by a black imo and they are pushing the silent noble hearted badass black characters recently, so Lan and Perrin are the most fitting in my opinion.

>>85126186
This will happen if they change Tuon to be white.

>>85126133
Marry Min Fuck Elayne Kill Avi desu

>>85126273
meh we'll see i'm almost sure mats getting blacked, for the hanging if nothing else

I guarantee it's the same fags that go on /got/

>>85126273
Mat is quite literally Odin in the books. So naturally he'll be black.

>>85126331
generals are cancer

>>85126133
Fuck peasant
marry princess
kill tracksuit

>>85126135
I honestly wouldn't have a problem with Perrin being black except that we're talking about a small village of white people in not-England and adding a black population to Emonds Field would be weird. They'll still do it because muh ekwality but yeah.

>>85126331
I go there to read the vitriol, barely ever post.
I have abandoned that show after S5.

>>85126348
He has motifs of Odin, but his personality is more Loki.

>>85126377
if you think thats what your getting no wonder you made all the wrong choices

>>85126133
Gotta be honest. I'd marry and fuck Aviendha. Tall, tsundere amazons do it for me.

>>85126377
>marry elayne
you fucked up son

>>85126387
he's the god of war and a wanderer and a story teller he's odin not loki

>>85126444
Also a liar and swindler. He is a mix of them.

>>85126412
muh spear-bratha

>>85126387
>>85126444

To add to that, Odin also fucks everything that just barely looks at him.

i'd marry moraine and be her warder

>>85125985
Lol, aren't literally all of the sea folk and seanchan black?

>>85126520
Dude don't forget about Moiraine's epic love story with Thom.

>>85126525
with the seanchan definitely not, their is an argument the noble-born were e.g. tuon, but the seanchan were made up of a lot of races, as for the seafolk eh they always seemed islander to me

>>85126525
Seanchan as a continent spans almost pole to pole, they are described as having a population that are white as snow and black as midnight and every colour in between. The seafolk are also pretty black if memory serves.

>>85126556
That came completely out of left field.

>>85126525
The seafolk are described as tanned, which is understandable since they take off their tops the moment htey leave port. Sailing shirtless will give you a decent tan pretty fast.

>>85126618
the seafolk are islanders or portuguese at the very least

>>85126578
I think the seafolk the colour of japanese tuna fishermen, not nigs.

The actual ooga-booga niggers come with Demandred.

>>85126133
they'll all be black so kill all

>that feel when you will never get daily spankings so you can become the Amerlyn

I really hope Herriett is a giga nazi with the property and won't allow them to change a single hair colour not to mention skin.

>>85126664
Demandred the poor manlet deserved better. He rid us of Gawyn after all.

>>85126778
he should have been taim

>>85126772
harriet is a gold digging whore, less said of her the better

That moment you can't decide wether you should pull your braid or smoothen your skirt, so you become an Aes Sedai and mary a legendary warrior king who fights a lone battle against the shadow instead

>>85125985
obviously the original party that starts from emond's field will be diversified somehow

i guess they'll just make the village naturally multiethnic and act like that's totally normal

>>85126014
There's a dull patch in the middle (esp. book 9).

They're good to listen to in audiobook format.

>>85126778
>Demandred is to Lews Therin as Gawyn is to Rand

Why was Demandred such a retard? Why did he think that Rand would be on the front lines and not, you know, at the Bore doing his job?

>>85126935
that made sense, demandred is ego incarnate

>>85126272
It truly is lad

>>85126778
>>85126822
That reminds me.
Does anyone have the short story of how Demandred takes over Shara and gets the scepter.

>>85126849
Care to elaborete? Never read anything about her that paints her in such a light.

>>85126960
>Demandred is I in the flesh

Ever so humble

>>85126928
>audiobooks
They're awesome, especially because they're being read by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading. Awesome duo, splitting the female/ male narrated parts.

>tfw the show will get cancelled after 2 season
>we will never see Rand hit his lowest point and break his very last rule and melt Semhirage out of time and space

>>85126984
yes its on my kindle its ok actually pretty decent considering the author

>>85126935
Rand 5D chess'd him by showing up disguised at all battles before that. Also, Demandred's 1000 year old inferiority complex fucked him hard. He had a vendetta with someone that didn't give a single shit about him.

>>85126984
>harriet
not really its an overwhelming amount of shit over the years/decades?, starting with harriet being the one who pushed for 10+ books, gotta keep that cash rolling in

>>85126999
Kate reading the Seanchan parts makes her sound like a drunk retard tho

>>85127042
I'd rather see him Onii-sama the last 2 books.

>>85127110
I think she did the slow drawl better than Michael who made them sound scottish - actual drunken retards.

>>85127115
I want to see him tell Egwene where to shove it at Tar Valon. He doesn't even need to break a sweat to manipulate her into doing exactly what he wants, it's just reverse psychology and she falls hard for it all the while thinking that Rand is literally the devil that she needs to be in control of because she sees it as her right. God I hate Egwene.

>>85127045
Did you buy it?
I can't seem to find any links for it and I'm not sure I want to buy a whole anthology for just that story.
>considering the author
What's wrong with Sanderson?
I only read his WoT ending and the first Mistborn trilogy which I really liked (ending sucked though).

>>85126135
Isn't Lan a member of the Asian inspired Borderlands? As long as he's a hunk of muscle, an Asian man would be a good fit.

>>85127243
lan is tall rangy and striated muscle everything that asians aren't

and the borderlands are white people

STOP WITH THIS RACE CHANGING REDDIT SHIT I'M SERIOUSLY GUNNA BOX YOUR EARS IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL

>>85127223
it was in an anthology iirc, I just dl the entire thing, I can't be bothered charging my kindle right now to check, sanderson is simple and the more of his you read the more grating it becomes his dialogue has this quippy shit to it thats just jarring in the setting, i've read mostly all his stuff though and i'll read more so theirs that

>>85127243
borderlands are a weird mix

Saldaeans are bit "Mongol" looking, prefer horse archer tactics
between Arafel and Kandor is "Plain of Lances" where they probably just use mounted units to ride down trollocs
Shienar is obsessed with some Japanese culture things
Malkier is lost and we dont know much about it, could be any kind of weird mix

>>85127061
Also, Demandred recognised a master general with centuries worth of experience as his opponent.

He had no way of knowing it was Mat, the 23 year old.

>>85127282
Their women have little red dots on their foreheads like Indians. Maybe Nynaeve will be our diversity.

>>85126520
>i'd marry moraine and be her warder

You and me both. I think it must be real because I don't experience even the slightest embarrassment saying so.

>>85125899
>Sony Pictures will serve as the production studio

So it'll be more MTV instead of HBO. If they expect this to be a new GoT they'll be very disappointed.

>didn't like the ending of the mistborn trilogy

You have a shit opinion sir, but impeccable taste. I bid you good day.

>>85127305
yea they all are mixed, the seanchan are kinda japanese kinda british, the aiel are all over the place, all the races are a mix of cultures and then adding in some fetish stuff Jordon invented

>>85127291
That's the thing. All his dialogue starts being snide, sarcastic or like you said quippy. He's got real trouble writing serious people. In Stormlight Archive he's barely able to write Dalinar's scenes.
I still enjoy it though.

>>85127364
I've every confidence in the "muh whiteness" element on /tv/'s ability to preserve a bloody arse and find ways to self-generate further anal fissuring.

>>85127410
>>85127364

We've gotten a bit off course. Nobody actually cares about the different countries having different ethnic populations. Fans are rightly worried about main characters being changed for no good reason whatsoever.

>>85127243
He is. And they can easily make that region full of valiant blacks who resist the evil shadow so that little white bois in the hood can live in peace.
>asian inspired
That reminds me, the Seanchan have literal samurai helmets.

>>85127291
I know it's in an anthology, curious if you bought it or found it for dl somewhere.

>>85127353
I liked Sazed being the true hero at the ending and how Marsh wanders around for ages as a redeemed inquisitor. I was displeased how Vin and Elend get killed off so nonchalantly.

>>85127401
yes its easyh to read but it gets really irritating and I did not want that in my wot, but like I said that short sotry about the Bao or w/e is pretty good and now that I think about it theirs a minimum or maybe no quip shit, seriously his dialogue by and large sucks ass

>>85127485
I said I dl it

>>85127460
Lan can be Asian, but Andor better have a overwhelmingly white population, as befitting medieval not!England.

Locke Lamora movie when?

First book is definitely suited to being a movie with the pace that it moves at.

>>85127568
>Lan can be Asian

I admit, listening to the audiobooks, Lan was Mads Mikkelsen mixed with Aragorn in my mind.

>>85127568
I wouldn't care if Lan was Asian or Black or incorporeal as long as they pick an actor who can pull off the whole silent menace deadly grace thing.

>>85127686
no kill yourself your a shill

>maybe i can sway them to have some jap flavour as one of the main characters

fuck off and die

>>85127617
Can't wait for them to fuck it up and cast some handsome chad to play Locke and then cast Rose Leslie as Sabetha and have her say "You know nothing, Locke Lamora," before tsundereing off into the sunset.

>>85127686
They are asian inspired. I wouldn't be too bothered if he was asian, but would prefer mixed or completely white. That cover is shit.

Why should we even care or argue about any of this? We all know it's going to be shit and nothing like the books.

>2017

wow maybe Sony made a single good decision for once, from a business standpoint

>>85127792
With some very careful cutting and restructuring it could still be /good/.

It won't be, but it could be.

Cut out the first book entirely, begin at the start of the second book, feed in important information from the first book as necessary, trim the excessive subplots from the back half of the series, shorten Perrin's rescue of Faile to a one season affair, truncate Egwene's ascent to power.

>>85127893
You'd need a GoT budget to do WoT any justice but even then it's not really suited to a faithful TV adaptation. There's not enough sex and violence to start with.

>>85128003
yea, it should be a cartoon not anime just a really high budget cartoon, only way it would ever work

>>85128032
Except no one makes cartoons anymore so it'd be that psuedo-CG shit that shows up in anime and looks like arse.

i'll refuse to watch if that happens. isn't Rand half Aiel though? there's no way in hell they make him anything but 100% white

i'm thinking they might make the seanchan black to fill the diversity quota, but poor Mat though...

hopefully they'll just make some random side characters black, maybe a couple Forsaken

Also, reminder that during the Age of Legends people could travel and live around the world instantly, and were randomly spread around by the Breaking. There is literally no reason why any character cannot be any ethnicity.

Alright, I laughed.

>>85128450
these are pretty soild choices actually, rufus as ishmael is perfect

this show is going to be compaired to GOT so much that its not going to make it past a 2nd season. everyone is going to say 'meh its ok but not as good as got' and then give it up

which sucks because i love the story but sadly the fact is that sex or nudity isnt really a focus of the book, therefor making the show dull in most people's eyes

>>85129016
Huge wars and sword fights as well as channeling constantly

people will enjoy it and they wont have to worry about some main character getting killed off every second either

>>85129073
Except for the finale, where all of the good side characters die.
ALL
OF
THEM

i'm still struggling to see how they're gonna deal with Trollocs and Myrdraal

full CGI would be too expensive, so they'll probably make them look more human-like, but it's a slippery slope

>>85129105
talmanes didn't

>>85129105
It's delusional to think the show would get enough seasons to get there. You'd also need an entire season at least for the last battle alone.

>>85129138
Myrddraal just need a mask and a hood really. Trollocs who the fuck knows, maybe they can borrow some costumes from doctor who.

>>85129395
>Trollocs
see>>85128341
Literally how some of them are described in the books.

>>85129437
trollocs are 1/2 goat or raven or boar or wolf or something like that I don't see it being done well

>>85129485

they'll need to borrow some of that LotR technology, great make-up on a few, then copy paste them into big armies and shit

>>85129524
nice thought, never going to happen

>>85125899

Isn't this like way bigger than ASoIaF and LotR?

So how in hell can they make this work? Budget will be huge (well I hope so) and it's all about the network too to make it as violent and sexy as the books.

So HBO? Not gonna happen. AMC? Way too low budget. Starz? Maybe? Netflix?

>>85130184
> Isn't this like way bigger than ASoIaF and LotR?

Bigger as in length of story then sure. The series is looooong.

> make it as violent and sexy as the books
The books have almost no sex and violence is limited to sword fights, battles and the odd scene like Dumai's Wells. This is no GoT.

>>85130311

So battles are not violently written like in ASoIaF? So maybe this is more like ABC or NBC kind of story?

>>85130184
They'll just cut loads out. There is plenty of fat to trim.

>>85130354
There's more focus on strategy and battle formations in WoT. I don't think that will translate well to TV but it could make for some good set pieces.

>>85130311
>>85130354
battles are violent af, so are channeling confrontations, but they could never show them on a tv budget

>>85127568
It won't and you know it. They'll still try and push "MUH DIVERSITY"upon the characters and setting despite it directly contradicting stuff in the books.

>>85130389
They aren't written as brutal violence with limbs, blood and gore everywhere like ASolaF.

Sure with a big budget and a HBO/Streaming network you could change the tone and aim more adult but that's not how WoT was written.

>>85130523
sure but battles were battles, rand ripped mass amounts of people apart on screen, the wars were the strong suit really for Jordon cause of his background so yea lots of formations and positioning, but the end result was mass slaughter

>>85130587
>>85130523

The 'death gates' alone were pretty fucking horrible if you think about it. Opening huge horizontal portals waist high, cutting everything in half, leaving legs and innards standing around while the upper body collapses into the gate to spill out somewhere.

>>85130587
Agreed about the formations and battle strategy, and yes there were lots of deaths but from what I remember there were very few scenes where he went into detail about the carnage.

Dumai's wells, the Trolloc attack on the lodge with the spinning portals were brutal.

>>85130695
yea the death gates, even morianes early version of rolling rings of earth and fire was fucked up

>>85130737
every time rand does something horrible shit happens, the random caravan, the cleansing of The Stone the bit in eotw where he kills like a million trollics, and the first horn summoning, all have the potential to be brutal and we haven't even gotten to the main story

All this for being banged by a top tier exotic MILF-queen? Yeah, sounds horrible really.

Let's say the events transpire in such a way that Griffith decides NOT to sacrifice the Hawks and just dies instead, this disrupts the eclipse and Guts gets thrown into the WoT world sometime in the first book.

How would pre-eclipse, post-Wyald Guts do? Iirc there are some pretty similar monsters, but without being drenched in apostle blood I think Guts is at a magical disadvantage.

That would mean that all the sacrifices made for him to take back Malkier were for nothing if he just dies at the end. Even though the scene would have been more powerful if he died, the previous story would have been invalidated.

Of all the Chosen he's the only one we get nearly no screen time with until the last book.

>>85134155
He knows what the shadow is about. He just hates Lews Therin so much that he went with bullfaced monsters instead of standing on the same side as him.

it's not really her fault after the aes-sedai broke her remember

>>85138056
Yeah, sure. But having Demandred come over with his Sharans with literally no buildup except that he mentioned that he's got a good thing going during one of the Forsaken meetups was still pure shit.

>>85138121
She was the only tsundere in the entire series that never reached the dere part.

>>85138186
Yeah I was a bit disappointed with Demandred in the end. I'm sure Jordan would have done a few hundred pages about him.

>>85138121
I remember when I turned the page and saw it was an Egwene chapter I felt exactly when I saw it was a Dany or Sansa chapter in ASOIAF.
I usually sneaked ahead to the next male chapter to calm myself that something good is coming after.
In the last books it was pretty good while she was playing the Tower, but when she got in contact with Rand she turned to shit again for a little while, then her end was glorious.

>>85138405
Sorry to continue using anime terms, but one thing I noticed that Sanderson does quite well are 'power up sequences' and overkill fights.

He flashing all the dark channelers was good enough to make up for a lot of the bs drama earlier.

>>85138121
No, Egwene was always kind of shitty and hard to like, even when they were still in the Two Rivers. The Aes Sedai just made her worse. Not even the based Aiel could redeem her. Then she got a fancy scarf and began her slow but unstoppable descent into pure bitch.

A badass one maybe, but still a massive cunt.

>>85138186
There were a few hints that something was happening in Sharia scattered through the books, and frankly there came a certain point when it was the only viable option for Demandred's location.

His sneak attack was a surprise. His point of origin really wasn't.

>>85138322
While it could have been interesting, even more was not the way to go for the last couple of books. The series is bloated enough already.

>>85140798
where do you think you are ?

>>85140798
50/50
the overall story/conflict is pretty simplistic, even juvenile
many of the characters are complex and have interesting motivations, but enough of the major characters are really predictable and boring that it's not really a selling point
the action often moves very very slowly, with a lot of talk about clothing and politics and emotions, which makes you think it's probably not meant for children

there's quite a bit of interesting mythology going on, both in the actual mythology of the world and the way in which jordan seemed to approach how humans use mythology on a greater cultural scale. but unless you're really bored and really like fantasy books I'm not sure it's worth going through all 10 billion pages for that

>>85125899
Urgh, not even laws of magic.

>>85128399

On the other hand I really appreciate the willingness of an author to make a story progress this slowly to do the slow decay justice. Any other anons feel like this?

>>85142731
Cadsuane tried. Miserably, but still.

>>85142731
The fact that Nyneave basically hates Aes Sedai says it all really.

Also, its a testament to Rand's trust in her that even when he was staring into the abyss of lunacy and he hadn't seen her for over a year, he completely 100% trusted her to have his back while he was cleansing the taint.

Which has just reminded me of all the times she does have his back, and the backs of the Ash'aman as well.

I've been rereading the series and I've got a question. What was the whole deal with Egwene almost being sent to the seanchan empire? It seemed like something the shadow would do to prevent her from becoming amyrlin, but also non-shadow factions seemed in on the idea.

>>85143481
Which reminds me, the showdown at the cleansing was pretty fucking based

>>85143698
the taking of the stone of tear was gnarly as fuck too.

>>85143653

>>85143653
women channelers are rarely strong in earth, which "wonder girl" Egwene obviously is strong at

this makes her a rare luxury good, something that can imported back home as expensive spoils of war

and most likely Suroth as a darkfriend had been given orders to make sure the girls were sent away from Rand or something, dont know. to distract him from Dragons prophecies?

I doubt it; you've just reminded me that most of the Forsaken didn't even know what Mat and Perrin looked like.

I doubt fucking with Egwene was a calculated move against Rand.
