The serie is average....its soft fantasy it feels more like an Dungeons and Dragons show , even The Hobbit has darker lore than this show. The problem with soft fantasy worlds is that they need strong characters and the serie's main problem are the forgettable characters/ actors...the wolf guy is lame, sosouless. Even then The lore looks interesting and the only reason to keep it watching the show.

This is a serie you watch because there is nothing better on Amazon Prime or you do not have any better to do.

If the lore interests you, read the books, they're 10x better than this

I gave it every bit of optimism before that finale...But that...Ehh. I'll probably still watch season 2 because I love the books so much and I'm glad it got a show at all, but they're screwing up some weird things.

 

[Gareth Bryne]

Even understanding some changes would be necessary I'm pretty unhappy with the direction of a number of things in the show. The 'woke' factor is almost the least of my concern, simply a distraction from the changes that are actually substantive and really take away from the characters and world.

Quality has varied among episodes, some of the highs were great. I'm willing to give it another season-ish to see if they can find their legs (as admittedly the first book is weaker in the series and very much a LoTR romp), but I had really hoped my cherished fantasy epic would be given more love than this in the story department, especially if they're trying to do another GoT level of success.

A main actor left, and covid hit; writing & editing, cinematography really need to be kicked up a notch...much of this has felt very amateur hour. The fact that I'm doing a re-read and still on book 4 with the source material fresh in my head makes it even more painful at times to watch the show.

I read that non-book readers view Perrin as the Hodor of this show. That is kind of hilarious, and sums up how the writers messed up the main characters.

I'm still waiting for the payoff for giving him a wife (at a time where egwyne is just becoming of age, he must have been married for just a few months or guys can get hitched way earlier than girls in that society).

I'm kinda waiting for Perrin come out as gay, which would make what happened to his wife some repressed urges I guess

You might have just nailed the twist. He did say that he loved Rand too, when Egwene said it. He was in love with Rand the whole time, and everyone interpreted him being jealous of Egwene and Rand's relationship as him jonesing for Egwene.

Jokes aside, I wasn’t really a fan of the wife element but … Perrin in the books does find love with the Saldean noblewoman Faile. She was pretty important to his character development so I’m hoping she isn’t cut.

No offense to the actor, but I feel like he doesn’t really help that prospective much. Perrin though was also a talk, big bruly and brooding dude. Writing isn’t giving him any help either on that part. I think it’ll improve next season.

 

[Hoppa]

I read that non-book readers view Perrin as the Hodor of this show. That is kind of hilarious, and sums up how the writers messed up the main characters.

Non book reader - don’t know how anyone could make that connection honestly. To me, for now, he’s just a big sensitive introverted block of wood. I like him but I want to know more about the wolf thing. It’s clearly a big part of his story but they set it up in one episode, the payoff was in another episode and then that was it apart from the bartender and Egwene referring to it . It’s likely due to budget restraints because even the wolf attack scene had like one actual wolf in it to my memory(?).

Finale was pretty bad. The villain character didn’t make sense to me (why didn’t he just kill Moraine while she had the knife to Rands throat? He was just standing there talking to her..) and the little talisman was a bit convenient. Very average but I’m still looking forward to the next season. I’m interested in what Egwenes magic is. They’ve shown Aes Sedai and males channelling but hers was gold.. Also why did they need to summon a tidal wave on that little girl. A bit OTT if you ask me

 

[Wildebeest]

For me the torture scene with Perrin was easily the low point of the whole thing. Gratuitously trying to check a box in the "edgy stuff adult peak telly has to do" in a way that didn't fit in tonally. Probably have plans to chop his nob off in the future as well, just as a soulless by the numbers genre convention.

 

[jason10mm]

They will just make Faile non-binary and thus make the character immune from criticism. Because, you know, a curvy blacksmith wife was just too feminine for Perrin.

I mean, Moraine is gay and is trapped in an abusive relationship with her boss at her toxic AF office so stands to reason Perrin is next.

Can't WAIT to see the AIEL!!

I understand why they did it though: they thought that they were making an adult show.

But in reality they made a drama-laden YA show and stuck a bit of cheap blood and violence in. They tried the sexiness too, but the only major actors that were really prepared to play were Pike and Henney (oddly enough, the only great actors in the show).

[Narasumas]

I read all the books and I am terribly disappointed by this show. I'm still going to watch the final episode of this season and I will leave it at that.

I still don't understand the need to "diversify" all characters where it is not needed in a universe that is already multicultural in itself.

The casting is off, especially Egwene. The best cast character, imo, is Matt and he already left the show as I understand.

The acting is, for the most part, horrible. The character arcs are ridiculous. While I do understand TV is a different medium than books and some changes are you expected, I believe the choices made here are pretty much always wrong.

And as everybody said before: it all feels rushed, which makes some unnecessary scenes they've added and invented themselves even more jarring.

Pretty much a complete failure.

Haven’t watched yet and am on book three of a re-read (only ever made it to Lord of Chaos). The actor for Matt has left? Like, permanently?

So if they do a season 2, it’s just gonna be some other dude?? This alone just killed the whole thing for me wtf.

 

[Narasumas]

I thought this was the weakest episode yet. Am I really supposed to care about the romance between Lan and Nyna? The characters just haven’t had that much time together. It also doesn’t help that the actors have no chemistry.

It was kinda like that in the books too imo. I remember reading them and being like, “did I miss something? When did they ‘ship?” That was one of the faults of the books I had.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Yeah I don't remember seeing it until the "must I say it?" conversation and her having red eyes the next day, especially in the early books he wasn't that good at building up a romance, in this case it was actually the show that made it clearer from the start

On everything else...Read the books lol.

 

[Tams]

Amazon are really pushing this. I'm seeing it all over any new tech that has Amazon involved: from the Samsung Freestyle projector to BMW's new in-car entertainment system.

And one thing is very obvious (though also very prominent in the initial promo stuff): Moraine (and to a lesser degree Lan) are front and centre.

It makes sense, as those are the best actors in this and they have among the 'coolest' scenes for sure. But even as a none book reader, the story doesn't seem to be that it's supposed to be about them so much.

 

[Tams]

EviLore Please, if you have the time, implement the option to add proper quotes in edits.

Using the word "daddy" is cliche but obviously WoT massively influenced GoT just like you said. WoT influenced all modern fantasy that intends to be some huge 5+ book series.

I like fantasy, but I'd never even heard of The Wheel of Time until this TV series. I don't think WoT is as popular as you think it is.

 

[EviLore]

"As of 2021, the series has sold over 90 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling epic fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings.[5][6]"

That doesn't mean that it's mindshare is anywhere as big as other series. Hell, just a proportion of the US (over a couple of generations in that timeframe) could have been the main source of those purchases, meaning that few other places got into it.

I guarantee you that you could mention Harry Potter almost anywhere in the world and people would know of it. WoT time though? Nah.

So I suspect it's a regional thing. In the UK Terry Prachett's Discworld series was quite prominent. You could easily find it in any library or bookstore in a prominent place. WoT though? Never saw it. I'm sure it was there, but from the cursory glances I made even something like Dune was more obvious.

Possibly. In the US, when people I know discussed fantasy, Wheel of Time was almost guaranteed to be brought up, and this was long before the Amazon series, whereas Discworld would be mentioned merely occasionally.

My girl watched the amazon show. She was really into it.

Seemed allright if not bit derivative.

Then one time as i was passing by i see the dude from a way out, the long nosed brother of the game designer.
As much as his english improved since doing the game (and it really did improve), i could not take the show seriously from that point on...

WoT is massive though. Maybe you just overlooked it. It's almost impressive you hadn't heard of it, considering how often it comes up.

 

[sw0mp_d0nk3y]

Wheel of Time was definitely the most popular fantasy series in the 90's before Harry Potter and the LOTR movies. It would be impossible to miss by anyone who ever browsed a fantasy section in a bookstore, or talked to anyone about fantasy books. I could see how younger people who have never been in a real book store could miss it though.

good, i didn't really like him in the show. probably my least favourite out the main characters (rand, perrin, nynaeve, egwene). this isthe guy who is replacing him. his name is Dónal Finn. he was in The Witcher S1 for one episode apparently.

 

[jason10mm]

Wow. That's not for you to say.

Whatevs man. Look, we can whip out our fantasy dicks, slap 'em on a table, and have a measuring contest but I think it is a pretty safe assertation that it is IMPOSSIBLE to simultaneously say "I like fantasy" and "I've never heard of Wheel of Time" unless you A. are VERY new to fantasy or B. are from a remote non-english market. WoT books DOMINATED every fantasy book section for DECADES. EVERY new release was virtually guaranteed a big display in the fantasy area, if not right at the front of the store. It's ok to have not read it, but I can't believe you were unaware of it entirely unless your fantasy trek started post 2013 and doesn't involve going to actual bookstores. Which is fine, but some of us here stretch back to the 70's or earlier and our reading covers well over a century of fantasy writing.

 

[O-N-E]

Yea, I've never read Wheel of Time and I'm not watching this show, but the assertion that the series is not very popular is insane.

If you are a fan of fantasy books and have browsed the options, you know about Wheel of Time. It's a giant in the genre.

 

[Tams]

WoT is massive though. Maybe you just overlooked it. It's almost impressive you hadn't heard of it, considering how often it comes up.

All I'm saying is that in the UK, over the years that it was ongoing, it never cropped up even once. No mention on the news. No publicity. No showcasing in the school or public libraries that I went to. It just wasn't in the British public's mind. Meanwhile Harry Potter was everywhere. Amongst schoolkids, Lemony Snicket was very popular, as was Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. And the sheer amount of Discworld books meant that they were prominent (you notice when an entire row of a bookcase is taken up by one series).

Robert Jordan's death made no significant news in the UK. Terry Prachett's did. The posthumous release of Douglas Adams And Another Thing... (completed by Eoin Colfer - another well-known fantasy writer in the UK), was quite well known in the UK, the last WoT book...

And don't get me started on popularity outside the Anglosphere.

So, no I'm not doubting that the WoT series is very popular in some places (and yes, it does seem to have sold well in the UK). But nowhere near everywhere.
And I'm sure a lot of fantasy writers have read at least some of it. But fantasy as a genre is much, much, much older than 1990.
Therefore to say it's influenced all modern fantasy is poppycock.

The one author who inarguably has influenced almost all modern fantasy is J.R.R. Tolkien, as stereotypes he made or fleshed out appear in much of it.


Plus, perhaps I've listed enough fantasy there to earn my 'fantasy book' chops that for whatever reason you seem so eager to show that I don't have.

Edit: and now you lot are saying that I'm either very young (not true) or have never spent time in a bookshop (not true). I don't know why you've decided to make this personal.

It inspired him to make ASOIAF longer than a trilogy, but that's about it.

GRRM started writing ASOIAF in 1991 and around 18 months after the first WoT book was published. At that time, I don't even think Robert Jordan knew how many books would be published in the WoT series.

GRRMs main influence for ASOIAF was real world history, specifically the English medieval civil war known as the War of the Roses.

I agree it’s sorta bullshit and disappointing to lose him. But being unvaxxed is sort of a liability for an employer. There’s a few unvaxxed people at my work that had to take long periods of time off when they got Covid. 3 people were in the hospital for a couple of months m. One of them about Barney’s age. Something like that can fuck up production. One coworker died. Most vaxxed workers are back to work quickly. I can see why Amazon doesn’t want to deal with that and take the risk over one person.

Dude WoT was Internet 1.0's GoT or even Lost. This shit was all over Usenet and old school forums back in the day.
