VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE posted:If they do both the Winternight trolloc attack and Moiraine's Manetheren story the first episode will be reasonably representative, I think. You've got trollocs vs villagers, Matrix agent-style Myrddraal, some fireball-throwing from Moiraine, some really loving flashy destruction from Queen Eldrene. You gotta build up to the ghosts, ninjas, men in black and the dragon-riders. Rand sitting up suddenly after he wakes up from the Baalzamon dream followed by a cut to credits seems pretty cliched, but it would probably look good.

bloom posted:I'm curious to see how they'll do grey men in the show. I always liked the way they were casually written into background descriptions in the books, it'll be interesting to see how they adapt that on screen. It'd be pretty neat if they're just always a little out of the preferred focal plane. They're just blurry all the time because you just naturally don't focus on them.

Depends on if they want to maintain the pretense of a Moiraine-centric POV through at least mid-season when it becomes super obvious Rand's the one of the kids who's the Dragon Reborn I guess.

Noncanonical! Boo! Hiss! If they even get to the end of the books in the show I really hope they either change it so Bela lives or Noel shows up riding her when the Horn is blown.

Have they cast Bela yet? Was talking to someone the other day about how they could make Rand's stable less "cringey wish fulfillment fantasy" and had the though that there's no reason why Bela couldn't be a stallion, right?

It was in response to that, paraphrasing this earlier post:Avalerion posted:Have they cast Min yet? Was talking to someone the other day about how they could make Rand's harem less "cringey wish fulfillment fantasy" and had the though that there's no reason why Min couldn't be a dude, right?

Brolander posted:this is kind of fun. second most popular in the sci-fi sport! Verin's first major scuffle is at Falme which would line up with the 4 episodes per book 8 episodes per season speculation. I mean, unless this is Tarwin's Gap and they shifted it to after the Aes Sedai delegation arrived at Fal Dara. Which is a wishful thinking thing, I don't put much stock in it. "Couple hundred actors, stunt, and extras" would also line up better with Falme. VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jan 28, 2020 |

They don't have to have announced every person cast. Some of the casting they announced last week have apparently been done and been shooting since November.

I'm still slowly moving through TEoTW (been especially busy recently, and it's not like I don't have plenty of time to get this and maybe TGH finished before the first season lands ...) and there's other stuff that I'm re-noticing or whatever, or going to comment on with an eye towards the adaptation effort. First Rand nightmare is so good I hope they just stick that in the series as-is. This comes right after Moiraine tells him the only place in the world that will be safe for him is Tar Valon, before everyone leaves Emond's Field. So he's dreaming of Tar Valon, of walking into the city welcomed by all as a visiting savior. He tries to visit the outer city but every corner he turns he sees the White Tower, so he figures, fine, I wanted to go there anyway. He goes there, walks in, the door closes, bam, a Myrddraal greets him "we've been waiting for you". God that would be so loving good on screen.
