I think the thing that really put me off Elayne as a person was during the trip to Ebou Dar where she spent the entire time aggressively bullying Mat.

I think Elayne comes off unlikable because she does dumb things but never really suffers any serious consequences. That's because she was destined to succeed by the author way before any kind of prophecy worked into anything.

The “Mat leaves with a horse and returns with a personal army and the head of Couladin” sequence is one of my favorite moments, and I hope they can do it justice without his internal monologue.

Have Mat explain to someone how it happened, keep most of the monologue intact and adds some hopefully great emoting from the Actor.

There’s an actual chance we get Mat beating the douche bros in the Tower and that should be enough for anyone imho.

MadHat posted:Have Mat explain to someone how it happened, keep most of the monologue intact and adds some hopefully great emoting from the Actor. A montage done like Luis from the Ant-Man movies where it's Mat recounting the story in a sardonic self-effacing way while the visual of him actually doing the thing has him saying the exact same thing, but his body language is that of a heroic leader. Everyone reacts to it as such. 'And so I said "no you bloody fools, follow me if you want to live" and I ran away and suddenly there were Aiel everywhere.' Cut to Mat shouting "follow me if you want to live" while pointing a sword over a hill. They charge full speed, Mat in the lead, and they crash right into a squad of Aiel as they crest the top, taking them in the flank. Mat fights furiously (because he has to), shouting curses the whole time, but his men take this as encouragement.

You could also just show the battle, and have Mat be talking to himself about slipping away or surely there's no enemies over there, or fight this pack and then we can run for it.

Mat gets on his horse to leave, and then condense his entire Hard stop with him sitting at the fire looking dazed with everyone cheering and Couladin's head on the pole.

Is Mat really the sort of character to ever talk about the actual facts of what happened with anyone? Shrugging, making a joke, and redirecting the topic seems more like his style.

Jaxyon posted:gonna laugh when a streaming prestige drama refuses to use the nudity the author handed to them (ie naked aes sedai ceremonies, sweat tents) on the count of being too gratuitous If they are going to do any nudity, it better be the sweat tents or the Aiel in general. 10 Aiel withered tits and grizzled bawbags for every perky wise one apprentice bottom or ageless bosom. Egwene running out of the sweat tents every time the clan chiefs show up with their dicks out is one of the funniest parts of TSR. It's like (in the US) the first time you go to the campus gym at college and see your aged professor with a leg up on the hand dryer, casually asking you how your paper is coming along while drying his balls.

I'm just wondering right now, based on the bright colored trailer, how they're going to handle the gnarly Game of Thrones poo poo like Deathgates on screen when the time comes. The worst thing that can happen to this show is that it's successful and they have to keep making it lol.

I seem to recall in one of Rafe's AMAs that he mentioned that they couldn't figure out a way to do that without breaking the bank, and even then they weren't sure they could do it without it diving into the uncanny valley. So no, they pretty much aren't.

the description of the tightening of the oath on their skin that causes the agelessness literally sounds like Botox so yeah I think just casting middle aged actresses will work just fine

Easy answer is to just recast the actress as someone younger, but I really like Sophie Okonedo, so hopefully they don't do this. There's plenty of shock to play up with the fall from grace of the world's most powerful woman - they don't need to make her unrecognizably younger too. It would be really confusing for audiences anyway.

Lean right into it and have her stilled self played by a flaming redhead ultra-pale woman, then when she gets her channeling back she's just suddenly Sophie again. No acknowledgement or even mention.
