Just finished the Rosamund Pike Great Hunt. Since she is doing a Texas accent for Seanchan, that makes me almost certain we get it in the show too.

I don't think Jordan drew the original map(s) himself. He gave direction to an artist I think.

The various "errors" in the WoT maps, such as mountain ranges going down into the sea along the Blight edge, are apparently deliberate and intended to be signs and vestiges of the Breaking.

He didn't draw the published version but he designed it. Only after pressure from the publisher. He didn't want a map.

Yeah it's Red Eagle again on their same bullshit. First it was a movie trilogy, now an animated whatever.

I don’t understand how these turds still have rights to anything. They basically have nothing but a screenwriter attached probably hasn’t written anything. Seems these dumb little announcements are nothing but fishing for studio funding.

HBO gave some nobodies a lot of money to make GoT and Amazon gave someone who hasn’t done much to head WoT. Might as well keep trying.

It's also noteworthy that they used the updated map that the guy who wrote a recent book about the mythology that inspired the series realized Jordan meant to depict all along with the southern hemisphere of Seanchan being much wider and the "Land of Madmen" instead called "the Madlands". It's presumably something Jordan's estate are now treating as the defacto version, since Jordan's wife was part of the editing of that book if I recall, but it's still a bit odd to see the map depicted that way. It's also a bit weird to see how narrow the Aiel Waste is compared to the landmass as a whole, when I always picture it as a massive wide stretch of land, rather than a long, narrow one. I'll always be curious about Shara as well, given how little it features in the narrative; there's not even any cities drawn on the map, as opposed to all the ones dotted around the West Lands. Seanchan has some detail in that regard too, but just nothing for Shara.

Benioff wasn't a nobody by any stretch of the imagination. He wrote two big/successful blockbusters (Wolverine, and Troy), wrote a novel (25th Hour) plus the adaptation of it which was a critical darling flick directed by Spike Lee, got a bunch of nominations for his writing on the Kite Runner too and I think won a bafta for that.

Weiss I think was much more of a nobody however. Hadn't had any projects get off the ground before GoT, I think.

It's worth bearing in mind also that they did season 1 with GRRM himself, who had a decent amount of TV writing experience albeit a while back. And is not a bad writer.


The contrast with Witcher and Wheel of Time is notable, is what I'm saying I guess.

Someone said you can see a hammer in Perrin's hand right behind Mat's right shoulder, but I think it looks more like either part of his shirt or just some randomness.

Correct. There's only two new frames in that little whatever it was: Moiraine in what looks like the foregate and Eggy channeling. The Myrddraal might be new but who cares :shrug:

In related news: the Screen Actors Guild decided to join the writers on strike so if you thought Amazon's promo efforts were dogshit before, just imagine no actors, no interviews, no red carpet, nothing for the S2 release :ohdear:

I’ve seen some takes saying the actors joining the strike is a good thing because it’ll resolve much quicker :shrug:

Other takes saying the show may be in danger of being jettisoned if amazon goes into cost-cutting mode
