Hieronymous Alloy posted:There are two alternate canonically valid interpretations of loial I hope they do Loial as a muppet. Trollics and everything else can be CGI, but I need all ogiers to be muppets. Im actually pretty excited for an abridged version of the WOT because there is a shitload of fat that can get cut out, looking at you Valan Luca. Also, I really hope they flesh out the Black Tower more. I still feel like it was one of the biggest missed opportunities in the series, especially before the cleansing of Saidin. I also wonder how they're gonna work in New Spring, they definitely can't do it first. Oh, and they better loving give cameos to Micheal Kramer and Kate Reading The Glumslinger fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Sep 18, 2019 |

Submarine Sandpaper posted:It's also mentioned in whatever that first city is, but only internal monologue and I forget the tone. Its funny how Baerlon feels like one of the biggest cities in the entire series because it was the first city they ever saw. Feels way bigger than Illian or any borderland city

shirunei posted:Been rereading the first book during my downtime at work. Is the altercation between the whitecloaks and Rand the first time he manifests the One Power? Tried looking for it earlier in the book but this seems like the very first instance. I think canonically, its him using it to keep Bella fresh when they were fleeing from Aemon's Field

seaborgium posted:I would think so too, but a couple of times it's mentioned that another character thinks she might just yank her whole braid out because she's so upset and doing it so hard. Anxiously smoothing out your clothes makes sense to me, but pulling your own hair that hard is just weird. I always assumed it played into her block, since she could only channel when pissed off, so she subconsciously developed habits to keep her angrier

VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE posted:That's going to be a fun B plot of an episode when Lan makes him behave like a Lord of the borderlands to screw with Moiraine and the Shienarans. Yeah, that whole set of scenes is way funnier on a reread when you get whats going on Its just Rand going "Why do I need to do this weirdass thing?" and Lan acting all mysterious

ChubbyChecker posted:I've only read his WoT books, but I think that that is quite a big claim. I don't remember him inserting any new stuff in the series, just continuing Jordan's lesbian spanking fetish. I mean there are people like Bakker and GRRM in the genre. I don't think Sanderson understands what sex is

It's kinda fun to imagine Moraine's trip to Aemon's Field going into this podunk backwater, so forgotten that Andor hasn't even bothered sending tax collectors there in like 100 years. And not only is she there to find a legend out of myth, she finds 2 more taveren. And then she happens to find 2 girls who would both be among the most powerful channelers since the breaking. Oh, and she also runs into the exiled court bard of Andor too, since things weren't hosed up enough already.

VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE posted:They do need to play up the Forsaken a bit though--in the books you get more views of them as bumbling squabbling malcontent incompetents, but to normal people they're still terrifying as gently caress. The scenes of like, the Black Ajah or Darkfriends groveling in front of some of them aside, Morgase's arc kicking off in book 5 is loving like, unreal. Yeah, there first 3 books basically introduce multiple foresaken like 10 pages before they get murdered by Rand

Invalid Validation posted:Lanfear: I will pretend to be an unimaginably attractive lost woman in another dimension that has nothing except monsters roaming around, he’ll never suspect a thing. I love how no one ever points out how loving dumb and horny Rand must have been to not question it at the time. Like, or did that all happen off-screen between books 2-3 and thats why Rand was so loving moody?

Invalid Validation posted:Remember borderlanders are the only ones who have fought Trollocs in centuries. Most people don’t think they’re real. They're obliquely mentioned a bunch of times, but it's in passing almost every time. RJ/Sanderson had plans to flush out the storyline a little bit more, but figured things were bloated enough and it ruined the surprise. It works very well on a reread when you're actively looking for them Edit: wow, I was behind a while

Zore posted:I mean its also worth remembering that Moiraine was basically dead on her feet at that point as she'd been doing demanding non-stop channeling for like 12 hours while they were riding. Lan and Nynaeve were mostly concerned with making sure she would get some sleep and not die on them too. Yeah, its kinda sad we never got a good late book flash back to that incident. Compared to everything in the later books, that incident seems like a tiny skirmish, but it must have been the one of the toughest fight of her life at that point. But she didn't have a POV scene until the very end of that book, so we never heard her inner monologue to reflect on it.
