I think the idea is that Rand and Mat are really sick and it's giving them trouble with the concept of linear time

Egwene isn't even the strongest female channeler around so i don't know why you'd call her overpowered

Egwene isn't infallible. She would have been killed by Seanchan Assassins if Gawyn didn't explicitly disobey her orders

Drawing too much of the power is a constant temptation that all the channelers have to struggle against. Showing Aginor actually do so early on sets the stakes - this is the tool our protagonist must tame

The Lord Bude posted:I loved that WoT tabletop RPG. In fact the only reason I ever discovered the books in the first place was because when I joined the tabletop games club in Highschool, they were in the process of playing the campaign that was released with it; and the teacher in charge of the club told me to start reading the series to familiarise myself with the setting.

The Lord Bude posted:That’s surprising. It’s just 3rd ed d&d reskinned with WoT. If you like d&d and you like WoT how could it be bad? My only issue is that there was only ever the one professionally written campaign for it; but the teacher wrote his own as a follow up.

14 forsaken doesnt seem like too many, not over the course of 14 books. If anything, maybe put a damper on some of them recurring. Dashiva does loving nothing after reincarnation, just have him smoked permanently in the first book.

Too much accuracy can harm an adaptation because things that work in text can absolutely torpedo a film or tv series I'm more interested in whether they'll get tone and messages that WoT tried to convey.

What if Arangar wasnt a reincarnated chosen. What if they were just a new, trans channeler that the aes sedai didn't catch because they use saidin instead of saidar? Dunno if ftm or mtf would be better. Either way, cast a trans actor

In the context of this discussion, "trained by badasses" and "capable of entering the void" are not advantages, they are basic requirements to be a Blademaster. Rand did not gain the void by being a channeler, he gained it from training with Tam, a nonchanneling Blademaster. Residual memories, fair enough, but LTT is a part of him, that is his actual experience supporting him. "He used magic, like he did on Bela" is explicitly contradicted by the text, without any indication that the narration is unreliable on this matter. EDIT: I don't disagree that he had the skill but not the mental to be a Blademaster, I don't think that contradicts my point of "you have to be at least blademaster level to take advantage of a blademaster's mistake and beat them with it" Nihilarian fucked around with this message at 04:20 on May 21, 2021 |

Start with trans actors playing trans characters and work from there. It won't guarantee they get it right but it'll help

Rand makes out with Elayne for like a week and everyone treats it like she climbed Dragonmount and planted a flag in him. Rand thinks she hates him until like half the series later, when he finally meets her again. It isn't a hot take to say that the girls are kinda treating him as property and discussing who he belongs to, that's text. But Rand is a willing participant and is totally able to exert his own will on the situation. You could say it's not a healthy relationship and I'd ask you if there's anything healthy about Rand between books like, 2 and 13? Rand is desperately clinging to whatever comfort he can find, when its available, and trying not to think to hard about what comes after, because what comes after is death. Aviendha believes she betrayed Elayne because she broke the spirit of her promise. If Elayne had told her she could get it, Aviendha wouldn't have spent all that time sharpening a knife. Once it's all out on the table, Rand, Elayne and Aviendha all hop aboard pretty quickly. The only one with any misgivings seems to be Min, who feels trapped by the situation (but she felt trapped just falling in love with Rand). The fact that they eventually do try to communicate makes it healthier than almost anything else Rand does during those books lol.
