I wouldn’t really like a Castlevania style anime for WoT. I’d rather something more realistic looking.

I'm going to make a guess that we get some season 2 news this weekend. JordanCon starts Friday. Maybe they will finally release the clips I saw at NYCC.

More casting news is out. I hope the money saved by not hiring notable actors is being spent on the writers room.

There was a video put out yesterday (full of spoilers, won't link) and part of it said that the CGI of the weaves was going to impress people more this season. Alanna's actor also said she thought the wardrobe was even better this season. We at least know that this season the writers room aren't having to squish 10 episodes down to 8, they know it's 8 to begin with unlike last season.

It’s been reported that you wanted/expected a 10 episode season and a 2 hr pilot, so it’s understandable why it had to be so cram packed when cut down to only 1 hour. Is there any possibly of a JudkinsCut being released later on? https://www.wotseries.com/2021/11/24/reddit-ama-with-rafe-judkins/  There are apparently minor book spoilers if you read the whole Q&A

That part about how most watchers went from the pilot right into the series and didn't stop sounds about right. My mother watched it on a whim with zero knowledge of the series at all and is now a WoT turbo fan just from randomly clicking play on it one day.

Unexpectedly losing 20% of your runtime really could explain a lot about season 1, along with covid. Not everything, but a lot.

Harriet also confirmed in a recent interview that wheel of time book sales are up seven percent this year, over last year, and last year was a surge year due to the series. So more and more people are coming in, likely just from clicking on the series on Amazon Prime.

I’m struggling to think of a character from the first book whose physical appearance was described negatively in any way (apart from Lan, who is supposed to have a face cut from granite). Just like all the children in Lake Wobegon, all the characters in WoT are above average.

Jordan seems to dislike tavern keepers. Almost all of them tend to be overweight. Cooks too. It was said before but the worst thing a woman can be described as, with the exception of tavern keepers and cooks, is "handsome" which means she's not some smoking hot babe.

IcePhoenix posted:yeah he's complimenting them when he says they're overweight You can tell a lot about an author from this kind of thing, like how anyone overweight written by JK Rowling is evil, because she's a hateful piece of poo poo. But yeah with RJ it was always like a "never trust a thin chef" kind of thing.

aparmenideanmonad posted:Book chat, but this is def true for main characters, including most notable baddies. There are plenty of ugly characters though, RJ just describes them somewhat indirectly - highlighting specific features (especially noses or being especially thin or fat) in a loosely pejorative fashion. He also tends to focus more on ugly personality traits than physical ones in characters he wants to come across as ugly. Wit and Daise Congar are prime examples of this and they are the first minor named characters you meet in chapter 1 of EOTW. It's been ages but the only one I can think of is the one Borderland captain that everyone 'observes his weak chin' but it's always followed by 'in a few years he'll be old enough to grow a beard to disguise it'.

Rafe has brought back #WoTWednesday's on twitter, this weeks is about Siuan's tattoos https://twitter.com/rafejudkins/status/1651279579850629120?s=20 https://twitter.com/rafejudkins/status/1651279833866063872

I'm not a fan of everything the show does, but I do love the sheer wealth of content that Amazon has as extras, and there's obviously a lot of love and effort put into the production that's great to see too. Suain's tattoos forming a story isn't in the books (she doesn't have tattoos in the books at all), and is completely unnecessary since it won't even be noticed by most viewers but I appreciate them for doing it and it does add a bit to the character without compromising anything from the original source.

It's obvious that Rafe and the team really care about the books, I just hope they are allowed to show that in the second season.

Amazon have greenlit an animated prequel movie called The White Tower which is a positive sign on their long term commitment to the show And no it doesn't seem to have anything to do with New Spring

What the heck would it be about apart from New Spring? Oh unless they are doing a similar thing to Netflix's awful witcher prequel, like a whole-cloth new story by their terrible writers.
