[TV] The Wheel of Time

[eschatological]

audiobooks

Audiobooks take more time than reading the physical book. The only "good" audiobooks are for is for listening to books in the background while doing something else, which lowers retention of the story. It is strictly an inferior way of consuming a book.

This is my TED Talk on the evil of modernity vis a vis audiobooks, thanks for attending.

The word you're looking for was "Honest"

I know that is a word that is tough for you all, but facts > feelings

lol, You must be really disappointed in your self then given that all you have is your feelings.

[Gumble]

edited to add.. I'm trying so very hard to see what the fuck is wrong with Natasha o'keefe and nope, not seeing it, I think she is gorgeous (kinda reminds me a bit of Carry Ann Moss), but you know... anything for the hatred right?

Maybe in the new Matrix movie, but she was never THAT good a looking actres in the first place. Lanfear is supposed to be THE best looking woman any man has ever seen.

There is being nice to someone and just flat out lying.

These could have worked, but lord they are going bottom of the barrel.







I personally would go with Jaimie Alexander.... raven hair, gorgeous beyond belief..... stupid MCU should have used her way better.

That must have hurt your brain coming up with such a zinger..... wooo boy

yes because it only takes the greatest minds to say facts > feelings when they are just going off of there own feelings on casting., lol.

look at you thinking your personal taste = objective truth


meanwhile I happen to think Natasha O'keefe is far better looking then Natalie Dormer, but that's the thing about personal preferences! they vary! (and i also love how you chose a candid shot mid talking and compared it to posed shots... cute

The amusing part is you are basing this on the what you find attractive. Which is entirely subjective. Personally I think the Mrs.O'keeffe looks just as good or better then your suggestions. Did you see her other pictures? Or did you purposefully pick one that makes her look bad to you? As her "headshot" looks different.

We also haven't seen her in makeup for WoT which could drastically change her look.

[Biomega]

It's trivially easy for a photo to make pretty much ANYONE look bad. Lighting, the situation, makeup, lens angle, etc... You could take a supermodel and have her look like strip mall trash with a bad shot.

Until we see her in the actual show we have no idea what she'll really look like on screen.

I posted an image of her from "Peaky Binders" so we do have an idea of what she can look like /shrug.

meanwhile hey I can find images that are not as flattering too!


mind you I happen to think that both Jamie and Natasha still look great in those candid shots, but I think my point here is pretty obvious

[bledgor]

Man peak Cathrine Zeta-Jones (like Zorro era, not this sad botox modern era) would have been a perfect Lanfear.

[Nymrohd]

Now you are just being hateful for the sake of it. If you don't like the show that is fine but there is no reason to be insulting a persons appearance just because you are looking for things to hate. Just move on from the show and surround yourself with something you actually enjoy.

I would not call the lady busted but she is no Lanfear. She is a beautiful woman even but Lanfear in both forms that she appears in the books is supposed to be arrestingly beautiful; the most beautiful woman anyone has ever seen.

Personally when I think Lanfear I think Eva Green but that's way above their budget.

And speaking of the Forsaken, can you imagine them trying to recreate any scene with Graendal?

Which is an unrealistic thing for a film to accurately cast. There is a reason why descriptors like that work in books. The reader imagines it and is given an ultimatum of how the character looks rather then using visual cues of "attractivness" to reach that conclusion.

We are talking about a woman who is so attractive that she causes other incredibly attractive woman to fade into the background. Assuming that's the role she is casted as it's incredibly terrible casting. Someone like Daddario or another similar type of actress is what is needed for the role. Sorry but someone who was never at that level just doesn't fit that. Especially due to age range needed to cover as she changes her looks throughout the series originally appearing to be close to Rand's age as Selene.

At this point I expect them to cut half of them as well as Verin and role her role into Moiraine including that part which they won't get to anyway.

Look at this sychophant over here defending a terrible casting choice. Lanfear is literally supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the world, instead they cast some mid looking nerdy chick who looks like she belongs in Napolean Dynamite.

If I had to guess, the degeneracy that is Graendal probably offends Rafe's sensibilities and will also be gutted from the show, not that I anticipate that they will get that far.

Graendal is my favourite, she and Ishamael are the only Forsaken who chose the Dark One for reasons that were not petty.

[Smallfruitbat]

I can see them rolling Graendal, and Moggy into one character and Mesaana and Semirhage into another -if they get *that* far.

That isn't going to be the worst one they are going to roll Verin into either Moraine or Elaida just watch

Ouch. That hurt. I wish the concept of making Verin and Elaida the same person had never been put before my eyes.

Ouch man, that hurts.


Imagining the "tea scene" with Elaida instead of Verin. Or Egwene standing up to Verin at dinner....


Sheesh.... that hurts

Odds on Bryne and Thom being merged.

I feel like I read somewhere that they were only going with 8 forsaken, but that might have been someone theorycrafting what they would do.

Either way feel like a lot of fun side characters are going to be missed (I feel like Tylin might be cut, she was a fun character).

Here's the real question though is it worse than rolling her and Moiraine into one and keeping that the same. I mean in Rafe's mind they were both fighting the dark one after all just in different ways.

Oh geez that would be bad
