Joshie 714 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Excuse me laydehs, but why isn’t there a Wheel of Time thread?! It’s on Amazon Prime, came out in November I believe, based on the book series of the same name. I absolutely loved it, biggest enjoyment in ages from a series, so much so I’m now halfway through the first book. Anyone else watched it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lona Delery 7,180 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 ive wanted to read the books for years now as an ASOIAF replacement but i keep forgetting how faithful is the series to the books from as far as u can tell? Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind, I wanna get off but I keep riding the ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother of Puppies 35,580 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I started watching it... I'm on episode 5... it's ok but this ain't GOT THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Oak 6,998 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I liked it! The CGI was pretty bad, though, especially the landscape shots. Also, after the last episode I felt like not many things had happened during this season. I hope next season has better CGI and pacing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, there’s obvious differences but overall, I’d say the series sticks pretty close to the book. From episode 1 to episode 8 or whatever, I’d say the noticeable difference is there’s less trollocs in the series! 1 hour ago, Mother of Puppies said: I started watching it...

I think I prefer it to The Witcher? Do you? 1 hour ago, NoahSuns said: I liked it! The CGI was pretty bad, though, especially the landscape shots.

jimmytimestep 2,453 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Rosamund Pike was incredible in this. My only gripe is that some of the young actors in central roles feel more like "models who act" rather than the other way around, and next to heavy hitters with deep, theatre-based backgrounds like Rosamund, Daniel Henney, and Kate Fleetwood they occasionally let down. But overall in terms of the spectacle, while not always perfect it really delivered, was gorgeous to look at, and is one of the most accessible and easy to watch fantasy series ever without deeplycompromising the weight of the source material. There are light compromises, sure. But I had a hell of an easier time getting into this than I did GoT. It grabs you from moment one and keeps the action going.

Darkgod 82 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Still in ep 5 .. the story is great and have potential . But there's something wrong with the acting .. and they way they roll the camera in fight scene it gave me headache. Hope the season 2 is better . BTW I think its too early to compare it with got .. even got s1 was not that good . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book 3 is better so far. Honestly, finish up book 1 but it gets better in my opinion. By the way, when Moirane told Siuan to get on her knees I hollered.

heavymetalartpop 304 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 It’s trash. I read all the books and was excited for the show, but nothing about the show is “wheel of time” except for the characters’ names. I understand consolidating storylines as this can’t be a 14 season show, but they add in so many of these arbitrary plotlines and ignore much of the pre existing storyline. It’s really unfortunate and I tried to forgive it for a couple of episodes, but it’s truly a slap in the face to the world that Robert Jordan created.

Affinity4PoP 14 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thoroughly enjoyed the season! Rosamind Pike is incredible as Moraine. The season was too short for me 😫 but still loved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightrush891 727 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I watched the first few episodes and loved it, but I was high off some potent edibles. I’ll have to rewatch. I have nothing but time, because I’m forced to isolate before I can fly home from Brazil. Pray for me y’all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
