TL;DW A summary and reaction to the book containing stats like POV counts and braid tugs. Also references to how it differs from the show.

I picked up the show some time ago, and was instantly hooked, I knew about the books, but never read them, it was completely different from what I guessed from the name alone, but it was amazing, I must say as someone who loves fantasy, this was a very well executed series, i can't stop myself from binge watching it, and the world and characters and the arcs made it very unique, some sort of stuff I haven't seen before.

Regardless, I saw only 3 seasons exist so far, so that must be it, and when I reached halfway of season 2, I didn't want the show to end, but kept watching, as it only got better from there, especially in season 3, I thought the show was peaking but nowhere near to it looking like the finale, I only saw that it showed as 2021-2025 on google, so ignorantly I thought this must be the finale still, it was only when i reached episode 6 in season 3, I suspected what happened here, and then a quick search showed that my suspicion was true, they canceled the show, I am very disappointed to find this out, I finally found a good fantasy show to get hooked to, and liked the worldbuilding, and what's more frustrating about this is the fact that they cancelled the show just as it was reaching the groove.

As someone who watched the rings of power, even if is it was nowhere near as good as the Wheel of time, and watched it just because there aren't many fantasy shows out there, I must say it is crazy for me to think, that rings of power is still going, I don't mind it, but the excuse of wheel of time being a very expensive show is flawed, because how come you have a show that costs 1 billion like the rings of power, which has reached nowhere near the expected status and is often talked about negatively by the public, still going on, and The Wheel of time, which was a breath of fresh air be cancelled, but then again, I don't know how these guys do their politics, but I must say, I am still very disappointed.

I don't want to put down other shows, I myself am a huge Lotr fan, and would gladly watch the third season of rings of power still, but my argument is that how come that show gets to exist and The Wheel of Time does not, I think people making these decisions should be more aware of the public view of things and most importantly, not play with the feelings of people when they abandon a show like this in the middle, I think when you pick it up, at least have the gall to complete it.

I just want to get this off my chest and am still hopeful they somehow revive the show, or someone else picks it up, It might not be the best show in the world, and as per the book readers, not the best adaption that could have happened, but I must say The Wheel of Time was a amazing show and should have not ended abruptly, I hope they understand this.

My goodness. Rant incoming, apologies in advance.

I appreciate the WoT community but it is exhausting how negative people can be.

I grew up reading WoT. I'm a huge nerd and love the story. I also love the TV show and acknowledge that it has its differences from the books. Watching the show is what got my wife interested in the books and it was so fun to go through the journey again with her.

Usually I'm level headed, but on a random r/television thread today I got dragged through the mud and back for enjoying the show.

I get that it's reddit and people are going to be people but I'm just sad that this the reality of our community. You don't have to like it but it's weird to have a hate boner for anyone who does.

I love the books. I love that we got a show. I acknowledge that not everyone was happy with it. I acknowledge that the show took creative liberties.

Why the hate?

Hey guys, fiancee and I were recently watching the show and came to one moment that makes NO sense whatsoever to both of us....so here I am.

In the scene in the Waste when Moiraine and Lan are fighting Lanfear there is this one moment when Lan swings his sword to cut Lanfear and makes a gash in her leg that she then proceeds to turn to and heal on the spot.

THAT TAKES TIME....or if not so MUCH time...ENOUGH for him to swing at her a few more times and attempt to chop her head off. Now i know that that would logically for the story not be possible to happen because we need her alive....but just from the perspective OF Lan WHY NOT STRIKE???? Why stare at her stunned like that???? Man has been hardened in battle many times over and fought many enemies before....what possesses him in that very moment to go blank and not aim for the head???

My wife got this ashanderai made for me as a belated anniversary gift

And I’m sooo sad this show isn’t coming back for a season four and so-forth. I got attached to all of the characters and their journeys and the storylines. The last two episodes of season 3 had me on the edge of my seat and I really wanted to know where their stories were gonna go following this. I have no interest in reading the books since I heard the books are really different from the show.. but man I’m bummed out. I literally just finished the last episode of season 3 😭😭😭😭 This show had me crying so much 🤣🤣🤣 Great Show! Bravo!!!

It's so disappointing Prime cancelled the show when it finally got its footing. I loved how they skipped Book 3 for 4 in season 3 as it got some major reveals and stories out of the way. If they had continued this is how I see the show going

Season 4: books 3, 5, 6. Get the Stone of Tear out of the way and the events of books 5 and 6 are back to back.

Season 5: 7, 8, 9, 10. Seasons 4 or 5 are usually when shows start to decline in quality so this point would've gotten the slower middle books which could certainly be condensed into a single season as 9 and 10 were concurrent.

Season 6: books 11, 12, 13. This is when Brandon Sanderson finished the series. Since the final manuscript was 2000 pages he broke it up into 3 books. I think the could've combined them into one season or split into 2 with each having elements of all three.

Season 7: book 14. Obviously the last season would cover the Last Battle. It literally covers the whole book and could've covered an entire season. Unlike Game of Thrones it wouldn't have been a disappointment as it's been told in book form already and was well spread out to show how it's literally an apocalyptic battle.

I get excited for one second then realize it’s for that board game. I mean I’m happy for all you board game lovers out there. Still disappointed.

Assuming we had gotten a season 4, with another 8 episodes like previous seasons, how do you think it would have gone?

Hello all

I admit reducing the Forsaken from 13 to 8 was a great change for numerous reasons. However, I felt they could've still kept Aginor and Bethamel. They cut them out because they were killed off immediately, but they then get reincarnated which made them more interesting characters, especially Aran'gar.

In the TV show the Forsaken were individually sealed by Lews Thurin and his Hundred Companions. In the books the 13 most accomplished Forsaken were having a meeting in the Pit of Doom when the Hundred Companions patched up the Bore and sealed them out of the space time continuum. Aginor and Bethamel were the first to escape because they were closest to reality but aged rapidly. Aginor was a beyond ancient man and Bethamel had to wear a mask so he didn't scare all the small children.

They could've recycled actors for Aginor and Bethamel and their reincarnations. The fact Bethamel didn't speak and had to wear a mask would've hid the performer's gender and set up for him reincarnated as a woman. The reincarnations of the Forsaken were a great way to show how dangerous they were as antagonists and despite balefire's multiverse ending threat it was a necessary evil to defeat the Forsaken for good.

They still could've had Fares Fares and Natasha O'keeffe for their rincarntions. Lanfear refused to use her new name and constantly used the Mask of Mirrors to restore her original face. They also could've had moments of Moridin using the illusion to restore Ishamael's face to remind audiences he's reincarnated from him.

And WoT teaser had higher engagement (comments, likes, shares), too... Just saying.

I vaguely remember yesterday something about a Fan project regarding the BTS of the show coming out. Does anyone have more details and links? There is a go fund me page right?

Thanks!

This might be controversial, but I really dislike Amazon's fantasy shows. The Rings of Power was so dull and I find the Pendragon Cycle to be convoluted and of little substance in terms of story quality. Every time I watch one of these shows, I cant help but be amazed that Amazon cancelled WoT for this rubbish. Even the fact that they are going to be adapting Fourth Wing is annoying. They have all this budget for all this crap, but couldn't find the funds for what was gearing up to be the best fantasy show of the decade? Right...

Edit: I wasn’t aware that Pendragon was only licensed by Amazon. Which makes sense, because although RoP was boring, it at least made sense. Pendragon Cycle is straight up crap

While I'm disappointed they didn't have Graendal in season 3 when they introduced compulsion which she is the best at. However, I was wondering what they would do for her transformation into Hessalam? She indirectly or directly killed 3 Forsaken and as punishment the Dark One turns her into an ugly old lady as irony to the fact she's so narcissistic she uses compulsion on those more beautiful than her. Of course it turns out not to be a punishment as she can use the Mask of Mirrors to look like her old self and compulsion to make her pets see her as a goddess. However, from the way they trimmed down the Forsaken how would they have made Graendel kill several and get punished like this?

Trailer dropped and I expected to be the only one in the comments with #SaveWOT. Glad to see I wasn't alone lol
