And how does the story end? Main Character Rand gets his full harem of three ridiculously hot women who are all just fine sharing him and a new body (probably with a bigger dick than his original one, I suspect) and his freedom from any and all responsibility for the giant mess he’s made of the world, while Egwene…

Now, to make the entire Aiel race, or even most of their clans, non-white? That would be audacious, and I’d be genuinely impressed. I just think that Jordan’s own racial ineptitude left a lot of people unrepresented in his world, and the show should focus on remedying that somehow. Especially if they’re going to cut…

A non-white primary male lead for a multi-million-dollar tentpole series? I think we’re making progress, but Hollywood is nowhere close to that level yet. Rand will be one of the whitest white boys that ever did white boy.

It’s not a link for me, though. I’m in Chrome, and all I see is a blurry picture.

PFT is a national treasure. He should be in more stuff.

If they cut the Sea Folk or even limit them, they will have to do some serious pretzel-twisting to get much diversity among the show’s cast. My hot take is that one or even two of the “main three” guys should be a person of color, and that both Min and Aviendha (and all the Aiel by default) should be too. The idea of…

Are you serious? Jordan lifted SO MUCH of his world from other authors, whole cloth! Aside from the obvious Tolkien parallels like the Mountains of Mist/Misty Mountains and Lan being Aragorn’s grumpier clone/brother, there’s the entirety of the Aiel being lifted from the Fremen in Dune, to say nothing of the obvious…

Remember how the women basically villainized Mat Cauthon because he had the audacity to get laid? 

Most “central protagonists” don’t disappear for 4-5 books. 

It could also be that they’re going to try to play “Who’s the real Chosen One” with viewers until they have to reveal that it’s Rand. 

Well, even there, Egwene got the female character version of that same trope. Two hot guys want her, the backwater farmtown girl who gets to ascend to the highest seat in lady-politics in all the land! And they’re brothers! And they’re both princes!

I am just LOVING how Wheel of Time is being sold as this massive magic fantasy series, when in reality, even the main characters don’t really have the skill to use their powers until like Book 6. io9 has an article that features scenes from what can only be one of the battles involving the Asha’man, who are such a…

All skirt-smoothing will be done with CGI, due to pure volume. 

and we were drawn to its timely narrative featuring powerful women at the core

I’m surprised that Curvy Wife Guy hasn’t been hired by Splinter yet. 

“Kanye West is the anti-Wakanda” may be the most perfect summary I’ve ever seen about him. 

We’re as exhausted by all these latest twists in the hat-based antics of Kanye West as everybody else by this point

Pete Davidson is all about his “story” and not at all about his humor, which is juvenile and pedestrian. His claim to fame was that his dad died on 9/11, which is nearly 20 years ago, so not as much to ride on these days, in other words. Guy’s clearly looking for a new “hook” to make sure people know about him. What’s…

“I’m giving up my slave name.”

Worry? I’m making popcorn!
