twistedmentat posted:I tried to read the first book 20 years ago and I was bored to death. Please note this is also when I was at my move voracious reading, so its less I was too young and more it was boring. I remember telling my friend who lent me it that it made me think if Bilbo's party just kept going and going and there was no point to any of it. He told me "oh it gets real good in book 4" and I'm thinking I don't want to read that much before the series gets good. Well, you missed out. They're really good books, you should read them.

The Game of Thrones seasons that were book adaptations were really good, great TV. I have never read any of those books.

Johnny Joestar posted:robert jordan kind of died because of a heart condition that didn't really have much in the way of a solid cure and wasn't particularly related to him being old or anything, so i generally find jokes about that sort of thing to be dumb given that most people don't expect to just get told by a doctor 'hey your poo poo's hosed, you have this long to live' and then die a year later Yeah, Jordon was actively writing and working on the series all the way up until his health was too far gone to allow him to physically do so. There's absolutely no comparison to be made to GRRM, who is simply lazy and doesn't feel like working on his series. Terrible comparison.

The gender essentialism is going to cause some waves, I suspect. I don't have any issue with it, but I can see how some people on the internet in the year 2021 are going to probably get pretty grumpy.

Vavrek posted:That's an interesting point. The question I always have is: so that's what the pigments look like fresh, right? What about after a year of exposure to light and air? It's a very dramatic point to say "Instead of austere white marble, everything was SUPER BOLD," but it's not going to stay super bold very long. I would guess that they'd be repainted and touched up fairly frequently.

Binged through all 3 episodes last night, I want more! It's really good! My partner who watched it with me really enjoyed it as well and she wants to keep watching. She was initially skeptical and went in not expecting to like it because she kept saying she was afraid it would end up "with too much male-gaze, like game of thrones". She's very glad its not like game of thrones. Hell yeah, Wheel of Time! e: went and left a 5 star review on Amazon. The 1 stars are hilariously bad. How are u fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Nov 19, 2021 |

The blame truly does lie at Robert Jordan's feet for failing to clearly describe his characters. Like, he could have done a thorough job and described Egwene as quote:"dark of skin, no seriously Black, like African Black, you know? Those people you hate and fear? That type of Black."

Nah, it's actually been really good in all of those areas so far. I didn't expect it to be this good.

Haramstufe Rot posted:How sad is it to blow like 11 million dollars on an episode, only to make it completely unwatchable due to shaky cam. This has literally the quality of a mid-semester project - and not a good one - at college. I thought it was very watchable and pretty intense. They did good work.
