We will find a way to watch it. NOW CEASE YOUR INVESTIGATIONS, LEST YE WAKE LAWYERS.

Reminds me of reading Modesty Blaise as a kid, she had a beefcake partner/sidekick. That's one of the only examples I can think of. But yeah, I suppose setting up Nynaeve with him might be an uphill struggle to begin with for many audiences. But wasn't it kinda like that in the books, too?

Yeah, looks cool. He's got some impressive textiles for sale.

First glimpses of Fal Dara, I think? Looked cool.

Also Abell is apparently now a bad person?

"Eastbound and Down, loaded up and truckin'." - Robert Jordan.

Yeah, these Whitecloaks are definitely moving more into high-concept territory. Another thing that will take time getting used to, but we'll see how it translates to the screen in terms of movement, etc.

:lol Sorry, didn't mean to target anyone! I guess I just mean I feel like I've seen similar defensiveness from many different fandoms/communities I've been a part of, and I just don't think there's any point in trying to "defend the honor" of writers, movie-makers, etc. from accusations of...

Wait 'till we get to the Shadow Rising and it's basically Dune. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love them, but I also don't get my underpants in a bunch when realizing objective similarities. It's fine.

The Eye of the World is basically beat for beat LotR, no way around that.

I just think it was a bit weird that Lan introduced Moiraine like she was a wrestler about to put on a show. It gave me strong "anime cliche" vibes.

This Winespring Inn is definitely more stoney and castle-like than I'd imagined, but that's just a creative decision. Can't nitpick too much. Moiraine was introduced in a more casual manner in the books though, wasn't she? Or am I misremembering.

It's a bit... composit-y. I don't hate it or anything, something just feels like it wasn't adjusted to fit together.

Moiraine's got dem soulderpads.

I'm not too fussed about the exact shade of a horse's fur, so I won't complain! Plus Pike looks the deal.

Bela was considered to be an inessential character, and her plotline has been folded into that of Egwene for better dramatic effect in a tv-series. /s

Yeah, thanks for putting this into words, I struggled a bit. Just because they're not wealthy enough for the most expensive fabrics doesn't mean they don't know sew to fit clothing. With this all being said, I guess the style is growing a little on me after having looked at it a bit more. It's...

No casual movie news reader is going to know what the hell channeling is in this specific context. "Mystic" is... a bit weird, but fine I guess. Honestly, calling it straight up magic for a casual audience would be better. The Aes Sedais are sorceresses in everything but name.

They really love the cold color balance, don't they? I was weirdly... disappointed is maybe the word, with the costumes. They're very plain. I guess this makes sense for the Two Rivers kids, and maybe Lan wouldn't exactly be rocking embroidery or whatever, but it does feel a little bit...
