Re: Wheel of Time season 1 episode 8 "The Eye of the World" season finale

Though as others have said this is still a minor issue. If they want to do something new maybe choose a subject that’s new. Not take something written over the last 25 years then try to force modern day on to it. It’s like the production team was too lazy and incompetent to actually create a story ...

Re: Wheel of Time season 1 episode 8 "The Eye of the World" season finale

I mean seriously how did Nynaeve come back to life? How are Loial and Uno going to survive? How will we trust our be interested in any deaths in the future? So dumb What is funny is how many people we have seen brought back from the dead in this show. It should be a running joke at this point. 1. N...

Re: Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 7: Dark Along the Ways Prediction and Discussion

I hated this episode the most so far. First 5 minutes was okay, except for the armor being made of butter. And the last 5 minutes was okay (at least the Rand story is picking up)... But the middle was torture. The Rand scenes are very brief, and nothing has been explained about what is going to happ...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon

Ah apologies, your post was just the one I noticed regarding Rand and I wasn't sure what the issue with him was, except maybe the lack of setup about the Red hair. Daniel Greene has a nice video about the diversity with the fella from a dusty wheel, where they've done a lot of research regarding th...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon

Aye, was more because it seemed like Dinuc had an issue with how Rand looked and that he didn't stand out enough I guess? But it seems like they've set him up properly to be the only redheaded "non Aiel", they just haven't been super good at relaying that to the audience that it is something out of...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon

You just seem to have zero understanding of what cultural stereotypes look like, and zero interest in learning. To me that makes your opinion on whether something is racist or not worthless. I don't want to pollute this thread with Harry Potter, so just read the following link if you are actually i...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon

You don't even know if Cho Chang is supposed to be Korean or Chinese and you're commenting on whether it's a stereotype or not. If you had any notion of what you are actually eligible to have an opinion on, you would know that this is not it. I am allowed to have an opinion on anything I want, beca...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon

What makes a character a stereotype isn't that they're minor character. It's when baseless generalizations, rooted in ignorance and often bigotry, are used to define a character's existence in the plot. It's when you have characters with names like Luna Lovegood and Nymphadora Tonks and all manners...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon

Harry Potter, with a plot that drew heavily on the language of anti-racism, had exactly five students of colour in the original movies, none of them major characters, all of them stereotypes. Lotr descriptions (replicated in the films): "In the good corner, the riders of Rohan, aka the "Whiteskins"...

Re: The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 6: The Flame of Tar Valon

Spare me the fake tears, I never called -you- ignorant. I said the show is depicting the aforementioned things with 'a little more tact and a little less ignorance than what RJ wrote'. And he said the show should have been created as RJ wrote it so by association it is also calling him ignorant. I ...
