Ah, that must be why Rand Al'Thor is the rebirth of Rand Al'Thor, and not Lews Therin Telamon.Of course it would have the same characters. That's literally the fucking point.

Nice how you completely disregarded the two quotes from the author on the subject that I posted complete with sources.Ah, that must be why Rand Al'Thor is the rebirth of Rand Al'Thor, and not Lews Therin Telamon.

WoT is actively filming season 2, has confirmed season 3 and is the best Amazon Prime show release ever.Where is this not being allowed to dislike an adaptation for deviating too far from the source coming from? I don't like it because they deviated too much, or in the wrong direction. How is that not fair? No one says you can't like it.
Besides, these aren't adaptations, these are barely at the level of crappy fanfics that rely on tropes like race changes, sex changes, and sexuality changes. Then they sit back somehow expecting that those things make it wrong to criticize it. I suppose it is wrong to call this stuff fanfiction. Fans actually like the source content. Of late, I am sometimes not even sure the show writers have seen the source materiel past a few Youtube clips.
Glad some of you like it. You will prolly get at least a season 2 of Bebop, I am not sure WOT will get that far though. It's not going to be Amazon's GOT that's for sure though.
*shrug* if they want to build suspense for new-to-the-story people, that's fine, but it doesn't fit in with the books for reasons I've already mentioned. The idea that the taint could, first, come back in a later revolution, and second, be on the other side, fine, that's possible, but there's have to be much large changes to fit that, and anything beyond that "well, sometimes it goes after men, sometimes after women" would require huge changes to the lore of the series. The only reason female Aes Sedai are tolerated is because they cannot touch the tainted magic.Also the showrunners have said multiple times that the same character is gonna be the dragon anyway, so this is just a way to build up suspense and from what I'm hearing from people I know who haven't read the book - it's doing a really fucking good job.
Best Amazon show ever released? You are welcome to your opinion, but, of the Amazon shows I have seen, The Tick is one of the best. It is better by far than WOT Lite at least.WoT is actively filming season 2, has confirmed season 3 and is the best Amazon Prime show release ever.
I'd be shocked if Bebop doesn't get a second season but it hasn't been announced yet.
By viewer count. Sorry, should have given a metric.Best Amazon show ever released? You are welcome to your opinion, but, of the Amazon shows I have seen, The Tick is one of the best. It is better by far than WOT Lite at least.
we have a WoT thread ya know...

fellas, go to the other thread.Rand is only called the rebirth of Lews Therin because that was the previous age and no one alive knows anything of the 1st age nor of previous wheel turnings. The second book makes it pretty clear that Rand has lived before and will live again when the 3rd age comes back around. The flicker moment even talked about different turnings of the wheel. When Rand dies, the soul will be reborn into another body either in the 4th age or into the 5th when it is needed again, much like all the heroes of the horn.
Well, nobody other than Rand himself, who literally had Lews Therin in his head as a ridealong. And everyone knew the legend of the Dragon Reborn, and of the poisoning of saidin. IIRC women joined with men in a circle could even feel the taint.Rand is only called the rebirth of Lews Therin because that was the previous age and no one alive knows anything of the 1st age nor of previous wheel turnings.

I need that like I need a new hole in my head.and if you dont have a genmay account, time to pony up.
notice how theres no ads around here? thats how, $5/yr and you can have your WoT talk in the correct thread...I need that like I need a new hole in my head.
I don't object to spending the money, but the incipient time sink.notice how theres no ads around here? thats how, $5/yr and you can have your WoT talk in the correct thread...
plus there are other sections than genmay/soapbox if those are what youre opposed to.
ok, that i get, probably more than i should....I don't object to spending the money, but the incipient time sink.
I did just get the "lifetime" sub, even if I don't use those forums. Help keep the lights on, blah blah blah.ok, that i get, probably more than i should....

I get to swear now, right?
I have a three strike system.I’m sad it’s cancelled, I liked it, until I saw Ed…. That is just one anime trope that doesn’t work with real people it instantly made me cringe.
Its not malice its incompetence.I'm not happy it's cancelled, but I sort of expected it would be. There was always some slim hope they would pull their head out of their rear in later episodes/seasons.
I don't believe it was malicious on their part, I just think they misunderstood the things that made the original great to so many people.
Maybe, but I’ll have to watch the Anime again because I remember Julia and Vicious being 1 dimensional and basically showing up out of the blue.I have a three strike system.
strike 1: Spike's character is just wrong, he is way to outwardly invested in having people like him. Spike never outwardly cared if someone liked him.
Strike 2: Dialogue is very cringy, lacks any nuance or depth even approaching a late 90s cartoon. Really sounds like a draft script forced into production.
Strike 3: Viscious and Julia are just completely awful, not only in diservice to their original characters, but as a characture in general they are nothing more than tropes and some of most overused and uninspired tropes you can pick.
Not sad at all, this trash needs to burn so maybe one day someone will actually do it right.
They are one dimensional, but the dimension is a lot less cringe.Maybe, but I’ll have to watch the Anime again because I remember Julia and Vicious being 1 dimensional and basically showing up out of the blue.
But at least the Netflix adaption could have done something with them.They are one dimensional, but the dimension is a lot less cringe.
Vicious is a full on sociopath, Julia is just a femme fatale.
They transformed them into cringy angry man baby and generic evil mastermind.
In the original they don't matter much, they like much of the ancilliary cast serve as a vehicle for the primary theme of letting go (and the inability of people to do so) ultimately not being able to let go and move on is why Spike dies.
You can justify this tripe however you like, but it basically went from jazzy casablanca with soft cartoon tones trying to be mature in the original to full blow 90's american cartoon bs with those two. Vicious might as well be Starscream at this point.
Agreed.https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/9/22827010/cowboy-bebop-netflix-live-action-cancel
Canceled, not surprised honestly. It wasn't terrible, wasn't great either. Would of liked to seen a second season redemption, but alas, seems it can't get out of the well.
That is a character that doesn’t translate out of a cartoon environment. There are certain things we accept in an animated universe that absolutely can not work in live action, this is one of them. I was enjoying the show and wondering how they would change Ed to work, when I got to the end and saw this I actually gasped and it was like the fuck they didn’t.
At least I got new Yoko Kanno album out of it.
Coulda been a lot worse. You coulda got a new Yoko Ono album out of it.At least I got new Yoko Kanno album out of it.
