  1. Happy bday Thom! 🙂
  2. Yeah I'm with you there. Someone else said they hope its only used for background/touch ups. That could probably work and cut down some costs while being tolerable to look at. If it ever gets made. But I'm glad its at least out in the news being talked about again, it could drum up attention and open up some doors.
  3. "Nearly a year after Prime Video canceled its live-action Wheel of Time series, Variety has reported that Arcane's Thomas Vu and iwot Studios will be adapting the novels anew. Currently, an animated Wheel of Time series, a new video game, and animated feature films are in development." As seen in a Screen Rant article published here: https://screenrant.com/wheel-of-time-movies-tv-show-video-games-development-thomas-vu/ What are your thoughts so far?
  4. Okay so funny enough, this article just dropped. Seems like an animated series may be in the works. https://screenrant.com/wheel-of-time-movies-tv-show-video-games-development-thomas-vu/
  5. Sad to hear its definitely over. I really enjoyed the 3rd season, it captured the energy of the book I had in mind while reading it; the weaves were very similar to what I imagined, they even made them distinct to each person in S3. That being said, I had to look at it as another spinning of the wheel to get past some alterations. Much like in Hunger Games they changed or cut characters completely. At least there is some new fun fantasy coming our way. 😕 The comics have been really nice to see, I agree that an animated show is a good idea. Maybe in 5-10 years it will be picked up in some form, studios cycle through stories fast these days.
  6. It's been great. To be honest I've been an Accepted for quite some time because I have been on and off the website for years, taking it at my own pace. Thats one thing that worked well with my ADHD, even if I took an extended LOA I was always welcome back to continue my path. 🙂
  7. Hi Prowler! Welcome to DM, I'm Blueberry, an Accepted from the Gray Ajah. I also have ADHD, so I can relate to life being full of fires to put out, as well as the struggle of being a reader with a wandering mind. I hope you get to explore and enjoy the social and discussion groups here! Every month or so theres a themed site-wide event that takes place in the Tar Valon forum, so even if you pop in every once in a while there will be something on the go. 🙂
  8. Updates: • Fans have organized for an airplane to carry a banner across the sky tomorrow afternoon in California in their efforts to #SaveWoT • They're also sending personalized physical letters to a suggested list of recipients from the #SaveWoT website. My favourite so far was a leather mail slip with an entire engraved map of Randland.
  9. I hear where you’re coming from, it’s true that book fans were alienated by the changes, and that might have impacted viewership. But I think it’s important to recognize that adaptations aren’t the same thing as retellings. They’re not just translations. They’re reimaginings that have to function within a completely different medium with its own limitations and strengths. And sometimes becomes a victim of its time. I think GoT and similar higj stskes shows really made the writers feel like they had to match the energy to get viewers. Jordan’s story was sprawling, and paced over thousands of pages. A direct, beat-for-beat version wouldn’t just be impossible logistically. It might honestly not work on screen, not in this era of streaming at least. It’s not Jordan’s exact telling, but this is version that tries to keep the core aspects of the world alive. I get the frustration some book fans feel, some changes were too much for me as well. I felt like season 3 was as close to the way I imagined it when I read it as a teen, though. I really hope we get a Season 4. it feels like the show was just coming into its own. And the show managed get a lot of new people to pick up the books, too.
  10. Thanks Kathy. I've signed and shared the campaign on Tiktok plenty. I'll be sending letters this week as well. 🙂 I think my favourite contribution so far was that one fan who just bought a bilboard of their own accord.
  11. Hi Bodewhin! Welcome to Dragonmount. Theres no shortage of people who love to talk WoT and fantasy here. Your repetoire of fantasy books might make you a good fit to visit the Brown Ajah over in the hall 😁 They have an annual personal book reading challenge going. We just celebrated mental health awareness month in the Tar Valon forum, and next week we'll be dropping pride month activities and discussions too 🙂 It's rough finishing the books, hopefully you can find a thread or two here to fill the void. What games do you play with your nephew? My brother has me playing minecraft, roblox, amd something called crossy road.
  12. Hi Guloo, welcome to DM. I'm Blueberry, an aspie from the Gray Ajah. 🙂 Hope you find your way around the threads and enjoy the discussion groups and social clubs.
  13. It seems the same folks who dropped the Renew WoT website & got 180k e-mails sent out have started another, following the cancellation of the show. People who signed it will get an update on the new campaign soon. https://savewot.com/take-action/ They have a few ways to take acction to get the attention of other streaming services it seems. I'm personally hopeful after seeing all the fan efforts on social media the last few days.
