That venn diagram has razor thin overlap. This entire thread also butresses my recent conclusion that most fantasy should just be animated. Animation removes lots of obstacles and allows more opportunity for quality. Take recent animated Spiderman. It has made 500 million with a production cost of 100 million. Not sure of break even cost but it has definately been profitable. Most recent live action movies have been really struggling. Imagine how amazing well written RoP or WoT with 16 hours per season of beautiful animation could have been.

I think the misogynistic, male gaze, slightly gender unequal story that Jordan told would have made better TV if we are sticking to main story points. Rafe said in a GQ article he was correcting the hyper masculine GoT presentatation. Season 2 will show us if he can pull off a WoT that has a feminist slant. War is filled with toxic masculinty. I dont know if they will be able to create an interesting story that is a build up to world war and apocolypse with the time constraints, need to keep female characters in front, and story changes that correct problematic elements. Maybe Rafe and crew will pull it off. I guesd we might get 5 seasons and a truncated Tarmon Gaiden.

Wow. Your faves are almost exactly my least favorite aspects. That's impressive.

He definately had a wig on at times. Other characters as well. I cant remember who but I noticed it at time.

Will strike cause any delays for season 2 or 3. Article I read mentioned showrunners and post production of shows in general being affected by strike.
