Thoughts on the upcoming Wheel of Time TV show?
Will Wight
Well as I....
My siblings both started Both started laughing because I have strong opinions 'cause I love wheel of time and I tweeted this week about the line that Moiraine has in the trailer that it's, she's looking for someone and it's one of the five of you and the five of you being,
Perrin Mat Rand Egwene and Nynaeve. Well the one thing that we know about the person she's looking for is that it is a man, so it should have been one of the three of you, which is what indeed it is in the books.
So what I'm hoping is that they are, they're clearly playing it so that you, the viewer doesn't know who the main character is, so hopefully this is an Aes Sedai sort of thing, Aes Sedai like Moiraine are the sorceresses of the setting and they are known for lying without technically lying?
So hopefully what she has said is something that is technically true.
It is one of the five of you, and that is something where they're going to be less certain and she has not lied.
That's what I'm hoping and not that they fundamentally changed the core story of the wheel of time, because if they did that, the fact that it's a man is super relevant.
To the plotline, because men can't use magic or they go insane, and the savior figure is supposed to be a man who can use magic.
Who is going to go insane?
so if they change that I'm going to be, uh... in the struggle zone.
In terms of my expectations for the series, I have low expectations.
I always do for any adaptation and it's one of the reasons why I have never been someone who has actively pursued adaptations of my own work, mainly because I just assume all adaptations are bad.
Will Wight
So I do have a vision of cradle.
It is the vision that I'm putting in the books.
I would love for there to be an animated version, especially an anime, would make my life complete, but if I don't get it, Oh well, I know that most adaptations just aren't great.
And because of that, I've never been enthusiastic about getting my work adapted.
So that is how I feel about Wheel pf time.
Do I want the wheel of time to be adapted?
I don't care.
Wheel of Time exists in a great format.
That format being a series of novels, so do I need it to be a TV show no, I don't, but I'm hoping it's really good.
That would be awesome.
I would Love for it to be, I thought the adaptation of a Song Ice and fire was great all seven seasons.
All seven seasons were just fantastic and if it was that quality I would be very impressed.
How would you feel about a Ruby style adaptation?
if you're talking about the animation of Ruby? very positively!
So yeah.

How did you feel about Dune will?
Will Wight
How do I feel about dune? I like Dune a lot, I'm not sure how much I recommend it to other people because it's extremely slow and it doesn't properly end, but for me it was fantastic! I Loved it I was super immersed in it. I really liked Dune as a kid. I thought the Lore was fantastic.
The worldbuilding was great, the acting was phenomenal.
The writing was really good.
The music was some of the coolest I've ever seen in the movie.
