New Wheel of Time animated series from Arcane producer Thomas Vu

the pair will collaborate with iwot Studios CEO Rick Selvage and chief operating officer Larry Mondragon (both producers on Amazon’s now-ended “The Wheel of Time” live-action TV series) to develop and produce a new video game, animated feature films and a new animated television series

“I see tremendous opportunity in expanding ‘The Wheel of Time’ into fully authentic, integrated, interactive, and animated storytelling experiences,” Vu said. “The depth of the mythology provides a foundation for sustained, multi-platform franchise growth.”

None of this sounds encouraging for fans who just want to see a favorite story faithfully told on screen

Unfortunately those iWot guys are largely responsible for a lot of the issues with the IP. They bought the rights a long time ago and every few years have to produce SOMETHING to keep the rights so they just keep producing trash

Hopefully Season 1 Arcane.

Season 2 was okay, but was a jumbled mess at times and it pales in comparison to Season 1.

Current day entertainment simply refuses to honor the source material. It’s like some weird addiction they have.

It’s not “some weird addiction,” it’s a vehicle for Marxist propaganda.

They aren’t talented enough to create their own universe and the morals and tenets of the ideology suck so nobody would watch it anyways.

So they take a product with a baked in audience and “reimagine” it to shove their woke schtick down everyone’s throats.

It’s appalling and exhausting.

Marxism is weird & a dead end concept.

Marxism is an interesting conceptual framework in that all of its foundational tenets are correct, but all of the conclusions that it draws from those tenets are wrong.

People who still believe communism is a workable ideology that has relevance in the real world are the dumbest, most self-deluded people on the planet, and the fact that those selfsame people are the ones who have seized control of the Western zeitgeist is maddening to me. This world will burn largely because of them and they will never comprehend that.

If you can't faithfully adapt the source material, you will not get the fans of the books.

Every season of the show was a slap in the face to book fans. They ruined the lore, the characters, the setting, everything.

People saying it got better, we're only saying so to justify continuing to watch.

Show never got better. Never rectified decimating the characters and lore, never gave us a single honest second of WoT. Not one.

frick that show, and frick this one for trying to defibrillate that festering, misshapen, diseased they/them corpse.

Its simply a worldview that seeks to superimpose their views on an existing story line... and generally they feel some sense of entitlement to do that... while being blind to the fact that once they do what they feel entitled to do they have bastardized the moniker which they sought to capitalize on and wonder why their efforts have failed.

Truth. To put it a little more bluntly: they haven't sold over 100M copies of their books so they shouldn't be fricking with the story, characters and content of a series which has.
