"Yes."
There is no way WOT can be made faithfully simple due to the volume of content in the books that takes place over 3 years of time. Nobody will be able to make 14 books worth of content in 3 years to stave off the very visible aging that will happen regardless of starting with adults to avoid child actors suddenly springing up half way through a show ala Cirroc Lofton in DS9 or Bran in GoT.
While there is content that can be cut, we all know the wokesters will want to add in their own irrelevant shit which just bloats the content even more so it's a shitshow before even day 1 of shooting.
Plus I feel like any representation of how Weaves are meant to look will be half-assed CGI that makes Cal-Arts look appealing.
There've been some teasers released. You're 100% on them changing and adding stuff, then claiming there's "no time to fit everything in".
Why not cut out the racism and faggotry subplots and make the time, then, assholes? (I'm making an educated prediction that there will be these subplots).
There are tons of quotes from the books that the main cast is white + see Jordan's casting:
Rand: a young Ben Affleck
Mat: James Garner at age 21
Perrin: a young Val Kilmer
Egwene: Audrey Hepburn at age 18
Nynaeve: a young Jacqueline Bisset
Aviendha: a young Sophia Loren
Elayne: Nicole Kidman at age 18
Min: Isabella Rossellini
Moiraine: Hedy Lamarr
Lan: Liam Neeson in one of his craggier roles
Birgitte: Lucy Lawless of Xena
Faile: Cher at age 19
Thom: Patrick Stewart with hair
Verin: a young Margaret Rutherford
Siuan (after stilling): Renee Zellweger (before appearance change)
Gareth Bryne: a combination Charlton Heston and John Wayne
Morgase: Michelle Pfeiffer
Berelain: Isabelle Adjani
Padan Fain: Alan Rickman
Lanfear: a younger Catherine Deneuve
And no one allowed to post this list or the quotes on the big WOT sites: post deleted, thread locked, instant ban.
No one allowed to quote from the author of the series...
Fucking lol with how the main comments regarding Faile's appearance are her nose.
So glad those books are actually finished so any adaptations can just be ignored. Even the Billy Zane retainment flick was shit although that's not surprising since it was literally the prologue to the first book with Billy Zane as Ishamael and whoever as Lews Therin Telamon as The Dragon wandered around the bodies of his kin. I don't expect the "actual" show to be any better. Nor will I afford it the bandwidth on the high sees.
