Lanfear is portrayed as an envious, manipulative, narcissistic, self-obsessed megalomaniac with extreme impulse control issues. Basically, a psychopath with Borderline Personality Disorder, tremendous beauty and with a huge amount of power.
Modern Hollywood will never get away with portraying that character honestly.

She goes batshit crazy because Lews Therin denies her the Dragon dick and picks Ilyena after the relationship Lews Therin has with Lanfear goes bad because she's vain and really only wants to be with him for the prestige of being with the [literal] most powerful man alive.
Worth noting that as with Lews Therin Telamon, Ilyena also had three names, Ilyena Moerelle Dalisar. A third name is a point of prestige in the Age of Legends granted as a mark of profound respect and achievement. Lanfear's full name? Mierin Eronaile. No third name because for all her looks she isn't actually that impressive beyond her appearance and raw strength in channeling which was the maximum for women but still vastly underneath what men could reach.
But even though she was as strong in the Power as a woman could be, Mierin did not distinguish herself enough to earn a third name; a mark of great social service and prestige that she coveted. This presumably irked her, as she was exceedingly power-hungry. Lews Therin himself eventually left her because she loved the prestige of being his lover more than she loved Lews Therin himself.
She was known to have been quite bitter over Lews Therin leaving her, and made several blatant and public attempts to get him back from his wife Ilyena Therin Moerelle. Lews Therin, however, always rebuffed her advances, as he loved his wife and knew Mierin's character too well.
titless, assless, hipless, 37 year old stick with a pointy man jaw and a big hook nose.
Honestly that description sounds perfect for Faile so they messed up which casting this ended up as. Well, except maybe the stick part as Faile can kind of fight given she's from the Borderlands that are under constant Trolloc attacks.
Reading scifi/fantasy I used to wonder what would this look like as a film, and LOTR proved what money and the right mindset could accomplish.
After the Current Year Era though I just hope no one in hollywood or netflix ever discovers the books I like anymore
What are you on about? Yes from the neck up she looks like an older/middle-aged woman... with makeup. Very obvious makeup. That's probably for the best.
From the neck down her body does look masculine in that picture but I have no idea who that is or if she's even trans. This looks like a troll post though.
For the record, Lanfear is repeatedly described in the books as the most beautiful woman in the world.
So, uh, this ain't that.
On the plus side she's also the reason everything turns to shit as it's literally Lanfear who drills the Bore that lets the Dark One loose.
Yeah watch them retcon that.

This.
So “the most beautiful woman in the world” is a titless, assless, hipless, 37 year old stick with a pointy man jaw and a big hook nose.
I see ten more attractive women on the street every day.

*Touching Cockstasha.
Oddly, upon searching… It looks like you’re right, here.
She doesn’t seem to be trans. Just a bad photo, and not really much of “a looker”, IMHO…
But I don’t know where we are getting that she’s trans, because I didn’t find ANY evidence of that, anywhere…
It has a fucking Adam's apple!

Take your meds and stop fantasising about women you don't like being trans people. Actual fucking weirdo.
Ok, so I looked her up…
I’m not sure she’s actually trans, if this is Natasha O’Keefe from Peaky Blinders..?
Just a bit ugly, and a bad photo. But I couldn’t find ANYTHING to suggest she’s trans. Anywhere. And believe me I looked…
she does look like a man tho https://www.hawtcelebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/natasha-o-keeffe-at-peaky-blinders-season-5-premiere-in-birmingham-07-18-2019-0.jpg
Also the tits (or lack thereof), and the arms, and the Adam’s apple… And the voice, I’m sure…
Some trannies actually “pass”, at least initially…
This one… Very much does not.
Whether that’s a good or a bad thing, in this case… I’m not entirely sure, tbh.
Scary times, though, regardless!
