I don't know what to do with myself right now I'm like thrumming with glee I'm just like do we...start the series from the beginning now??

here's the thing about doing third world fantasy and making race just not an issue in universe

you've still got to be mindful of how what you're portraying is influenced by and makes an impact on real world inequalities and prejudices

I think Wheel of Time has done a better job of that than most honestly and it feels like they've learned from a lot of mistakes but it definitely still makes some missteps especially with who darker skinned characters are cast as and their fates

moraine wielding the one power for the first time in scene is really what got me like oh damn this show is going to be An Obsession

like I'd certainly hoped it would be good and thought it looked great in the trailer but that's when I was like yeah no, this Is It

Rosamund Pikes voice over at the end matches EXACTLY how she says those lines in her reading of the Eye of the World audiobook and she's just so very good

I'd apologize for flooding your timelines but I know everything is about to get all Witcher and Spidey only so I don't feel too bad about it

Rosa mind pike fighting to keep the tale of manetheren in is why we adore her. She knows what matters

I kinda forgot how much the first two eps were centered on the core four bc once they split the aes sedai became the a story for the rest of the season which was definitely the right call
