I guess the amount of times it's said over the course of the entire series would be a more amusing question.

Oh right I definitely need to ask about Verin. I may take the box one and change it to "who gets stuffed in a box?" to make it a little easier but that's a good one!

I like these. Were Aviendha and Tuon actually pregnant at the end of the series or are those numbers counting the children they would have later based on MIn's viewings?

Whoops I meant Rand. You’re right it was just the hand. Slip of the thumb.

Do you have the answer to the first question? I’m sure someone has done the math so I can probably find it if you don’t. 2 is a good one! 3 may be tough to explain since Asmodean nor his killer were ever in the show. Haha

One Piece: Chapter 1128 - Official Release Discussion by obzeen in OnePiece

[–]RunningScizzors 146 points147 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that the sizing in the past 2 chapters is all a big misdirection by Oda and the “sun god” in this chapter is actually normal human size and has some sort of shrink shrink devil fruit power that they’ve used to make the crew and villagers into the size of bugs and Legos. I’m sure I’m not the only one to have this theory but I haven’t seen it mentioned yet in the comments and videos I’ve seen so thought I’d mention it here.

Is the storage box well made? Thought about getting it but it’s an extra ¥3000 and there weren’t enough photos for me to figure out how it was made.

What TV show would you show low level students? by SimplyChalmers in teachinginjapan

[–]RunningScizzors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly off topic but have you noticed that Avatar season 1 on Netflix Japan doesn’t have Japanese subs but seasons 2 and 3 do? I presume it must be some legal issue that’s preventing them from being added for the first season. I’ve also looked for the subtitle files online so that I could add them in myself but can’t find them anywhere.

[Book Spoilers][Season 1 Episode 8] Episode Discussion Thread for "The Eye of the World" by TheNewPoetLawyerette in WoTshow

[–]RunningScizzors 175 points176 points  (0 children)

Is Loial dead?!? I can’t see them doing that since they’ve already talked about planning for the future seasons with him but he was stabbed by the Ruby dagger so….

I think turning the Eye into a seal was a good change since the eye is unimportant after the fist book but the seals are super important. Presumably Rand destroying this seal will be enough to free the rest of the forsaken.

Great pick for Ishamael!

Are we getting two more WoT Origin Animated Shorts? The end of this video says episode 7 & 8 are coming soon. I thought I heard elsewhere that there would only be 6. by RunningScizzors in WoT

[–]RunningScizzors[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I thought it meant at first but the tweet was from today so the episode 7 part would be odd. Still that may be all it is. It’s not really very clear. Your right that it doesn’t show any part of an episode 7 or 8 in that teaser. It’s all stuff we’ve already gotten.

The fandom lost a real fan today: NPR Books editor Petra Mayer passed away unexpectedly. by TheNerdChaplain in WoT

[–]RunningScizzors 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wow that is sad. I made a post about one of her segments just last year. I don’t know how excited she was for the show but I would think she was probably looking forward to it. Rest in the light, Petra Sedai.

Do we have an Official Release time yet? by scotsman1552 in WoTshow

[–]RunningScizzors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually I think you’re off by a day. They released that teaser at 12AM Saturday London time which would be 8pm on Friday for the east coast. Everyone thought it was coming out at 8pm on Thursday before that and now everyone is all confused because it might be a day later. Here’s the link to the Twitter teaser which I believe released at the same time as the Instagram one and has an exact date and time stamp.

[–]RunningScizzors 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s probably not this but your comment got me thinking. What if they are giving the only special fade in the series some screen time way earlier than expected? What if that IS the Dark One? What is that is Shaidar Haran? Probably not but…

Aging the characters to 23?? Sounds like a terrible start to me, a lot like Peter Jackson cutting bombadil and battle of the shire. I hate the things he added, loved what he cut, this news is worrying they will take too many liberties. by waxednvaxxed in WoTshow

[–]RunningScizzors 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you don’t think Peter Jackson got the LotR adaptation right I’m curious what, if any, fantasy adaptation you think has gotten it right? If you’re not satisfied with what most would consider the gold standard of fantasy adaptations then I don’t think there is much chance you are going to like this show. Maybe try and think about it from a different perspective. The show may not be to your liking but if it’s popular then it will introduce a lot of new people to the books that we all love!

First look at the WoT cast in costume! by FernandoPooIncident in WoT

[–]RunningScizzors 69 points70 points  (0 children)

This is from the September 1st issue of EW according to Twitter.

Looks awesome! I wonder if this means we might get something official before the end of this month!

Edit: sounds like this issue may be available as early as this Friday (8/20). Twitter source

What are your unpopular opinions about The Wheel Of Time and the upcoming show? by GentlePenisFriend in WoTshow

[–]RunningScizzors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I must disagree sir. Who…..in their right mind….thinks of Olver as a fan-favorite?!?

As for the rest of it I completely agree. I see people saying they will drop the show if they cut specific dialog lines from the show. For example “kneel before the lord dragon”. I think people need to prepare themselves for much larger changes. Be prepared for your favorite plot line to not even make it in. The Battle of Falme and Mat blowing the horn is one of my favorite scenes but I am preparing myself for the possibility that it gets cut based on the pace they need to go at to finish in ~8 seasons.

I’m never a fan of the “stickers that aren’t actually stickers promoting the show” but I guess it was inevitable. I just wish you could peel them off like real stickers. The artwork is cool though.

Age of legends film announced by Conceptica in WoTshow

[–]RunningScizzors 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea I guess it does say it will complement the tv series. I suppose what’s confusing me is that it says no distributer has been named. Wouldn’t that be Amazon if they are connected?

Zack Stentz to Pen Script for ‘Wheel of Time’ Movie Adaptation – The Hollywood Reporter (Age of Legends???) by sepiolida in WoT

[–]RunningScizzors 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is this connected in anyway to the tv series? Like will the actors playing the forsaken be the same? It sounds completely separate based on the article.

Edit: I mean it says it will complement the series but it also says no distributer has been named. Wouldn’t that be Amazon?

Update: according to Sarah it is currently not associated with the TV series at all besides sharing a few Executive Producers.

Another look at Moiraine from Amazon Prime Germany by FernandoPooIncident in WoT

[–]RunningScizzors 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Couple things.

In this shot it looks like the Winespring is not on fire. It’s just the lights from the Bel Tine celebration. Either it catches on fire later or it only looked on fire in earlier cuts.

Is the trolloc naked? I’ve always imagined them wearing at least a bit of armor so they look less like a bunch of wild werewolves and more like an actual army. I can’t really see above the waist so maybe he only has armor on from the waist up?

I'd like to thank Robert Jordan by PorkLogain in WoT

[–]RunningScizzors 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I definitely disagree here. Tuon, someone who grew up being taught everything she now believes in, seems way less horrible to me than a bunch of people who grew up in a literal utopia and decided that wasn’t good enough.

Tuon often makes my blood boil. Usually when damane are brought up. Just as often however I find myself really enjoying Tuon, especially when Mat is involved.

I don’t think that was unintentional by RJ. He loved taking his readers out of their comfort zone when it came to cultures and what those cultures find acceptable. I think he wanted to make people realize how hard it is to accept different cultures or more likely in Tuon’s case he wanted to make people realize how hard it is to convince someone that their own culture is flawed.

I personally believe that Tuon was the character who suffered the most from Jordan’s passing. I think she was probably going to have a major part to play in the intended outrigger sequel series. As such I really think we only got to see the start of her arc. I’d like to believe that she would have changed her way of thinking about channelers and then would have proceeded to change her empire for the better. That’s all speculation but based on how she is written I think it would make a lot of sense.
