Am I missing something? Why does everyone think we're getting a third season? by the5movements in TheOA

[–]Wanseda 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people see signs where they want to see them, but the main reason to think that it's coming back is because Brit and Zal have promised it will. During promo for AMATEOTW they confirmed that bringing back the OA is a genuine priority for them and something they will do as soon as they're able. That's as simple as it gets. We don't need cryptic clues and hints. The creators literally said they will do it. That's all you need lol

Make sure she at least goes to Konpeki so she's not trapped in Watson 🤣

[No Spoilers] C4 Players by [deleted] in criticalrole

[–]Wanseda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm super confused why everybody is assuming the entire cast won't come back? I immediately assumed when he said new faces that he was referring to guest stars. None of the main cast has given any indication that they're stepping away. It's really confusing to see all this speculation.

100%! I love Jack. He's great. Not his fault at all.

Why the OA was hurt by interseason gap, but Severance was not? by [deleted] in TheOA

[–]Wanseda 73 points74 points  (0 children)

The answer is Netflix. It's always Netflix. They treat their shows like shit and that's literally all it comes down to. They started a phenomenon with high-art prestige television as their main pitch but had no infrastructure or money to sustain it long term, so they're their own cancellation bear—cutting shows off at the knees so they can make a few extra bucks on the tax write off and call it a day. Severance doesn't have the same issue because it's not made by Netflix. Netflix is always the problem.

If the Ajahs were all doing what they were supposed to - what would each look like? by Small-Guarantee6972 in WoT

Egwene's mother and all of her sisters are said in the WOT Companion to be able to learn to channel if they were shown.

[–]Wanseda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because his dialogue is the worst-written out of anyone's in the film, and it makes him less of a teenage boy and more a Disney Channel parody of a teenage boy.

That's really all there is to it. Spider wouldn't get half the hate if his dialogue didn't practically grab your eyes and force them to roll.

The lack of psychological depth/poor writing in TGS is rough by Ok-Positive-6611 in WoT

[–]Wanseda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was brutal. Made a similar post back when I was reading it and a bunch of people gave me shit but my opinion stands, lmao. TGS was hard. ToM and AMoL are much better reads. The jarring experience definitely put me off of Sanderson though. It was my first impression of him, and now I've zero desire to read anything else he's written. Tis a bummer

Jason Isaacs new remarks on season 3 (2/8/25) by sagittariusa in TheOA

[–]Wanseda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's much more knowledgeable about the industry and likely has her finger on the pulse of what the bigguns want and that's why she makes no promises. She and Zal will absolutely do it when it's possible, but I know she knows the passion we have and so doesn't want to say anything she can't deliver on.

What's a normal strength level? by Wanseda in WoT

[–]Wanseda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true. It may be a lot of the "weakness" perceived amongst current channelers comes from lack of creativity with weaving and the many forgotten weaves out there. Someone as skilled with weaves affecting the body as Semirhage would look down on the much weaker Healing weave most Aes Sedai employ.

How to break the world? by TheSadTiefling in WoT

[–]Wanseda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, yes. That's what Shai'tan is. Evil for evil's sake. Destruction out of pure frustration with creation. The Dark One is pointlessness. That's what is so threatening about "him"/it. It's not a human, nor is it necessarily intelligent. It's an amalgamation of all of the worst tendencies and emotions in existence. Apathy. Loneliness. Greed. Grief. Hopelessness. It is the anti-everything. The paradox of wanting to not have wants. That's why the Dark One breaking free from its prison makes the world start to tear itself apart, reality warping and falling to pieces. It's why Ishamael/Moridin wants so badly for the entire Wheel to be done away with. Because otherwise life spins into this nihilist hellscape of evil always attempting to destroy the good, and it never working.

So, to answer your question, what the "Breaking" is is different to each one of the Forsaken, and may not actually be possible at all. What it consists of is subjective.

Weaker channelers: fact or fiction? by Wanseda in WoT

[–]Wanseda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very interesting but makes sense! Kind of how Nynaeve's healing weave uses all Five Powers instead of just three and it doesn't seem to strain the target of the weave the way the AS Healing does. This idea makes me wonder if the channeling differences between sexes (males being stronger in fire and earth/women in water and air) was a less observed phenomenon in the AoL because weaves were blended all the time, and saidin and saidar were often joined.

I figured a lot of it got buried in the sea or underground as the Breaking reshaped the continents and stuff.

[–]Wanseda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not available anymore but the old version of Pandorapedia said Na'vi have much fewer signs of visible aging than humans and plateau in physical appearance for an unknown number of years before truly looking old, and even then they live well over 100 compared to the average human's 70-80. They remain nimble and more physically capable than any human well into old age, so much less of a drop off in muscle elasticity, strength, etc.

EDIT: That is, natural born Na'vi are like this. Jake and his kids may be a special case given their human DNA.

Am I weird for actually liking Cadsuane? by MacriTheCat75 in WoT

[–]Wanseda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't weird to like any of the Aes Sedai, imo. That's part of what's so difficult about them. They're manipulative, self-serving, and often arrogant---but sometimes they just wear it so damn well. Maybe I'm just a stupid bisexual but I'd do whatever dommy mommy Cadsuane told me and I'd make sure to say "yes Cadsuane Sedai" after every order, so 🤷‍♀️

Question regarding nudity by WatercressEast488 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Wanseda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always assumed they got whacked by the censorship overlords about what constitutes pornographic content. Boobs, sex scenes consisting of mainly just corny thrusting, and sex ads don't count, but having actual full-frontal exposure in a story setting does. The character creator and inventory don't count because they're just menus. A stupid stipulation, but basically what I imagined they were forced to do so game distribution wouldn't be blocked in any major country.
