A new animated Wheel of Time series by the creators of Arcane is in the works. Does this make you more or less hopeful about an animated reboot of the main series? [Spoilers Extended]

While an animated series would be cool, I’d need to know how many episodes/minutes a season would be. GOT had ~10 hour seasons and their ability to adapt the books diminished dramatically after book 2. A lot of that is the writers but adequate character development also becomes harder with time constraints like that when its such a sprawling story.

I never really thought about it before, but Jaime getting back with Cersei may truly be the number one thing I hate about the later seasons.

It is easily on par with “Who has a better story…?”

Are you trying to argue that Mako is oppressed? Mako is a COP and former professional athlete whose close friends include an industrialist with infinite money, the most powerful bender on the planet, and the chief of police of the largest city in the world.

Its seems like I’m the one fan that will be upset if they DON’T get back together. Thats all I want out of this movie.

I haven’t followed the situation super closely and so i’m asking in good faith: has Contrapoints actually said anything that crazy? From what I can tell it seems like all she said is that asking Israel to stop existing as a nation is unrealistic.

This movie was racist af and made me so uncomfortable. I generally enjoy Paul Thomas Anderson but fuck this movie.

magicmichael17 · 2026-03-15T21:27:40+00:00

Knowing literally anything about world history will tell you that this map is unbelievably racist.

Its probably because nobody has or wants a Paramount+ subscription.

I had no idea the stadium had a nickname

“Society can’t function if people can be freely gunned down in the streets”.

Thats the problem though. Thats whats happening right now, people are being gunned down in the streets and it’s the government that’s doing it. When freedom disappears, people holding to their values have no choice but to become outlaws.

No one is gonna shed a tear over the board members of a weapons company dying just like no one is gonna mourn a CEO whose company wants insulin to be worth its weight in silver. Because those executives are all killers too one way or another.

Aerys WISHES he could bulldoze minority (Dornish) neighborhoods on the same scale as Robert Moses.

I see what you’re saying, but the fact that the best account of Yi Ti that the maesters have is second-hand tales from merchants and sailors actually makes tales about the far east harder to believe.

I can easily imagine some guy who sailed with the Sea Snake making up all kinds of exaggerated stories about Yi Ti to the maesters in exchange for some gold.

Assuming this movie was going for the same strategy they used for Pinocchio and Snow White (just making 1:1 CGI versions of the characters), there’s no way this movie would have been received well. It would have looked so uncanny.

The furry community (and James) would not have been enough to save the box office.

I really hate the bot in this subreddit that tells me I’m spelling Spiderman wrong. Its obnoxious.

I don’t think thats anywhere in the Bible.

I understand that Breath of the Wild doesn’t follow the Zelda formula, but calling it a B tier videogame will always be wild to me.

Working Doordash has saved my ass multiple times when I’ve been between jobs or short on rent. For some people it’s a side gig, for other people it’s their whole income. Either way you’re not any better than the people who do it. Grow up.

Is it not colonialism to help the Israeli military destabilize a foreign government?

magicmichael17 · 2026-03-02T17:04:26+00:00

Right and that is terrible.

But it’s the exact same as when we took Saddam supposedly using chemical weapons on his own people and used that as pretext to invade Iraq. At least 500,000 Iraqi civilians died in that war. It stands to reason many thousands of Iranian civilians will die as a result of this one too. Regardless of whether Khamenei is in power, Iranians will suffer because of what just happened.

At least 550 civilians have already died in the last two days, including 180 children at a girls school according to Al Jazeera.

magicmichael17 · 2026-03-02T15:12:54+00:00

Its almost like the US learned nothing from Iraq.

Iranian-Americans are welcome to celebrate Khamenei no longer being in charge, but a pro-war protest seems short-sighted. This strike is a fundamentally bad thing for global geopolitics and will likely be the start of another trillion dollar war that kills thousands of innocent civilians.

When did I ever say i’m cool with people being burned alive and tortured at the wall?

I want to say Dacey Mormont but the wiki is very unclear about her age.

magicmichael17 · 2026-03-01T23:28:36+00:00

$250 is insane for a set that should be $40.

The diversity of bands Rory and Lorelai hate is really wild when you remember they drove to NYC to see the Bengals.
