Hey I’m watching The Wheel of Time - Season 1. Check it out now on Prime Video!
https://watch.amazon.com/detail?gti...ca5-77e5169c2fc7&ref_=atv_dp_share_seas&r=web

Anyone else excited? For me, a welcome distraction, come November.
I’m listening to book 6 on audiobook right now, my sleep aid heh, it’ll take me years to get through the rest as audiobooks. I’m nervous about seeing live action characters to spoil my imagined ones. Do you like itso far?

Nothing but a trailer, so far. I don't know if it will ruin things, or not. My biggest concern is that they get through most of the books (get multiple seasons) and don't go too fast.

I did a similar thing with GOT. I'd never heard of GOT until it showed up on HBO. Watched all the seasons, disappointed by how quickly it came to an end because it really felt rushed. Now it been off the air for a couple years I've decided to listen the books. Wow! As usual the books are so much better than HBO series!! You can really tell where the showrunners left GRRM's story and injected their own. As I've been completing the books I re-watched each season of GOT again as they (sorta) correspond to the books. I'm certainly glad I got to see the HBO series first and then read the books because if had been the other way around I don't I would've enjoyed as much.
And to keep this post about Mavericks, I'll use the House Stark motto, "Maverick is Coming" :ROFLMAO:

I like where you're going with house words! 🤣

Those who may not know, I've put a list below.

I think we should use house Martell as a base...

"Hybrid Maverick - unbowed, unbent, unbuilt."

🤣😳😭


House Baratheon - Ours is the Fury[2]
House Greyjoy - We Do Not Sow[2][3]
House Martell - Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken[2]
House Stark - Winter is Coming[4][5]
House Tully - Family, Duty, Honor[2]
House Tyrell - Growing Strong

Oof indeed
What's wrong with the trailer?

I don't get as upset at what the characters and show looks like as much as I get upset at shows "taking liberties." As long as the characters and their interactions are authentic to the novels, I think I'll be a fan.

I suppose my biggest beef if I had one was that it seems to be focused on moraine and not rand. The descriptions of some of the characters don't match their chosen actors or actresses either and I feel like there's social and political ideas being pushed instead of just making the books into a series. It's probably well made, I just wasn't prepared for all the variations.
