The Wheel of Time: Origins

The Wheel of Time Origins was Incredibly Good and In-line with The Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan.

I enjoyed every minute of watching this.

Unlike the 8 Part Series which 3/4 of it was the Director / Producers / Screenplay Writers LGT, Girl-Power, Misconstrued re-imaging of Robert Jordan's Masterpiece and I found myself having to shut the final episode off after 10 minutes because of how badly they twisted the end of Book One!

I would suggest all of you who are readers and lovers of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of time to watch this and not to watch the Amazon 8 part series because that was in no way in keeping with the Books!

Or Give the Series the rightly bad ratings it deserved in order to force Amazon to Produce an ACTUAL Presentation of The Wheel of Time!

Still a hot mess, but at least its not an insulting hot mess. Itbstill could have been much worse. People keep on saying nonsesen about how its difficult to bring a deep world to the screen. Its not. Its easier. It means you have more answers. You dont have to show the viewer any more then what is happening to the characters at any given time. The viewer doesnt need to know about far away lands or customs. Think about it; Reality is the deepest world there is. But when movies set in real world are made people dont cry. If you are telling people a story about people in a small town in Texas, who cares if the audience isnt aware of France?

These origin stories seem to really capture the feeling of the books, the story we fell in love with. They do it so much better than t he actual live action show, it makes me wonder whether this should have been an animated series to begin with.

Love the art, love the dark atmosphere, love everything about this. Even the ones which are "original" writing like the Ogier one. This is how you adapt, the Wheel of Time showrunner could learn a lot from this.

Also most reviews here, specially the bad ones, seem to be talking about the show and not Origins. These are probably just trolls, coz I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to review the show on the wrong page.

It's quite strange when additional materials for the main show have greater value than its parent production.

It has the right tone, the right sense of scale, distinct visuals and above all respect for source material. I guess the later one is the reason why Rammy Park is NOT listed on IMDB as a writer for these animated shorts, shame on you Amazon!

Also all persons responsible for animation should be distinguished with some sort of award! Animation is a rightful part of the story, not just illustration of text.

I hope they don't make the mistake to stop another great production. It's really good! The visuals, the acting, the storyline. Hope to see more of the wheel of time, time travel, space travel, star gate concept.
