6/23/2023 0 Comments The wheel of timeJordan’s novels are classic high fantasy, complete with bards who know more than they share, magical women with hidden agendas, monsters of all kinds, and cursed objects characters shouldn’t touch but inevitably do. Moiraine must uncover who they are and guide them to save the world.* And as the Dark One reawakens in the current age, the Dragon has also been reborn. In a past age, an extremely powerful user of the One Power-the Dragon-successfully beat back the forces of evil. Now women, Aes Sedai, are the only ones who can channel it, and conjurers like Moiraine fight a never-ending battle against the Dark One, who seeks to break the world. Although men used to wield the One Power, that ability has been lost. But the story’s core remains the same: In the World of the Wheel, history repeats itself in cycles of thousands of years, over and over again. Showrunner Rafe Judkins (both a Wheel of Time superfan and former Survivor contestant) ages the characters up, combines events, and strikes a less solemn tone. The Wheel of Time deviates considerably from its source material in order to condense Jordan’s Tolkienesque fictional universe the story is so expansive that telling it on-screen without cutting some details would be impossible. Wheel of Time is banking on the idea that shock value isn’t the only way to make people pay attention.
