Yeah, but like, in terms of what is needed to bring them to the screen, I feel like they'll be quite similar. I would also expect that effects, both practical and digital, have gotten a lot cheaper now than they were two decades ago.
Trollocs are basically orc ripoffs, anyway. And myrdraal are ringwraight ripoffs. So it should easily be doable if Jackson could do it nearly two decades ago.
Yeah, no way are they not going to cut a ton and bring it down to eight seasons at most. Plus, I already struggled through those dragging books, I don't want to have to struggle through a dragging show.
Okay, this is the best casting choice yet.
Edit: Googled him. When he smiles, I don't see it at all. Fortunately, he won't need to smile for this role. :D He's perfect!
So yeah, I can imagine how a native English speaker would think her just foreign. To me, it was just very jarring, because it sounded so Dutch, which for me is the opposite of the foreign mystique they tried to go for.
I love all of these, though I'd always imagine Nynaeve as the ultimate annoying stereotypical white girl. So that'll take some getting used to. :P Regardless, these casting choices are amazing and have increased my faith in this project tremendously.
Also, y'all, Rand is gonna be so annoying...
