Yes, we have all heard about Superman and the endless streams of historical drams. Even the slight darkening in the Lord of the Rings series that’s planned. But damn, looks like Amazon is really going hard on the Wheel of Time. https://www.therpf.com/forums/attachments/wot-cast-jpg.1351311/

Coplands and Congars, sure. Although I always saw them as the low-IQ white trash in the village, if they made them niggers I wouldn't mind (although they haven't, they cast a stereotypical Karen for Daise).

Loial is probably going to be covered heavily in makeup, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a white guy with the right build and vocal chords to play him (and according to the WoT wiki, "Due to their size and inhuman facial features, the uneducated often mistake them for Trollocs" which is both hilarious and accurate).

But for the Two Rivers main cast, it's a travesty. I didn't even notice Perrin, but that's bullshit. And Egwene's father is a fucking abbo.

Some of the castings are spot on though. Cenn Buie is perfect, as is Tam. Liandrin looks like she behaves exactly the same as in the books. Lan, Thom and Moraine look good, but it depends on their makeup and how they play the roles. And Padan Fain could be amazing.

I might end up torrenting the first episode to see if it's worth watching, but I don't have high hopes.
