i have zero faith that the wheel of time series will be anything but shit. there's an issue with too little source material (GRRM) then there's the issue of far too much, Wheel of time at 14 books is just too much.

you can't cast children and move at the correct pace, shit they feared that in Harry Potter which is half the # of books and maybe 1/4 the number of words.

my guess is that gets a slightly better treatment than the "Dark Tower" movie, which was a rushed shit show of a representation of one of the better series of all time.

I agree with you on the size of and scope of the series. Although realistically there's a lot of bloat in that 14 books. Another factor is that they might have not enough funds because they're putting so much money on the LOTR series.
I don't get your children thing though. I think you might getting the age of the characters wrong. The youngest of the characters are Elayne and Egwene who are both 16 at the start. Rand, Mat and Perrin are all 19.

All those characters are going to be played by early/mid 20s as per industry standards.

she's constantly in the news but it has been nice to see her back slide on a lot of shit. she basically abandoned the green new deal and has cried about treatment of her on social media, when for a year it was how she's some guru of social media engagement. solid meme tho.
