Wheel of Time 101

[pom]

this old book series is getting a tv show in the next year

and after going to a convention centered around these books. im energized to talk to more fans. including more potential fans of this show. so we can get hyped together.

A panel for people who were more or less informed of the show and books seems like a good place to start. Get on that hype train early

anyone else interested? Having finished all 15 books is not required. But possibly reccomended.

Since this idea is off-topic, there's a very low chance of it being approved. You could bump up the chances by discussing or comparing this series to anime. I'm just summarizing what we chatred about in discord, in case anyone who's interested miss it.

and also in case anyone missed that discord. i would be open to comparing it to anime that is comporable to epic fantasy series.

or even just, "adatping for tv" how to adapt to tv 101

for 1 this book series is finished, so it wont run into the problem of some mangas that were adapted to tv before the books wer finished being published. like dragon ball z, and the notorious filler episodes.

as wheel of time is finished as a sereis, it wont run into that problem.

it's also being adapted by fans, so they're "making it with love" instead of just for profit.

"how not to adapt to tv" could become too negative. and i want to involve Wheel of Time.

one of the other panelists is also far more into anime than me, so when they fill in their own registration, i can tlak to them about connecting it to anime in a way that makes for a better panel

I have seen the announcement about getting away from "101" panels. and after talking to the other 2 panelists. I dont have an anime with which to crossover with this book series (yet).

though we have an idea for moving in a more theoryland direction. mostly summed up as "the books were considered forward with their themes during the 90s, but the show runner wants the tv show to be more forward in its representaiotn for the 2020s. so we discuss our own theories on how the characters could be adapted/changed along LGBTQIAA+ lines in the TV show"

I can quote the showrunner to saying something similar.

I still need to sit down and dig thru anime that one of the panelists knows better than me. for an appropriate Anime that fits with the books, or even how the show is being adapted

[crownowa]

To which announcement are you referring?

[pom]

sorry, i did not specify that i saw it in the discord. about reccomending that people engage the current fandom, rather than look for new fans. to push back against 101 panels

[crownowa]

Ah, okay. I found it when I searched. If you're able to make this idea on-topic by bring able to compare and contrast it to similar anime, then it won't be a 101 panel either.
