RE: WOT on Prime - Thalia - 04-30-2021
Glad he gets a pass as I know he was one you were unsure about
His expression is just spot on for me. But I'm not really fussed about detail or costume being exact. Glad they kept the hadori though.
RE: WOT on Prime - Nox - 04-30-2021
Yeah. I'm not fused about the minor details. But there are somethings that need to be there. The handori is one, and really sound be gray at the temples. I'm gonna say blue eyes but that could be just a projection and not a actual feature. Cause I don't remember the color of lan's eyes. Been a while since I read the books lol
RE: WOT on Prime - Thalia - 04-30-2021
*nods*
I think you're right that he had blue eyes. That and the grey temples don't bother me either way, since they are physical characteristics (not saying they aren't important obviously, just not to me) but the hadori is def significant for Lan's backstory.
The stone face was the thing for me, and I think Henney nails it
(hence the excitement lol)
RE: WOT on Prime - Nox - 04-30-2021
I can deal with the missing details, but as a writer, I define specific features because they are what make the character who they are. It's more than just their words and actions, but in order to tell a character apart in your mind, they have those features. Which every artist out there renders because they are the ones the author gives you.
Things like Khalan's hair being blond in The Sword of Truth series is a HUGE deal, but in the TV show she's a brunette, and her hair isn't even LONG. I mean things like that matter. Cause it's actually important to the story.
But the little thing, his eyes I can deal with. And the man captured Lan well. I felt Lan in that snippet. And that's important.
RE: WOT on Prime - Thalia - 04-30-2021
*thumbs up* I never thought about it from that perspective. Story-centric or plot related things, yes. But not the whole-package kinda thing, especially from a writer perspective. That's interesting.
RE: WOT on Prime - Ascendancy - 04-30-2021
I get that. If in the movie of The First Age (wink), they cast Nikolai as a blonde with flowing hair, I'd be disturbed. Not that his dark, neatly styled hair is part of a larger plot, but its part of who he is. His personality is demonstrated in the way he arranges and meticulously keeps his hair. lol
RE: WOT on Prime - Nox - 04-30-2021
exactly! Things like hair needs to be mostly right. Because you SEE it in every frame. You can't make out the color of someone's eyes on the small screen and it's not as big of an issue. There are defining features I could get away with not seeing if Nox were on screen. That have no plot bearing, but his hair and his eyeliner and painted nails are like a must have. The beard is a personality quirk that if he didn't have he'd been mildly freaking out about. his eyes I guess he could be blue eyes but it would irk me.

I was not sure about this Lan. but in character? Damn. it looks great.
Anyone else notice the hadori looks like it's going to fall off the second he bends down to put on his boots?

I have my instagram set to alert me whenever the official WoT account posts a story. Today I was notified of it twice, but by the time I got to their page, the story had been deleted.
I'm sure it's just a glitch, but I kept hoping they would drop something new today and 'give us the Fifth.'
*sigh*

Haha, it looks a little high on his forehead maybe.

Ah, that would have been a nice tip of the hat to fans.
