The Wheel of Time: Origins

Looks like most the reviews here are for the show itself. Not the origin stories.

These origin stories really capture the feeling of the books lore.

Enjoyed these a lot more than the show and if they had this sort of story telling + narration throughout the show, (and actually stuck to the main story) then it would have been a lot better.

It's quite strange when additional materials for the main show have greater value than its parent production.

It has the right tone, the right sense of scale, distinct visuals and above all respect for source material. I guess the later one is the reason why Rammy Park is NOT listed on IMDB as a writer for these animated shorts, shame on you Amazon!

Also all persons responsible for animation should be distinguished with some sort of award! Animation is a rightful part of the story, not just illustration of text.

Hey people review-bombing The Wheel of Time - Origins: this is not the main show; this is the animated shorts that you can find on Amazon X-ray. How about double checking before posting your reviews!

Amazon made it quite difficult to find these Origins episodes while watching on my Smart TV. When I was finally able to watch them they were OK but I wish each episode were longer. The animation style is unique and I would gladly watch 15 or 30 minute episodes in this style if there were enough content to fill each episode.

I enjoyed the first season of the TV show itself but think these animated shorts could do a nice job of filling the time between seasons of the main show if only they were long enough and substantive enough.

Still a hot mess, but at least its not an insulting hot mess. Itbstill could have been much worse. People keep on saying nonsesen about how its difficult to bring a deep world to the screen. Its not. Its easier. It means you have more answers. You dont have to show the viewer any more then what is happening to the characters at any given time. The viewer doesnt need to know about far away lands or customs. Think about it; Reality is the deepest world there is. But when movies set in real world are made people dont cry. If you are telling people a story about people in a small town in Texas, who cares if the audience isnt aware of France?

The Wheel of Time Origins was Incredibly Good and In-line with The Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan.

I enjoyed every minute of watching this.

Unlike the 8 Part Series which 3/4 of it was the Director / Producers / Screenplay Writers LGT, Girl-Power, Misconstrued re-imaging of Robert Jordan's Masterpiece and I found myself having to shut the final episode off after 10 minutes because of how badly they twisted the end of Book One!

I would suggest all of you who are readers and lovers of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of time to watch this and not to watch the Amazon 8 part series because that was in no way in keeping with the Books!

Or Give the Series the rightly bad ratings it deserved in order to force Amazon to Produce an ACTUAL Presentation of The Wheel of Time!
