I despise Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series, so I’m mostly amused by the news that Amazon is blackwashing Perrin and Nynaeve:
Amazon’s upcoming Wheel of Time series will race swap Egwene, Perrin, and Nynaeve.
Wheel of Time showrunner Rafe Judkins confirmed casting announcements for the upcoming Amazon adaptation. They cast Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, Zoë Robins as Nynaeve, and Madeleine Madden as Egwene Al’Vere. They also cast Josha Stradowski as Rand al’Thor, and Barney Harris as Mat Cauthon.
I am a little disappointed by the casting of Rand al’Thor, however. Josha Stradowski’s face isn’t anywhere nearly punchable enough.
