Well on wheel of time they basically looked like they came from a gap commercial. Modern hair and clothing at times that could be worn in modern times
The show is largely incoherent, but it occasionally makes nods to the fact that it takes place after the current day and that everything is cyclical.
That said, the art design is incredibly lazy. The nomadic people in the wagons apparently have irons and washing machines, since everything looks brand-new.
This doesn't appear to be a stance so much as everyone connected with the show other than Rosamund Pike appears to be completely incompetent.
The problem is these shows are trying to run on 70’s television and it doesn’t work.
I have no idea what "70's television" means in this sentence.
That’s great if they earn it. That’s great if the acting is good and the directing is good. Sigoutney weaver earned it in aliens, Sarah Conner in terminator, neve Campbell in scream and Lena headley in got are examples.
Now it’s subpar acting where every fantasy woman is Legolas and zero personality ( daisy ridley)That’s great if all the male characters don’t look like complete idiots next to that character. We have just reversed what they did in the 70’s etc. as a poster said below I’m sick of my friends identity being the first killed. Now it’s the opposite.
This is a bad take.
First off, if all of these female characters you like just
happen to have appeared in stuff in your youth, rose-tinted glasses are a big part of what's happening to you, as it is to anyone.
Galadriel
should be tougher than Legolas and they establish in the first episode of Rings of Power that she's been fighting orcs for centuries.
Rey is just as good at stuff as Luke is, but no one questions why he's able to fly a fighter jet, outfly professional pilots and be almost the lone survivor of a suicide mission. He's just a dude and associated with your childhood memories.
And I'm sorry it upsets you that white guys are dying before black dudes and women in movies. Imagine what if it was like that for you for decades. But it's hardly a consistent thing -- the first characters to die nowadays are a random grab bag, as they should be.
