Wheel of Time November Launch. The next GOT or the next Shannara Chronicles?

I do recall feeling the Magic Kingdom book would be a cool movie, with the right actor choices.

I feel like the difficult part is how frequently the premise is used now. It's basically an entire genre of anime now.

Magic Kingdom has a second premise that is pretty interesting though, in the form of the Knight.

That's fair, though it also reflects a mechanic that is very common within the genre.

Don't get me wrong, I'd still love to see it if they do it well. I think there is still a case that there is a lot of unexplored territory in live action fantasy programming, especially for English speaking audiences.

I just don't think the premise alone carries near as much water now as it did 20 something years ago when I first read the books.
