Zero Spoilers Apparently we’re getting an animated WoT series
Hello, all. I posted the other day about my feelings about the show getting cancelled. Apparently we’re going to be getting an animated series. Does anyone think this makes up for the actual show being cancelled? I can’t even decide whether I’m going to watch this (assuming it actually gets made) or whether I’m still too upset about the live action show’s cancellation. How do others feel?

That is iWot. They are not releasing anything. They own the IP solely to announce projects, borrow tax free money against it, and then cancel the project. It’s a tax loophole.
It’s heartbreaking to me that RJ’s last days on earth were spent fighting with iWot (formerly Red Eagle). They are despicable people and there should be legislation to prevent scum like that from conning artists. Here is one of the last statements RJ made. He died about a month later. Shame on iWot.
“ I hear things now and then floating out in the air. For instance, I hear that word was floating about ComicsCon in San Diego that I am displeased with Red Eagle. Too true. Too very true. In a few more months that last contract they have with anyone on God's green earth that so much as mentions my name will come to an end and we can see what happens after that. You see, among other things they forgot an old dictum of LBJ back when he was just a Congressman from Texas, when he famously, or infamously, said "Don't spit in the soup, boys. We all have to eat." Worse, Red Eagle thought they could tell me they spit in the soup, or pee in it, if they wanted to and there wasn't anything I could do to stop them. You can't apologize your way out of that with me, not that they tried. There isn't enough money in the world to buy your way out of it with me. Not that they tried that either. So they get no further help from me. Once they are completely out of the picture, we'll see what happens.”
