Bold Stance: ‘The Wheel of Time’ is poised to be better than ‘Game of Thrones’
Bold Stance is a new column that makes a bold statement about something in pop culture that might not be the consensus and then defends it.
The Wheel of Time is going to be better than Game of Thrones. There, it has been said. Now, this is truly a bold stance, because, at a time, Game of Thrones was regarded as one of the greatest and most epic shows ever to grace the screen.
This take is not to say that Game of Thrones wasn’t great — because it was. But, what The Wheel of Time has done in its first six episodes of season one makes it poised to be better than what Game of Thrones did at its best.
There are a number of reasons for this, which I’ll get into, but to understand why this bold stance exists, you need some context. And of course, there will be spoilers for Game of Thrones and The Wheel of Time (show only) thus far. Consider this your warning.
