Why dont you book winos just get over it. ITS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CREATE what you want. Theres NO PRODUCTION STUDIO NOW, OR EVER that could accurately transpose 14 books, 14 VERY LARGE BOOKS into a watchable, cohesive, consistent show with the bazillion different characters and everything else, and not have it turn out to be a 25+season( and i mean 20 episode seasons, NOT 8 episode ones)- to be able to read all those books means the majority of you are very intelligent people. So why are you so obsessed with the idea that the books should be DIRECT TO SCREEN, as opposed to what it has been MARKETED AND TITLED AS: AN ADAPTATION. GROW UP, AND BE GRATEFUL. THERES ALOT, TONS IN FACT of high fantasy sagas who haven't even been given a second thought. BE GLAD. STOP BEING WEIRDOS THANKS

OMG this "chris" dude is like stalking anyone who isnt crapping on the show, GET A LIFE DUDE!! Did this guy Tony mention "not liking the books"??? NO. He made a COMMON SENSE STATEMENT saying changes from the book are to be expected, the BOOKS ARE TOO EXPANSIVE!!!! SNAP OUT OF IT WEIRDO‼🤦🏻‍♂

"An abomination that needs to be put down...." Yikes. So, AGAIN, im going to say, NONE of the actors, most of the production staff and so many other people from extras to set designers, to all the people involved trying to "ADAPT" a "FEASIBLE" and "ENTERTAINING" show out of Robert Jordans work, are 'abominable' IN ANY WAY. theyve worked very hard in some really pressing conditions to bring as much of their part to the show and your comments are denigrating, and just really uncouth. And how on earth do you know what anyones intentions are for this show?... What was it you said ...um .."they see them as stories that need to .. corrected(?) and vehicles for their "own" ideas since they lack the talent to create original stories thenselves". This i will not abide. #1- You say 'vehicles for their own ideas' and then follow up with 'they lack talent to create original stories thenselves.... So which is it? They have their own ideas, or they lack that talent? Which one?🤦🏻‍♂

#2- Rafe Judkins, the show runner began shopping around an 8 season ADAPTATION (I think you overly zealous and quite bratty sounding bookies need to look up the definition of "ADAPTATIONS"🤔) to bring this show to life back in 2017, i think, and thats because he was an avid Wheel of Time reader, having read all books multiple times; and is doing the BEST HE CAN without turning it into a 35 episode per season/20 seasons+ show, WHICH NO PRODUCTION COMPANY would touch with a ten foot pole. AGAIN, all the crying and moaning wahwahwahh but you dont even have a GRASP on HOW HOLLYWOOD WORKS.

#3- Talking smack like this, shows not only what a tool you are, but also that you are in dire need of some fresh air and sun. Get outta your parents basement for awhile, go hangout in the backyard, or go to a park, because you seem like you live in a itty bitty bubble safe-space and feel free to mouth off about things you dont understand. Its really easy from behind an anonymous screen identity, right?

Im saying DITTO to both Scott_P & Joshua's comments. The people naysaying this "ADAPTATION"(KEY WORD}}} ADAPTATION 🤔😵‍💫) dont seem to understand how making movies and t.v. shows actually work. And quite frankly, saying your "biggest hope is that it gets shut down"(yikes..)how do i unpack that without going nuclear - you know what, i wont. I will just say, that that statement is one of the most immature and bratty things ive heard in quite awhile online. You want a more "faithful adaptation "?? Then do it yourself. DO IT YOURSELF!!😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂

No, the "script" is NOT already written. Books are NOT scripts. Apples and oranges. This nonsensical idea that directors, producers, and writing staff are these all powerful wizards that can bring books DIRECTLY TO LIFE (but choose not to .....?)is not only bothersome, its TIRING. Books are books, Movies are Movies. Tv Series ... etc. If the book in question has NO inner monologues, NO auto narration, and simple world building with simple mechanics is one thing. The Wheel Of Time....(and its 14 books + 2 compendiums)...It takes 4 chapters for a dude and his dad to leave their shack and go down a trail to the nearest village. The IMMENSE amount of painstaking, dedicated detail ALONE needed to do what so many of you are complaining about, SORRY, theres NO chance of that happening. Not even a little. Im sorry, im sure ive offended somebody already, (UNINTENTIONALLY)- IM sorry, but I'm just all about the facts. And the facts are, this show isnt a SPECIAL PRIVILEGE, meant only to be enjoyed by the overly exuberant book reader fans. You need to theres a whooooole lot of us that were JUST introduced to this amazing fantasy world, and theres room for all of us. And LASTLY, i find it truly classless to denigrate all the HARD WORK the actors, writers, production, All staff down to extras and craft services has done to bring this breathtaking set of stories to life. Seriously, if you dont like it, dont watch it. Kts really that simple.
