fights are shit, translation: actresses and soyboys let stuntment do all the hard work, then when their faces onscreen the lowest common denominator follows
"he fights were so bad! You could clearly tell from her movement that Perrin's new girlfriend had some moves, too bad she was let down by shoddy camerawork." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The clear sterile lack of passion, and sandblasting of all originality of the author's touch has made even funky pop redditors nnnoootice the brokenshit tier horrible quality of the show
500 upmarseys outside the colonized echo chambers
even bookreaders have no idea what the frick going on half the time, alsy they raping the legacy male characters as is tradition in current year
even redditors notice the widespread contempt new age writers have for the source material
"It feels like an increasing trend where writers are loathe to “just replicate” the source material and so want to add their own plotlines. WoT, The Witcher, Foundation, Halo. The only one that has been done well is Foundation, the rest just feel like the writers wanted to make their own show and forced bits of it into existing IP."
it's strange how the more non-echo chamber normies of /r/television who's wolrdviers are already much more left wing and liberal than my own openly call out the supreme absence of spark and charisma of recent shows, especially from Amazon
"Halo, Wheel of Time and Witcher really make an unholy trinity of great IPs squandered by talentless hacks more concerned with their fanfiction over adapting the material. Be nice if they could all stay on strike."
"You forgot the lord of the rings: Galadriel's thirst for power (Sauron)"
Halo fans perpetually cucked
Commenter 1: "Imagine if you will an adaption of Halo that doesn't have Master Chief, or an adaption of The Last of Us that doesn't have Joel, or an adaption of Game of Thrones without Jon Snow and Daenarys. That's what Wheel of Time is - whatever apologists for this show might spout, there is a clear main character in the books and that's the Dragon Reborn, Rand Al'Thor.
And he's nothing - in fact he's less than nothing, he has systematically had every single piece of character development and every big moment stripped away from him. Book 2 (which was very very very loosely adapted into this second season) contains character defining development for Rand - things that are carried through the entire book series.
It has moments that literally affect the setting and Rand personally for the entire series.
And those are gone - but don't worry guys, Season 3 will definitely be better and have all those cool moments for the Dragon Reborn to have right?"
Commenter2: "No need to imagine, we got that."
Redditors call out the girlboss self insert tendancy of new age writers
Commenter1: "What's crazy is there's plenty of book content left to go where Rand is arguably not the main character. If the writers chilled for one second, they could get to points in the story where elevating other characters in the story makes sense. Literally, next season would be such an opportunity based on the third book. It would be different if what the writers added and deviated from made the books' story better but it doesn't."
Commenter2": "This is what happens to these adaptations. The person adapting it has their own vision, and literally no one wants it. Just do the fricking books. The story is good, and it's right there already waiting for you. No one is watching and going “thank god they changed that” I don't fricking understand the arrogance of these people. It never works but they do it all the time to beloved stories."
Commenter3: "This is what pissed me off the most about all these adaptions. They think they are better than the authors who create the source material themselves."
Commenter4: "One of the WoT show writers literally said "this is the series Robert Jordan would have written if he were writing today" like they somehow equate themselves as a "better" version of him."

I haven't finished it yet, and to be honest i dont have the energy
like at this point, i just wanna copy the bitching of the /r/wot sub and learn the plot through their bitching instead
also the r#ping of the plot where woman can be dragon born completely fricks the unique vision where Robert Jordan had the reconciliation between the sexes as the supreme main theme from season 1 brought to season 2
also if anyone is interested i'll type a 40 000character longpost on why diversity genuinely sincerely ruins the beginning village for a later plot point, and how a female dragonborn completely undermines the channeling or elemental avatar bending of the universe

It's actually amusing, they just kept on pretending everyone can recognise people from Two Rivers by sight.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
There's actually a lot of biblical references to people being able to recognise others by sight. In the book of Genesis, when Joseph's brothers came to Egypt to buy grain, Joseph recognised them immediately (Gen. 42:8). Also, when Jesus was transfigured on the mountain, Moses and Elijah were recognised by Peter, James, and John (Matt. 17:4). So, it's not really that far-fetched that people from Two Rivers would be able to recognise each other by sight.

Never read a single wheel of time book, just the plot summaries on wikipedia and watched the first season and thought it was boring and the costumes looked cheap.
Nevertheless I like the drama behind me, explain us how the lib writers who disdain the source material butchered all your favorite characters.
Jump in the discussion.

First of all, let me just say that I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the Wheel of Time series. It's one of my personal favorites. Secondly, I would advise you to take caution when listening to "lib writers" who disdain the source material. It's important to remember that we are all fallible human beings and that just because someone doesn't like something doesn't mean they're automatically wrong. Finally, I would encourage you to give the series another chance. I think you might find that you enjoy it more than you think.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the Wheel of Time series. However, it is important to remember that fantasy is not reality. As Christians, we are called to live in the real world, not in a fantasy world.
The apostle Paul said, "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7). This means that we need to trust in God, even when things are tough and we can't see what He is doing.
God has a plan for each of us, and He can use even the difficult things in our lives to accomplish His purposes. So even though the Wheel of Time series may not have been your cup of tea, remember that God can use it (and anything else) for good.

Dear Friend,
I want to thank you for your honest feedback. It is clear that you have given this some thought and I appreciate your opinion.
That being said, I must disagree with you. I believe that our message is anything but boring. In fact, I believe it is life-changing and eternal.
The Bible tells us in John 3:16 that "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
This is the heart of the gospel message and it is anything but boring. It is the story of hope and redemption that we believe is worth sharing with everyone.
So while I appreciate your feedback, I must respectfully disagree. I believe that our message is important and has the power to change lives.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Your Pastor

Bard is, as always, right. I also got tired halfway through the series, some short distance after a major female character died in a portal.
The likely lads' shag adventures is what makes it good though. (Bardfin likes to reveal the truth to us in riddles. The status of the dragon in the wheel is the 'likely lad' and how he will effect the world is like 'shagging.' "women are fleshed out and believable" was a hint about that dreadlockess who got killed. Probably a major payload about the israel situation in this drop, but I can't make heads nor tails of it.)
