I've read half of the books but I can't keep up with why they're so mad.
I'm mad because:
- They BLACKED.COM every second character.
- There's a country called "Shienar" which is based on Japan and the main "Shienarans" are Asian actors speaking with Rice accents. But then they DIVERSIFY Shienar by making half their citizens Wh*te or Indian. Do they speak with an Asian accent? No. Why? Shut up, that's why.
Why the autists are mad:
- Magic is either "Saidar" or "Saidin". The DRAGON REBORN uses Saidin. What's the difference? Saidar is Foid magic. Saidin is man juice. Therefore the DRAGON REBORN must be a man. But in the show they're like "whoooa it might be those brave brown women who could be the DRAGON REBORN"
- LAN "GigaChad" Mangradogradagonon went from an Ice Cold killer to a cute asian Twink BF who doesn't do much.
- Lord Agelmar went from some hero who held back the Trolls for years to saying 'dear sister you were right about everything I'm a dumb man lol'
- Perrin is just so fricking useless and annoying
- Matt is like 'bye, lol, lmao'
Why I liked it
- Rosamund Pike
- The bad guy has a hooked nose, lol

Why do people of book torment themselves with «««adaptations»»»? I never felt the need to watch some low rent series because they are made out of book I've read. First time I heard they are doing "Foundation" I laughed because it's such an unfilmable, neurodivergent story, then I heard people seethe about it because it turned out to be a nonsense. Same with live action of animu. Stop watching it, you have nothing to lose but your chains and your weight.

The hype to disappointment cycle will never cease. Whether it's an adaption or a sequel or a reboot or etc

Maybe this is just an echo of boom/bust cycle. A Samsara for nerds.

It ceased in 2017 with Twin Peaks The Return which was amazing but then David Lynch went back to his meditation cult and will probably never do anything again.
Then in 2019 Dark Crystal Age of Resistance came out which was better than the original movie somehow but Netflix abandoned it for Cuties and anime adaptations. We're not allowed to have good things.

Because a man named Peter Jackson did it.
And it was glorious.
And it will never happen again.

Early Game of Thrones was great, too, before running too far ahead of the books and going to shit. Adaptations don't have to automatically suck...

People don't seem to be educated enough to understand that you can't tell the same exact story with every exact detail in every single medium.
Different mediums are better at telling a story in different ways, but r-slurs will never get that.
So we'll always have fresh
drama

Very accurate comment. I knew Foundation and Altered Carbon would be absolute shite.

Some works are better suited than others, and if you lack the talent to do that just cast loads of minorities everywhere to make yourself immune to criticism for you weak literary skills.

I still haven't watched the Godfather for this reason. I read the book when I was younger, loved it, and don't want it ruined.

I'm genuinely surprised that wasn't cut or changed. It was such a weird thing to read when I was 11, I didn't really understand at the time.

The one adaptation I’m looking forward to is Sandman. Yes, I’m an r-slur but the art wasn’t very good throughout the original series so I’m hoping the visuals will make up for that.

Are we talking about the same Sandman? SOME of the art was good, a few artists were great but overall I wasn’t a fan of the art.

That's a comfy bong show with mediocre CGI but great actors. Even the race swapping there isn't an obstruction
