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

Just take encouragement from the fact everytime they "reinterpret" these stories, basically diversifying them and rewriting key plot points to fit the restructuring, it almost always fails. They're three for three in the last few months, Cowboy Bebop, The Witcher and now this, pretty sure there's a lesson to be learned about fricking with the integral parts of a story to serve a completely unrelated agenda.

What really pisses me off about this is it doesn't have to be bad. The makeups good, the actings good, the actions good. It's just the fricking dog shit writing

Many such cases!
Legit, good writing is the most important part of any show imo. The visual effects can be hot buttered dog shit and you can even get by with mediocre acting but if the writing is garbage there's nothing to be done.

Egwene was always potentially pretty if not for the world's biggest fricking round nose and the book lore canon supports me on this, bigot.

Imagining her as a butterface makes her entire story boring

all popular Disney franchises were already diversified and are the most popular stories ever. Adaptations crash and burn regularly, shaniqua as strong black lead or not

Disney is too big to fail though, they could put Spiderman in a wheelchair and have him swing across New York and the r-slurs who religiously watch that shit would clap. These smaller adaptations outside of Disney's influence are a better reflection of audience reception.

Monogatari could be all black (or half Asian half animal) and id still love it for the actual ... show, the characters and dialogue and art and points. These things flop because of the sjaydoubleu and conservassal writers just suck because lol American slash western writing and movies are soulless and have been since like 1900 at least

I agree with you, if the story is well written then people won't care. Like on rdrama, agenda ruins everything; it's even more of an insult when some hack writer with political beliefs necros a great story they read once and then tries to readapt it with their own agenda instilled into it. Both sides and all that.
