It's a pretty big change, yeah, but also a logical one. Legolas Send a noteboard - 11/11/2021 07:33:20 PM

View original postUggh. Rather than change the world building to what you hope RJ would write if he thought the same way you do, how about stick to the world building that RJ actually did write and only make the kinds of changes that are necessary when going from book to film. I'm not encouraged by this.

That would be the difference between making an adaptation that's mainly about the existing fans, or one that aims to gain a whole new audience. The latter will require some significant changes, both because a 2021 general audience has different expectations than an early 1990s fantasy reader audience, and because it's obviously a different medium.

You're right, it's all about the money and projecting whether RJ would approve is spin. damookster - 11/11/2021 05:44:56 PM 441 Views
I'm fairly certain RJ would have approved of making money, though! *NM* fionwe1987 - 11/11/2021 07:31:08 PM 171 Views

Many of the storylines around Perrin became tedious but would be less so with editing. damookster - 11/11/2021 10:15:33 PM 470 Views
