The problem with the show is The Shrike Send a noteboard - 22/11/2021 03:10:17 PM

that it was made through the lens of the Game of Thrones show. The changes made are all made to make storylines darker. To make the colors darker. To sex it up. To violence it up. The producer read the books, but the way the show is shot and the way it was changed is inherently problematic. It's as if they thought we wouldn't want a show that was more like the Fellowship of the Ring movie.

And to use another example - I wanted a show like the Marvel movies. Not like the Zack Snyder DC movies.

There was no reason to do to Perrin and to Mat what they did. None. They could have inserted humor. The Nynaeve backstory was also odd. When The Eye of the World was written there was a clear Tolkien influence. And that's fine. We don't need another Games of Thrones show. We don't need a show influenced by Martin.

I want a show that I think Jordan would have liked. I don't think he would have liked this show because it doesn't capture the spirit of the books.

A reasonable decision. - 22/11/2021 02:15:23 AM 785 Views

Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism. - 23/11/2021 07:59:10 PM 634 Views

Good, those changes seem completely unnecessary and pointless. *NM* - 26/11/2021 05:43:39 PM 342 Views
I think the point to remember is, the early episodes were never going to be that great. - 22/11/2021 08:46:33 AM 655 Views
Eh, I think you give them too much slack. - 22/11/2021 02:33:04 PM 649 Views
It's possible I'll agree with that after having seen more episodes... - 22/11/2021 03:04:54 PM 643 Views
