The Whitecloaks might be one of those cases where major changes were inevitable. Legolas Send a noteboard - 29/08/2023 11:48:08 PM

View original postLike Mat’s parents being the town drunks and he a thief rather than respected members of their councils with a son who was definitely a trickster but never dishonest.

Agree - saw no reason for that.
View original postLike Perrin being married then fridging his wife. As if he needed something that obvious to have conflicted feelings around violence.

The fridging was, yeah, I dunno what that was. An extremely misguided attempt to try to appease critics who thought the show too woke by offending the woke viewers? But the thing was so asinine that it offended everyone, woke or not...
View original postLike the ridiculousness of making the Children of the Light a legitimate threat to the Aes Sedai. As if one Aes Sedai couldn’t wipe out an army of Whitecloaks.

This one I think was probably inevitable - no adaptation was ever going to keep the Whitecloaks in the same position they had in the books, getting so much attention while almost never being a real threat or even really relevant to the greater scheme of things, only at the margins. It was either cut them completely, or turn them into a bigger threat. I don't like it, but I can accept the logic of it.
View original postLike the travesty of the concluding episode with too many such stupid or unnecessary changes to list.

Amen to that, the last episode was really terrible.

There's a reason it's coming out on Labor Day weekend. Because its laborious to watch. The Shrike - 28/08/2023 06:26:23 PM 561 Views
I'm actually looking forward to it. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/08/2023 06:15:14 AM 281 Views
How... why... AgentApple - 28/08/2023 08:31:01 AM 592 Views
It's fun! It's not good, but that's ok. Neither are the books, and I enjoyed them too. Ghavrel - 28/08/2023 11:25:36 PM 631 Views
I think, though, The Shrike - 29/08/2023 11:15:35 AM 590 Views
That's reasonable. I don't really attach the fandom to the books, though. Ghavrel - 29/08/2023 08:06:41 PM 566 Views
Yes, agreed. Legolas - 29/08/2023 10:33:37 PM 599 Views
You have hit precisely on why I despise this show and want it to be cancelled. damookster - 29/08/2023 11:04:44 PM 605 Views

Im planning on hate watching. The Shrike - 28/08/2023 06:25:09 PM 602 Views
Hate watching! That's totally a thing. Good call. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/08/2023 06:57:50 PM 258 Views
From the previews, the damane are gonna be bondage-themed to hell and back. Ghavrel - 28/08/2023 11:27:11 PM 566 Views
I'll probably watch at least the first episode... Legolas - 28/08/2023 09:23:58 PM 575 Views
Dude! aerocontrols - 28/08/2023 10:33:26 PM 573 Views
Haha, fair. But I know the second season's not suddenly going to be amazing. Legolas - 29/08/2023 10:11:50 PM 568 Views
I will hate watch, but only after they measure the metrics Tom - 31/08/2023 03:10:36 AM 572 Views
Yup! I’ve already watched them all. Twice. *NM* globug0822 - 12/09/2023 03:58:47 AM 297 Views
High five! I'm saving them for a rainy day. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/09/2023 10:31:31 AM 265 Views
Your quokka post is the only thing that has saved you. LiterateDog - 14/09/2023 07:58:19 AM 546 Views
I don't have the heart to watch, but I prefer books to shows generally RugbyPlayingAshaman - 20/09/2023 02:17:09 AM 639 Views
