The Whitecloaks might be one of those cases where major changes were inevitable.

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.
Everyone ready for Season 2 of the amazing Wheel of Time series on Prime?

LOL! I am fascinated to see if S2 can be as bad or worse than S1. *NM*

There's a reason it's coming out on Labor Day weekend. Because its laborious to watch.

It's fun! It's not good, but that's ok. Neither are the books, and I enjoyed them too.

That's reasonable. I don't really attach the fandom to the books, though.

You have hit precisely on why I despise this show and want it to be cancelled.

Haha, fair. But I know the second season's not suddenly going to be amazing.
