Critical question, now that we've seen the show flop and get cancelled... Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 25/05/2025 09:55:51 AM

Can we please get somebody halfway competent to redo Sanderson's job at the ending? Y'all all get to go back to the books when the show deviates from how Jordan wrote. Where do I get to go to read the Last Battle? Nowhere! Jordan died and a hack desecrated his series! You don't like the Myrddraal in the show? Go read the description of the black-robed figure watching Rand in EYE OF THE WORLD! It's good! It's creepy! It's better than the show! And they're still being sold, so everyone who hated the show has won (especially Cannoli, who suffered through something he despised purely to make a record of it).

BUT WHAT DO I GET FOR MY SUFFERING THROUGH SANDERSON?

If Disney could nuke decades of Star Wars out of existence, surely we can remove three books of a truly mediocre author from the canon. I'd add on a tentative "but make sure that we do a better job following it up than Disney did with the new canon of Star Wars," but between Sanderson's inability to write and Disney's inability to make good Star Wars movies I feel like we could probably just hand it off to some fanfic author and be secure in clearing that bar.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Ultra-long series have always been anomalous. - 26/05/2025 04:06:36 AM 254 Views

Sanderson did a wonderful job with the final novels. - 26/05/2025 02:29:07 AM 263 Views

Have fun with the interminable flashbacks in the next two clunkers, bud. - 26/05/2025 03:57:33 AM 244 Views
You seem to have some unusual rage directed towards Sanderson - 30/05/2025 11:05:58 PM 235 Views
I am so sick of hearing about how Sanderson saved WoT - 27/05/2025 09:58:45 PM 310 Views
I knew I'd find a kindred spirit in you, at least. - 28/05/2025 05:18:07 AM 243 Views
You would have to go back and fix the problems Jordan himself created - 30/05/2025 02:42:20 AM 253 Views
Very true. The series jumped the shark..... - 30/05/2025 11:10:33 PM 242 Views
That's rather easier said than done though. - 31/05/2025 08:12:34 PM 251 Views
No shit. In other news, the earth is a sphere. *NM* - 02/06/2025 03:02:05 PM 78 Views
