Just putting this here for those who might miss it.

I saw season 1 and it was…okay? I gather that Wheel of Time diehards were upset about plot deviations. I never read the books so that didn't matter much to me. IMO the world setting seemed janky - it was as though Robert Jordan couldn't build an original world to save his life and borrowed bits and pieces of different Earth cultures and threw them in a blender. I could pass on the next season but I have too many people around me who will want to watch it so I feel somewhat compelled to.

What did you think of season 1? Will you be watching season 2?

    I lost all interest early on in season 1 but watched through the train wreck out of morbid curiosity. I have no interest in watching further.

    As a fan of the books, flaws and all, the show writers have ignored or flat out contradicted key plot elements and missed fundamental world building beats.

    Lan having a big fit crying and screaming at a funeral is such a stark contrast to his novel character that it cannot be reconciled.

    This is like making Aragorn a misogynist, or having him bully the hobbits for being so short. Just a complete backflip.

      Wait, Lan did what?

        He also spent most of the show sulking around and being a soft-ass emo dude. It was really annoying.

          I am all for a different interpretation, but I was looking forward to a really bad-ass Lan.

      Afaik that Lan bit was inspired by something from some asian culture(s). And your analogies are really terrible. I also didn’t like that version of Lan, but you come across as someone who tries to dislike it.

        So not inspired or informed by the character and his culture from the novels.

        You come across as someone who brown noses pathetic hack writers.
