And here I thought witchcraft wasn't a thing, but these necromancers brought up the writer from the dead to have him dictate his preferred presentation.
I may be a shill for hire, but I'm also a creative consultant for hire. Here's a freebie, from my own witchcraft: I can see the future.
This show will fail. When it does, the people behind it will go "how could this have happened? We never saw this coming." They will then proceed to blame the audience (or the active lack of it) for the failure, not their own actions and decisions. This is set in stone, the timelines waver only insofar as a major event eliminating the airing of the show itself being able to alter this static point in history.
Someone will bring up the original vision, the original script, the original writing, the original setting, the original work, and/or the original ideas put forward, as reasons as to why the written series was successful in the first place, and that such things should be maintained in the adaptations. This someone will be berated and pilloried, a pariah, hated for they were a truthspeaker to a lord of lies.
The main people behind the abortion of a work it will be, however, have a different fate. They will walk away with their pay, far above the pay rate of the average Walmart greeter who, frankly, could have done a better job of it. And they will find another property to destroy, to continue earning their keep, rewarded for their efforts even as failure dogs their every decision, every action, every choice.
Hear, hear!
The showrunner stated many times that the 'books are dated' [???], so it is a must to rewrite them to the irrecognizability, because the 'modern audience' wants to watch a modernised version. They will not use Robert Jordan's story (???), his descriptions (???), his dialogues (???) etc., it will be WOT in name only.

Perfect conclusion. Sadly.
He also said it’s a story about Moraine.
He (or rather she) said many 'interesting' things. He (or rather she) is such a big 'fan' that he doesn't know basic things about the series...
Exactly. But we are the bad ones for respecting source material
