And showrunners who know better than the author. I can understand some changes here and there but they make drastic changes. I saw the summaries of the episode and no surprise they push the girl power and lgbt stuff. Along with race swaps. Moraine and her best friend end up with men. I’m wondering if they’ll even show that.
I think they're overcompensating because they know they can never write anything as engaging or appealing as the source material, so they end up desperate to leave their stamp on the work. They're willing to see the IP fail just so they can claim any level of popularity as due to their contribution.
IMO it's a bit of this and a bit of plain mean-spirited cultural vandalism, wrapped up in a cloak of self-righteous masturbatory wokeness. The pieces of shit maladapting one beloved cultural property after another seriously seem to have a major hard-on for trying to turn said properties into trashfires to spite both the fans and the original creators, for daring to create (and like) 'problematic' messages - like how a core theme of WoT is that men & women are different but complement each other and need to work together, or literally everything about LOTR from its naturalistic, anti-industrial themes to Tolkien's devout Catholicism and desire to create an Anglo-Saxon natural & cultural myth.
Welp, at least the LOTR fanbase seems a lot wiser & more united in bitter opposition to Amazon's bullshit than the Wheel of Time fans were. I'm still flabbergasted that any among the latter were still surprised that a modern (or rather 'postmodern') adaptation of their source material would turn out so badly this late in the game, but at least their experience has served to further put the LOTR crowd on guard against Amazon. If anyone can turn the latest project of woke cultural vandals into a Cowboy Bebop-tier dumpster fire that gets canceled after one disastrous season, it's probably them.
Definitely, but I think it's motivated by their absolute unwillingness to face their inadequacy. Sure, they do it for the woke points, but would they even deign to lower xirself to work on some shitty nerddom if they could generate their own popular content? Hell no. They definitely hate us, but they need us too, and that makes them hate us even more- almost as much as themselves.
I really hate this logic. These people are narcissistic monsters. They don’t hate themselves at all. They hate the world for rejecting their obvious brilliance, and that’s not the hallmark of someone who is insecure or lashing out due to their own inadequacies. You don’t go to war with reality itself because you’re “unsure” about your talents. You do it because you’re a delusion shithead imagining your greatness.
They said that exact thing on Friday Night Tights a few weeks back
Her best friend dies because she's an arrogant dumbass who repeatedly doesn't listen to the warnings Min gives that if she and Brynn stay apart they both die.
After an assassination attempt that Brynn stops the two take this as solving the foretelling and do their own things later on which ends up with her dead and then him charging off on a mad rage induced suicide run because he feels her death through their Warder bond.
And it's not the only time that either that sort of thing happens where one of the main female characters dismisses Min's viewings like that nor is she the only main female character who dies by the end of the books.
Not that I expect this dumpster fire to go that route with those characters if the series even somehow lasts long enough to be dealing with a chapter from book 14 that's as long as some entire novels.
Yea they wouldn’t show women making bad decisions lol
Well that would mean the following characters were removed:
Aviendha, Birgitte, Cadsuane, Egwene, Elaida, Elayne, Faile, Graendal [also removed because can't have attractive women these days], Lanfear, Mesaana, Morgase, Moghedien, Nicola Treehill, Nynaeve, Siuan, Semirhage, Sorilea, Tuon.
And with the state of the changes being made removing them probably still wouldn't be the biggest changes the story will undergo 🙄
Moraine was already important. She is basically the Obi-Wan of the story
