In his videos reviewing the series itself, he is overly diplomatic and only gives praise.
In his podcast at random times when it comes up, he is more honest and basically says that he was shocked at how unfaithful it was when he first read the scripts, and was upset about it, and had to tell himself it wasn't meant to be the "real" wheel of time to accept it. He tried to give feedback early on when asked, but then he stopped being asked and basically wasn't involved anymore.
Sanderson is in a position to make untold millions when Hollywood eventually starts adapting his works. Based on the insane success of his recent crowdfunding campaign, tv and film versions are not far off. He’s not going to sabotage any of that by openly criticizing the machine.
He's had people beating his door down to adapt his work for years now. He's refusing because he's too busy to actually supervise and control the adaptation. He also wants to gain experience by adapting smaller works first, and isn't going to do Stormlight until he's ready, and when he does Stormlight, he will have total creative control.
That sucks. I thought he did a good job finishing the story. Since you don’t have Robert Jordan the smart move would’ve been to heavily involved him. It makes me sad normies like it and even book readers twist themselves in knots trying to justify the show. Shadiversity has some good videos going over how the ignores source material.
I was honestly hoping the show would flop due to them not caring about the books
I have no doubt that the show will flop. With streaming shows they don't release the ratings. 55 critic score and 4.4 user score. A lot of the high user ratings are clearly fake/shill accounts. It really is not popular or successful.
To save money the whole show moved to the Czech Republic to get subsidies from the Czech government.
That’s good to know. A faithful adaptation would be huge. Game of Thrones followed the source material at the beginning although I blame Martin for his laziness

Sanderson has already created generational wealth. His kickstarter for self-published novels raised 46 million. That's insane.
I have a huge amount of respect for the dude. He's a workhorse, respects his fan, and he's not a woketard.
He's also being very selective with subsidiary rights (video games, tv/film, etc.). He's VERY conscientous about protecting the integrity of his IP.
