So predictable. Butcher someone else’s work and then cry that people who actually respect the work are racist. I’m surprised they didn’t do that with wheel of time

I think they thought that WoT will be a success but have less faith in this one. Or they want more attention as I do not think there is to much hype for The Rings of Power

With the Wheel of Time I lost all faith when I saw the casting and the first thing the showrunner discussed was lgbt representation I knew it would be garbage. Plus I heard that they mess up the storyline and change things to give the females even more spotlight.

I lost all faith after the showrunner said his favorite character was Egwene, and the race casting

What is nuts is that the books are full of female characters with authority. Also once they leave their town they meet people of different races. Look at Matt’s wife for example. Yet that wasn’t enough for Amazon.

We really should just keep pointing out what happens to her in the end. Not that I expect the showrunner to stick to that, rather instead pull a Filoni and prevent his waifu from getting killed.

I gave up when I read that Perrin killed his wife in episode 1.

What a pointless, stupid change. In the books, Perrin wasn't married. If the showrunners are willing to make huge, pointless changes like that to the first episode, it says nothing positive about what they'll do to the rest of the show.

Yea he didn’t get married til a number of books later. Also I heard they showed moraine in a lesbian relationship. I know the books mention pillow friends but they didnt spend an excessive amount of time on it. Plus she married a dude by the end of the books.

Even then JKR wrote HP to still possibly include Nevil as a/the Chosen One which is why his parents were tortured then murdered because said Chosen One was meant to be born around a specific time and both Harry and Nevil applied. While Harry carries the lion's [heh] share of the burden Nevil does later on play a significant part in destroying the big bad by pulling off a Crowning Moment of Awesome [pulling the Gryffendor sword out the Sorting Hat] and killing/destroying the final Horcrux.

Neither the books or the films made any allusions Harry wasn't the protag though despite the importance Nevil might play nor when he did play that role.
