Do you think that if Wheel of Time had been made pre woke era then it could’ve reached the GOT early season popularity? Or close to it? I was going through my books and wondering what if someone who wasn’t a typical Hollywood douchebag had been the showrunner and no race swaps or changing the story to make the women look even stronger.
And speaking of GOT, that should be a prime example along with Westworld about what happens when you inject stuff like unnecessary girl power themes
The WoT books are just too dense to ever translate well onto the screen. There's too much going on, and literally thousands of speaking characters in each book. Granted, quite a bit of it could be cut out without really effecting the main story, but even without the wokeness, I really think you'd have trouble creating a show that an audience could follow and actually understand everything that's going on.
I guess I can’t argue that. There is probably a reason I am a huge book fan and prefer reading to watching tv.
