I keep betting notifications and emails from them about the show. I know it is something else I need to let go, but it still annoys me how someone can butcher source material like that. I guess since I bought all the books from Amazon they assumed I'd be interested in the show, and if this was early 2000s or prior then yes I would be interested in an adaptation of a book series I enjoyed. If there was ever a nerd court I would put that showrunner on trial. He actually said we want to bring out lgbt content where it is only hinted at as well as the fact that he is a feminist. I would've countered with if the author didn't have much gay stuff in the books maybe it wasn't a priority for him.
I remember I used to get on the WOT subreddit when I was reading the books and had good discussions, then the cast photos came out and I was hoping people would call it out for the obvious "modern day casting", but they didn't and the ones who did say they looked nothing like the book described got the usual attacks.
My parents started watching it and they stopped. My dad will say a show "went gay on him" and stops watching. I used to think he was going overboard but I have pretty much reached that point with anything after 2014 especially with black/female/lgbt stuff since they just keep going on and on about it. I need a trusted recommendation or the one person I'll give a pass to is Denzel since he is one of my all time favorite actors.
Anyway, I really hope Wheel of Time gets cancelled. I would also love to see people refuse to sell the rights of a book/book series to these mega corporations. I fear that what they did to WOT is only child's play compared to what Netflix will do to the Narnia series. Thank goodness they lost the rights to Conan.
Are they still trying to say that the dragon reborn can be female? I think it was you who said that they took Rand’s big moment and gave it to the ladies.
And someone told me Moraine is in some lesbian relationship. So I guess she won’t be getting married to the guy at the end. Min is supposed to be one of Rand’s wives but I’m sure they see three women in love with one man as sexist even though you can find endless romance stories of two guys fighting over a woman
Lan and moiraine weren't a thing in the books either but I won't spoil his character arcs that come later. Give them a shot, they're actually good.
I know. I just didn’t want to spoil the ending about who she marries. I enjoyed the relation of Lan and Moraine in the books as well as Moraine mentoring Rand.
Cracks me up how when it comes to lgbt they either faithfully adapt or the slightest hint of it has to be expanded
