Yes!!!!!! A victory for actual book fans who despise this “I’m going to bring out lgbt content” or “I’m a male feminist” showrunner. Also to all the people in comments sections who attacked me for saying that it was ridiculous for a small isolated town to be multiracial and that once they leave they come across different cultures
That was the argument I made as well. It's a rural village, Two Rivers, why they fuck did they make it like 2020 London? Everyone would be the same ethnicity after a couple generations. So.. are we to infer this world is super metropolitan in travel? Or, that Two Rivers is highly insular and clannish? It's the same glaring problem with Rings of Power. Why the fuck does this small hobbit clan have ridiculous levels of disparity? In a theme (fantasy) that already requires you to suspend disbelief, it just sucks you outta the show.
Though with WoT, that was just a drop in the bucket. The opening montage already slayed the magic system and heirarchy. I didn't make it through the first episode it was such trash. Rand not even feeling like a main character.
I haven’t watched but I’ve been told it is obvious that it is downplaying the males. And as I’ve said before in the books they meet different people of different countries and cultures so it was dumber to race swap.
They've sidelined Rand hard. He's in a severe Henry Cavill situation. Guy read the books and wanted to do them justice. Shame nobody else did either.
I didn’t know that about the dude that played Rand. That sucks
