One could say that's nothing, they continued even Jack Ryan etc. after their abysmal ratings, but it's very good to see that the viewership, which was minimal even after a huge marketing campaign (second season has undetectable marketing, Amazon knows it's a lost cause), is getting lower uninterruptedly with every episode.
Don't worry Mr Jordan, people care about your books, but they do not care about the 'adaptation'.
Oh really? I didn’t hear that he was playing the blame game. If this was 15 years ago and with the right showrunner who knew what to keep and to take out this show could’ve been a massive hit. With Game of Thrones I’m so glad that it started when it did or else it would be just another “diverse fantasy”. Granted by the end it was heavily influenced by girl power.
'it would be just another “diverse fantasy”'
I was banned from every WOT forum (and many televison forums) for 'hate speech' when I presented a list about the skin colours of the characters based on almost a hundred quotes from the books plus posting Robert Jordan's list about Audrey Hepburn as Egwene etc.
But one of the 'actresses' can say 'when I went to the audition, I saw white people everywhere'. But she's not racist, not at all. I'm the racist quoting Robert Jordan's own words and thoughts.
I stopped going to the subreddit once the show cast was announced and I saw praise for it. I don’t get it because they do meet people of different races/cultures on their journey.
I hope the crappy show makes some people but the books at least
"once the show cast was announced"
That announcement killed my interest in the show forever. They don't care about even being faithful to such a basic thing as skin colour then I don't care about the show, because they will change everything.
The books spends a lot of time letting you know how isolated Two Rivers is. Makes zero sense for it to look like New York City
I wish you hadn’t said that. I didn’t think I could despise Amazon for butchering the source material any more. That shows that either nobody read the books or they ignored everything
They put in a black one with red hair. See there problem solved.
He blames Covid, Amazon (from advertising through lack of money til number of episodes), Covid, actors (availability...), Covid, Marvel (!), Covid, the strike, Covid, etc.
(Blaming Marvel movies!!!)
Instead of being honest for a few seconds:
Yes, I'm the showrunner, I despise the books, despise the fans, and I want to destroy Robert Jordan's RANDland.
I knew the show was in deep trouble when he said he will bring out lgbt content where it is only hinted at. He also said he was a feminist. I hear they really ruin Rand’s character
He also said his favourite character is Egwene, one of the most insufferable characters as the books go on. Willing to bet he'd change the ending too so she doesn't die.
'Willing to bet he'd change the ending too so she doesn't die.'
For me, the story ends with KOD, I don't care about Sanderson's writings, and her death was not decided by Jordan (!), it was Sanderson's idea, so Egwene lives on in my head.
By the way, the most hated characters in every poll I saw in the last 25+ years were Faile, Egwene, and Gawyn...
And I saw someone saying it was sexist for three women to be in love with Rand.
I predict that long time ago on Dragonmount: somebody will claim that he's the bigger fan ever, then he will destroy the Rnadland methodically.
It's a good thing that I (and you) did not watched even a second from this show.
So he's a whiny faggot who can't stand any criticism because he's probably been surrounded by Yes-man up until now which is why most people have no idea who the fuck he is.
Just an example: he threatened fans with things like this one: (not an exact quote) 'More criticism means I will turn more heterosexual characters into homosexual characters!'
Does a sane human being say things like this one? I don't think so.
