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'.
And no wonder that the showrunner gives very weird interviews in these days, where he blames everybody and anything except himself and his colleagues...
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.
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.
