The Wheel of Time adaptation is going to be absolutely horrendous. With no meaningful previous adaptations setting expectations for the audience, and a dead author offering no guidance, the painfully woke showrunner can present this series however he likes.

I am semi-interested to see how they fuck it up. It's a story about a massive Gary Stu dominating a world full of Mary Sues. Are they going to just shit on the main character of the series? Replace him? Make him gay or bi or trans? Because we all know they will not permit a red-headed straight white dude to be the most powerful and important character in a modern adaptation of a gigantic fantasy epic.

As for the books: they are ridiculously bloated with repetitive and pointless detail, to the point where you can literally skip the 10th book altogether and miss almost nothing important. The closing books, written by fill-in writer Brandon Sanderson, are much tighter but also much more derivative and cliche, feeling almost like they belong to another series. All in all, a tough series to recommend given its length and lulls. Some quality highs in there, though.
