I want this show to crash and burn hard, just like I want shitty NuTrek to crash and burn hard, because I loved what came before, and both NuWheel of Time and NuTrek shit on their legacy.
BUT... we lost.
For most people today, "Lord of the Rings" refers to the movies, not the books.
For most people today, Daniel Radcliffe will always be Harry Potter and Emma Watson will always be Hermione.
There are now people who when they think of Trek think of Discovery and JJ Abrams. There are people who think of Foundation and think of whatever the fuck that AppleTV abomination is.
Wheel of Time is forever tainted by the no-talent shits who wrote this crap.
The moral of the story is, never, ever, lose creative control of your content. GRRM kept a tight leash on the TV show until it passed his books and went off the rails.
This never would have happened if RJ was still around. He pondered actors, characters, etc., many times, and it's 100% clear that his vision for movie or TV series is nothing like what these ingrates have created.
Hollywood never "got" fantasy and science fiction. Hollywood can do action and it can do shitty dramas with a veneer of fantasy or science fiction, but it takes a strong individual auteur (Peter Jackson, Kubrick, David Lynch) to break the mold.
For whatever reason, Hollywood keeps picking the exact same type of useless effeminate girly men to write Star Trek...Star Wars...Foundation...Wheel of Time...etc. Fans respond negatively, directors freak out and attact fans, and the cycle of insanity continues.
