If that's the tone the show is going for that not really that good.They literally give Perrin a wife that he never had in the books, just so he can accidentally brutally murder her in the first episode.
Now yeah Wheel of Time shouldn't be given the tone of Game of Thrones. I don't remember the books too well but I do know that while they had their dark moments they were not that grim dark. If that's the tone the show is going for that not really that good.I don't remember the show being anywhere near as bad a GoT.
I will still watch the show with an open mind but that's a point against it.
That basically sets the tone moving forward. Episode fucking one.Worked for me and my gf, we loved season 1
They literally give Perrin a wife that he never had in the books, just so he can accidentally brutally murder her in the first episode.Ouch. Yeah.
This is apparently to "help" establish the character's notable aversion to violence that he has in the books. Y'see, in the books, he basically just grew up bigger/stronger than most, and so trained himself to be careful all the time so as to not break stuff or hurt people. And so when the time came to fight, he realized he'd much rather be a blacksmith. Yknow, because he doesn't like it.
So naturally to drive this point home, they invented a wife for him to chop in half.
That basically sets the tone moving forward. Episode fucking one.
Worked for me and my gf, we loved season 1And that's great. I'm not gonna take that from you.
I'm not gonna take that from you.Not that you could, but yeah. I understand that you don't approve of changes made for the show; it makes perfect sense. A lot of book-to-TV adaptations do a lot of things to change the feel and overall flow of the story. Game of Thrones is basically nothing like the books after a certain point, from what I hear people saying.
Ouch. Yeah.Yeah, I didn't realize he meant fridge quite like that, I thought it was the whole "constantly kidnapped" thing.
And that's great. I'm not gonna take that from you.Dont forget how they took
I personally feel it is a bad adaptation thar tries to be needlessly grimdark to try to appeal to the Game of Thrones crowd, and I feel that in so doing it does a disservice to the story and source material. And I feel the Perrin example is an easy-to-remember example that highlights this very well.
Just my opinion
It's nuts that the actor that played Mat quit the show 6 episodes in for mysterious reasons. He just didn't show up... presumably because he was nervous about covid 19 but no one really knows. This is why he doesn't enter the Ways with the rest of the group (which apparently was edited and partially reshot).
Not a professional way to handle things, I'm sure his acting career is toast.

To be clear, I dont think they depictedThe scene in the tower where Moiaine visits Suian. She stands in front of the fireplace and Travels to Suians room. Sure it's a short trip, maybe a few floors but just peeping that a "handful of seasons" early ruins pretty much anytime the group travels with Moraine. It's defies logic as far as storytelling. These writers were given the bullets points of the story. One said hey theres this travel thing wouldnt it be cool if Moraine did this to visit Suian. We could use some cool cgi too. Then everyone around the claps and say that thats a great idea. Not one has read it and don't care about telling a coherent storyTravelingin the show, thats just what they made aWaygatelook like.
The last four books are by far the best IMO for what its worth.

I thought that was their rooms being connected by a terangreal that facilitated it. If Moiraine could Travel, whyd they go through the horse chase dog and pony show?
I thought that was their rooms being connected by a terangreal that facilitated it.It is.
The X-Ray trivia bit for this scene says:
There are objects of the One Power created for specific purposes. Some of these objects do very mundane things like play music or create fabric, while others act as doorways to different places, spaces or experiences.
My second biggest criticism is Lan ripping his shirt open in grief. That moment felt like a Wheel of Time parody.
