2nd try: who was the guy who was running with the first FD, and then poofed.

Come on dude. What you are saying makes zero sense.

More details please.

No one has yet expained why only 1 trolloc was sent to the Al'thor farm

It was the big mofo Trolloc, twice the size of Lan's mincemeat. General Trolloc thought it was handled. He wasn't counting on Rand being a dirty backstabber.

Jean Valjean. Now there's a thief!

was also picked second-to last to play kickball after school. Sorry. 

In the book, the Nightwolf character was QB of the trollocball team. Will not be watching the next episodes because of the egregious abomination.

Now we're talking! Can you cut it down to 620 episodes?

may be under duress...

We should mount a rescue operation. Someone can storyboard it. Also, please find four sexually-repressed teens for the cast.

large chunk of the current energy crisis.

Unless people are driving while posting, the demand for gasoline will decrease.

Four naive, sexually-repressed teens, are driven out of their home town by 8 foot monsters in 20 minutes. Where were the moments when the teens bonded and became bffs. How did the monsters go wrong. So much left to my undeveloped imagination.

620 if you leave out the Seachan.

Bad guy? Maybe if you're all dressed in white?

Wow. Your town is attacked by 8 foot monsters out  of myth, half the people are killed, in words, but seeing it on screen makes it "far more brutal." Just need a more vivid imagination.

There should be an alternate Amazon-ish WoT wiki. It would be great to see people with this idea create an alternate series with scenes for each episode. Of course, if it turns out to be 1400 episodes because of everything included, it just might be priced out of the market. But sticking to the same length and number of episodes, an alternate, and superior creation, would be fascinating.

Think Robinhood. He stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Again,  like many things, it's a visual way to take the place of thousands of words.

Wiki sez,

Mat is often described as lazy, roguish, immature, tactless, and brazen. He is not afraid to flout any and all authority figures around him, and typically tries whatever he can to shirk responsibility and work."

Taking valuables from a dead Aeil in a hostile town when you are starving, doesn't seem out of character, as above.

Sorry, it was Liberty Dog in a response to you. Unfortunately, the results of the search function don't allow quoting.

Another homage to lotr or is it?:

Galadriel: 

And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. 

Moiraine:

Ages come and pass leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth and even myth is long forgotten.

But, did Tolkien write the Galadriel words or Peter Jackson? And did Peter Jackson read WoT before FOTR?

Elder_haman said:

He killed at least 3 in the book.  Their was zero reason for him to lose the fight in that manner.  He could have won the fight and still been injured. The pattern of changes is plainly there to see, whether you agree or not.

‐----------------

To be fair, the Trolloc fighting Tam was twice the size of the Trollocs fighting Lan. 

But the point is correct. Tam's relative prowess is reduced in Amazon. Perhaps to both enhance the Trollocs and also to leave the real sword mastery to Lan and other more major characters.

Another lotr homage:

Tam Al Thor : All we can do is the best we can do with the life that's given us.

Gandalf: All we have to decide is what to do with the time that's given us.

There's a closed topic on the "old man." Is this the one who disappears after running with the FD in the intro?

Another amazing homage to lotr:

Lotr: The world is changed...

WoT: The world is broken...

Both the first words of the series, and voiced by the fantastic Cate Blanchett and Rosamund Pike

Btw, has Matt's tumbling dice missed it's chance or will it appear?

LoTR homages:

The overhead shot of the horses galloping through the plain recalls the Nazgul chasing Arwen and Frodo.

Rand telling Matt that the tale of him being chilly will be told, recalls Frodo telling Sam, the story of Sam the Steadfast.

The negative wave is back. I guess it's a sign of the times that people go out of their way to come to a site to trash the product and threaten (who?) that they're going to stop watching. Great, stop.

Changes from the book to amazon or in other adaptations come in these categories:

Insertions: e.g. Nynaeve abduction, Aragorn's river trip. 

Deletions: Thom's moustachios, Tom Bombadil

Re-ordering: Nynaeve reaches Moraine, Aragorn reaches Helm's Deep

Consolidation: Dana darkfriend, Arwen Glorfindel

Redefinition: Dragon Reborn, Elf Warrior Maiden

Any of these can change the nature of the story, but none of them necessarily do.
