I highly enjoyed the series. He is writing a new series at the moment that is also quite good.

They burned too many bridges with fans of the books and the audience they wanted never showed up. WoT may be too toxic to touch for a decade or longer. I think we'll get AI renditions before we ever see the remains of Hollywood try it again.

Fourth Wing? That is not fantasy. It is romantasy. 🤢

Money laundering? I do not get the super expensive 8 episode BS with a 2-3 year cadence. It is stupid when people are watching unproduced YouTube garbage. It is a complete unforced error. If the writing and actors are good, then people will watch no matter the production values. They are spending money in the wrong spots. Give me the older 22 episode season any day of the week. The short seasons only make sense for tight, mini-series style story arcs.

It's not a bad theory but, if true, shows the writers did not understand the Age. The Dark One has been touching the world since the Bore. Ishmael was loose for 3000 years. The world had steadily decayed for the entire period from the Age of Legends, to the Ten Nations, Artur Hawkwing, to present. It was Rand, as the Dragon Reborn, that changed the decline. So, the world was steeped in growing darkness until the Lord of the Morning returned.

I think there is a fair argument that if WoT show has remained closer to the books and not turned off a huge segment of fans, then it may have endured. I have seen numerous threads now blaming the "book snobs" for the cancellation. It was cancelled due to lack of audience. There is no good argument that people should watch something they dislike just to keep it going.

Funny, the prologue is what sold me on the series. The Emond's Field start can be slow until you get to the Trolloc raid. The prologue remains one of my favorite scenes in fantasy.
