Nah, those claims were true and borne out by its fate. It failed because viewership was bad. Viewership was bad because it wasn’t a good adaptation.

God, that would be even worse than Rafes version. I cringed at literally every cut you listed, except the circus. Tam as Damodred 🤮

Yeah, nobody is saving this series. It was never an option. Viewership had a huge drop off after s1, and that continued. There is not a fanbase big enough to make continuing a viable option. Especially at the ridiculous cost associated with the series. Book readers bailed early, and picking up new fans just wasn’t going to happen. what I want is an animated series that actually follows the books. But that is also unlikely.

Man, I just don’t think you understand what I wrote in this thread, what Jordan wrote in the books, or what he, himself publicly stated. you keep saying I’m wrong. You also keep making ridiculous statements like “Jordan’s gender roles are arbitrary and invented”, which of course they were invented, it’s a fantasy world, but they certainly weren’t arbitrary, they were specific to different regions and cultures. The idea you think gender roles are about baking bread and raising families is absurd. There is far more to it than that. Gender roles have always varied from culture to culture, with certain roles being widely accepted, like men going to war and doing the hunting, women child rearing, preserving foods and foraging, etc. while others are vastly different than ours. In some cultures women have always been head of the household, but in most it’s men. What doesn’t change is that both sexes, in every culture, have gender roles that complement each other. And there were plenty of regular families, but you realize that we spend the books following the characters that that are literally changing the world around them, just because they aren’t the focus, doesn’t mean they weren’t there. I mean, it is there. All of Emonds Field for one. The regular folk of Camelyn and the like. In book two the horn hunters come across a slaughtered village, those people were just going about their lives, and have no part in the story beyond their deaths. Of course we aren’t regularly experiencing that part of life, but it’s definitely there. They just aren’t usually the focus of the story. We’re following characters of prophecy, kings, queens, generals, powerful Wizards, witches, and warriors. The people living normal lives are in the background. There is no reason to follow them.
