This Rafe bloke is destroying books I deeply love.
There is simply no purpose to so many of his/the producers changes.
This is truly "inspired by" or "based on"...in the most loosely applicable sense.
They are literally taking themes from the books and creating their own story...a story that doesn't even remotely follow details and plot lines accurately.
I get that at times Jordan was verbose and that there must be some changes in any adaptation...but the things that are true to the books are occasional homage and by far in the minority.
What do others think???
This is how I look at it, this is a different turning of the wheel. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see the good guys lose this round.
That's the beauty of the Wheel of Time. If season 2 ended with the Dark One winning and then things resetting and going another round, I would be ok with that. I know a lot of people wouldn't. But the wheel has turned out this story an infinite number of times, most of them failures. Only 2 solutions are final. One the Dark One destroying the wheel, and one of the Dark One being permanently destroyed. So I am going to shut up and enjoy this series for what it is, a separate turning of the wheel.
What are they doing to Canon?
