So...yeah. Loaded opinions and some personal attacks here that I want to try and avoid, but I did want to say that, though I did not like a majority of the changed plots, I never wanted the show to fail. I wanted it to succeed, and show more of what made the books memorable. So, hater maybe yes, but I in no way wanted the show to fail, because I know it's more than likely that nobody will attempt to touch this series again to make another show.
I think the overall style of writing was not that great, compared to the flow in the books (regardless of the adherence to the original main story plots), and I've never agreed with "character development" being a motivation for killing other characters (I mean, the last half of Season 3 alone: Sammael, Loail, Siuan, "red coronation", and Melindhra...but not Alanna, no; there must be exceptions...). At least Alsera was somewhat understandable, as it was a similar event in the books; but when you start the series off by doing so (i.e., Perrin), it becomes more than just a crutch, it becomes a depressing trope.
Anyone who has read the entire series, and supposedly loves it, would be hard pressed to take key moments out, even for the sake of saving presentation timeon screen to advance the overall story. They had to know what they were attempting to do was near impossible without proper planning and forethought, but the show never presented itself that way.
It was inconsistently done across the board. For Rand, the "romance" between Rand and Selene was too drawn out (after the Lanfear reveal), the lack of swordsmanship but keeping the heron mark blade, the sign of the dragon at Falme... these and many other decisions made the main character look weak. Egwene was a powerhouse in the book, so I don't agree that she should have been presented in a less favorable way, but taking out the Aiel cultural interaction (as gai'shan), and her unquestiond abilitiesin TAR did her a disservice. Perrin...like, why even have the yellow eyes if he isn't talking with wolves or hunting in TAR. That's all issue with character development. Nynaeve was good, but less fiery; and towards the end, I was beginning to enjoy Mat, Min, Thom, and Elayne.
There's the world building too, like the "laws" ensuring consistency in how the True Power is used, or simple human social dynamics. Very inconsistent, and very little diversity. Mixing different populations to the point where they have no defining character (other than farming in the Two Rivers and a bawdy song in Tanchico) is a disservice; nobody can be drawn in to a story world where each individual place looks different, but the people look and act the same.
So, no, I didn't want the show to die, I wanted it to be better, and engrossing. It felt to me more frustrating and incoherent though, I'm not a director or an author, so I can't rightly say what could have been done better. I am a reader and a viewer though, and as a Wheel of Time story, the three seasons were disappointing; I know it deserved better, if they were to move forward.
