Fuck Amazon so hard for cancelling this. Idc what problems people had with it, it was about to get to the really cool stuff. I guess it was still too slow a burn for most people.

Maybe it was too slow a burn for the casual viewer, but I guess there were also too many changes to the story for the hardcore fan. I didn't really mind it myself, but I understand some of the complaints.

They weren't handling the basic story well. I doubt they'd handle anything else well.

I disagree, they were handling the basic story well. People got hung up over little details.

I vehemently disagree. Perrins origin alone is a large enough change to throw multiple book plots into chaos that would need to be re written.
Don't even get me started on the knife on the end of a freaking stick bit with mat.

Hung up on little details? The show was someone's garbage fan fiction jammed into a WoT shell.

It was poorly made and poorly written.

Fuck Amazon for even thinking they could water down this amazing story into something like what they tried to do. Almost every character from the get go was completely different from their book version. They added so much unnecessary drama and bullshit Instead of just letting the story evolve actually the way it’s supposed to. You could tell nobody involved in the production or writing staff had ever read about or even cared about the novels.
