Just putting this here for those who might miss it.

I saw season 1 and it was…okay? I gather that Wheel of Time diehards were upset about plot deviations. I never read the books so that didn’t matter much to me. IMO the world setting seemed janky - it was as though Robert Jordan couldn’t build an original world to save his life and borrowed bits and pieces of different Earth cultures and threw them in a blender. I could pass on the next season but I have too many people around me who will want to watch it so I feel somewhat compelled to.

What did you think of season 1? Will you be watching season 2?

    Afaik that Lan bit was inspired by something from some asian culture(s). And your analogies are really terrible. I also didn’t like that version of Lan, but you come across as someone who tries to dislike it.

      So not inspired or informed by the character and his culture from the novels.

      You come across as someone who brown noses pathetic hack writers.
