Yup, definitely agree with Matthew on this one. That whole scene of her apparently bringing Nynaeve back from the dead in season 1 was the epitome of stupid. If they had to show someone being brought back from the BRINK of death--what the show had was of someone 100% dead, not almost dead--then Nynaeve Healing Egwene would have made more sense. As is, that moment in the show got the biggest eye role and facepalm/headdesk of everything from that season from me. There were a lot of other stupid things, but none of them could hold a candle to the stupidity of those women to attempt to destroy the Trollocs with their crappy abilities (since most of them were women who had very little ability/potential to use the Power while Egwene and Nynaeve, though they the potential for strength in the Power had no abilities yet/were very untrained).

Dude, these brothers don't know if they are orphans or not because their mother is dead and they have absolutely no idea whether their father is still alive or not. Why do they need constant conflict between the two of them when they have shared trauma? As others here have said, there is some conflict a bit later on, but thankfully it gets resolved. There is enough OUTER conflict between the brothers and the government/powers-that-be, their environment, etc, they don't need conflict between the two of them as well--that would have made the later parts of the series too complicated. Honestly, I feel like the conflict that does happen between them really shouldn't have even been a thing, but the manga author had it in there, so that's why it's also in the anime 🤷🏻‍♀.

Yes sister! You are 100% right! As soon as I read that sentence about the "other four ta'veren" I was immediately like "only the three dudes are ta'veren!!!!" I will always love the books. I would love for the show to be cancelled already.

I have never heard of fans who like the movies and books laughing at the big battle scene. Anyone who read the books first were pretty confused why there was the big battle scene when seeing the movie for the first time, but once everyone understood it was what Aro saw from Alice's ability, everyone I know of was super cool with it. I also don't really know of anyone who thinks the werewolves' CGI sucked. The "uncanny valley" baby Renesmee is the only thing you mention that I know every fan would love to be fixed. Maybe others who are fans like me can chime in with their own take, but just saying that none of the fans in my friend group really had issues with anything else VFX wise.

This was actually a fairly good article compared to most of those I read on here about the Greta Gerwig adaptations. Yes, they should 100% stay away from giving the Pevensies any romantic storylines unless they are adapting The Horse and His Boy, then they can do a smidge of that with Susan being "courted" by the Prince of Calormen when she's an adult since it was straight up in the book. I also agree that the addition of the rivalry between Peter and Caspian in the movie was 100% unnecessary and actually took away from the characters. Peter knew from the beginning that Caspian was supposed to be the rightful ruler of Narnia at that point in Narnia's history and that Peter's role was to help Caspian become that ruler, not be king himself for a second time.

I would love it if Greta would decide to be very faithful to the books like the BBC miniseries were back in 1988-1990, I would just like to see it all done with a bigger budget for those things that do require CG; they just need to build in plenty of time to make sure that none of that CG sticks out like a sore thumb. That was one good thing about the movies--most of the visual effects, especially for the talking animals and mythical beasts, looked pretty good. I would just like to see that applied to a more faithful adaptation than Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movies were.
