See AllMoiraine's New Weapon Is A Huge Change To The Wheel Of Time Books
Actually Exhausted made good points in general about books being adapted to film/ TV etc though...
I get people being drawn into a particular storyline from a series, plot from a series, etc... i get that. But there are so many challenges when it comes to it, especially with a massive, in depth series with 14(+?) books. Things are going to need simplified if you're not going to do 14+ seasons, things will need cut or changed. Not everyone will like the changes or all of the changes. Calling an entire series trash because it's not 100% to the original books/ story isn't being realistic of the challenges in changing a format, etc.
There's nothing wrong with having a love of the original, or not liking the changes made because of a change in format and need to adapt to make it work or make sense for a screen vs a book. But there's also nothing wrong with keeping an open mind and trying to at least understand changes that were made and why and appreciate the effort either. Being the series is about a wheel of time, different realities/ time lines/ etc, it actually makes a lot of sense for allowing for changes to the story too.
