The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World (2021)
I will do what must be done!
Haven't even seen the episode yet, but reading reviews (and I am sure those are true book fans reviews) makes me want to speak my mind... I grew up with this story and can easily say that Robert Jordan's perception of friendship, honor, wisdom, pride, love, dedication ... (I can go on and on for hours) became my own at an early age. It shapes who I am today and for that I will forever be a true and passionate fan of the books... As such, along with the excitement, while I was waiting for the show to premiere, I felt the inevitable fan fear that it may ruin my...memory of the story and the way I felt about it. Now 7 episodes later, soon to be
8 I can only say that Rafe and team deserve more from true fans! I do not need to see a copy/paste script from the books to understand that the creators of this show respect them and are building the world with admiration for it! Adapting WOT is a mission as impossible for a person not familiar with the book content as it is for a fan not willing to give anything from the books up! And Rafe is none of the above... Will he adapt the show the way I would have... obviously not, do I like 100% of it... no I don't, am I sure that this is the best possible way to do it, or that it will be great at the end... no, but I hope so! Because it needs to be! Rafe just has to do, what he needs to do in the name of the light, because the wheel chose him to do it! :) I believe that every person sees the story differently and I respect the way he does... One thing is certain, if it is to become better and greater...the greatest, the show will need support. One thing it certainly doesn't lack is potential!
Well, I've now seen the episode and am dissapointed by it, as I guess everybody else,but I still stand by my words! It needs to be and it will be the greatest show. It juat needs time for the wheel to turn!
