Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons

It was obvious they had the same issue as several other recent adaptations: The showrunner wants to make original content and think it’s so good that people wont care that it differs from the source.

Yeah I watched the first two episodes of Foundation and immediately peaced out. And that one’s even more ridiculous because the foundation books are more of an outline than an actual fleshed out story. So really, all they had to do was fill in the blanks. And they still fucked it up beyond all recognition. I’m sure it was probably enjoyable to somebody who’s never read even one of the Foundation books. But for somebody who’s read the entire series it was an insult.

I really tried for both of them, but they seem to fall into the same mistake.
The wild thing is how the Fallout show was one of the most source accurate adaptations in a while.
