It's frustrating how worthless user ratings have become as valid criticisms are drowned out by accusations of WOKE.

    Yeah there is a lot that's glossed over. They didn't actually touch on the saidin/saidar distinction, the taint, the war of shadow. I've had friends ask me what the differences are and it's actually pretty hard to figure out where to start.

    Definitely agree on the what is the dragon reborn point. Also even without giving the motivations for LTT just explaining why being him reincarnated isn't super exciting would have given some context. Some of the prophecy material about "and they shall weep for their salvation" would have also gone a long way.

      You'd think they'd have peppered the entire show with prophecies given how fucking well written those are, but I guess Loial's actor was too busy

        I actually really enjoy the prophecies. Don't know if you'd have any interest in it, and it can be real hit and miss, but there's the r/wetlanderhumor sub that can be pretty entertaining for WoT jokes/memes

          Oh that wasn't sarcasm. The Karaethon Cycle is legit dope as hell. And I'm already well acquainted with that barrel of jokes about water.
