i like my fantasy slop leave the wheel of time alone!!! :rage-cry:
In all seriousness, most genuine praise I’ll give the show is that they made some decently thought out changes to some characters that I always thought were just dumb and cringy. Not specifically talking about character traits or character growth, but Robert Jordan’s hints of weirdness coming through.
My biggest gripe is how rushed everything turned out.
It's closer to the author pointing out how dumb those takes are by flipping them on their heads, like having characters talk about how gossipy and useless men are.
Sure, you can categorize scifi and fantasy from the 50s-90s based on plot, subject matter, genre, whatever. Or you could categorize it based on the authors barely concealed sexual fetish that will reliably show up in every book they write.

Everything I've heard about Wheel of Time makes it sound like 14 books of :grillman: level takes about how women are like this, men are like that
