The Wheel of Time Season One
SCORE: 44
First and foremost I have read many of the
Robert Jordan books that the The Wheel of Time Season One is based off
of. In typical Holly Weird fashion almost everything has to be
redefined. It is like Holly Weird nowadays has to tick certain boxes.
Redefine the story, cast in a racial diverse way, and include some
sexual deviancy. The Wheel of Time Season One on Amazon Prime does that.
What The Wheel of Time Season One does do not do is stay true to the
source material.
I am absolutely baffled at how extremely important portions of the books
are ignored in The Wheel of Time Season One. SPOILER ALERT! Rand
cleanses the magical source in the books. In The Wheel of Time Season
One he barely channels. The sexism against men from the women is really
hammered home in The Wheel of Time Season One. The books even exposed
how men and women need one another and worked together.
The issues families will have with The Wheel of Time Season One are
magic, blood, gore, violence, bad language, lack of attire, nudity,
enticement to lust, gambling, spirits, sex outside of marriage, sexual
deviancy, reincarnation, and more. The Wheel of Time Season One cannot
even stay true to who certain characters are. The rolling of the dice in
Matt's head for example.
There are plenty of beautiful locations in The Wheel of Time Season One.
Tar Varlon looks amazing. The power of the Aes Sedai is definitely
abused within The Wheel of Time Season One. The White Cloaks are on a
mission to root out the Darkfiends in the books. They are shown as evil
in The Wheel of Time Season One. The casting choices in The Wheel of
Time Season One are questionable at best. Rand is the only one that
really fits for me.
The best part about The Wheel of Time Season One is it is only eight
episodes long. When The Wheel of Time Season One says it is based off of
the books I add loosely. I have chatted with others that have read the
books the they all despise The Wheel of Time Season One. Sadly the
damage has been done and I do not see any future seasons fixing the
problems created in The Wheel of Time Season One.
