I don't care how first time watchers see this.
They took the Poetry out of a Wheel of Time.
They took complex characters and broke them.
They took glorious moments and ruined them.
A wise old wolf, tutor, partner becomes a whining dog
A young man earning his heron marked sword becomes a sham of a blademaster.
Logain turns into a drunken joke.
Morainine and Siuan lose all their complexity
Even the Chosen have been ruined.
Whatever this is, it is NOT Wheel of Time.
