Before the first 6 seasons of GoT, pretty much every book to screen SF/Fantasy adaption was awful. An okay-ish adaptation was something to celebrate. WoT and Rings of Power were okay-ish.
- Mistletoe 2y agoAre you just mind deleting the LOTR trilogy?
- bryanlarsen 2y agoYes, there are notable exceptions. Princess Bride is another. There are more. But they are vastly outnumbered by the crud.
- philipkglass 2y agoI'd nominate The Leftovers as the most successful fantasy adaptation for TV, even if it wasn't the type of fantasy that has dragons and swords. Unlike Game of Thrones it was consistently good to the end.
- Avicebron 2y agoIdk about you but I have been a WoT since I discovered them in middle school, read every book multiple times, audiobooks etc. Similar if a bit less for rings of power, they absolutely butchered them in the name of some weird political agenda
- ecshafer 2y agoI am with you. I starting reading WoT in middle school, I think when about 8 or 9 books were out. I re-read that whole series multiple times in the last 20-25 years. The adaption is mind boggling, and the changes make absolutely no sense. The adaption practically feels like it was made by someone who hates the wheel of time, and wanted to make it bad.
