Frankly, I am bummed by this news.

I read the books, but seeing how it was a decade+ ago since I last went through some of them, most of it is a blur and I can forgive some of the changes in favor of smoother storytelling.

While the show brought familiarity back, and season 1 was painfully bad in almost all ways, from adapting/changing characters to lore. The show was leaps better in S2 and with S3 each episode felt very cinematic and now told a more cohesive story.

So, even though it was adapted, I was looking out for each new episode and had high spirits for a good S4.

Alas, if it is not picked up by any other studio, the "unfilmable book series" will remain that way, no one will burn their hands on it again. So, those cheering its demise, take that in consideration.

In closing, Prime definitely did not do it full justice at the starting line and it was expensive to catch up to that fact ...
But the show was treated and produced better than Rings of Power, which does get another stay and money pumped into it, a choice I rather saw turned around.

Didn't read the books until recently. It was an okay show without the context of the books. The first season was slow and confusing but it seemed pretty par for the course for the YA fantasy genre.

Lot of people hating on it here for not sticking to the books, which is fine, I guess, but I'm glad shows like this are made otherwise the only shit I'd have to watch are "The Bachelor Season 405", "Generic Cooking Competition 7", and "Real Housewives of Bumfuck City".

I guess I'll have to watch it

I agree with most others in here, they ran roughshod over major character traits and plot points for no discernable reason. Wasted an episode of the first season on some random Warder.

That said, the biggest crime was the 8 or 9 out of 10 emotion and yelling in basically every scene. Wheel of Time can definitely drag on, so maybe they were trying to spice things up? Idk, it was weird.

At least this Rand fucks, though.

If you want the loyal fans to watch it, stop fucking it up! Keep the source material, and let your cooky ass writers write their own shit.

Perrin having and killing his wife?

A total cut of Gaul?

Aviendha and Elayne for... some reason?

Perrin straight up actually killing geofram bornehald? Which is a WHOLE plot point by the way.

Moraine killing the shit out of seanchan at falme definitely breaking the 3 oaths?

It goes on and on. So much questionable decision making.

Glad they finally put a nail on that one. You got to stop funding projects made by people who don't even like the source material.

I hated it from the first episode.

They had amazing material to work with, all they had to do was adapt it to TV.

A group of amateurs made an awesome Wheel Of Time episode with a budget of about $5 and an afternoon of shooting. Amazon should have just given them the money to do it.

I’m surprised it lasted 3 seasons to be honest. I hated it.

The fate of most shows nowadays. Greedy companies don’t give a shit about telling a good story or giving it a proper ending.

All they care about is number go up.

Stop giving them your money and attention.

I could never get past Loial not having expressive ears. Like 90% of Ogier emotion is described by the positioning or movement of their long ass ears

Great job!!

Now do it for Rings of Power.

This is why you wait to see if the series is going to get an ending before starting it.
