Yeah the books have drama and brooding, but they almost make fun of the characters who are brooding, and it’s just a lot more fun.Broody and dramatic do describe a large swathe of the Wheel of Time, but theybget the mix dead wrong: very little humor in the show, and they never even mention the Flame & the Void, IIRC.
Mat makes me so sad. Like, why make his parents garbage people? Why make him a scumbag with little sense of fun? Why should I care how dark he gets when he starts out like that, rather than as the vaguely bored rascal he is in the books?
Yeah that’s all I could figure for any of the changes, other than a weird “American audiences don’t know what a harp is! Give the guy a guitar!” nonsense.I like the show for what it is. My peeve is unnecessary changes like the one I mentioned. As you said it served nothing aside from adding sexiness and drama ASAP.
