Netflix Has Created a Self-Fulfilling Cancelation Loop with Its New Shows

If you haven't read the source material it's a fine show. Yes, just like all other shows nowadays diversity is the most important feature, but once you look past that it's not bad. Certainly better than rings of power in my opinion.

Unfortunately 49% of America are closet racists and can’t look past black people on tv. It’s really quite mind boggling. I consider myself an extreme nerd and yet I don’t have knee jerk reactions when I see a brown elf. I can only point to racism, possibly subconscious for most of the whiners.

I don’t mind diversity in my work, I’m a non-white person in America myself, but the decision to have everyone from the Two Rivers be different races (other than Rand) is just silly and destroys worldbuilding.

Not to mention the changed plot beats that I won’t spoil that rob Rand of his big moments and give them to all the female characters, when they already all have major plot moments in EoTW!
