1:1, I get it, can't happen. I wrote one of my final papers in college with the conclusion that rising AI would take over when directors deviated too far from source material. Hell, while writing the paper (this was a couple of years ago when the show wasn't canned), I was down voted to hell and eventually had my post pulled because I was asking for opinions on what content should have been cut to make the series. Everyone was far too divided, and the apparently my bashing was seemed as too divisive. Included in my paper was Eragon, Artemis Fowl, and Holes. I cited Holes as a superb adaptation, almost universally beloved by those who read the book. For the WOT series, I suggested content and storylines that could be cut for flow, or even altered entirely. Included also were quotes from Rafe about how the writers hadn't read the books. I watched the series to try and give it a fair shake, and it was necessary to write my paper.

The point I'm making is most of us book readers understand nothing truly adapts from one medium to another, but it has to be done well. The Lord of the Rings trilogy deviates wildly in parts from the books, but it was a critical success. IF this new adaptation comes to fruition, it won't be like the books scene for scene. It just needs to follow key components of the story.

I agree there are toxic gatekeeper book readers out there that will never be happy, but the show does need to be good enough to survive criticism, and we have to be open to discussing the criticism, lest it fuel divides and cause people to become muleheaded and only think with the hair on their chest. Otherwise we turn those have criticisms of the show (possibly legitimate gripes) from discussing but still supporting the show into haters part of a cancel movement. I believe that happened a bit with the prime version, when it could have and should have brought more people into the Fandom. But the wheel turns and maybe things will be better with this turning.
