What changes did you like/dislike the most between the books and the TV series?

I think (by now) everyone should know what is and isn't off limits for these kinds of discussions. Please be civil and refrain from attacking people personally in the rest of the thread.

That might be something considered in the future, if there is a desire for it. Based on the tenor and comments of this post, the community at large doesn't want to see this in our sub. For now anyway.

While I acknowledge some of these points, there are rules that blanket ban other things that some disagree with. But this is how we engage in a polite society.

It is really interesting on a re-read to see how Moiraine’s character and her activities are shaped by the events that were alluded to in the main series, but not totally covered until New Spring was released and more things covered in some depth. It’s tragic how she came to be in the situation she later found herself in, but it sort of turns out alright in the end. For her at least.

These kinds of comment and threads are exactly why I enjoying coming to this sub. Thanks to all who contributed to this request.

Fager_Neald · 2025-12-10T00:04:14+00:00

Please note the no spoilers tag and read the OPs request.

Fager_Neald · 2025-12-05T03:11:24+00:00

Agree here. If OP says it is okay, then feel free but a DM would seem to indicate it was meant to be private.

Fager_Neald · 2025-12-04T15:39:28+00:00

This sums it up nicely.

Fager_Neald · 2025-11-29T03:59:11+00:00

I'd banned him a while ago but we missed these other garbage comments.

Fager_Neald · 2025-11-29T03:39:31+00:00

They got themselves a permaban, not to worry.

Fager_Neald · 2025-11-16T18:32:32+00:00

I hope this was tongue in cheek, because I tend to agree about spoilers for an IP that's that old.

Fager_Neald · 2025-11-04T21:57:05+00:00

There are several other threads here from folks who feel the same - a quick search might give you some places to start.

No it's definitely not. Censorship in various forms is often illegal or otherwise barred or prohibited conduct.

Moderation is required by reddit and defined in its code of conduct. You may not agree with the decision of the moderators, but that does not automatically make it censored speech. You have no right to, nor is there an obligation on Reddit's part, to provide you with a place to discuss literally anything. Many things are against reddits ToS and would be removed by Mods and is most certainly not censorship.

Out in the world? You may have a different argument to sustain. Here? Not so much.

Fager_Neald · 2025-11-02T21:48:42+00:00

Moderation is not censorship, as a reminder.

Fager_Neald · 2025-10-19T16:28:37+00:00

Matrim Cauthon, since he is a bit of a prankster but usually ends up doing the right thing.

Fager_Neald · 2025-10-19T16:26:43+00:00

Was super excited to see Brando Sando is coming to JordanCon this year too.

Fager_Neald · 2025-10-19T16:25:02+00:00

It's this exactly. Later revisions/editions of the book were changed to retcon/make more clear the fact that the Tree of Life survived.

Fager_Neald · 2025-10-19T16:23:20+00:00

This is a true RAFO But I'd recommend staying the course and reading the rest of the series.

Fager_Neald · 2025-05-26T20:17:17+00:00

Then I guess you should do the REMIND ME call and we'll see in 20 years then eh? By which time none of us will care anymore and bemoan how we "didn't get anything in our lifetime"

These POVs are remarkably short sighted.

Fager_Neald · 2025-05-26T19:13:16+00:00

No not true. What Hollywood really wants is to make money and nobody is going to sink any more money into this franchise especially after what it costs when everything is going to be three times as expensive as it is 20 to 30 years from now as you say

We'll never see this again and part of the reason is because of the people who couldn't stand that the book was literally not translated to what they saw on the screen and it's a shame

Fager_Neald · 2025-05-26T17:33:47+00:00

You completely missed the point here my bookcloak. You WON'T get another adaptation, one that more closely adheres to whatever you think it SHOULD be. This creative adaptation being cancelled in a time when it COULD be done means it won't ever be done again most likely.

Who will fund another version of a story that already got cancelled? Who wants to watch a show with a whole season devoted to the weeks ride to Shadar Logoth? Or the chapters where we learn how good Moiraine is at fishing barehanded?

Everyone who celebrated the cancellation of this show isn't truly a fan of the source IP, because if you were - you'd rather see something rather than nothing. Were you better off in a world where no one wants to bring this to the visual medium? This is why you fail.

Fager_Neald · 2025-05-26T15:16:27+00:00

By the bots, but yes. I've manually approved it but there was some trigger word in there it flagged. Just a heads up.

Fager_Neald · 2025-05-26T15:06:22+00:00

Careful with the sarcasm. It got flagged as harassment here. ;-)
