        Sanderson was doing his best to wash his hands of it when it was released. He publicly stated that his opinion was ignored, and that he won’t do any TV or movies unless he’s given more control. Imagine the hubris required to ignore the best living modern fantasy writer, a writer who actually worked with Jordan on the series, and wrote the last 2.5 books, and instead rewrite the script to just do your own thing. Truly mind boggling.

          Yeah I don’t know if their idea was to court people who haven’t read the books, but this just leads to alienation of book readers and they failed to create a good show to begin with.
