See AllFantasy Shows Are Canceled All The Time, So Watch These 7 That Had Proper Endings
GoT had AN ending, but it's so bad that unless someone is a hardcore fan of the books or epic gritty fantasy it could make them decide not to even start the show. Haven't seen most of the others on this list but His Dark Materials is AMAZING. Thank goodness BBC was the main company behind it, because I love how they decided to be true to the book material while filling in what we didn't know certain characters were doing. That's what happens when an author is deeply involved in the adaptation--you get a great adaptation. Those studios who want to adapt any other epic fantasy series, especially when the author is dead, 100% need to adapt the material without changing anything that isn't absolutely necessary to bring it to a visual medium. That was what Amazon failed to do with a beloved IP; they believed they could write better than Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson and that their own political/social beliefs were more important than bringing to life characters that are beloved as is.
The Wheel Of Time Season 4 Gets Definitive Update After Prime Video Cancellation
I was overjoyed when I read that it was cancelled, and I am glad no one is shopping it around to other companies. It needs to STAY dead.
Now, hopefully, a company with an amazing animation group--whether it leans toward the Japanese animation style or toward the American comic book TV series style--will pick it up and animate the characters exactly as described in the books. I think that would be the easiest way to get the full plot of the books and all of the characters in there, along with the ageless look the Aes Sedai are supposed to have, plus there could be some really cool animation for the different weaves of the Power. Then they could get great voice actors who fit those characters and who won't age out from being able to play those characters since the voice actors wouldn't be seen in animation. Plus regular 2D animation would be cheaper than rendering 3D animation required by live action.
Wheel Of Time Just Made One Of The Books' Saddest Scenes Even More Heartbreaking
Yup, definitely agree with Matthew on this one. That whole scene of her apparently bringing Nynaeve back from the dead in season 1 was the epitome of stupid. If they had to show someone being brought back from the BRINK of death--what the show had was of someone 100% dead, not almost dead--then Nynaeve Healing Egwene would have made more sense. As is, that moment in the show got the biggest eye role and facepalm/headdesk of everything from that season from me. There were a lot of other stupid things, but none of them could hold a candle to the stupidity of those women to attempt to destroy the Trollocs with their crappy abilities (since most of them were women who had very little ability/potential to use the Power while Egwene and Nynaeve, though they the potential for strength in the Power had no abilities yet/were very untrained).
I Finally Started Watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, And My One Critique Isn't What You'd Expect
Dude, these brothers don't know if they are orphans or not because their mother is dead and they have absolutely no idea whether their father is still alive or not. Why do they need constant conflict between the two of them when they have shared trauma? As others here have said, there is some conflict a bit later on, but thankfully it gets resolved. There is enough OUTER conflict between the brothers and the government/powers-that-be, their environment, etc, they don't need conflict between the two of them as well--that would have made the later parts of the series too complicated. Honestly, I feel like the conflict that does happen between them really shouldn't have even been a thing, but the manga author had it in there, so that's why it's also in the anime 🤷🏻♀.

100% agree that no one should be writing a review of a 64 episode anime after watching only 3 episodes. Also agree with your other points too.
Wheel Of Time Is Finally Teasing Egwene's Special Ability From The Books
Yes sister! You are 100% right! As soon as I read that sentence about the "other four ta'veren" I was immediately like "only the three dudes are ta'veren!!!!" I will always love the books. I would love for the show to be cancelled already.
