Amazon made a Wheel of Time series. I read the first few books a very long time ago but I don't remember much but the trailer looks nothing like how I rememberer it or how I see it. It looks far too fantasy like movie with the outfits all looking ludicrous and far too many brown people. If somebody never read the book then they might not be bothered by this as they are looking at the TV show as stand-alone media but to somebody who has then I would feel they would be quite distressed by this as it is so different to what it should be and what they felt it was. It reminds me of how I felt about the Saxon Stories when they were made into a TV series, I really liked the books but I didn't even watch the show because it just looked so different to what I saw it as being. I think that Lord of the Rings was probably the only good book adaptation made but I never read the books so maybe I am wrong and the people that did read them all hate the movies.
I think it's better that these books never get made into movies in the first place, just create your own stories for TV.
