There is a number of things in the books that are cool or important but completely unfilmable.
1. Power usage having no visual effects. I’m sure two people staring intently at each other would be really fun to watch.
2. Men being able to sense women channeling by feeling pinpricks.
3. Warders cloaks.
4. Perrins entire evolution of a character as it comes mostly through internal character monologues.
5. Lots of the quirks of the one power or metaphysics of the universe
Not to mention the sheer number of characters, plots, locations and it’s scale make it impossible to show as written. As an anime maybe but live not really.
To mei judge it on does it follow the spirit of the novels and do the characters feel similar. And does it have enough of the iconic moments that I want? So far it’s a yes for me.
