I have thought about this a lot over a long period of time... ever since I saw how weak Rand looked, and yes I know working out and creatine can help, but that actor will never be like Rand in the books. You would need someone more meaty, like KJ Apa would make the perfect Rand, in the tv series Riverdale he starts off naïve much like Rand, and as the series goes on he gets ripped as **** honestly he is the perfect Rand, and I am forever devastated it was never meant to be.
Mat changing actors in season 2 + other actors, so many that just don't look the way I imagined, even little things like Moraine being tall now... or the whitecloaks simply not looking at all the way I pictured whitecloaks looking, I mean the whitecloaks are still an army, they should have armor!!! of shining white pearl in color. not monks robes...
I'm not frustrated or even angry, I understand Hollywood always does its own thing, but I just can't do this show. I hope that doesn't make me a bad wheel of time fan, but the series just needs to stay a certain way in my head... its so special to my growth in my teen years, etc... I just don't want to risk that imagination being scarred, and even during my re-read now... when I am reading I summon the images from the tv show I have seen and it completely ruins the flow and immersion for me... so in a way its already ruined it for me... I still am trying to overcome this... :/
edit: it's not even those issues all combined that makes me not want to watch it, it's mainly just I prefer my own imagination. I don't think there is anything wrong with that... but deep down I still feel like I am missing out cause I want to be a part of the community like the rest of you... and I just feel like this is the time to do it... but also... its ruining my re-read already so I know I should avoid all future images... I just don't know what to do.
