There's a lot of aspects to like. The fact that most of the women were more or less identical personalities and severe bloat in the middle books aside, he created a lot of really good/interesting characters. His world's magic system was different and the backstory was cool.
Total woke trash. I looked through the WoT reddit way back with the casting for the main Two Rivers characters were released, so much hand waving away the obvious diversity hires for Egwene / Nyn / Perrin by saying all the Two Rivers folk would be dark skinned. Some of the other character casting seems pretty good, like Alanna...she fits the book description pretty well. Kinda surprised Eamon Valda is a black guy considering he rapes Morgase, lol.
Yep, seems like every single person is either black or Asian.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Usually the one that casts disintegration.

you keep garbage reacting to everyone saying this but the most recent example is GoT; those two followed GRRM's story to a T and it was the most successful fantasy show in television history....until they ran out of runway. They proved that no matter how faithful a television show team wants to be that there is a reason they are in TV and not writing sprawling fantasy epics; because they cannot do it. Shit, even Jordan wasn't that great at it since his books dragged immensely in the middle. Do you really think that this crew is going to fix his issues? Not fucking likely.
I think you read too much into my reactions. I have posted previously (if I recall) that I was not optimistic about the WoT series.
There is some serious drag in the middle, and some infuriating repetitiveness and stupidity from the female characters. The middle books just have a ton of unnecessary politics, extra plot lines, etc that just seemed to be lengthening things for the sake of lengthening it. Other than that it has fantastic world building, crazy magic system, good character building and growth.
