The rest of my worries subsided when I began to see images. There's also the concept of "pillow friends", which I implore you to Google on your own. You don't need to pretend that this was always a place where women are stronger than men and that the men who even attempt to use the One Power are caged and lobotomized that's already the in-universe consequence of the Dark One's tainting of "saidin" (the "male half" of the True Source, which now turns its "channelers" insane). Was this so hard, guys? We finally have a situation where the social studies majors AND the metathesiophobic nerds get to be happy! You don't need to change the characters' appearance for the mere sake of "diversity" the world of the novels is already a varied realm, from the olive-complexion inhabitants of The Two Rivers, sans the likes of ginger Rand Al'Thor, to the Japan-inspired kingdom of Sheinar. Though I was extremely worried the Amazon adaptation of the Wheel of Time series - now streaming in Ultra HD - would prove far too rushed to do the size and scope of its world justice, it's about time we got a reimagining of something where very little needs to be changed to appease modish attitudes and political narratives.
