Based on Robert Jordan&#8217;s best-selling literary fantasy saga of the same name, the show follows Moiraine (Rosalind Pike), a witch who leads a group of young people on a quest to defeat the Dark One. It&#8217;s a great series that boasts all of the action and adventure an epic fantasy show should have, so it&#8217;s understandable why so many folks are ticked off about it being no more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Discussing the matter on X (formerly known as Twitter), several fans criticized Prime Video&#8217;s short-sighted decision to stop spinning &#8220;The Wheel of Time.&#8221; What&#8217;s more, some viewers, including one who goes by the name <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Mrbeh237\/status\/1976035935814029448\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:@Mrbeh237;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">@Mrbeh237<\/a>, still get emotional at the thought of no more future episodes.

For comparison&#8217;s sake, the first season of the Robert Jordan adaptation cost around $80 million, while &#8220;The Rings of Power&#8221; came in at a whopping $465 million. There is no reason why both series can&#8217;t co-exist alongside each other, but &#8220;The Wheel of Time&#8221; also offers more value in regard to long-term storytelling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The Rings of Power&#8221; has been criticized by some for lacking substance and taking so many creative liberties with J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s source material, as the story&#8217;s time period isn&#8217;t covered in great detail in his written works. &#8220;The Wheel of Time&#8221; takes some creative liberties of its own, sure, but with 14 novels to turn to for inspiration, there is more than enough story to mine from \u2014 enough to fill a multi-season fantasy saga without running out of steam.
