I'm looking forward to the day when we can just feed books to a DL network and have it spit out a rendered movie.

I'd love to train it on the LotR movies and spit out a book-accurate rendition of the story with those graphics.

I’m not sure Jordan’s books can be ruined, if anything I’d hope a TV series can correct a lot of his fatal flaws like truly awful writing of female characters. Sanderson tried to fix some of that after Jordan’s death, but when did he come in, book 12 or so?

Honestly, the only books that can be ruined from the Wheel of Time are Sanderson's. I've started with the translations, which are the worst, and told myself that it can't be worst than Shanarra, so i ordered the english books (it was roughly ten years ago), and discovered that yes, it was indeed worst than Shanarra. I'd say even those 80's fantasy books that are obviously loosely based on a dnd campaign are better.
