The Shannara Chronicles
(2016–2017)
*Spoilers* Why? Because this spoiled all of it.
23 July 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I don't even know where to begin.
I've read every single book in this series at least 3-4 times. I love it, Brooks writes some crap sometimes, and his books can sometimes be redundant, like why're they elves so dumb? Mass destruction everywhere and they choose to every hundred or so years forget all of their magic, and chalk up world destruction stories as wives tales, but this isn't about Brooks writing it's about him selling out. Dude you're like 60 why the hell would you sellout and put this crap on TV? Why, why, why? Let's start the list of garbage I can't take in order of what I can't handle the most. The list could go on for awhile, and while I may sound like a fan boy, remember that I do know it was never going to be the books, but seriously now, some of this show is unforgivable.
************SPOILERS***********
1. EVERY SINGLE BOOK a Druid uses their most powerful abilities to combat evil, and in every book there is one mainstay that all the Druids have access to as their most powerful weapon, other than knowledge. So I ask you Brooks you sellout, where is gods name was Allanons Druid Fire? Are you kidding me? Every book he uses it to fight or shield himself and instead of Druid fire you give me a transformers sword? WTF man? Druid Fire is used in literally every fight in every book by almost every Druid and you don't press to have a little blue fire CGI flying off Allanons fingertips? Unforgivable, I kept telling myself oh they're saving it for the final fight, instead Allanon gets punked by an Orc with a peircing fetish.
2. The REAPER becomes some mechanical fighter like he was ripped from some terrible Uwe Boll D&D movie? Serious? It's the Grim Reaper you sellout, and he dies falling into a river when two elves and a human make the fall no problem? Where was Wil's huge showdown at the Bloodfire with the Grim Reaper? Seriously way to sellout, I can't say that enough, you're like 60 and you want your lasting legacy to be you letting some 20 something producer who has never read your books change GIAGANTIC characters in your books for TV? Not to mention the new demon just looked like crap. Could have been epic.
3. Paranora is a pile of rocks? Sure I've always described it, and mapped it out for my fans as a huge ancient castle with incredible powers and hidden vaults and rooms, but sure go ahead and make it a worthless pile of rocks in central Oregon. Like the Druid keep is a cave at Smith Rock and they hibernate there like bears. Seriously man were you even in the story boarding room when they listed that as the ancient Druid home? Sellout.
4. Hey here's a plan let's just make up new characters FOR NO REASON. Bandon? Bandon? Serious man what the hell. These books are filled, literally filled with characters and you let them introduce a brooding Druid wannabe for what? For what? Finish this story and move on to wishsong, was a simple and easy plan to follow, but sure I'll introduce Bandon and is idiotic Elven love interest, do you trust me? Sure you just tried to strangle me to death but why the hell not, and don't say knock him off of the guard that he's beating to death with a chain, just stand there watching like a moron, see previous statement that the elves are the dumbest race in the four lands.
5. Where the hell are my dwarfs and Rock Trolls? Let's add garbage characters, but cut out badass ones like Stee Jans. Freaking sellout.
6. How do they ride a horse from San Francisco to basically Portland Oregon in a day? For that matter when they're riding back you know NORTH the ocean would have been on their left not their right like they were riding to Mexico.
7. I liked the guy that played Allanon, but he's OVER 7 feet tall! You've said it EVERYTINE he was introduced. He's also not cut like a Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Let's just not cast ANYONE appropriate for their rolls, how about that.
8. How about the fact that Allanon cannot teleport without error back to his cave when he's mortally wounded? This isn't a video game, he does not get to go back to a previous save point. Sellout.
I'm done for now. I refuse to watch this garbage again if it's renewed and Terry Brooks and Terry Goodkind should both be ashamed of letting their work turn into garbage.
Druid Fire............ Next up the wishsong is telepathic powers bestowed by alien and leading the charge of the next band of Druids not Walker Boh but Giorgio A. Tsoukalos.
