        Part of it is they changed aspects that messed with how the magic system is viewed by the characters which sorta makes the later surprise nonsensical. They really had a hard time with the reincarnation aspect with the dragon referring to himself as the dragon reborn which can’t happen until after he is reborn. They skipped over a bunch of stuff like the group going through Caemlyn and then spent a bunch of time on character interactions that never happened. It went so quickly and yet so slowly at the same time due to their weird choices. Not sure about zombified. Can’t say jordans characters are the most complex I have encountered.

          I don’t remember anyone charismatic except rosamund pike’s character, but I figured this was the series’s doing.

          If the fantasy systems are more of the appeal, which I get, that did come off as confusing too. It sounds like they sacrificed that to try and force more character interaction from what you’ve said, which… didn’t work.
