I lost all interest early on in season 1 but watched through the train wreck out of morbid curiosity. I have no interest in watching further.
As a fan of the books, flaws and all, the show writers have ignored or flat out contradicted key plot elements and missed fundamental world building beats.
Lan having a big fit crying and screaming at a funeral is such a stark contrast to his novel character that it cannot be reconciled.
This is like making Aragorn a misogynist, or having him bully the hobbits for being so short. Just a complete backflip.
Afaik that Lan bit was inspired by something from some asian culture(s). And your analogies are really terrible. I also didn't like that version of Lan, but you come across as someone who tries to dislike it.
So not inspired or informed by the character and his culture from the novels.
You come across as someone who brown noses pathetic hack writers.
