Wizard's First Rule

I know its late to the extreme to say this but I was sooooooo disappointed when the Wizard's First Rule was adapted to a T.V series by Disney.(Legend of The Seeker). They butchered the hell out of the book. I don't know ,but man, its a fail. I was expecting more from Terry Goodkind. I never imagine him to be THIS fucking sell out. The book is the best thing that happened to fiction since Tolkien's masterpiece.They deleted the very essence of the book just to be "child-friendly"  or wholesome when its an R-rated (imho as a reader) in the first place. Now don't get me wrong and think I'm just a stupid fan making a scene. I watched the first 2 episodes of the first season and I've done this with bright eyes full of anticipation,broad smile and tons of popcorn at hand.You get the picture? I was EXCITED! I even shout it all out for my friends to watch the damn thing days before the pilot airing in Manila. I don't wanna drill down the details of the butchering since just recalling them brings a lump in my throat.So let me just rant the freaking obvious....Richard Cypher, the main protagonist in the book was always describe as a big, beefy, sinewy, XL oaf and it makes sense cause he's supposed to look deadly as a skilled sword fighter and a woods guide. The celebrity they chose to play his part is Craig Horner, and he's extremely baby-looking as oppose to the Richard in the book and the book's coverart.Bridget Reagan, the pretty who played Kahlan Amnell (main female protagonist and love interest) is even taller than him.

LOL right? I know some non-readers would think me immature and shallow and all that jazz but, man, Richard's big size holds a big sway to the story.A tiny factor like that deleted, you can just imagine the gory editing that followed.True enough, they didn't disappoint.Kahlan Amnell ventured into Westland (Richard's hometown) to find the Seeker who was prophesied to defeat Darken Rahl (main antagonist). On the TV series, Kahlan brought with her The Book of Counted Shadows and by context, the only person who can read and understand it is the rightful Seeker. (IKR, like Cinderella's shoe tested by lots of girls to see if it fits.It was so unique I can cry.haha!).Richard was able to read it and so he got named Seeker.
Wizard's First Rule is not like that at all. On the book, Richard was named Seeker by a wizard (Zedd) who raised him, taught him and witnessed how smart, intelligent and gifted Richard was. A Seeker always hungers for Truth and Wisdom,always Seeking knowledge and justice. Richard exceptionally met all those qualities that's why he got named. Not because he can read.See the difference? I'm barfing of depression here.

Anyways, I'm gonna stop before I pass out of stress. The point is, money should not always be the basis of everything. Wizard's First Rule is a gem and will always be.I highly suggest for you to read it, you'll realize how sick some of your views in life are.Trust me.

I kinda don't like you, Mr. Terry Goodkind in a way for giving permission to change your novel just like that. I believed in every philosophy you shared on your books and you let it all go downhill with this blunt mistake.You're indie then you let mainstream Disney smother your ideas like that for profit. Nothing can be more disconsolating than that....:(
