Wheel of Time Season 2: Utterly Abandoning Rand al'Thor, the Books

Your man Salty (has microphone issues) takes on the latest teaser drop for WHEEL OF TIME Season 2, this one featuring what is supposedly RAND AL'THOR and LOGAIN ABLAR talking about doing EXACTLY what we call feared.

At what point does a show, even something so clearly not an adaptation, divorce itself fully from what the author wrote? At what point do the characters, the story arcs, the locations, the morals/lessons become so far removed and/or mutilated that whatever is presented becomes it's own subpar bastardized knock-off?
