I have good news and bad news: I agree with all of this and I too think it will only get better, but much of season 2 was filmed with covid restrictions.

It's not his work per-se, he just finished it. He's a WOT expert obviously, but this is not his work (yet).
They're actually specifically not in a medieval fantasy setting. That doesn't mean that their clothes should be pristine, but most people seem to simply have a problem with this not being LOTR style.
Honestly I think (or hope) that most "diehards" are in this category. Normal people aren't vocal on reddit/twitter/rotten tomatoes/imdb etc.
With that said, season 1 had some major issues, many of which can be attributed to covid restrictions and Mat being cut (well, the actor leaving) but not all. I personally hope that they find their groove for season 3 onwards.
I enjoyed season 1, I will most likely enjoy season 2.
There hasn't been much actual discussion because you have to wade through endless posts of neckbeard spam.
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.
I was really hoping they'd make crackling energy viable. Not surprised this shitshow of a patch made it worse.
First thing I thought, I was honestly confused for a second there.
Well, at higher levels, fire sorc is in a bad place.
Yeah of course, just meant that someone didn't use it :)
I love sync but...who doesn't use darkmode? That just burned my retinas.
I also really disliked the finale. Covid restrictions did affect it a lot apparently, but it was bad. As a book reader I was surprised at how vague they made everything. It feels like a lot of sudden weirdness wasn't explained. I think season 2 will clear some of that up at least.
