I'm a bit more tolerant of non-canon characters in fic, because, well, I write them too.
I suppose part of my problem with the Wheel of Time series is that streaming shows are only like 6 - 8 episodes long and sometimes only 25 minutes an episode (subtracting credits), so it feels like there's limited real estate. And you really want to focus on the things that really resonate with the source text. Sacrificing those things to add non-canon scenes and characters annoys me.
Ummm. Well... I should say that it can annoy me, since I think that Netflix's Bridgerton series does that deftly and well.
I am nothing if not a study in contradictions. ^_^
