The Big Picture Stories adapted for screens are constantly compared to their written counterparts, usually in a less-than-flattering way. But some manage to improve on what came before, at least partially, and that is the case for Prime Video's The Wheel of Time, particularly regarding the character of al'Lan Mandragoran . The fantasy show contains many differences from Robert Jordan's series of novels. While some work, other changes are not successful.
Against Lan's wishes, Moiraine sends him away, forcing the Warder on a new path. While traveling with Alanna , Lan devises his own plan to help Moiraine even though she's sent him away. He finds Siuan Sanche , the Amyrlin Seat, Moiraine's lover, and old ally, and shares information with her that Moiraine withheld. This act is in direct defiance of Moiraine, which is rare for Lan, yet it works because it centers on his often-overlooked goal of protecting the Aes Sedai.
Lan's freedom in Season 2 gives him a chance to plan for himself and recruit Alanna and her Warders, Ihvon and Maksim , to their cause, but more than that, it provides an emotional struggle as he gets to know himself better outside his relationship with Moiraine. It shows his character growth as he moves from hurt at Moiraine's rejection to forgiving her words and moving past them.
