It would have to be insanely long if it were to adapt the entire thing even with those cuts so then you have a problem that at season 10 you don’t get any new viewers because nobody can jump in without 9 books worth of context.
The only way to adapt it is as a Latin American telenovela. You get low budget and captivated audience of older women who’ll watch it out of habit. Rand al’Thor wouldn’t be a dorky redhead but a hot Latino lover and that’s not the only advantage here.
