oh I'd also read that people were irritated that Mat didn't find the dagger in a giant treasure room with Mordeth there. Mordeth seems like something that could be totally cut out since he merges with Fain later anyway. The shadow of Mordeth or the blackness having woken Mat and lured him away made a lot of sense to me. That he finds the box with the dagger amid a pile of junk just seems like logistics. A huge room full of treasure would either be really bad CGI or a ton of props to be made, which would be a lot of time, effort and money that could be used elsewhere. He got the dagger. That's the important part. Only book readers care about what the room looked like when he got the dagger. lol
