I’m excited 👏🏻
Very excited for this season.
Damn, the clip with Rand at the end in front of the Seanchan…
Great non-canon line at the end from Siuan - “You are the water that turns the Wheel itself.”
I wish we got to see more of new Mat in the trailer but I guess I can wait. What we got were snippets of some epic moments: the darkfriend social, Rand meeting with Siuan, Nynaeve’s Accepted test, Rand v Turak, Heroes of the Horn (I think I see them on horseback @1:22 or so, may be a stretch, lol), and Aviendha (and Perrin!) in action v Whitecloaks.
I was already looking forward to the next season, especially sharing it with my show-only fan wife who loved season 1, and now we are both completely hyped for this second, atmospherically more ominous (I predict), season.
Question: who is the little girl holding ‘the Dark One’s’ hand at the darkfriend social?
I have no idea and am wondering if anyone else does. Unraveling the Pattern points the girl out in his trailer breakdown on his youtube channel. It’s really hard to see in the original trailer without brightening the shot a bit.
No theories on that one.
Fuck this show. WoT should have been the easiest conversion to TV possible with all the detail Robert Jordan put into it. Instead, we got this abomination.
I fundamentally disagree. These books translated 1:1 for film would make some of the worst movies ever. The plot just doesn’t work for the new medium, they would DRAG and get very repetitive, especially the first three books.
HAVE you listened to any of Sanderson talking about his mistborn adaptation? He has been working on scripts for that for a while, and he said very early in that it became apparent very quickly that large changes needed to be made to characters and the story in order to make it work on screen at all.
That’s true if ALL adaptations if books to film. You can’t just do things 100% the same way.
Sure, adaption, not wholesale removal of key elements of the plot and replacement with stupid bullshit because the showrunner wants to put his own spin on it.
