Dear Daniel, I was looking for something to watch. I was excited to try this. But then I watched it all in one sitting, and my problem now is I still have nothing to watch. Dammit! (though I don't have a clone to send to NZ atm)

Adaline became my favorite character after words of Radiance and my love for him has grown with each book

Ya, I need to read WOT again. I'm forgetting too much. Still, I have no desire to watch the show.

Glad you took the time to check this out and do a constructive review on it. The trailer has me pretty hyped and I hope the quality continues to improve.

All I know is...if I ever experience The Wheel of Time, it will never be via this rather clearly failed adaptation.

Flicker flicker flicker flicker flicker.

I wonder if Elayne putting the tiara on is her going thru her Accepted testing?

If it’s weak don’t read it. Simple fix.

I feel the growing pains for this show are starting to result this show finding its footing. I'm not even a big fan of the books but the shows been at least entertaining

12:39 the Aiel look sort of "video game" Badass but whenever i see their pants i cringe because its like the sort of tight pants i thought would be so cool as a kid and then you wear tight pants and realize they are absolutely horrible for moving around.

Oh no… you think Ellen is right…. Not gonna make it 😞

Awesome to see Daniel nerding out in an even extra enthusiastic way

Great reaction Daniel. If you want to know what's going on in the teaser trailer I broke it down very thoroughly!

Hello Daniel 👋🏾 when will we get to see the last part of this fringe recap ? It’s been so long since this video, we’re hungry for more 🙏🏾 Please make it happen when you have some time.

The show is far from perfect, but I personally think many people overlook just how much they're trying to adapt the full story, and not just the first book or two. I agree with the sentiment from most of the comments: this story needs more time. More episodes, longer episodes. But that's not exactly realistic so I try to remain positive about what we do get. Very much looking forward to S3!

I never watched anything since people said season 1 was so bad. Based on this... should i?

You looking at the rocks killed me

YES. Been waiting on you to review this beautiful show

Hope you guys watch the finale again with Sanderson, that was a fun episode to watch.

They should've just adapted the books. Find a way to distill all the wonderful little moments as best you can and then hit the high notes. This show is an abomination to Jordan's memory.

More 👏🏻 episodes 👏🏻 per 👏🏻 season 👏🏻

I'm still mad they tried to age up the characters. I know the actors look older than normal, but I don't know of a single franchise where aging up characters worked.

The hair is probably from one of the visions. That would mean that what he's wearing would be AOL cadin'sor.

I am going to watch Season 3 because I like the Wheel of Time books but I was disappointed by Season 1 and Season 2 was not great either. I seriously do not understand why they release series like this. You have the material, summarise it, HAVE GOOD WRITERS and review it until you have a good product.

The trailer's fantastical visuals convey an emotional tone that establishes a deeper story. While my faith is uplifted, trusting Amazon remains challenging.

I might be wrong, but didn't he say in his inner monologue in the books that he probably would have married Layla if they hadn't left. So if they aged the characters up as if they'd just been there another 2 years, it makes sense that he'd be married. In the same way Rand and Egwene got a lot more intimate than they were in the books over the Extra time. In the same way Mat grew out of pranks and started being more of a guardian for his sisters.

I just finished Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang. I would love to hear your take on the book.

Was that NOT Elaida and Alviarin? I didn't think it was Liandrin or Lanfear... I could be wrong tho.

The WoT adaptation as a whole went woke (shocker) and departed from the book, even in the basic character descriptions. From the beginning it’s dog 💩!

This season seems to be make or break for both me personally with the show and the show itself continuing. There's a ton of stuff that if they don't get it right it'll be massively disappointing from a fan perspective, and then if it doesn't perform to Amazon's expectations, the show is probably over. Even if it does keep going, a season every 2 years is rough, and if it did manage to make it all the way to 8 seasons at that pace we're going to end with a mid-30s Rand and Emond's Fielders which is just going to feel weird. Granted this is an issue with modern TV production in general, not just WoT. 3 Years for season 2 of Arcane, 2 years for each season of HotD, RoP, TLoU, etc. I guess as long as we don't end up going Venture Brothers pace that's something.

Non-book fans mostly reacted quite positively to S2 finale i feel. It's the highest rated episode from both seasons. But yeah, i agree that book fans didn't like it that much

Maybe we will get Elayne’s accepted test? (Because of the crown?)

Dan Wells made a comment on Intentionally Blank in the lead up to Rings of Power that he decided to go onto the show as 'fanfiction in a world I love' instead of even an attempt at canon. I have found that mindset seriously helpful for all the "adaptations" recently. That was you can enjoy it or not, but it takes a lot of the pressure off when changes are made.

I’m currently on A Memory of Light. It’s my first time reading the books and I want to give the series a reread after I finish. It’s definitely has become one of my top 3 favorite stories that I have read. Also Rand is such a amazingly written character.

Please watch and talk about the dragon prince, I feel like this show needs more attention

Adolin has been building for a while, but this book absolutely let him struggle, think for himself, cope with his position in the world, and eventually shine. My absolute favorite POV in WaT.

Haha Perrins afro just aint doin it for me hahahaha. Looks like a fun season, and thats coming from me, one of the fanatic haters of this "What if?" version of the WoT on screen

Do you know how you fix the show? You cancel it, then wait a few years, and then you do it over the correct way 🤷‍♂️

It really feels like the writers hadn't finished the full book when they started and are just now finding out the stuff they thought they didn't need is important

I finished the first three books of Wheel of Time and I am not feeling it. It is okay, but I am not blown away. I really want to like it, but I don’t see why it gets so much love. Is it worth continuing, or is this just not the books series for me?

I'm worried that orb is really a statue orb and I don't think Moiraine should have it.

I just.. can't. I didn't watch season 2 and I will not be watching season 3. It hurts my heart too much.

Keep bringing me the Dune epic. All of it.

I will be honest, I did not like this show and wanted to stay away from it, but Lanfear is doing her thing and attracting me back ... Lanfear is doing her job well

More Mat, show. More Mat. Give me that and I'll stick with you.

Modern fantasy show writing bingo card: "The world is changing" "I have seen x amount of futures" "War is coming" "We will fall if we don't band together" "The forces of evil" "Hope"

Solid God-Emperor sound effects <3

i have not read the books yet, -so my biggest grasps of the first two seasons:1) the wrap up of the season finale one and two 2) the melodrama with lan and moraine in season

The books are just too close to my heart for the entire thing not to be a trainwreck. I got angrier and angrier during S1 and after the 1st episode of S2, I noped hard. I've followed a couple of creators who reviewed all the S2 episodes, and I was happy I stopped. The saddest thing of all, is that the terrible people who made that pilot years ago, airing it at two in the morning, just to keep the rights, was more faithful to the books. It's messed up.

I am willing to trade this entire trailer for a photo of a long rock painted red.
