This is probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever done for the channel. What do you think of the green screen?

[@Mosydys]

Love the fashion. The mic definetely makes the shirt pop.

I cant read and I thought the title was "Drunk GREENE Screen test" and you were giving us a new replacement for Greene Daniel. But yeah the green screen is great.

[@stlouismarlon]

[@kirapatras3276]

I think in homage to this cover they should have Nicholas do a cameo

Just sitting here wondering if we’ll ever get to see what Pips “doing pullups” actually looks like.

[@turtleanton6539]

😂😂yup but cool looking guy and sword

[@gokbay3057]

He does look badass tho

[@jamesdewberry502]

I think drunk Daniel might be the best Daniel.

[@alexnieves]

If this video taught me anything, it's that whoever did the covers for WoT had no idea what was happening in the books.

[@georgeeast5502]

I just realized that Aviendha is on two of the original covers, The Fires of Heaven and The Gathering Storm, but Min and Elayne are on none. Checkmate, Elayne and Min fans.

[@jwcarlson]

"Welcome welcome welcome, I'm your disheveled, drunken goblin host Daniel Greene Screen."

[@MC-lk3ud]

[@colburn0004]

As an ebook new reader of the series. My favorite thing after finishing the books is going to good reads and looking at the old covers. They seem so hilariously inaccurate to what I picture that I just love them. The Fires of Heaven especially with Mat looking like Crocodile Dundee.

[@Arenuphis]

Now we just need him to do the other versions, and the split-book covers we swedes surely weren't the only ones to get

[@Spaced92]

Yeah most of the art I've seen of Mat (and Rand) seems along the lines of this cover and he looks pretty cringe in a dull, grounded kind of way. In the books he's heavily implied to have a dramatic fashion sense despite mocking Rand if you read between the lines and it gets damn obvious when he's talking about adding 'just a bit' of lace around the cuffs ... and maybe the collar. Yet Rand will just grab whatever, it's an unreliable narrator.

[@vincentcyr3719]

As someone that read them when the old covers were the only covers, they seemed hilariously inaccurate then, too

[@samuelleask1132]

Mat looks like a 40-year-old guy on the Fires of Heaven cover

[@evilemuempire9550]

I like to try to figure out who’s who before and after reading, ironically I tend to be more accurate before

[@pratyushbzr]

Also not drunk and do a Terry Goodkind rant. That could get ugly!

I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, buuut I would have read these books a long time ago if they had been given better covers. I avoided reading The Eye of the World for years because I hated the cover so much. lol. (For anyone curious, I just finished reading it for the first time last week.)

It's flipped. He flipped the last cover on the green screen.

[@sharathsh9987]

Yeah, he flipped it. If it was the way it was, then Rand would be on the back of the book.

[@danlafferty1222]

But wait. Memory of Light is “guy with sword.” 🤣

[@DanielGreeneReviews]

Dan Lafferty ssshhhhhhhhh

[@UltimateKyuubiFox]

Dan Lafferty I think the criticism of “guy with sword” covers is about it usually just being held casually by his thigh, lmao. The poses are always the same.

[@danlafferty1222]

UltimateKyuubiFox I think it’s just as problematic with some of the intense overhead poses and such. There’s no doubt Memory of Light is a better cover than your standard “guy with sword” cover. But....if someone had no prior knowledge and looked at it, they probably wouldn’t see much difference.

[@nvwest]

It's not a sword! 😂

[@danlafferty1222]

Envy West But to a typical eye perusing the shelves at Barnes and Noble, it is most assuredly a “guy with sword” cover. 😊🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Nasser851000]

that thumbnail with nicholas cage me me lol so hard XD

[@alexparadi522]

Eye of the World cover is easily one of my favorite covers ever. Such nostalgia for me, but also, it just conveys such a wondrous feeling. The actual artwork is one of the strongest out of the series - the composition and lighting and colors pallet are by far the best of the bunch. It's the only cover art I would put on my wall. I agree that the artist hadn't been told who was in the 'party'. Agree that Path of Daggers is one of the best. Again, the composition and use of color is way better than many of the others and the artist's people are anatomically correct and naturally posed. Agree that Memory is the best actual art work. The people look like people and aren't super-stiff cardboard cut outs. The fabrics are great. The framing of everyone works pretty well as does the red rock vs color of people. Also... do more videos slightly drunk.

[@calebmauer1751]

I love how the banners look on the Path of Daggers cover, that always looks really good to me.

[@josephwilliams9714]

More of green screen cover reviews. Hilarious!

[@420jturner]

Wait two books have different hands missing on Same character, anyone else notice that?

[@tylerrobbert2871]

[@ljxjlos9443]

[@Maxdog920]

Liking solely for the level of editing in this video, it must have taken a while Edit: I also love how Daniel's shirt is transparent at points, making me think hes not strongly in Tel'aran'rhiod

[@Derekrife1]

You should do a video about the Japanese Covers for the following reasons: 1. There are multiple covers per book. In Japan they split the novels up into smaller volumes. So there's between 5 to 8 covers per book up to the 11th. 2. All of the covers are drawn by Katou Toshiaki in a style similar to Yoshitaka Amano's Final Fantasy artwork, and they're all beautiful. 3. Almost every main character is on the covers. There are also like 6 other sets of covers for different languages and most of them are really bad. Even worse than the US versions. The finish versions are all done in really bad 1990's CGI.

[@pika4668]

I'm loving this semi-drunk Daniel it's so funny Also editing is top-notch 👌 *"WHERE IS THOM"*

[@MorganRhysGibbons]

The "classic" covers are just so unforgivably bad, they have prevented most of an entire generation from picking up these great books. Eye of the world, for example- perspective on the horses, etc. It's just too long a list to go through. The new covers are SO much better.

[@ezraminard2986]

Finally on time because I don’t have school

[@TheJessMooney]

Actually Daniel, I think Thom is also in the cover of Crossroads of Twilight! Wouldn't you say he's the one in purple in the background?

[@noblenurgle8609]

Could be, but I would think it's Noal

[@TheJessMooney]

@@noblenurgle8609 Nah that's gotta be Thom. Noal is on the cover of Towers of Midnight, and looks super different. The guy in purple fits Thom's description better

[@DavidScotton]

It could be literally anyone, Darrell K. Sweet never drew any character the same way twice.

[@wyssmaster]

@@noblenurgle8609 I don't think Noal had mustaches the way Thom did.

[@rebelamyrlin]

i saw chip gaines but svelt

[@haterzrmymotivators3]

“Daddy Daniel” we cannot let this pass, this must be addressed

[@roylandrum863]

basically Michael Whelan > Darrell Sweet, that's why Memory of Light cover is the best

[@DavidScotton]

I think Sweet deserves more credit than he usually gets for color, scenery, and making (some of) the covers eye catching. But he was pretty terrible at drawing people, or any kind of accurate representation of what's going on in the books.

[@justyouraveragenerd6021]

[@RobChristianson]

So does Rob.

In the gathering storm cover rand holds up his right hand (left one should begon right?) Memory of light rand holds the sword in his left hand??? (Did hey switch witch hand hey lost?)

I give the Green Screen a 6.5 of 10. Looks awesome but need to work on the disappearing arms, was a little much there. Drunk Daniel, solid 9. You sir, are a very opinionated and funny drunk, loving it! Sadly you'll likely never see this since I only just discovered your channel in the last week. 😔

[@cheezettegazette]

The 'memory of light' Rand... Looks like Sam Heughan from Outlander and I can't unsee it.

[@rebekkahdavi8493]

The “A Memory of Light” cover is by Michael Whelan, who is well known in the field. I just found out that you can purchase it as a print (I think, if I remember correctly, it’s 20“ x 30“); I ordered it a few days ago.

[@psychologymajorptsd62]

They depicted the Trollocs terribly in ALL of the covers. Made them look like a bunch of guys in scary looking helmets.

[@marcusmanzl6755]

Well I mean... isn’t the LoC cover literally the ending of Dumai’s Wells? Sure Rand does look a little off but multiple things point at context. The aes sedai, and the caravan/wagon things too (on the other half of the image)

[@kyriross5145]

Can we just address the best part of all the covers? The CLEARLY marked "Book # in the Wheel of Time". It's just there, no issue, so beautiful. I loathe when you're reading a series and you have to dig to figure out which book is which.

[@weleho]

I actually see the non-matching cobers to what books hold in them as a benefit. Since the covers are very possible scenes, they reflect the stuff but don't spoile anything.

[@fireivy3480]

Is it just me or does the guy on the Crown of Swords look like he's doing green-screen and someone told him, "Don’t worry. We'll add the spear in post"

Haha I guess nobody else noticed that on the cover for Gathering Storm it is Rands left hand that is “hidden” and in Memory of Light he is holding a sword in that very same hand 🤔🤔 lol

I ha-a-a-a-a-a-ate the original cover art for Wheel of Time. It is, in a word, awful. I always thought the proportions of the characters was super awkward. The arms especially always looked too short, and the heads too big for the bodies. And Ishamael looks like he's wearing curlers on the cover of The Dragon Reborn. The audiobook covers, on the other hand, are exceptional, especially The Fires Of Heaven. Now THAT is Moiraine.

Nice to see you looking to upgrade with a green screen. A little note. Don't wear any green with it. The effect was bleeding onto your shirt. It looked more like a projection. I only noticed around the eight-minute marker then I only noticed it from thereon. Good thing this was a test.
