The Wheel of Time Season 2 - The Many Faces of Mat Cauthon | An Actors Deepdive

[@carolbriscoe9337]

I laughed at Mat's mimicry of Liandrin locking his door. That was the hint of the Mat we will see in the future. Enjoyed the inter- action with Mim, a relationship we know will remain a casual friendship. I'm looking forward to seeing more of both characters this season

[@WheelofTimeTheory]

That was my favourite part that Donal has added to Mat! lol

[@talmanes4589]

I like the new Mat and the castings for the new characters we get as well with Elayne, Verin and Elias. For all the complaints I've had about the show, the castings and the quality of the acting has never been one of them. They've done a great job making the characters feel like the characters from the books for the most part.

[@gryphonshire]

I see season 1 Mat as more sly, and season 2 Mat as more mischievous. Both actors are great, but I think Donal will be a great Mat thru the years.

[@jenliz6248]

I thought Barney Harris was good, but Donal Finn is perfect so far!

[@mikeythezero]

I've liked Donal so far, and I think he will kill as Mat going forward. If they have the training scene, or any other his luck scenes I think Donal will do the series great

[@WheelofTimeTheory]

Hopefully the training scene can still happen, Maybe they will have to substitute who he spars with perhaps?

[@Ablon94]

i liked the new guy, i don't know how to compare to the other actor yet, but im happy the new guy did a good job!

[@WheelofTimeTheory]

I just go of my guy reactions to watching Donal. The hand gestures I feel add a lot to Mat.

[@ener11454]

My favorite part of Mat so far this season is that little rock he is holding in many scenes. He rolls it around his fingers like a poker player flipping a poker chip or a dice player rotating dice around. It gives you this vibe into his future in a really subtle way using a prop that doesn't necessarily seem meaningful.

[@tw7998]

It is early days but i like the new Mat, he has the humour right.

[@WheelofTimeTheory]

Exactly, it just feels more right to me

[@cazgreene3055]

Great video, I agree I can’t choose between them, they both had awesome Mat energy to me, I guess I found Barney sexier somehow but Donal’s mischievous glint when talking to Min has so much potential. Can’t wait to WAFO.

[@DGENXP]

I much prefer donal's version of Matt as his personality matches far more to his book counterpart, I just hope that he stops hiding from his friends as this is the only point of his character i just dont vibe with. Perhaps there will be flicker flicker scene which will make him more determined, missing your videos Man will you be doing reviews of this season?

[@TheJcpeterman1985]

Donal is more Matt i think

[@kennunn3060]

Yet no matt staff fight vs geawn why

[@kalaldin9154]

I’m not a fan of the many (unnecessary, imho) changes the show has made in the WoT lore and characters, but I must say Donal Finn’s portrayal of what the show’s writers have given him has been one of the few bright spots, for me.

[@WheelofTimeTheory]

And there should be more to come in S2 as well

[@beepboop204]

[@stooartbabay]

Me too :)

[@kylecook7187]

I don't want to say I like Donal more, because Barney was great, but I much prefer the way he's written in this season.

[@athomenotavailable]

Min and Mat's chemistry are like Birgette and Mat

[@WheelofTimeTheory]

I never thought of that before! Good shout!

[@phyllisthomas1500]

When I don't like about the 2nd season. I liked the new matt. Hate the way they changed lan fear or nineve

[@bingefox4056]

Definitely feel Doanl played Mat better. Much more likable.

[@cathylove6533]

I loved Barney Harris as Matt Cauthon. He was perfect for the part. Its so annoying to change characters in the middle of a program when originally it was so exciting and plodding slong to now what. Booo.

[@sblort123]

does anyone know if barney is doing alright, its seriously odd that nothing is known about why he left exactly

[@kylecook7187]

And deleted all socials, bro just fuckin vanished
