The Wheel of Time - Season 3 Official Teaser Reaction!

[@r_r_r_r]

Can't wait for Sleepy Waffles WOT episode reactions!

[@nerdygunz7734]

Saaaaaaaaaame!

[@logicsol7244]

4:22 Yeah, I never understood that take. Characters are gritty when it makes sense they're gritty, and they aren't just dirty for no reason. That made sense to me, but clothes washing is apparently immersion breaking for some hehe. They've done some really neat things with that attention to detail too - from the partially healed wound on Egwene's arm that hints at Nyn's powers in Ep 1, to showing the audience what really happened at the Farm in episode 4 - Mat's dagger was clean and the Fade's bloody.

[@nerdygunz7734]

WoT book and show lover here! So glad you're doing more WoT content! Looking forward to it!

[@man_person_camera_tv]

As a book reader myself I've really enjoyed your reactions. Keep it up and hope you enjoy season 3.

[@JenoFletter]

Having read the books many times I have enjoyed the show alot. Great reaction.

[@fedos]

Also a book fan. My only complaints that aren't nitpicks come from constraints caused by either the budget or the pandemic.

[@stone7858]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 yes you are back! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@rapunzl347]

The showrunner also used the word “bonkers” to describe the opening of S3 😂

[@lisadonaldson5132]

I love that he actually used the term "bonkers" too!

[@rapunzl347]

@ I nearly died 🤣

[@arosa_mg]

Can't wait for Season 3 and your reactions.

[@proteuswest1084]

Book reader here: I was a bit dissatisfied early on with the show but as soon as they did the Manetheren song in episode 2 and I started seeing reactions from non book readers, I enjoyed it a lot more. Season 2 was a treat and I am crazy excited for season 3!

[@nancymartin2953]

The only reason it's "polarizing" is because book readers can't handle any variation to exact "script from the books". I don't understand this mentality since I would rather see something new... otherwise I would just read.

[@jamessimmons1486]

I look at it as not the turning of the wheel we all read, but as just another turning of the wheel. Same but different.

[@BrittnyShrub]

I am one book reader who absolutely loves the show! ❤

[@nancymartin2953]

@@BrittnyShrub Same. Instead of finding flaws based on personal preference, we should appreciate this great show.

[@logicsol7244]

Another looooong time reader ('96) that loves the show! I embraced the new turning and find them doing a solid job with the story telling.

[@AloisiaSedai]

I’m an OG book reader. Please say SOME book readers. I love the show.

[@sherbetmango]

I am a long time WoT book reader and I am enjoying the show so much! Really enjoyed your reaction and perspective as a show WoTcher. Thank you!

[@Eriths-Honey-Cakes]

Everything is going to get rough for our characters from here on out. It’s gonna be great! Bring on the Aiel! ❤

[@BlondLanfear]

Yay we are so back - less than 100 days to go

[@Ayeshteni]

I forgot the North Americans have the extra month of Heytember after December.

[@AloisiaSedai]

I found S1E1 overwhelming as a book reader because of changes but I soon embraced the storytelling. I still dislike the last two episodes during COVID. In season 2 I was all in. I know Barney Harris did what he had to do but his leaving threw Mats plot into a tailspin so that’s the only part I find to be a weakness, even though I like Donal. The CGI NOW is so amazing! I never thought this story could be told in a movie and still don’t but as a series? Wow! It’s amazing.

[@jeremiahsealy9211]

man when tv had like 20 ep a season than took off the summer and started back in the fall my interest in shows held way more strong this 8 episodes than a year or so off until next season makes me really lose the drive i have for shows and im a huge wheel of time fan (and kinda a fan of the show but i really try and separate it from the books so i can enjoy it more but thats hard to do)

[@Sashimi1408]

Yeah, but then those shows were not epic fantasy shows that required months on end of VFX/CGI post-production to make it look so epic. They were regular shows. Plus, as of today's standard, audiences and particularly genre fans of fantasy or sci-fi are very demanding and want their standards to be met. So, that's why we only get 8 episodes per season and another season every two years.

[@gohsedai8980]

Why has Lan been removed the opening image?😭

[@philc2729]

The show has only casually mentioned some of the prophecies regarding the Dragon Reborn. I'm sure they will elaborate on them this seaon. Let the prophecies ride on the wings of Prime - Quote from Unraveling the Pattern.

[@lisadonaldson5132]

I enjoyed Season 1 overall, though I really struggled with some things that were mostly based on Covid shut downs and all the fallout, but Season 2 was fantastic. Season 3 is covering much of the fandom's favorite book and so far I am so hyped!

[@Hamish_Whitehaven]

second book opens up and then every book open up more, book 1 is the hardest one for some people :)

[@LloydBaron]

Yay, you did a reaction. I was hoping you would see it and do one. I have loved you season 1 and 2 reactions.

[@Patrick-kh4bx]

Can't wait to watch your s3 reactions!

[@caucajunsaint1474]

The decisiveness of this show hangs on the sect of book readers who do not like the show being very loud and unequivocal about how their opinion of the show is the only possible right opinion.

[@l8niteowl55]

Please don't read any of the books. There are plenty of channels out there that are always comparing it to the books. I watch your reactions/commentaries because this is a new experience for you(and you're smart and perceptive). If you read even just book one, that all changes. Just keep doing what you're doing, thanks!

[@rantalmore]

Hype🎉❤🎉❤

[@Citizen88020120820]

Looks like they are skipping most of book three which is fine imo. I can see how that works with how they have structured the show compared to the books. Book 4 is probably one of the best fantasy books ever written. They have peak material to choose from for season 3. I wish they had 10 episodes. In the books Moraine is much more mysterious and not the lead. As she is one of my favorite fantasy characters in general its fun to see her POV as the lead so far. This looks good though.

[@AndyLuu72]

I’ve always enjoyed your non-book reader reactions! Don’t read the book until it’s all over. I would love to see your untainted reactions.

[@OddThoughtz]

The emmonds field 5 are all the leads in the books. Moraine not as much but she's awesome in the series

[@thatcher174]

Im in and ready!!!!

[@GentleGiantJason]

Season three looks even better than season two!

[@AndyLuu72]

Season 2 was Egwene’s turn to shine. This season, Rand will take center stage. Expect something HUGE in episode four…according to his interview. I can’t wait!

[@richardlohne8595]

From what Rafe Judkins said season 3 is primarily book 4 so you can read 1-3 without out any issue but when all is said and done the show has changed a lot from the books.

[@stevecollette6831]

Rings of Power season two was better?!?! It was a steaming pile of crap. Even if you ignore all the terrible choices in adapting the books, the actual television production was garbage. The scale of things would change from scene to scene. Cities magically grew walls overnight because somebody forgot to put them in in earlier scenes. There would be 1000 combatants in one scene Reduced to a dozen in the next, only to have the thousand come back again. You had magical healing powers were being stabbed through the abdomen apparently is merely a flesh wound. The choices and behaviors of the characters was inconsistent. The editing and costuming was garbage. For $1 billion. It should have been better in every aspect. Beyond all that mess, the choices made in adapting the screenplay were ridiculously bad. Characters, storylines, events and timing were utterly inane. That said, wheel of time started with high production levels with the exception of the last two episodes of season one. That can clearly be understood as effects of the pandemic. The production has continued at a high level, and the storylines have improved, characters have been developed, and they’ve recovered from the deviation from the books that was forced by the change in a key actor, I’m looking forward to season three, expecting it to continue the high standard.
