The Wheel of Time # Teaser Trailer - REACTION

IT'S HERE GUYS!
I have been looking forward to this series for so many years so it is crazy that we are actually able to watch this trailer! I hope you'll enjoy my scrambling to find the trailer and my rambling review!

[@bulldawg0069]

"There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning." I'm 52 years old, started reading The Wheel of Time in the late 90's. I actually teared up watching this trailer the day it dropped, it looks as if there was some time and effort put into this, which this story deserves both. In my opinion the greatest epic fantasy I've ever read, yes I said it. From what I have been able to uncover about what they are trying to do here should do the books justice. I am not so naive to believe that this will follow the books word for word but, from what I've seen in these brief snippets this has huge potential to be great. Cannot wait to see this iteration of the Wheel.

[@undertheveil1576]

I'm looking at this as a new turning of the wheel, it's another story, with the same characters, based on the books. If it fails, I still have the books to go back to, but with this trailer I am really hopeful!

[@Yourturntabletop]

This is the reaction I've looked for. A true fan through and through.

[@vandanhorn77]

It's great watching other fans reacting to the trailer lover your enthusiasm!! Super excited myself!!!

[@gnomeandgarden6157]

As to that scene you mentioned: In book, it was stated that you could tell who a particular sister learned a weave from, by her hand movements. In that particular scene, one person taught herself, and the other learned under a different system. And I really want that scene in the series of the two fighting with all they have, and a cleaner comes in to dust with no idea that anything is happening.

[@calebanderson6205]

This series got me through High school. I'm beyond excited.

[@iamqtpie2825]

Same, honestly.

[@TeamRemForever]

I'm still reading The Eye of The World for the first time, and I'm already loving it!! I can't wait for the series!

[@arkadious9320]

I'll be honest, out of all the reaction videos so far yours is by far the best.

[@undertheveil1576]

Thank you! That means a lot! This teaser was absolutely crazy! I'm really looking forward to the next one now

[@merisesedai8205]

This is one of the most adorable reaction videos I have ever seen and I feel all the feels!

[@undertheveil1576]

Ahw, thank you!

[@williamalderman9117]

I've been flipping out for 2 days about this 😫🙌. I can't wait to see All of Moraine and Lans fighting choreography. Also verrrrrry excited for Logains new storyline and getting our first good look at the Trollocs! I'm so psyched.

[@erwinschrodinger7116]

I really enjoyed your reaction. You are much more emotive than I, and your raw excitement was very refreshing. I agreed with some of your concerns, but not others... but we will all see how it looks in full context soon enough! Weaves - agree that the hand waving was a little much, but then there was Logain with the weave just bursting out of him. So maybe it will vary. The Fade looked excellent to me. I hope they get the movement right. I agree the Trollocs were not really revealed too much in this one. They are likely saving that for the full trailer. In any case, well done!

[@mordyth]

I've watched dozens of these reaction videos now. Yours is the most genuine fan loved one I've seen. Jordan himself would smile watching you enjoy it

[@undertheveil1576]

Thank you! That is so kimd of you to say!

I cry everytime I watch it and watch a reaction. I am too excited.

[@codylangness7636]

YES. THIS REACTION. ALL OF THIS RIGHT HERE.

[@undertheveil1576]

Thank you! It was absolutely amazing!

[@jordanbutterworth6215]

I LOVE everyone's reaction to the Myrddraal: For the look of the eyeless is fear.... From the bit I've seen, I'm cautiously optimistic that Amazon has knocked this one out of the Pattern.

[@TheJapengo]

Watching this brought back all the emotions I felt when I watched it the first, second, and third times.

[@albertaguy4817]

First scene, of the first official footage, is Egwene. Lets jump ahead to how it all ends 14 books later, and think about the fore-shadowing of her role. Nyaneave casts her into the water (most likely a woman's circle right of passage), she floats down to a pool, and comes up through multi-colored paint, causing her shift to take on a multi-colored pattern. That is also heavy fore-shadowing of how her character arc develops. Just, her cut scenes alone, have so much in them. Tossed into the water, afloat with no real footing for a time, she re-gains her footing, and a multi-colored decision is made, literally as the narrator says "that be come legend!".

[@undertheveil1576]

Reading this made the hair stand on both arms and legs, I didn't think about the water in that way of not having footing and just being swept away by a river

[@EtchAGetch]

@@undertheveil1576 The scene with her swimming in the water, and then immediately after she is floating in the water, is homage to how to control saidar. It's literally exactly how it is described in the book, where it is a raging river that you can't swim against it but you must surrender to it. Note that those scenes are directly when the voiceover talks about the one power.

[@undertheveil1576]

@@EtchAGetch oh that is so true! How did I miss that!? Do I have time to read the series one more time before the show comes out? 🤣😭

This was such a lovely reaction. :) I was absolutely shaking the whole time I watched it the first time!! Excitement for November 19th is an INTENSE understatement.

Right! After so many years of waiting, two months have never seemed so long!

[@bryanstorey7872]

I started these books in 2000 and I have waited patiently for a visional version. It's great to watch you geek out like I did and I still get chills watching this trailer every time I view it. So thank you for sharing your experience with us. So I will subscribe and support.

[@bryanstorey7872]

@@asarishepard8171 well WOT does have plenty of nastiness in it. I just hope they don't shy away from the trollocs and the fact that they eat what they catch. I want the dark one and his forces to be people's nightmares. Even though there isn't a lot of detail put into their extreme violence, it is sure hinted at. I just don't want people learning about WOT for the first time to think it's a tame coming of age adventure for our young characters but something scary and horrifying to go through.

[@asarishepard8171]

@@bryanstorey7872 a scary and visceral adventure! Thats what I got from the whole shadar logoth area and the clips from that area seem to capture that :)

The story is deeper than game of thrones, with the magic and character development. I just can’t wait either. So excited.

Been watching all the fan reactions, yours is one of the best, what a teaser! The wheel weaves.....

[@wheelchazeal8089]

You’re reacting is the closest I’ve seen to mine. Especially the hyperventilating before the drop. 🤣

[@undertheveil1576]

I had to edit away so much of my scrambling to find it because I was just panicing for 5 whole minutes while I couldn't find it 😂

[@innerblight]

Same!! Hahhaah this reaction made me start tearing up

[@adeparkerjp]

Your channel will take off now. Your excitement is infectious. Awesome and I felt the same way. Had to watch it many times. Perrin looked great and Mat with the knife sends shivers down the spine. Mat is everyman, we can all relate to Mat. The ta’veren character growth will be amazing. Egwene and Nynaeve look perfect too. Love it. Wish We could skip October.

[@pedanticperson1149]

Re: the weaving & moving I think it's was over-emphasised in the trailer, but the Aes Sadai are supposed to move for a lot of their weaving (more just throwing motions & finger-waggling in the books I think); as for the big stand-off in the later book, I think that can be explained by one character copying the older character's attacks (which are different for obvious reasons).

[@axiom2472]

I was watching Daniell Greene and the Dusty Wheel, but had to pause them so I could watch.

Great excitement

[@archer1949]

I’m only on book four, so I am not as knowledgeable as some of these long term fans, but I don’t get the fan reactions to the depiction of channeling. It’s a visual medium. Why would anyone expect it to look like the way it’s portrayed in the books with them basically standing around making vague gestures with wispy colored lights floating around? Why wouldn’t you make as visually exciting as possible? Remember, most people watching have never heard from of WOT. Reminds of the people complaining about LOTR not being adapted verbatim with long scenes of walking, endless expository monologues and second hand anecdotes.

[@undertheveil1576]

I definitely get where you're coming from. I think because it is such a large parts of the story many have had high expectations about the channeling. Especially those who've read the books 5+ times. People will have opinions about the show and every opinion won't be good. But it's impossible to make a show that suits everybody. I have a few issues with it as well but I'm super excited also, and the channeling isn't really a huge issue.

[@archer1949]

@@undertheveil1576 Fair enough. From my (admittedly limited) knowledge thus far, the most valid complaint is in some of the costumes and how they don’t look “lived in” enough. Not the bright colors, but the lack of dust and travel wear.

Yeah, the tower looked way, way to big, it was half the size of the city which wasn't needed imo, then you get interior shots and it's very small, though yes, I liked the design too.
