Wheel of Time Season 3 Trailer REACTION

I dropped the show at the beginning of Season 2, but I went back to it because the Season 3 trailer got me excited. Now that my expectations are well-adjusted, I'm having a good time with the show and can't wait for Season 3.

[@Handofchalk090]

The music sets the tone and I love the dark aesthetic. This trailer speaks about that show is back in a positive way

[@Jay-yr9oi]

I think so many issues with the show comes down to "8 episodes is just not enough time to do as much as we want/need," which is a big part of why the season 2 ending felt a bit off.

[@jamessloven2204]

They had 8 episodes in Season One, but they still spent that full episode on that Warder whose name no one remembers. The show runner just doesn’t pace well.

[@shauntempley9757]

@@jamessloven2204 Because that Warder is foreshadowing something BIG.

[@Jay-yr9oi]

That episode feels unnecessary to those of us who’ve read the books, where Jordan accomplished the same thing over several books. However, while you might’ve been able to get away shrinking it a bit, showing that impact was incredibly important for setting up elements of the world and planting seeds for something coming so that they’ll hit hard enough, even for people who only watched the show. Alanna bonding Rand while acting irrationally after losing her warded and Lan’s issues after losing Moiraine need a degree of setting up to really have the right impact with viewers, and that episode planted those seeds. If the show doesn’t end up using these plot elements, yes, that episode will be a lot less important. However, if they are included, as they should be, it’s vital to set up just how brutal losing that link is

[@ljc6181]

The run time of the LoTR is about nine hours for the extended versions. Three books in 9 hours, Judkins failed to get even close with eight hours for one book. This is not a legitimate excuse.

The trailer for season 3 looks really promising, it looks like they are definitely correcting some of the larger issues with the tv show overall, while there’s some things that still look a little concerning as to where it may go, I’m extremely hopeful that they get it at least to a degree where we can get a few more seasons and have it improve to the point where they can finish it properly

You're assuming the door happens at all. Me, I'm 80% sure that doesn't happen. It's too much - too "weird" - to introduce for show-only viewers, especially when in the grand scheme of the books it plays such a TINY part.

[@MKTraxel]

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.

[@JesseTate]

I found this helpful actually for S2 of WOT.. Rings of power I just CANNOT. It is horribly done in almost every regard, whereas WoT seems to have some good acting, good wardrobes, and good worldbuilding (despite too much garish color aometimes). The main issue with WoT is just the writing which is the heart of a story but can also be balanced out by other things. RoP is just bad bad bad. plus I feel more attached to the world than WOT. But with WOT I watched maybe 2-3 episodes of season one, then readjusted my expectations and I have to admit I actually enjoyed S2, and watched maybe half the episodes and skimmed the other half

[@shauntempley9757]

Yes, and Wheel Of Time started that.

[@tylerdurham6091]

See, I understand why people do this but I simply can't approach adaptation like that. My belief is that when you are playing with someone else's work, you are obligated to tell the original as faithfully as possible in the new medium. It's why I noped out of this show early into season 2

[@Moridin69]

That's just copium

[@sVieira151]

In the same boat. I feel like its on an upward trajectory and i really hope this season is the same. I think i enjoyed s2 a bit more than you seemed to overall but i agree the finale was a bit ehh. With you on the more episodes. It was always a problem from the day it was announced regardless of potential writing mistteps. This world and story needs to breath and have space for the downtime that we get and while they've tried to add aome downtime in s2 it still feels rushed and like they're cramming stuff in but its still not enough.

[@jonathonborys3868]

Well done Daniel. Many years ago I joined this channel because of your love for the series. I am trying, but I am still upset with decisions in season one and thus still can't finish it. I think I need to see that season 3 and onward are going to course correct.

[@TheMrjgutz]

is anyone still watching this? damn near stopped after the 1st couple episodes but i finished season 1 and have been trying to forget what i saw ever since

[@hopperwolf2]

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.

[@shauntempley9757]

I am one of those that really enjoyed The Winter Dragon, and really enjoyed Seda's work. We are a very rare group of people that see it that way. As for the show? I enjoy it. I also appreciate that they acknowledged Seda at one point, and wish he was alive to work in this show.

[@hopperwolf2]

@@shauntempley9757, I remember actually seeing it when it aired. I think I'd come home from the bar and just flipped on the TV and saw, "Winter Dragon" and thought, sure. A third of the way thru it I was like, "Are they ripping of Robert Jordan?" That became, "Is this actually The Wheel of Time?"

[@UnravelingthePattern]

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!

One big thing for me is Mat’s hanging and getting the ashandarei and the foxhead medalion. I guess it would make sense to have that happen in the White Tower, but I’m worried they cut the Finn and I’d really prefer to see that weirdness preserved, regardless of whether it distracts from everything else going on.

[@Junior6288]

The number of book channels that this show specifically brought me to (by watching their reviews) who are now not wanting to cover the show, makes me sad. IMO it’s a fun adaptation. It’s never going to be the book, it’s a TV series.

[@cyanbloodbane1]

Focusing so much on Moraine is such a huge mistake for this show. So much is missed with the other major characters. Even the parts of the books that contain Moraine she isn't that pivotal beyond book 1

[@leza4453]

I would have had no issue with that, if the Moiraine was closer in character to the books. This version seems dumb and unempathic.

[@zakiya1635]

@cyanbloodbane I think they focussed on Moraine so much because the actress has a bigger name and they were using her to draw in an audience that would watch the show but less likely to read the books. I think they assumed at least some of those reading the books would just transition over as the were already invested. Imo.

[@phiwokuhleqwabe5]

​@zakiya1635 she really isn't that famous of an actor. She was in gone girl and hasn't made a hit since. Yall act like she's Angelina Jolie or something

[@javierhevillasantos5385]

I mean Mat wasn't really important during the waste but the beggining of that is really important to his character to the point that there he gets some things that literally represent him as a character.

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

3:11 - But there is also only so much that can be done with so few episodes. I still genuinely believe that if the WoT tv series had a couple more episodes every season, that would really help a lot with how much time we got to spend focusing on the epic-ness and world/character moments and such. Interview With The Vampire is a tv show that is managing to do pretty phenomenally with only 7 to 8 eps per season, and I still find myself sometimes wishing it was doing even more[ with characters and world/lore/etc], even though there is pretty much zero feasible way that it could be without either more episodes or like 1½hr long eps. The LotR films are an exception, not the rule, and let's remember how dang long those Director's Cut versions are!!! Lol Buuut I dunno, maybe that's just me.😊🤷🤷‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️😅 😁

[@lethentucker]

Stopped taking notes on Knife of Dreams in August last year to read and take notes on the Imperial Radch trilogy, second readthrough of Wheel of Time. We just need to accept that the show is a new turning of the wheel. Perhaps eight or ten episodes aren't enough to fully flesh out the story of the books, this is a new story though and if Aviendha happens to be the new Gaul, one of the best characters from the books, then we should accept it. Also, I can't wait to get me some Talmanes.

[@bjslater4199]

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

[@leza4453]

[@ottobot1234]

Moiraine is a main character in the show I don't think she's going to be absent for the amount of time she was in the books so they need to give her a storyline and it's probably coming from Nynaeve

The show definitely feels like it's going on an upward trajectory after s2, though I think it's always going to be marred by a lot of missteps and production issues from s1. Ultimately, I have hope, especially because of the performances from the cast and the genuinely great moments we've seen.

[@zyonhenderson67]

There's a episode called Golden Eyes, this whole season can be hogwash but Perrin so far has been my favorite character. I need them to do this right

[@noahjohnson8975]

5:51 - This could be a reimagining of the council chamber in Far Madding. I don't know why that would show up here, now, but maybe it's a flashback. I'm probably reading too much into it, but the poses of those statues just seem to be saying something in a very overt visual language, and that made me think of the thing there (intentionally vague).

[@JoeAuerbach]

So I have spent a reasonable amount of time training in sword since I saw the last season and that roll cut that Lan does in the middle of this is really good. That is a guy who has been handling a sword. Or at least he is mimicking a guy who has been handling a sword really well which is actually his job.

[@danalou_who7765]

Rand IS 20 in the books. The show could have made the EF5 a little more worldly sheltered, but the only characters actually aged up are Elayne and Egwene by a couple of years.

[@leoramirez3356]

I dropped season 2 at the beginning because it didn't really click for me, now seeing that Mat isn't in the Waste in season 3 I'm wondering if they are going to scrap/they scrapped a certain pair of twisted doorframes, which will be a bit sad if they did since it's one of the Mat defining moments on the books imo.

Could Rand looking really different be a flashback of sorts to a previous age of the wheel?

Then he wouldn't look like rand, just like how Rand doesn't look like Lews Therin. Rand isn't reincarnated as Rand every age or turning.

[@melaniev9446]

Most likely, it's visually a way many shows and movies get around this as in books we know it's the "mind" that goes back to different bodies but visually that's not so easy to instill. Often times it's even more of a "this isn't how he looks to everyone else, but for our sake so we can tell, it's all him" situation. It honestly makes sense as a visual way to get the point across as there's not really any narrative explanation of what's happening until after and it would confuse new viewers way too much if Rand just walked through pillars looking pained and we kept getting flash backs of random people we have no connection to.

[@mjbinon]

Both of those things are true. Mat going to Rhuidean is absolutely not important, only a specific object is important, and that object could be located anywhere else (such as in the Tower) in this adaptation and not change anything (that being said, there is ZERO chance they implement that object IMO - snakes and foxes are just too abstract for this TV show - they'll find some other way to implement Mat's changes). And Callandor is also unimportant. It's just a MacGuffin. Its primary purpose - identification of the Dragon - was already removed, and anything else it does during the later parts of the books can easily be adapted for some other MacGuffin (Chodan Kal or otherwise) or even be introduced later, since it spends 3/4 of the books just stuck in the ground serving nothing.

As a point of contrast, in Gladiator (the first one), whn we first see Rome, it's with Commodus and Senators; we can see it's grand, but it's a place they've always known and always held power and influence. It's not new. When Proximo's gladiators arrive, Maximus has never been to Rome; Juba just syays "I didn't know men could build such things", while the camera work empasizes how awesome - in the old sense of the word - nature of the city, and the Colliseum are to the newcomers. But WoT has been showing us the Westlands through the experienced, jaded viewpoint so much more.

It's amazing how the whole trajectory of the series changed when the Matt actor, (Barney?) resigned. The first 6 episodes of S1 were pretty faithful to the book. Then he left, before filming ended. Massive rewrite. From there it went downhill and half of S2 was spent trying to get everyone back on track while moving the story forward. Prime & Sony seem adamant on only allowing 8 episodes, in a 60 minute time frame. I'm hoping there will be no more disruptions and S3 will be a rousing succcess

I really wanted the tv series to be how I imagined the books. But unfortunately the differences are huge. I no longer recommend the tv series as it's a poor representation of the books. It is still a decent show in itself, it is just not the same for me .

This season is probably going to be the closest to the books we've had yet if that helps 😅

[@shutit8949]

@@HQofrandomI really doubt that.

[@priceeverett9102]

Matt and Avendasora is so important though. Maybe he'll show up in the wastes

[@jaysinrd]

This show is NOT anything even remotely close to the books. They just took the characters names and a few plot points and scrapped the rest. Yes I’ll still be hate watching

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.

[@MateriaBlade1]

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

[@leza4453]

Its Liandrin, likely in the world of dreams

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

25:01-25:10 - Okie, I feel mildly vindicated now; at least it's not totally just me, thinking that too few episodes is a huge huge problem here! 💖😁💖

[@user-ir9dt7dp8s]

I agree with the beginning the point of wot is to see these characters grow and become who the pattern wants them to be but they completely ignored that

[@wwemattitude]

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.

[@leoramirez3356]

He did had some feelings for Layla and dreamed of marrying her, and she reciprocated those feelings but they both let it go. As for aging up the characters, its only Egg and Elayne since they were 16-17 and the boys where 19ish. The writing team just made them less sheltered, or in Mat's case, butchered his parents to get him some pity points and make him likeable

[@ryandagey502]

Right ty for your commentary, I agree 💯 that Rand & Egwene would not be engaging in the way they are in the books. I want to like the show, I really do man but from that first scene with them in bed, suffice to say I'm struggling too brother

[@legi1233]

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

[@Lothiril]

I watched the first season when it came out, and not having read the books it couldn't disappoint me in any way, but it was kind of whatever, and I basically forgot about the show's existence. By chance I watched season 2 about a month ago, but still don't know what to think. The actors are decent I think, but I struggle to connect to any of the characters properly. I think I like Rand, and Lanfear is well done , and I think Nyneave is a super annoying character, but aside from that I barely have any emotions about the show. I hope I remember the show again when season 3 comes out and that it'll become a bit more memorable.

[@syracho2976]

I still think the only way they can do the show justice is having 80 minute episodes and having at least 12 of them per book.
