Wheel of Time Teaser Trailer - Reaction

[@colbysmith8412]

Also the bookshelf behind you looks great. Love the Sanderson and Jim Butcher!

[@jwalterharris]

Thanks! It is the beginning of what hopefully will become an impressive collection.

[@colbysmith8412]

Your’re right, it was a crowd pleaser for me and I haven’t even read the books! I put a hold on the audiobook through my library but it’s an 8 week wait 😩

Interesting observation about the greenery when the first book starts as you point out in a sort of cold drought. I haven’t heard this addressed in the many reactions I have seen. Maybe they are starting further back to establish the normal atmosphere from which our young people start. I’m in the fifth book and very much looking forward to the show.

[@jwalterharris]

I had not thought of it that way. Good point!

I am just starting Eye of the World for a 3rd time and I love the trailer, this is one of my top series, enjoy the ride

Refreshing to see a unique reaction, with you 1/2 way through a book. Can’t wait myself!

I read it all. If I were to list movies that do what wheel of time does I would name: Mission: Impossible, Braveheart, Lord of the Rings, Jessica Jones, Elizabeth (1998), Inception, Akira. Yea imagine a show about the Spanish, French, and British all fighting a war with each other and an evil force. Magic, mystery, poli-ticking, betrayal, spies, love, friendship, and psychological twisted manipulation. It's fun. Coming of age. Bittersweet ending.

[@jwalterharris]

I am excited for the journey ahead. Thanks for your comment!

The first 3 books are basically the prologue for the rest of the series. Book 4 is when the series really starts branching out to become the epic series it is.

[@Stormcrownn]

Shadow Rising is one of the best fantasy books of all time.

[@jwalterharris]

That is one impressive prologue. I am enjoying it as it is so if it only gets better, that bodes very well for my goldfish-length attention span.

[@Finnssssss]

@@jwalterharris Think of the first 3 books as RJ introducing the main characters and laying the ground work before the rest of the series kicks your ass, especially books 4, 5 & 6.

[@jwalterharris]

😂 I hope that's a good thing.

[@Finnssssss]

@@jwalterharris let's just say there are some amazing plotlines, fantastic character developments and epic moments. And I almost guarantee the conclusion of Book 6 will leave you staring into space for a little while after lol

[@Stormcrownn]

If you think of what happens to the characters visually, the women go to a magical tower of the most powerful people in the world. There's a good argument to be made about them being a very big focal point. It also allows them to slowly build up the three boys as they should be, rather than immediately setting the expectations high. The audience is sort of in line with the mentality of the boys themselves, neither really expect a ton.

[@jwalterharris]

That is a really good point.

We’re supposed to be getting a second trailer, so I wouldn’t be surprised if in true WoT fashion, that trailer focuses on the guys.

[@jwalterharris]

I look forward to it! Please like and subscribe to my channel to follow my WOT journey!

[@MrCamcam117]

Very excited for this. Saw the trailer earlier, and while it doesn't look "spot on" as far as following the books, I agree that it looks entertaining and should be fun to watch regardless.

[@jwalterharris]

Totally agree! It should be a great time!

[@RIDOLF01]

Welcome to the Wheel of Time Fandom! Strap in so you don't lose your seat... And you aren't supposed to know everything... things will be revealed as you move forward and back.... RAFO = Read And Find Out... a quip that Jordan used on his fans when they asked questions about plot lines....

[@jwalterharris]

I will have to make RAFO my mantra. Thanks for the heads up. I am excited!

First off good on you for reading the books :) Its a long series and definitely not for every reader, you will know by the end of book 3 if its for you or not, and funny enough there are scenes from books 2 and 3 in the first season so that kind of works out :) Don't worry about not knowing where its headed, you will still feel that way on book 13. As a big fan of the books, I love this trailer, its cosmetically different, but it has the spirit.

[@jwalterharris]

Thanks for the insight! Looks like I better read faster and get the first three done so I am all ready for the show.

[@smaug1234]

@@jwalterharris I am pretty sure its just a scene or two :) Read and enjoy is the important thing. That way you can complain when the show does it "wrong" :)

I definitely am enjoying. Please like and subscribe to follow my WOT journey!
