Well acted, good character development, has the feel of WOT books despite the differences. I thought it well done and really enjoyed these first 3 episodes.

I love your reaction! I'm so tired of the other book readers hating on the show because it wasn't adapted exactly the way they expected... it's so refreshing to see someone else who can appreciate the show for what it is! 😀

Alanna totally either misunderstood the question, or gave some very good advice wrapped in euphemisms. Honestly, I’m okay with either explanation 😂

Yeah when I was watching it I totally thought Alanna understood the question and was just giving advice wrapped in euphemisms lol

@sivzzz3008 Год назад

Im glad there are deticated fans that are not being negative about the changes. We get it, season one was a mess, but noone can deny the upgrade in quality here. As someone who is on their third full reread of the books, i loved these first 3 episodes. Sure there are major changes, but it does feel like the wheel of time finally, and it got me so excited for the rest of the season and future ones.

@stevenoconnell5846 Год назад

One of the best fan reactions period! Love your video, will be watching the rest! So glad the season has started up, one of the rare (seemingly) book readers that appreciated season 1 so much despite obvious challenges. Thank you for the vid!

Hard to show Perrins sense of smell and the info he can gather from the different scents. I'm not mad at the choice of how to show Perrins abilities. Hopefully they change/evolve as he accepts the wolf

@talmanes4589 Год назад

The first time it happened with the dead tinkers, I thought he was simply seeing what the wolves had seen but that theory fell apart with the scene inside the house. I don't know exactly what they are going for with that tbh but I agree that it would be difficult to depict the way it is in the books.

That group that we saw the vision of Fain killing, I think that was the little girl and the tinker from the darkfriend social. We saw how Fain smiled at the little girl when Ishy wasn’t looking. I think Fain went after her, on his own (I can’t see any reason why Ishy would have done that. I don’t know if you saw it, but don’t wish to comment on it because it has some spoilery stuff in it, but starting at minute 58:58 there’s a trailer about what will be coming up in the season.

@vampiricalchemist Год назад

Finally the show has found its footing. This season is so very good so far.

@KritterXD Год назад

Agreed!

@tw7998 Год назад

Completely agree

@jamesalexander958 Год назад

Did we read the same books? Watch the same show? I was hoping 2020 ruined season one and they'd find their footing, instead it's even more blatant disregard for the source material

@vampiricalchemist Год назад

@@jamesalexander958 The way season 1 left off there was no way to just start going 1:1 with the books. If we are assuming 2020 ruined season 1 then we gotta accept the realities left over by the end of that season. Still I think they retconned a bit by ignoring Loial even got stabbed by the dagger. So given the situation, S2 is doing all it can to fall back into line. It just cannot do it from the get go, the pieces though seem to be moving in the right direction. Wouldnt be surprised if by the end of the season we are close to every main character being around where they were at that point in the books. Also in what way is it more blatantly disregarding the show than season 1?

@tw7998 Год назад

@@vampiricalchemist I had my own issues with season 1 and agree it had some issues, but i think people under-estimate the difficulty of converting 4.4 million words and hundreds of characters into 64 hours of tv. We would all love to see the selene sub story and the mat, thom and rand road trip, and a dozen other favourite scenes such as mat fighting galad and gawyn. The reality is that we would need 10 seasons of 100 episodes to cover everything. Personally i think they are doing a decent job in S2 of telling the story.

@tw7998 Год назад

I have a problem - i have already watched every episode 3 times and a bunch of reviews and my wife is thoroughly sick of hearing about WOT!. As a fellow book addict this season is a big step up from S1 to me. I cant wait to see your reaction to E3. Oh btw, i think moiraine was stilled not shielded.

@bulldawg0069 Год назад

If you watch closely when she gets "stilled", you will see that our Mr. bad man makes a motion with the fingers on his left hand like he is tying a knot. Then tells our favorite blue sister that it must be agony to sense the source just out of reach. If she were stilled she would not be able to even know it was there except for the memory, shielded she can still sense it but not touch it. Then again, with some of the changes they have made who knows.

@tw7998 Год назад

@@bulldawg0069 I will rewatch the scene, thanks. I thought she was stilled because I thought moiraine lied to lan! That was how I explained the lie. Also surely the bond wouldn't be broken if the shield was simply tied off?

@bulldawg0069 Год назад

@@tw7998 Since the bond is a product of the one power and she is shielded from touching it might feel like the bond is broken. But, with some of the changes that have been made not real sure about that yet. Only other thing that might be at play is the might have Nynaeve Heal Moraine and restore her ability to channel. But, that's just me trying to figure out what they are thinking on changes.

@sketch2002 Год назад

@@bulldawg0069 I'm still not sure either way, but wanted to point out that Moirane masked her bond when she took Rand to the Eye of the World. If she was shielded while it was masked and the masking is done with the power, then she cannot unmask it until she breaks through the shield.

I'm not sure now, who died from a cut to the cheek?@@Deuwl

@Deuwl Год назад

@@bozimsaho5590 Moiraine killed the Fade when they were playing cat and mouse. IMO, it would've been more horrifying to see fades as they are in the books. Fighting headless, taking a long time to die. Moiraine is basically defenseless in hand to hand combat. That's the job of the warders. They seem to have nerfed what should be Captain Americas when it comes to martial arts. Lan should've been able to kill both warders or at least have stalemate.

@bozimsaho5590 Год назад

I agree about seeing the Fades fight on even when headless. I'm just not sure what the cost/practicalities would be to do that and make it look good. Maybe someone will put the question to them/Rafe about whether it was a cost restriction or just a choice. I'll put Moiraine down to a combination of luck, and wariness by the Fades. My deadly comment is because Lan couldn't take them both (I take it you meant the Fades, not Warders), but he hasn't got the edge the bond gives him either@@Deuwl

@Deuwl Год назад

Well if they had cut the made up storyline with Logain and his capture and just spent the cgi on some Mydraal effects which wouldn't be too hard to edit out head out in post and also use the cgi to do warder cloak it would've been better. No need to show Logain. There's heaps of better scenes to spend the cgi on later on@@bozimsaho5590

Very exciting beginning!

She did say that she thinks Egwene needs to loosen up, right? The characters continue to feel right to me. Especially Nynaeve, my favorite forever, SO stubborn and angry and afraid and determined to do things on her own terms. (Ugh, the dishwater! But she *would*.)

Thanks for your reaction, which largely mirrored my own. I'm loving the season so far. If I may make one suggestion for future reaction videos, it would be nice if the sound level of the clips you play matched your own sound level. Right now your own voice is quite a bit louder than the volume of the clips you show, and the transitions are a bit jarring. Maybe something to look at in future videos? Thanks in advance! 🙂

@darrensanderson1031 Год назад

I really am loving how they're just showing things like the Alanna Threesome and Adeleas'.... thirsting... as perfectly normal and not shying away from it, while also not making it gratuitous like GoT did. It's just like "Yep, this is a thing, it's perfectly normal and we don't actually need to dwell on it, but it's here" Though admittedly, me being poly and Ace may have something to do with that mix of reactions :P I'm also really liking what they're doing with Liandrin. She's so much more three dimensional than in the books, I'm really digging it. I do have a couple of gripes for Ep 2/3, but I'll wait until your reaction vids for those episodes before I say anything ;) Overall though, I'm loving this adaptation :)

@talmanes4589 Год назад

I'm enjoying this season more than s1 for sure, though to be fair I enjoyed the first half of s1 also. It was only in the back half where it just fell apart for me. I like that they dialed up the violence and action. It feels a lot less YA than s1 did. The storylines so far in s2 are a lot closer to the books for the characters whose stories didn't go completely off the rails in s1. It's going to take some time to get Mat and Rand back even close to their book stories but for Nynaeve, Egwene, Elayne and Perrin, s2 isn't far off the books at all. If they can adapt the rest of it as close as they are those stories, I'd be more than happy.

@shauntempley9757 Год назад

When I saw Nyneave drinking that glass of dirty water, I thought it is a totally Maori woman thing to do when being told to do something by someone in authority. Even my own mother, her cousins and aunties and almost all of my cousins would do that, and flip the bird at Alanna at the same time to provoke her. A Maori man in that situation would either just walk out, or toss the drink all over her because of how Alanna was speaking to her in that moment, or stand there all day not touching it.
