Robert Jordan was a MASSIVE Disney Fan!
I so much prefer when main characters reunite, marry and/or die off-screen. Otherwise we would've missed over 200 pages of battle strategy. Taim and Demandred were obviously different people from the get-go. These book covers are surprisingly accurate. Amazing how Sanderson immediately captured Mat's character. How boring. It's so obvious who killed Asmodean. To be fair, all women do act like that.
🤣 the second and third are gold! 🤣
"Is it just me or is Semirhage..." Nicky, be very careful what you say next. "kind of sexy" I'm going to have to report this conversation.
😂😂😂
Oh my God i LOVE your friend. She is correct. The Steppin stuff was where it broke the worst.
I think it was all well written and acted, just too much screen time dedicated to exposition about the warder bond, in a series where every minute is precious
@@ElliotEdits Well, you're far more generous than me but each to their own :-) None of it was necessary, even within the context of their own show - they contrived an event to show the warder bond effect.. then turned it into a soap opera. If you had to have steppin, at least make him go berserk properly and be true to how the bond is supposed to work lol. He should have died with those stupid axes in hand and a snarl on his face.
Man, I really hate Mat as a character, I wish there wasn't so much material on him I have to clean my hands after typing that.
Would need one of Elayne's long baths to wash away the sin of saying such a thing 😂
Better afternoon would be requesting the way of kings/stormlight archive
...and a preview copy of book 5 appearing in the reading room. Couldn't argue with that 😅
This reminds me of the process you need to go through to request something from the Library of Congress.
Its a similar kind if thing. The British library is a repository of every piece of printed media published in the UK. Basically a massive archive that the public is also allowed to access.
Want to make a video about reading the Wheel of Time in the Library of Congress now 😅
The Catalogue of the Dwarves (from which Tolkien got the names of the dwarves in the Hobbit) comes from the poem Voluspa in the Poetic Edda. As far as I know, it’s not in the Prose Edda.
You are quite correct 😅 I misspoke, it is the Poetic Edda
@@ElliotEditsNo worries. Just wanted to clear that up for the audience.
Great video.
Thank you!
Aw man, it’s so sad how jazz wont get to see how incredible Natasha o keefe is at Lanfear
She's really missing out on that performance!
I felt the same way. I loved the beginning of S1 and HATED episode 5 and 6. Gosh I was so disappointed. Episode 7 was ok, but then we got episode 8. I wasn't hyped for season 8 at all. I am happy that they did better with season 2 although the weakest bits are those that are not in the books (the Moraine without powers drivel). Still bummed they take away all of Rand's awesome moments (no fights, no OP power displays etc.), but S2 was much better than S1. They fleshed out Liadrin better than she was in the books and let's face it, they nailed Lanfear. I am very curious what they will do in S3! As long as Rand doesn't get stiffed... again.
The show is getting better with every season! Especially now we're getting into the best books!
The sad part is Jazz won't see the best episodes from S1 or S2 if she keeps stopping halfway through!
Also when are you coming back over to our side of the pond? Def missed you at WoTCon
I do think she'd like the Seanchan storylines if she continued watching
The fomo was very real this side of the pond I can tell you 😂 Just started a new job so the timing hasn't been great, but do plan to attend another WoTCon as soon as possible! Are you coming to MalkieriCon?
@@ElliotEdits Sadly it's not in the cards for this year. We have a conflicting trip to Korea around the same time. I hope I can make it next year though! Congratulations on the new job!
Thank you! Have a great time in Korea!
Mat and Perrin really suffered in season one because of the “who is the dragon?” mystery. In season two Perrin got some development but Mat get nothing. His storyline in season two doesn’t really work.
I feel particularly bad for Perrin's character, because he's got such amazing storylines coming up in season 3
Huh, I do find Gawyn's actions and attitude towards Rand quite reasonable. Guess I'm not a fan.
I think he's a bit too quick to accept one version of events and ignore others
@@ElliotEdits He thought he lost his mother. It's perfectly reasonable to believe, a mentally unstable man who led a foreign army in your home killed your mother, the reigning monarch. And disbelieving Elayne is also excusable, when she is head over heels the same mentally unstable man, who can brainwash people.
@@ElliotEdits Also glad that you responded 1 year after you published the video. Good n you.
@@doomdrake123 Not got much going on lol 😅
I was really hoping season 2 would be an improvement, but sadly it fell very short! Glad to see your content again cheers!
I still think it was a big improvement, but watching one episode on its own did make me think the first few episodes were definitely written to be binged. On their own, they feel incomplete
Lol "so much exposition." I've been saying there isn't enough! Can't please every book fan I guess 😂 But I loved this video. It's good to see you back Elliot!
Less exposition... More lore lol 🤣 Thank you Lauren! Good to be back! ☺️
Welcome back Elliot. Hey Lauren. I also thought ep 1-2 were a bit slow. However, they did need to provide exposition in the way they did.
@@philc2729 Yes, I agree they were a bit slow, but I will always want "5 more minutes of exposition" lol
The Tam / Rand forest stuff was clearly filmed and then cut for time, such a shame I agree
BUT I will say she should watch episodes 2&3 as we did when it was released to get the full effect!
One of my favourite scenes from the first few chapters. Definitely aligns the audience with Rand
I won't give up 😂
Pleeeeeeeease I want an episode 2 opinion form Jazz
I'm sure if there's enough demand, she can be convinced 😅
@@ElliotEdits I'll get her chocolats 😍 or beer 🍻
Moooooor @@ElliotEdits
@@ElliotEdits it really seems like she should get a chance to see Lanfear :D
@@anaritamarcal1626 Bribery is always a good shout
"he looks very different" Ahahahahahah
She's not wrong 🤣
The original GOT is actually Queen Margot by Dumas.
@@lecapetien3223 I'll have to check that out
Wow
Cheers
"Perrin and Faile have such a healthy relationship" "Of course Elayne is the best girl, duh" "You know, Nynaeve started out as a really cool character but gradually grew more and more annoying"
Love these! Great shouts
Gawyn being a bettayer would be great, because in my mind he looks like Rolf from Sound of Music. And he is almost as much of a misled turd in the books. Where I'm going with this is that I think his and Egwene's relationship is simply one between ywo young people who are barely not children anymore - much like when Rolf sings "I am 17 going on 18, I'll take care of you" to Liesel. It's two twitterpated young people and therefore their relationship makes good sense to me. An 18-year-old woman having an intense crush on a young man? Them both acting stupid at times? Though the WoT fandom often complains about this, I think it makes perfect sense and RJ wrote the main characters doing dumb stuff to remind us that they are so very young, that they have little experience when they start, and that they are very very human.
Well now I'm imagining a Wheel of Time musical!
Man i just can’t do that in an afternoon i can do a 40 hour work week throwing bricks in a concrete heater easier than reading that book in a 3 day span ,i was even going to make a joke about it but I can’t …I should read more
Sounds like audiobooks might be the answer
There is no evidence of this, Tolkien knew that celtic is the all-inclusive mess, anyway.The elves already existed in germanic/northern european mythology.Why he needed to copy red-eyed tuathas or small pixies?
I think the influence of Celtic mythology and its influence on Tolkien's writing is pretty evident. We're all inspired to some level by what we read and find interesting
@@ElliotEdits The celts almost never were interested in writing.After all, the ancient druids banned it...And the people from the British Isles were not reffered as the ''celts'' by the ancient historians.I really doubt that for an ethnicity-centric Englishman, non-english cultures were important (on the Island of Great Britain). It seems that England was united by the guy named Elfweard(and later finally by Aethelstan) in the 10th century.
Great series!!
No argument here 😅
Have they sorted out the ransomware attack that wrecked the online catalog yet?
I think they've made a lot of changes and have much tighter cyber security now!
Pity it wasn't a hard cover book! Think this one won't stay nice for long.;-(
Depends how popular the book is 😅
@@ElliotEdits It's Wheel of Time! Naturally it's VERY popular.😌I mean, it's a TV show now! Isn't that the nr.1 reason for Gen Z to check it out? Otoh, reading is done by listening nowadays isn't it?🤔
Thank god for the British 😊🇬🇧
*insert national anthem
So I googled it. A used copy in very good condition... £3.16p inc. p&p.
An absolute bargain!
Wait, you can't take the books home at all? Like wdym I have to read the whole Dune series in one sitting? ☠️
Afraid so 😅
you can read in multiple sessions though if you want to read once a week you need to order it every week
Its a special kind of library that's basically a respository of every piece of printed media published in the uk, including newspapers. Its a really great source for historians, sudents, linguists ect but not necessarily meant for everyday readers. You can go to your local library for books you want to take home.
That's not the wheel of time
Pretty sure it was... A very convincing copy of not 🤣
Wow they actually look taken care of. My uni had a beautiful collection of old stuff that just gets thrown out after they apparently become obsolete. Absolutely loved the old books, info was a bit on the outdated side but provided far understandable wording, illustrations, compacted knowledge, and smell triggered my sinuses but they were just the best.
Always on the hunt for beautifuul antiquarian books!
Better way.. playing golf ⛳️
I have to admit, I find golf duller than Crossroads of Twilight
I know she just started reading because you convinced her last year, right? Did I miss the video about what she thought about it? Very excited we have a new fan!🥰
We do have a video where Jazz discusses her thoughts on the series! ua-cam.com/video/7c9QVj8c-Fg/v-deo.html
@@ElliotEdits Awesome! I must have missed that? I hope I didn't forget seeing it! Odd! Going to check it out asap. Stay cool, Elliot!🦾
If there's a fire the room sucks all the air out of the room and you.😂
Loads of humans, but only limited copies of the Magna Carta
The hell is a british library reading card and why do i want one
It's free too!
@@ElliotEdits well i know what im doing this weekend, thanks a bunch!
@@datcheesecakeboi6745 have a great time! Check out the treasures of the British Library - some really cool stuff in there
bridish library? what happened to the T mate
😂 fair cop
I used to work in Hum 1 25 years ago when it was not opened to general Public. Miss it and team xxxx hope Joshua Lunn is well.
Must have been a cool place to work
Wanking
Sir, this is a library
So..... It's a reference library? 😕
I believe so
Just finished the first Eye of the World, cool book
Amazing! The Great Hunt is even better in my opinion... and just wait for book 4!
@@ElliotEditsabout 1/3 of the way through it at the moment and I can’t put it down it’s so intense
Na the best way to spend a Saturday afternoon would be getting a Discworld book and being able to read it in the British Museum Reading Room.
Haha, that's a shout! The British Museum reading room is spectacular!
Could not think of a worse way of spending a saterday afternoon, Watching paint dry would be a better choice.
But what colour? 🤔
Saturday afternoon? more like summer. twice.
Only two days of summer in England 😂
@@ElliotEdits as a greek I prefer the English summer :)
There is a massive massive storage facility in Boston Spa where the library holds most of the books etc. so much of the library is not held onsite in London which is I guess why you need to order days beforehand.
Now you've got me concerned about the carbon cost of requesting a book
@@ElliotEdits search Tom Scott British Library, it has a good view inside the storage facility in Boston Spa, very cool.
Pub, water skiing, power boat shopping, bear hunting, giraffe tickling.
Can't argue, being able to get a pint at the library would only improve the experience
cant be the largest collection in the world if you cant restrict people taking books home tbf. Curious if you can reserve the book at the reading room for multiple days though
Interesting point 🤔 Last time I checked you could book multiple days, providing somebody else hasn't requested it. But you would have to pick it up and drop it off each time you left the reading room
used to have volumes 1 too 10 in hardback with the original covers which can't be bought except for second hand. Then I got some books from a charity shop and brought home some friends. A month later 6 volumes were eaten through by book worms. If you do same, make sure you put the books in air tight bag and freeze for 5-10 days to kill any insects
I get so many books second hand so this is very useful advice! Thank you!
@@ElliotEdits no problem its a lesson you learn once
IT's less a library, more a repository
True, but British Repository would sound so much worse 😂
Its all free as well? I think they buy and stock any book they dont have that you request, within reason.
Completely free, though you do need special permission to look at some of the really old and rare material
