#WheelofTime #WoTTube #TrailerGaidon
After exhaustively watching every reaction I could find, I’m struck how yours is somehow the most emotive despite being an animation. XD
I'm a 51 year old man with tears in my eyes ,so so happy!
41 here and I had to stay an extra 15 minutes of my lunch break today to compose myself. All the kids poking at the details... When I started these books in the mid 90s I never thought it would even be possible to put this story on screen. I never even wanted anyone to do it because I knew it would never live up to the story I loved. After seeing this couldn't be more excited. I expect there to be huge changes because there have to be for the story to work but the trailer shows me that these people understand the scope of the story they are telling.
60, same!
Ditto…😁
@@brandontaylor3252 The showrunner, Rafe Judkins, called this "another turning of the Wheel". I like that interpretation, as it shows that he understands the heart of the story he's adapting for the screen. The guy's apparently a fan, and he has Harriet McDougal (Robert Jordan's wife and editor) and Brandon Sanderson as consulting producers for the show. Like you, I was hesitant at first. All the other failed fantasy book adaptations (The Shannara Chronicles, anyone?) certainly didn't help. But with this, I'm cautiously optimistic. Excited, even.
At 8:00 that's Peter Franzen. He plays Kerene Nagashi's warder. I'm guessing this is him kissing her ring and crying after she dies (presumably killed when Logain breaks out?)
You're reaction when you realise Lan has put himself in front of Nynaeve to protect her is literally the best!
Okay I'm just glad I finally found a UA-camr putting respect on Nynaeve's name 💖 I love her so much
I don’t know how an avatar has been able to convey so much emotion 😭😭 but I felt every scream 😭😭😭❤️❤️
I literally lost it when you said ‘Look at Mother Fuckin Siuan’. Ohhhh my lord. Keep up the great work Yer awesome
I’m 78. Your nerdy passionate response to this trailer set my WOT expectations of 19November extraordinarily high for this turning of the wheel of time. I began EOTW innocently in 1994 and have read all of the series multiple times since then, as well as, l listened to the all the audible books on long walks. I appreciate your WOT joyous reaction enormously as it resonates with my own reaction. My favorite female character is Nyneave, She is awesome throughout the series. I particularly liked when she healed unconsciously that which had never been healed in 3000 years, as well as when she resourcefully defeated a seasoned forsaken in direct combat . I had a room for Jordancon2021, but canceled my flight at the last moment to Atlanta. I have enjoyed the informal in lobby gathering of the WOT JordanCon fans and youtubers . I had hoped to see Lezbi Nerdy in person. I have enjoyed your youtube takes of the WOT so much.
Late to viewing this, but your reaction video is probably my favourite at this point! “You can save yourself actually!” -favourite reaction. 😍
You are so darn CUTE!! ❤️❤️❤️ I was just as excited myself watching the video. It looks sooooo good!!!
The Logain sequence: somehow Moirainne, Lan and Nynaeve encounter the Aes Sedai transporting Logain in a cage. While there, Logain's supporters attack the Aes Sedai "caravan" to try and free him. Some sisters tie off their weaves to go help with the battle (showing that weaves can be tied), leaving only a green and red sister to oversee Logain's shield. He manages to escape the shield (showing that tying off a weave is not as strong as channelling it, also a precedent for a certain Well battle in a later season), killing the green sister (Korene Nagashi). The man crying is her warder and we also see him trying to kill Logain in a quick shot, the one dual wielding axes (thus showing what a grieving warder will do once his Aes Sedai is killed).
YES
A great way to show the audience early on what the death of an Aes Sedai does to her Warder and how destructive a man who can channel can be, without lots of talky talky exposition.
Also an opportunity to give us some Lan/Nyneave interactions, since Moraine seems to be out of commission for a bit.
Thumbs up from me.
@@ncljiljana "Show, don't tell" is always best wheneer possible
Nice summary. Very good.
I hope you are right that sounds good.
I don't know what I enjoyed more, the trailer, or you squeeeeeing. Both had me grinning from ear to ear. I'm hyped! Can't wait for November.
Watching your reaction mirroring my own, I started crying and screaming all over again!! It’s really happening!!! The show is for REAL and it looks AMAZING!!! Eeeeeeekkkkk!!!!
This is so much more than I was expecting! I was expecting just a teaser but we got a whole ass trailer! I'm so excited! I saw this an hour ago and I'm still freaking out!!!
Love the excitement! WOT is about to blow up, excited to share all this with old and new fans. Great video!
I’m just smiling the whole time watching this! Your reactions are so pure and nerdy in the best way possible and I recognize so many of my own first reactions. I especially loved your reaction to Siuan, because I totally freaked out about that shot too, she looks so damn amazing! And Nynaeve and Egwene fighting, perfect shot!
the part where the green sister is stopping the arrows. she's in a circle. you can see the connection if you look closely. atleast that's what it looked like to me lol :D
I caught that too, I love how that looks if it's how they portrait a circle of channellers! I think that's Alanna maybe?
I think this is either part of the prequel or the capturing of Logain.
@@aquaverdea yea I think that's allanah
@@dragonrune2257 yea I think it has to do with logain
I have to say your reaction video to the trailer has been the best I have seen. I have been waiting for this trailer for years and share your excitement. The thumping stick 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 priceless
I was on the on the way to work when the trailer launched. I have never ran up a set of escalators so fast from the O-train to St. Laurent Mall to connect to the WiFi. Nyneave is my girl and I am soooo ready to ship her and Lan!!!
"Matt. you idiot." I loved that. The idiot we love but constantly want to pinch his head.
I think you are seeing some rewriting we can look forward to. On the run I think they will meet up with the Logain capture party. So Nynaeve shows up with them. Different path this turning. The river floating scene reminds me of saidar embracing (remember the river flowing and directing metaphor). This trailer look spectacular.
I laughed so hard when she said "Matt, you idiot." because we all know and feel that hahaha!
Lezbi Nerdy - Your reaction is the best I've seen. This was AMAZING.
this was my favorite reaction video.
like, by far.
it was SO PURE AND GOOD.
I saw you a little on the live chat with Dusty Wheel. You're reaction matched mine🤣
Very few people are comenting (1) the awesome score for the trailer; and (2) the general vibe of it. How it conveys the epic stakes of what's about to come. That is so important for a TWoT trailer.
Loved it.
Your reactions brought me so much joy!
I absolutely loved your live reaction! Perfect!!!
The thing about Mashadar that I really like from what I think I can see of it in the trailer is how it _is_ a part of the city, Mashadar _is_ Shadar Logoth, that is what the effect conveys to me, that is something my imagined version of Mashadar doesn't do. I love the way it moves along the surfaces of the structures to pull this off.
I love the look of this and I am so excited, I am 58 and first read Jordan when he was writing Conan novels and have been waiting for something like this for a long time
I love how giddy you are! I had the same sentiment the entire time lol
I think our words were all gone during the first 3 or 4 viewings of this trailer. What we all need to remember is this is a Teaser Trailer, so they threw a bunch of scenes in here from the entire season, which will definitely show flashbacks and future visions, and they won't want to give away too much. Looks like they will expand Egwene, Nynaeve and Logain this first season, which I am fine with. All in all, I absolutely loved this. Egwene coming out of the pool was an amazing shot! Myrdraal is better than I could have expected. I am hoping Mashadar and some other aspects will be touched up CGI before release. SO PSYCHED!!!
I think it looks like a cute show. I'll probably watch it if I have time. :D
I was also really stoked to see Egwene and Nynaeve in the first shot, and to have Egwene so heavily featured in the trailer. Rand, Mat and Perrin were barely shown.
Also, the Hall of the Tower, and all the Sitters. SO LOVE IT.
Egwene coming out of the water, my guess would be its one of her dreams, cause if you note, the colors are the colors of the Aes Sedai. So a heavy forshadowing of the life she will end of taking.. at the center of all
That is epic, I have no other words. The eggy coming out of the water could be a example of her "dreaming", which Is a great way to give subtle foreshadowing. If that's what they are doing I am all for it. The Shadow spawn look really great, everything works for me in this trailer.
Nice catch! I hadn't thought about Egwene beginning to "dream" earlier on, but that does make sense.
It’s really neat in slow motion too!
You are a treasure. Such an entertaining reaction. I definitely squealed a few times as well lol.
Lezbi, thanks for the great content leading up to this. I've seen the trailer 20? times now and I really appreciated hearing your reaction, especially after watching a lot of your content. I don't think non readers can possibly understand the joy that this process is bringing to the readers. Obviously we all want the series to be excellent... but at this point the excitement has jumped the shark and it's hard to contain the ridiculousness of it all.
OMG the laughs that your nerdy excitement brought to me!! Thank you, if possible I believe my excitement has ticked up a notch. 😁👍🏿🖖🏿
Love you Jenny! I watched you say this five times: "Lookit girl, Nynaeve! Don't be scared, Lan'll save ya. You can save yourself actually." YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think the woman's circle bathes girls in the colors of the Ajah. Though maybe tossing them into the winespring on the tail end of winter is some hazing they do.
Maybe the river part isn't literal at all, Nyneave or no, but a mental landscape of imagining embracing Saidar? Since if you struggle the rapids are gonna kill you, but if just embrace it and float above it you survive.
Suian doesn't have a rainbow shawl, but that collar is awesome.
I've seen some speculation that th white tower has a lot more influence around the world, so the women's circle uses the ajah colors in their initiation because of that.
Personally, I think that scene is actually at the white tower and I some sort of initiation to being a Novice.
The collar Suian has is the rainbow shawl. The colors are just paler than I imagined, but they are there.
@@brooksroyall5920 is it just me or does the one Grey Sister on the right of her trio look like a possible wise one, bulky skirt, white blouse, head scarf.
Egwene is a dreamer too right? Could this be foreshadowing her future promotion?
Someone brought up that Egwene has the gift of foretelling. Maybe while floating down the river, as they show with her eyes closed, she's having a foretelling? Having all the colors represents her becoming Amyrlin.
Remember the audio only of Egwene and Perrin jumping into water. It'd gotta be at Shadar Logoth with that scene of her running to the top of the wall. There's no where to go and there's a river around the city.
The distinct swordtype used in some shots appears to be inspired by swords from Antiquity, the Greek Kopis-sword or the Iberian Falcata.
Love your scream at the end - not only is it coming on the 19th but 3 episodes OMG
I got goosebumps again! And this is after S2 being done! I am binging your videos. 🎉❤
Just when I was starting to calm down a bit, I see your vid!! 🙌🏾😁 I think your review alone will turn me into a Nynaeve stan.
Your reaction to seeing Nyneave and Egwene in the opening shot was priceless 🤣️🤣️
this is by far the best reaction video i've seen. :D
U rock, LBN. Your reactions are perfect.
"All over the world there are different names for it." I thought they were referring to different names for channelers like Aes Sedai and Wise Ones, etc.
I love seeing my friends happy!
Season 1 ends with Rand lightly channeling. Calling it.
Season 1 might end at Falme, so yeah, lightly.
Maybe him fighting in the sky ?
@Lezbi Nerdy >>> FWIW: While I _DEFINITELY AM EXCITED_ to see The *Wheel of Time* series, your reaction to this trailer reminds me of my initial reaction to the first trailer for Denis Villeneuve's *DUNE.* 👍👍
That’s not Moiraine coming into the Tower, but her leaving the Hall, after some kind of verdict. In the first shot of the Hall, you can see her and some greens and reds stand before the hall, in the other shot the Sitters visible in the background face the windows, having their backs turned on the leaving Moiraine. I am SO curious what the writers made up there!
We know Moiraine and Siuan had to come up with a reason for Moiraine to leave the tower to search for Rand in New Spring without giving up the goose to the Black Ajah. I am thinking that this is that scene.
@@llewinidas totally agree; I am just curious for what exactly, and how much that will make the series stray from the books.
Now that this noob has finished reading the series, I’m backtracking to watch as many WoT videos as possible. This may be my favorite of them all. Your enthusiasm is amazing! I love it so much. 🤣🥰
I seem to remember hearing the pushing from the cliff is an additional ritual for Egwene's coming of age.
My fave bits of the trailer reactions is Egwene emerging from her FORESHADOWING PAINT BATH as well as the MYRDRAAL JUMP SCARE
I can't believe it. Someone pronouncing Siuan correctly... you're the best!
Discovered you on the Dusty Wheel and your love for Nyneave had me coming here to see your reaction. She is the Queen and I adore seeing love for her.
So it's more a response to something you said on his marathon but I felt it better to say on your own channel. Her hair! Yes, I adore how they kept it natural and braided it in a way to fit it. I was so hoping they would, mostly for the future. Can you imagine what her hair will look like when (spoilers for later obviously) it gets chopped off? Her hair all short, cute and curly? The braid looks stunning but I can't wait to see her pull off the curls now. Just gotta wait about 7 years, sigh.
Alanna was the sister who used channeling to stop the arrows. Is the warder with the axe Taylor (the actor who plays her second warder)? If not, it is Peter Franzen. But he does not look like the same person who was crying
You are just fucking adorable! I love your content and your reaction made me cry!
„Be strong“, Nynaeve says before pushing Egwene.
Isn‘t that the phrase in the testing for Accepted? S1 should be too soon for that, but the river and colors-of-Ajahs has the feel of a WT testing to me!
You and I had the same reaction to Egwene coming out of the colored water. I’m betting it’s supposed to be a white tower ceremony hard to see any grey, but it looks like it might be the ajah colors, and that dress looks like it would’ve been white before she went in.
16:45 the warders and the soldiers were people too! *sulks*
Ohhh watching you watch that was so fun especially after I already saw it so many times so I was waiting how you would react to certain parts squeeeee 💜💜💜
5:45 This is my theory on why Nyneave is pushing Egwain in the river. They are going to cut out Nyneaves block and just make her a true wilder, she know Egwain will channel one day, so she is teaching her (in some wilder fashion) how to surrender to the river the same way you surrender to sidar.
I looove your channel!
1. This was so fun to watch and relive the excitement of seeing the trailer again the first time.
2. Amazon is dumping solid gold down the toilet by not dubbing this in Korean for all those Daniel Henney fans over there! I would know - my father Tywin Quintara allegedly does it all the time.
Still screaming, this looks really good
I had to rewind to watch the trailer cos I was laughing so much at ur reaction. Best noises ever
I bet the paint pool is a dream. It doesn’t seem like TR custom to me. The colors are the Ajah colors.
Looks like maybe part of the test for accepted or indeed a dream sequence. The colors looked more lik the colors of the power rather than the ajah colors. The river part was obviously Egwene surrendering to Saidar. At least i think it is.
The accepted test is my thought as well. "You come to us. Washed clean in heart and soul."
Should have read a bit deeper before making my own comment. These are all the same theories I suggested. Connecting it to the women's council makes no sense to me at all. I mean, it's the women's council that tries the hardest to not allow the kids to leave with Moiraine. Instead of it being part of any test, this could be a cleansing ceremony that all initiates of the White Tower go through upon becoming Novices.
Peter Franzen is the actor playing the warder you did not know. I thought it was strange they got Peter Franzen for such a small part. He is a finnish actor, very famous, played the King of Norway on Vikings.
My guess is that we are going to see the first attempt at capturing Logain so that we truly know what a male channeler can do and why there is a Red Ajah...also, what happens to warders when their bonded dies. so in one word: worldbuilding.
He will probably be heavily featured in the episode he is in...maybe they also allude to the fact some green sisters have relationships with the warders?
I suspect he's going to end up being Elyas
@@blueajahbeetle2342 Or that! Because it would be a WASTE just to have him for two episodes. He has a powerful voice, I tell you.
@@blueajahbeetle2342 You're saying he'd play both a warder _and_ Elyas? Why would any show do that?
@@commbir5148 because Elyas was a warder and it would be a more streamlined way to introduce him. Just speculation tho.
Hell yes let's go!!!! I love it, zero complaints. The music is fantastic
Utter joy… Best WOT reaction video…tai’shar Nyneave…
I think they're diverging from books right away, Nyneave is teaching Egwene how to channel, "it's like a river" and surrender.
Which would be a major change as we know Nyneave doesn't surrender to Saidar until going into the water in the coach (thanks to the Spider...)
What if the clip at 8:52 is Egwene being initiated into Tar Valon as a novice? You can see boots on the ledge behind her, and there are all the ajah colors represented. I know it doesn’t track with the book but it could work. They could even have the pool be a ter’angreal and we get some trippy foreshowing like Lady Galadriel’s mirror in LoTR.
For the bingo, mordeth was kind of shown in the shadow... I don't know if we see Aldieb. But we see a Fade and Aiel.
Edit. Spelling
What if the screenshot at 19:15 then the one at 17:50 are Nynaeve and Egwene catching Lan trying to procure horses to get the boys out of town on Winternight? She thinks Moiraine is a witch and doesn’t trust Lan.
There must be some money going to the winespring inn since we all know that nothing beats that two rivers tabacc 😁. Love watching peoples reaction to this and I am really happy that the show will come soon!
Really enjoyed the reaction, thanks!
Egwene was apprentice Wisdom to Nyn.
Pretty sure that push off a cliff thingy was part of her training for that and not a woman's circle thingy.
The “HOLY FUCK EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!l” was so my reaction! Also, I think the Egwene river scenes are her Dreaming from the start, giving her a better reason for going with Moiraine.
If Mordeth is Mashadar, then you get a Bingo! Otherwise no Braid Tug, no Thom, no Loail (at least not truly visible)...
Loial is seen at the horizon by the Waygate
I think Egwene is being "washed clean" during a certain acceptance ceremony in in white tower. Washed clean by the water yet being painted in the colors of the tower. So much of the books happens in the characters head. To be successful this show will have to find unique ways to turn those inner thoughts into outward moments.
oh my god, oh my god , oh my god -
I’m pretty sure Nyneave is pushing egwene into the river to recreate the spark that started Nyneave’s channeling in a pseudo ceremony to welcome her to wisdomhood after she gets to braid her hair. Nyneave probably does it subconsciously.
way too exciting!
This reaction? Instant sub.
Breathe ... remember to breathe 😁🙃😎❤
I suspect that after the fallout at Shadar Logoth, Nynaeve and Moiraine end up banding together with the Red and Green sisters trying to capture Logain. Rather than having them just chase after the boys, this gives them more agency and allows more time for them to have friction early on. We know that Moiraine gets injured, and she's in the overhead shot with the arrows, so she probably takes her injury while helping with Logain, and Nynaeve tags along. The shot of Nynaeve in the fog is probably post-Logain where all the Aes Sedai are mowed down and she somehow survived. She looks traumatized.
Best reaction video😂🤣
I think the Green Channeling air to stop the arrows is Alanna Mosvani
I have a theory that rather than seeing Logain in Caemlyn, some of the group will encounter the sisters escorting him on the road.
As I’m watching this it’s a week from today that it comes out. Going to be the longest week ever😔
November 19, huh? So, Amazon Prime will be giving me my lone birthday gift a week early this year it seems.
9:00 I doubt that's the women's circle. Why would they have a pool of obviously tended died waters of the Ajahs? It makes no sense at all, considering the council's distrust of Moirane. It could be part of a "cleansing ritual" for initiates to the White Tower upon becoming a Novice. It could also be the first glimpse of Egwene's dreaming ability, and this is how she enters Tel'aran'rhiod. Keep in mind, with all of the filming they've already done, we could be seeing glimpses of scenes from as far as midway into the second season.
12:58 Could be Logain, but that doesn't make sense with Ny'naeve and Lan being there. Could also be a scene after they arrive in Fal Darra, and it's the Trolloc army that is beseiging the city from the Blight and led by Ba'alzamon. But even with that, I don't recall red sisters being in Fal Darra unless they were part of the retinue traveling with Siuan.
16:30 I get the point you are making, but I think you are also wrong. Keep in mind that the entire reason Davram Bashere alligned himself with Rand was Rand's promise to hand over Mazrim Taim after Tarmon Gaidon to pay for his crimes. When Logain shows up and Rand agrees to protect him as well, Davram advises against this and points out the crimes of both false dragons. When Rand overrides this advice, it becomes the first instance of Davram pulling away from Rand. There were many reminders of Taim's crimes. Meanwhile, Logain himself speaks of his crimes and the price he paid for his belief of being the Dragon Reborn. Some of the women who end up bonded with Asha'man were part of the campaign against Logain, and they give hints at his crimes and how he could be held responsible for the chaos in Ghealdan which allowed the Prophet to rise to power and causes the Whitecloaks to see it as a territory of conquest in creating a nation of their own. This is also reflected a lot in Queen Alliandre's POVs prior to her abduction by the Shadio. Also, after Alliandre's pledge of fealty to Perrin, the issue of Perrin serving Rand... and Rand having forgiven and protected Logain... is discussed between her and Faile.
19:39 Those double-headed hand axes are annoying as fuck. With all the detail they've put into this, why would they present a weapon that's not once mentioned in the books, nor is it logical or feasible. What warrior would wield a weapon that stands a massive chance of harming himself with a mere block by their opponent, let alone two of them? Not to mention the absolutely unnecessary weight that would slow and wear him down.
19:46 That Myrrdral is incredible. I was concerned with how they would be portrayed, and this is almost perfect.
I've quite enjoyed the animoji thing and I'm surprised at how much emotion/expression it shows! Nnniiice
My guess is that the first shot where Nyneave pushes Egwene, as well as the later shot in the river, is a "Within their mind" representation when meditating or something and Egwene learning to channel. In the later shot Egwene has surrendered to the flow of the river. I am 99% sure there is no part in the books where Nyneave teaches Egwene, but they are changing a bunch, especially Nyneave's story in the first two books because of the increase of Logain's role.
Both Nynaeve and Eqwene have knives/daggers in that scene.
Others have said this, and you may already think this...but I believe that the whole Nyaneave and Egwene scene of her pushing her into the river, her floating down the river (the use of the One Power) and then rising up with all the colors (of the Ahahs) may represent a dream that she has about something that will happenn possibly later. I've taken what others have said and some ideas of my own. Just a theory.
The shot with the guy in the cage, was one of the Aiel. I think. Possibly.
Also, they are releasing the first three episodes on November 19th. Ah, so good.
The Last Battle is coming...
^__^
*popcorn*
I'm betting the first scene is some sort of Village Wisdom initiation
At 1:11 Emonds Field celebrating life. At 1:12 the sisters cremating the dead. (It looks like all but Moiraine are holding Fire with Fire on the chests of the dead?) At 1:41 Moiraine is watching Lan move from the three Trollocs he just killed into the next one they attack. I think that's why the exagerrated movement there. (at 1:44 you can see the three dead on the upper far left.) I am so excite!
