"And it came to pass in those days, as it had come before and would come again, that the Dark lay heavy on the land and weighed down the hearts of men, and the green things failed, and hope died. And men cried out to the Creator, saying, O Light of the Heavens, Light of the World, let the Promised One be born of the mountain, according to the prophecies, as he was in ages past and will be in ages to come. Let the Prince of the Morning sing to the land that green things will grow and the valleys give forth lambs. Let the arm of the Lord of the Dawn shelter us from the Dark, and the great sword of justice defend us. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.”
there's a lot i love and a lot i don't like at all about this adaptation this moment though... beautiful. And as a book fan, I really appreciate that this is the moment he's doing archery practice
Same here, some amazing moments and also some head scratching ones as well. I think they did great with this moment for sure. The visual medium is so different. When I first read the books I thought " hmm gee I wonder if the character we started off in POV with will be the Dragon?" lol. Not much of a shocker, I thought it was cool that they could actually play up the mystery more in the show.
I never read the books, so this reveal was quite the surprise for me. They did a really wonderful job of hiding Rand’s ability to channel throughout the season. So naturally, I found myself shouting “Oh of course it’s Rand! How the hell did I not see that coming?” It’s so cliche, but man did I love it.
I love how the seer was like: nope no idea who the dragon reborn might be, when Moiraine asked her, but changed her minds within a second after Rand shows up
I was frustrated before, but this episode was REALLY good. It showed he knew he was the Dragon Reborn the moment he channeled. But he had a complex with his friends. Also his chuckling and snickering this episode showed some of the taint seeping into his psyche. Really well done visual adaptation, too bad other episodes suffered. As a book reader I surprisingly enjoyed this.
when I watched this scene, I was wondering why him being able to channel means he's definitely the Dragon? I mean, I understand it makes him a candidate, but why does it mean it's definitely him and not Egwene, or Nynaeve who are also channelers?
@@brandon7024 In the show it's really confusing. He checks the age and channeling parts, but in the show they haven't said anything about where the Dragon will be born (on the slopes of Dragonmount) and from whom (born of the Maiden), which are part of the prophecy. Just Min saying that she saw a baby that was "impossible". In episode 5 Rand is looking at the Karaethon Cycle in the library/books shop, which are the prophecies of the Dragon, but they don't explain it in the show and Moiraine treats all of them as very unreliable. They went a bit too extra with hiding him.
@@bluelight17 True, but I think the biggest part that wasn't very clear for non book readers was the flashback with Tam on Winters Night which planted the seeds in Rand's mind that he wasn't who he thought he was (because he was adopted)
@@brandon7024 bad writing. 😅 In the books is explained better. First of all, the dragon is always a man, so that leaves Egwene and Nyn out. There are more details about why he is the dragon in the books, the place he was born is one of them.
Earlier in the episode he's missing all his shots, I went "come on Rand is nuts with a bow, he should be hitting bull's-eye at that distance every shot" Then this scene, he found the flame in the void
@@Shadowkey392 He definitely doesn't realize he's the dragon reborn in the first book. He thinks he's just a man who can channel whom the aes sedai want to use as a false dragon.
@@Shadowkey392 no he doesn’t Rand didn’t even wonder if he was the dragon reborn until Moiraine told him in TGH and it took him like 2 whole books to accept it and believe it
I think is because in the show he need s to belive he is the dragon reborn, is the only way to save his friends, in the books he don t realy need to accept he is the dragon reborn, only accept what others call him the dragon reborn
God I love Rand. Josha has brought him to life. I started the show before I started the books, but now that I’m almost halfway through The Great Hunt, I think this show is incredible. They have done just fine with the restraints, time, and the insane amount of story to pull into one first season. I love this show. I love these stories. I love Rand al’Thor, and I will defend it to the ends of the earth
He is the King of Kings, Chief of Chiefs, Lord of the Morning, Coramoor of the Athan Miere, strongest of the taverens, leader of the Ash'amans (male channelers). The strongest person in the WOT world. While reading the books, his pov was intense and always gave me goosebumps. Even knowing that he will die soon, such confidence in this man.
They spend so long misleading people about the Dragon (To the point of both Moraine and Siuan appearing dumb) that this revelation really seems to come of out of nowhere. It is almost as if they do NOT want Rand to be the Dragon.
@@AkiraActual I don't want to see it cancelled. They can save it if they don't completely butcher Rands character. If they mess that up though...yikes all around
The thing is that they didn't put the necessary emphasis of why being the Dragon is such a burden. I mean NO weight is this cheap revelation nor why any man who can channel is like a walking nuke...
@@kingocto yeah, not a fan of how they played the Dragon mystery. In the book Moiraine never tells them one of them could be him, most of the first book is from Rand's perspective, so you see him having an identity crisis from the start due to what his dad said while injured. Also there are random consequences to first time channeling, and he feels like he is losing his mind when he notice his own weird behaviour and then fall sick. Nothing of this was in the show, all his personality ended up being Egwene, when it's actually his parents he mostly thinks about😕
Yeah unfortunately, finding out that one is the dragon reborn is not just a good thing....it is also super horrible too, knowing the burden you'll carry. Quetzalcoatl is back and Pacal Votan encoded it upon the lid of his tomb.
I am currently writing an ongoing fantasy book series where a divided empire is attacked by an invading horde of monsters. For the main character, I drew inspiration from several fantasy heroes like Rand al'Thor. Like Rand, my main protagonist has multiple love interests, wields immense magical power, is a leader of nations, and is the one who fights the main villain in the final battle.
How are people praising this as a "great reveal"? It's absolutely terrible and objectively makes no sense. Moiraine specifically says that you cannot trust anything Machin Shin says, yet her and Rand instantly believe he's the Dragon Reborn just because Machin Shin said so. And that's not to mention how the few hints and indications that Rand is the Dragon Reborn are only shown to us AFTER the reveal. You literally can't even say "oh yeah, the hints add up!" like you SHOULD be able to, because none of the hints were even shown to us until the plot twist had already happened. It's literally lesson 101 in how NOT to write a plot twist. And then him being the Dragon Reborn amounts to nothing anyway, and he is completely overshadowed in the final episode by having his epic demonstration of power given to other characters. Why is the Dragon Reborn even necessary if five untrained women can take out up to 20'000 trollocs on their own in a matter of seconds? (Which also makes no sense considering how, earlier in the show, seven fully trained Aes Sedai struggled so much against maybe a couple of hundred soldiers.) This is a mess, and you have to be deluding yourself to think otherwise. Robert Jordan's books deserved so much better.
As someone who loves Brandon Sanderson, but has yet to dive into the Wheel of Time, I had the same thoughts related to Machin Shin. As a viewer, all I could think at the time was "oh, well Rand is clearly being lied to because this is Machin Shin after all!". So that moment actually did not jell with me either no matter how dramatic/epic they made the "reveal" out to be. I watched Brandon's Season One discussion on his podcast and it was here I learned that Rand was the one who was supposed to showcase his power on the Trollocs, so I'm with you here.
Well if the untrained dragon reborn killed those 20k trollocs he wouldve been seen as the typical OP main chosen one character and that wouldve been imo worse development.
@@EternalMariam Rand doesn't kill all those trollocs either in the book though. Many just run after he starts to attack and the Fal Dara army takes care of the rest. He was also crazy overpowered at the Eye, unlike the circle in the show. The whole Tower could link and destroy any amount of shadowspawn at this point, it was just too extra and no idea why they went that way. I would have rather them cut the whole Tarwin's Gap scene if they thought it was too much for Rand this early on.
Regarding the comments wars... well, the adaptations are never TOTALLY faithful to the books. Even authors like Crichton who were almost writing scripts at times saw changes to their work. So there are the people who realize this is going to happen and live with it because they love the material and characters, the people who realize this is going to happen but don't like the changes, and the people who can't stand the fact that the books got changed and constantly feel the need to complain that such-and-such was different in the book. And there are valid points all around. But sheesh, can you imagine how much braid-tugging, sniffing, and eyebrow-raising there would be if these were totally faithful to the books? ; )
I thought she either channeled at the same time, or she just thought she inadvertently did. Her being untrained could explain it, she looked confused while looking at her own hands.
@@bluelight17 idk, it was only one strand of weave, and the book says that the feeling of channeling is unforgettable, so maybe the show fucked up or something idk
Egwene was always power hungry. She always thought she is the centre of the universe. Being raised from accepted to Amyrlin, she never thought her promotion might be due to the Taveren tugging of Rand 🤣. (I am sorry guys I never liked Egwene from the moment she told Min to stay away from Rand)
It was both of them. But Egwene probably made a small fire weave, which is all she's done at this point, whereas Rand did the air weave that pushed the Trolloc back, similar to what he did with the door.
There sure are a lot of people complaining about this series in the comments. I mean please go not like it at your own leisure, but don't preach it as fact. I've read all the books and, though I have my gripes, I think it's a pretty darn good adaptation so far, that manages to be pretty awesome at times. Here's hoping it'll become great over more seasons.
@@Notharah Being woke is a genuine issue for me, and the changing of characters to be what they were never intended to be or not using new characters in order to fill that void. But not the homosexuality lol.
@@HaveButOneLife I have no idea what woke even means any more. It certainly doesn't mean what it used to and has been coopted by people to simply mean "(progressive) change I don't like". But yeh, they did make changes to characters and order of events and all that. I don't mind them, save a few, but that's to each their own
I literally just started this and am on episode 2 but from episode 1 I already knew it was him,it's hella obvious n cliche. On another note I hate the female pairing with him.
I read something on the web and a lot of femminist are disappointed that the dragon is not Nyneve or Egwyne. For the first time in years the chosen one is a male, white, hetherosexual, tall, atletic and with light hairs. I am surprised that amazon made a so shocking choice XDXDXD
@@drachna yes, but it not rare that the producer made change in the sex or color of the skin of some character to make happy the politically correct fan. An example is Triss of the witcher, from a you white girl with red hair, thewy chose an actor that is afroamerican of middle age. A drastic change that leads to nowhere. For these reason I was worried that they have changed something of the story for this reason. I am glad that this time was not the case.
@@alessandrocalamida4938 That's a bad example lol.. The Witcher show is based on the books, not the games. CDPR changed what Triss looks like, and the Netflix adaptation is much closer to her original description
@UCtbi84Cv5wJkG-zTdJrDgGw For starters it’s called having an opinion where not everyone has the same view on something so I’m not a troll in case you were wondering. There’s shows I love, like, dislike and despise, this being one of them where I am simply expressing my righteous anger at a simply horrendous adaptation. And to bluntly answer you're question of how is it a bad adaptation? We’ll simply because this show has no respect for the source material where I am convinced the writers of this show did not read the books where it treats it’s characters unevenly at best to flat out disrespectful and destructive of their traits at worst. As well as disregarding and sh*t-ting on the lore and world of Robert Jordan’s work. Oh, it’s also a very misandrist show as well.
Now that you know who the Dragon is, Robert Jordan always wrote two things, which the saga relies on: 1) There were 3 ta'veren in Two Rivers (Rand, Mat, Perrin). Egwene was NOT a ta'veren in the books. But she may as well be, for the things she'll accomplish; 2) The Dragon can only be MALE. Now, I don't know wether they made it possible for the Dragon to be female and shattered in five different bodies for politically correct or to make the mistery bigger (in the books you get it's Rand as soon as they leave Emond's Field). Perhaps the both of them.
When post-nut clarity hits so hard you realise you're the world's savior
😂😂😂
Real talk right there!
Egwene: "Rand, I'm pregnant!"
Rand: "Oh, thats great! I'm going to buy cigarettes, I mean, fight against the Dark One, but I will return..."

For these reason I was worried that they have changed something of the story for this reason. I am glad that this time was not the case.
@@alessandrocalamida4938 Alessandro, if you change who the Dragon is, everything collpse. That femminist have a plenty of things for them
@@alessandrocalamida4938 That's a bad example lol.. The Witcher show is based on the books, not the games. CDPR changed what Triss looks like, and the Netflix adaptation is much closer to her original description
@@elanmorin3005 wrong, Triss in the book is described to be similar to the one of the game.
Literally this scene is barely the only decent thing out of this sh*t-show of an “adaptation”.
@UCtbi84Cv5wJkG-zTdJrDgGw For starters it’s called having an opinion where not everyone has the same view on something so I’m not a troll in case you were wondering. There’s shows I love, like, dislike and despise, this being one of them where I am simply expressing my righteous anger at a simply horrendous adaptation. And to bluntly answer you're question of how is it a bad adaptation? We’ll simply because this show has no respect for the source material where I am convinced the writers of this show did not read the books where it treats it’s characters unevenly at best to flat out disrespectful and destructive of their traits at worst. As well as disregarding and sh*t-ting on the lore and world of Robert Jordan’s work. Oh, it’s also a very misandrist show as well.
How is he the Dragon? He can barely channel and Nyneve is way stronger.
he is the Dragon Reborn.. for now he is weak, but will be A LOT STRONGER than Nyneve
Now that you know who the Dragon is, Robert Jordan always wrote two things, which the saga relies on:
1) There were 3 ta'veren in Two Rivers (Rand, Mat, Perrin). Egwene was NOT a ta'veren in the books. But she may as well be, for the things she'll accomplish;
2) The Dragon can only be MALE. Now, I don't know wether they made it possible for the Dragon to be female and shattered in five different bodies for politically correct or to make the mistery bigger (in the books you get it's Rand as soon as they leave Emond's Field). Perhaps the both of them.
Rand is the strongest channeler in Wheel of Time. And I think in the next episode they will show how strong Rand is.
Lol. He is stronger
Read the books
what a bad show
still a bad show
