Your reaction at Perrin's moment was everything.
Yeah right?
Egwene: "has that been in your pocket all day?"
Rand: "... the strawberry?"
"It was an accident" I think you mean "axe-ident"
You just won the interwebs, congrats.
Damn
“Run up get done up” is the best most accurate description of Nynaeve ive ever heard 🤣🤣
You are a great time! She said turn uppppp
As a non-native English speaker, keeping up with what you say is a feat, but it makes me feel powerful when I can
And Perrin didn't have a wife in the books. Won't spoil but most of us gets why she was added. Just for book readers as soon as he had a wife but we knew he had to leave, we were like, "Oh... So... Sorry wife..."
If it hadn’t been a wife, it’d have been a family member or similar 🤷🏻♀️
It was stupid to change it.
"It's an apostrophe!" Girl, I screamed.
I saw another reactor call it a comma.
All hail the Oxford comma! 😂
@@brandontaylor3252 Not a cult.
Best reaction to seeing that image so far.
It's ok. You can compare it to Game of Thrones. We all compared Game of Thrones to this back when that was still on HBO.
This is a much better story tho. Bigger world. More fleshed out. And... ahem... the story is finished... lol
It's not a better story, it's not better books.
It all comes down to personal taste.
I've got a feeling she would have some major issues with the books, and probably with the show too (as far from the books as it is, already).
At least we know the ending of WoT won't have the erm... issue that GoT had that made so many people hate it.
meh more like The Witcher for me lol
I would also add that it has a LOT more magic than any of those series.
@@rfresa , right....Aes Sedai cosplaying Power Rangers and Nynaeve going super Saiyan.
I did not sign up for an anime.
Re: can she tell... All she knows about the rebirth of the Dragon is the date of birth. She knows the Dragon Reborn is 20 years old. That's it. That's why she was interrogating Nynaeve at the cave pool. Once she found out Nynaeve was 25, Moiraine knew it wasn't her. So, it's one of these other four, but she doesn't yet know which one, so she takes them all. The only other thing she knows as an indicator to watch for is that the Dragon Reborn will be able to channel.
Possible Spoiler....
..also that the Dragon was born on the slopes of Dragonmount, so she is looking for outsiders in the village, and I guess that is one of the reasons she questioned Nynaeve...
@@MrSmokinDragon Yup!
Did y’all catch Moiraine saying something about,
*spoiler alert*?
rumors of four ta’veren” being in the Two Rivers? Wait rumors? Who pray tell would know that? And wait…how many?
@@MrSmokinDragon That's not the case in the show. At the very beginning of the episode, Moiraine specifically says they don't know where the dragon was born. The show writers probably made this change because it would be too easy for Moiraine to ask the parents where their kids were born.
Lost it at "is anybody in there... Cause they dead!!" 😅
The one thing I couldn't unsee the whole time was Rand's Old Navy sweater. Every time it was on screen I'm like, "I think I own that sweater..."
To be fair, his family has sheep and knitting wool hasn't really changed much over time :-D
The trollocs carried off some people as their next meals.
Trolloc cook pots :) yum yum
Awesome reaction! oYeah, and we all had that same reaction when Perrin killed his wife (That wasn't in the books, btw. They were all about 17 in the books) because Perrin is to me the most consistently loveable character in the books. But this addition really sets up his pathos really well without having the ability that you have in books to hear the character's inner thoughts.
I'm really glad they have done this well enough to get non-book fans to invest in it. Trust me, this story is vast and a real roller coaster ride of action and drama and emotion, politics and intrigue. If it's done right, it should be way better than GoT, which was actually somewhat derivative of this. Also, they have no excuse for f***ing up the ending like GoT, because it's all written already.
Man like... Perrin killing his wife is both butchering his character AND being an awesome way to show his "gentleness" without having inner thoughts or... SNIFFING. Like its equally a stupid idea and a great idea.
Its PERRIN. PERRIN. Book Perrin would've given up right then and there. A "fuck it im done Im going back to the forge until the Last Battle is over". How much guilt did he have over a fucking Shaido hand? Him killing his wife would've broken him completely.
Literally, The Game of Houses
What you said is basically my byline for people who like GoT. One culture from WoT is like the entirety of GoT 🤣🤣
Hi! Great reaction!
And the trollocs were either killing people outright or they were dragging them off to eat them...they're nasty
As a huge fan of the books, and someone who's been combing through non-reader reactions, I can safely say this is my favorite reaction so far :) Do more of the Wheel of Time!
"Your parents just left the room!" Well, they don't go into it, but once Egwene was accepted by the Women's Circle she was given - permission - to braid her hair, which marked her as a fully-grown woman in the village. It was already known that she and Rand were "sweet on" each other and "walking out", and it was well expected that once Egwene had her hair braided she would take him as her husband. The parents knew full well what was going on, but in this society, by age 20, they were already full adults in the eyes of the village and high time they got on to making babies.
The sheep symbol, is significant, think of it as half of Ying/yang.
Long time Wheel of Time fan here. Absolutely Loved your Reaction. Hope you watch the rest of the season and enjoy it.
I recommend to check The Trivia. Is not like levity, they are actual explanations of things that you may have not understood.
More information that they could not Info dump us.
There are animated Shorts about The World historry as Well.
You can check those too. The compendium explain things about The power, aes sedai, The wisdom, etc. Is really complete.
I like your reaction! GOOD JOB
"You have a wife! Go get her!"
He sure did. :)))
Oooooo! 😂🤣 too soon
@@wheelchazeal8089 I guess it's easier on people that read the books, because they'll never consider that character his wife.
I like it so far. Hopefully, it continues to be good. I see a lot of people comparing it to Game of Thrones, I don’t see it. It reminds me more of Lord of the Rings, with the Trollocs, scenery and everything.
When Perrin killed his wife by accident, I shouted so loud in my house, I couldn’t believe it😱. Like DAMN🥺😭…
My favourites so far are Nynaeve and Mat☺️. Also, Lan is so FINE😍🔥, like WOW. Anyway, I’m looking forward to watching episode 4 and your episode 2 reactions👍🏽.
Lan... omg. I bet a lot of the warders will be very attractive. Then again, I am just super into that particular aesthetic that fantasy warriors have.
In a lot of ways it's somewhere in between LotR and GoT in terms of the story and scale, but it has a LOT more magic than either of those series.
Excited for your reacts to the next few episodes. Been reading and rereading for 28 years and am loving seeing all the new fans and followers investing into something I've loved by whole adult life.
It won't be revealed how the Trollocs snuck up on them for awhile. There is a reason though.
There are few Aes Sedai who can see what people are special like the leader of the Aes Sedai can. Moiraine isn't one of them though.
Fave reaction video so far!! As a bif lover of the books, it’s so special to see people unfamiliar get drawn into the show as well. Pleasssse keep this up with the remaining episodes because you are hilarious.
The theory about Perrin’s wife is that they had a miscarriage, or maybe a still birth or something, but one way or another lost a baby. And that’s why she was kinda off at first, because she was struggling with that.
Aside from the trivia, there's also animated shorts that give backstory. There's 1 per episode, and you can access all previous shorts from the current episode
Is it my birthday? One of my favorite reactors doing one of my favorite book series.
When you said " I know that's not who I think it is.... wait Rouse Bolton.... I can't!" I had the same reaction! Love your reaction!
Trollocs sometimes grab people for snacks for eating later. That's why they carry off people.
In the books they are 18 at the beginning and like 21 or 22 when the series ends. Keep in mind there's 14 books to cover 3 years.
The books are not teen books (thought teens can and do enjoy them). There is a difference between teen books/shows and books/shows about teenagers.
Just came across your Wheel of Time reaction videos, my favorite fantasy book series btw. Love the videos!!!! This is how I will be spending my lazy Sunday!
I haven't read the books, but the first episode hooked me. And episode 2 and 3 cemented my anticipation for more.
"You're weak-backed." "hollering with the niggas" just a few examples as to why you're one of my faves!
Your question about how they didn’t know the trollocs were coming is quite astute. Rest assured, though, that these stories raise a LOT of questions, but is actually really good about answering them. Robert Jordan is a master of foreshadowing and throwing in little tidbits early on that become highly important later.
7:26 It's the other way around. They know better than to linger and see things they can't unsee. 😂
When you said you dont wanna watch another teen show I felt it. Trying to watch Locke and Key because I love fantasy, but I'm groaning and skipping so much of the teen drama that irks me lol
I call Locke and Key the "kids who don't lissen" show. 😐 I just started season 2 and one character is the only thing keeping me interested. I won't say who in case of spoilers.
@@ManicMeeks Yeah I'm on episode 3 of second season and also only almost care because of the keys... Show almost lost me at using the keys in school. :|
I finished locke and key out of stubbornness but yeah, teen drama ugg. tho really, Shadow and Bone and Shanarra are all basically teens, too
@@caraziegel7652 I'm reading the locke comics now and it's funny because it's very adult. I guess they really kid-fied it. Which I guess made sense. But sheesh all the times the teens gave a big attitude and were all angsty with, "No one understands me" *pouty teen angst* I rolled my eyes so hard. In a real world they would've been in some lab being dissected one day later...
@@ManicMeeks Perfectly accurate description for Locke and Key😂👍👍
"Go get your wife"
"Nooooooo"
How did the Trollocs get that far undetected is a very good question. It was a puzzle that they later figured out when traversing in The Ways.
Well done on the reaction look forward to next time it’s a great world you’ll be exploring
Love to see these reaction vids, great to see a new channel to sub to! Can't wait for your reactions on the other episodes
Lol you gearing up to fight Mat's parents killed me. So good please react to the rest!
😂😂😂😂 She said giggety!!!
Girl you're fun. I gotta see more of your videos. Episode 2 episode 2 episode 2!!!
That Perrin moment was devestating
You misspelled infuriating.
@@SmartAlx Righto buddy
I get WHY they did it and it makes sense but its equally a bad idea. Ive never been so torn. Like they can't have Perrin's inner thoughts and his constant worrying about being the big dude needing to be gentle right? But at the same time remember the Shaido hand and how much guilt that gives Perrin down the line? Perrin killing his wife (especially baby two rivers Perrin) would break him.
Before you get started, I really dig your specs. Different and cute. Now let's see what a non- book reader has to say. Can't wait.
If you're a fan of Dragon Age I think you're really gonna like the rest of this show! Dragon Age takes a lot of inspiration from the Wheel of Time books and I'm a huge fan of both
Madam! Your comments! Dang, you have quite the mouth dear lady. Love it! Please continue.
Your reaction was EVERYTHING. Girl!
I think youve been the most entertaining reaction of all!!!
"Nigga nooooo" that was me lol
23:04 that gets explained later so don't worry (in the books it was at least)
I loved this!!! I can’t wait to see your reaction to episode 2!!!
Great reaction and great discussion!
7:40 lmaoo i just found your channel looking for a lovecraft country reaction and now ill stay watching u
I liked the first episode and the second and the third. I've only read the series once through and a couple of the later books twice once the last of the books released so it's been a while and I don't remember super specific details but I didn't have a problem with it. But I've also been following the Q&As by the creator and have had time to get used to any potential changes so I'm not bothered by changes other book readers don't like. Perrin's wife though...wasn't sure about but I have faith in the creative team and am willing to wait to see how it plays out.
But also, the creator has said that they're taking all the material and creating a story as a whole so missing pieces could turn up later.
Overall, I liked it.
I love your reactions, can't wait to see your reaction to ep 3 (and a certain two people 😏)!
Really glad you're reacting to this!
One thing with Perrin killing his wife. Why she was she about lay him out? The other Trollic was dead that was the last one. Why she have her weapon raised to him?
Spoiler:
I think she’s a dark friend 🤷🏾♀️
That's the only thing i could think of. Like, your husband is fighting... Give him some space to wield his axe.
I believe we'll start this for our weekly family viewing next week - we'll see. Either that or wait a few weeks for S2 witcher. We just finished Sweetooth - WHICH YOU SHOULD REALLY WATCH!! i mean, if you ever run out of things to watch
You made my whole day. Thank you for the reaction. :)
17:46 and 20:06 had me in tears. LOL I know the first isn't supposed to be funny, but I had the SAME reaction.
And can I just say, I FEEL YOU about the teen drama. I just can't with that mess anymore. I just can't deal with that nonsense anymore, so I am so happy we have a fantasy show with adults and young adults who doesn't have the characters working my nerves every minute! I haven't read the books (I'm sure I will after this), so I'm looking forward to see what comes next.
...yup, trollocs came undetected through the ways.
You had my favorite reaction to this.
You're not wrong about Roose Bolton. But Tam Al'Thors about as far a character from Roose as it gets. You'll love that man eventually. And you might call it kidnapping, trollocs would probably call it grocery shopping.
Lol, "It was an Axe-ident!"
Good honest reaction.
These are important to us that have devoured this series for decades, to know that the changes they have made from the books isnt a bad thing.
For me, i can see why they did major changes since so much of the characters are explained in inner dialouge, which is hard to do on the small screen.
Really enjoyed seeing your reaction please react to more! I can't wait to hear and see your thoughts on the rest!
If you stay here your village will eat a ----- hysterical 🤣
17:40 he got her alright.
Love the reaction, I hope you will watch the rest because I want to see more reactions on what´s coming.
Came here for this, but also saw you played Dragon Age origins??? I'm sticking around for that too! Also, there's A LOT of inspiration in Dragon Age from the Wheel of Time so if you liked DA:O then you'll enjoy this a lot as well!
you should watch her witcher reactions they were fun
Loved your reaction video, subbed to see more of it
This was fire reaction
This is the best reaction I’ve seen.
Holy shit a funko pop person in the flesh
Thanks for this gem of a reaction video. Clearly you still have red wedding trauma.😁
Best reaction ever!
Perrins wife is a dark friend...
Girl same. I hate that part and even promised not to watch it again. But I came across your reaction and I don't even know why I am happy we have the same reaction.
I'm literally the same I like alot of things I'm not a picky watcher😂♥️
Great reaction. Subscribed. Can’t wait for the next one.
Love your reactions! I'm Invested also
Thats not Izzy from the mummy, its the dude from the medallion. )
I litereally didnt understand a word in the first 1 minute of the video, you are talking with the speed of light LOL :D
Sorry, I wrote that before watching the whole thing and I couldnt stop laughing. Your reactions are just hilarious. Sign me up for more hahahahahahha :D:D:D:D:D:D
Based on the quality of the genetic donors, I think calling the girls Matt's kids was completely fair
Oh god so many spoilers in these comments damn you book readers. Cant yall just comment with out spoiling things not all of us have readied the books this show is our first introduction into this world stop spoiling it gees.
I pretty much stopped reading after the first day of it being posted. Smh. Deep sigh
Please, please, please continue reviewing the series! As a book reader I’m loving your reviews!
I started re-reading the books again in anticipation (I'm on book 3) and I'm on board with what they are doing so far, it's very interesting to see what they are changing and what they are adapting 1 to 1. I hope Amazon keeps this around long enough for it to truly hit it's stride.
I watched it before I watched this so I would be ready lmao
Because my whole everything is why tho the wife… somebody come for my father we in a full brawl it’s a wrap
Roos is good here :-)
But did you notice what almost happened before he gutted the wife? There's some interesting tinfoil there.
where is part 2 :(
Was I tripping out or was that guy's wife mad suspicious earlier and then she had the axe behind him? I feel like she was gonna kill him
Yasssssss cowboy bebop Sweater yassss hehehe
Aw sweet!
I just knewwwww you would have the same reaction to the beast beauty wife!! I was furious!!!!! I was hurt as a mug doe and then I felt no simp for him because he already thirsty for wind whsiper heffa that’s wit the red head archer that can’t help his daddy fight….
Please do episode 2 🙏
Sorry I had to laugh. To me it soundend like: "It's an axident! It's an axident!"
Book fans are a bit disappointed so far but your reaction has helped me to appreciate the first episode more. Glad you enjoyed it!
Book fans are gonna have to slow their roll. Haha GoT, HP, and Manga reads know this dance too well. Just go in with knowledge and see how they provide show watchers the information. Its the easiest way to help temper expectations.
No the fandom is very split on this. The majority of my friends who have read the series have enjoyed/love the show. I like it. Is it exactly what I wanted no but I am enjoying it as a adaptation.
I needed your reaction to lighten my mood over this, because my initial reaction was it was a dumpster fire compared to the actual story. I get you went into this blind though, so I actually appreciated your outside view. I may even move on and watch the other episodes. It's hard though, most people invested years going through the 15 900 page books so this show was a gut punch, but I think if I don't let it get to me and laugh off the corny shit, it might not be so bad. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It really is a Hell of a story that most people don't even know about, so exposure is good I guess? Keep doing your thing and I'll follow the other episodes w you. Much love for changing my view and making my day.
I like to see this as a stepping point for a proper adaptation in the future.
@@cookiedestroyer2801 I'll try to have hope and see it as such. If anything, it may get the series out to the mainstream for that to be possible. There were already a couple janky adaptation attempts, which is why I thought, "Hey, NOW they have a budget and power to do it right!" I went head and watched 2 and 3. It's still campy cringe in spots, but it was more tolerable.
You could try thinking of it as another turning of the wheel perhaps?
15 books you say well damn I hope Amazon finishes this series ugh the story is so good so far. 15 books is an under taking I dont want this to end up like games of thrones but since its Amazon I have hope since they did the Expanse some justice but they didnt finish it out like I had hoped.
There wasn't anyone there with him, the male half of the one power is tainted and drives men mad.
So you said you did not want a YA story. Is this not YA enough for you?
I love the book series. This first episode didn't really do it for me but the next two were better. Just happy a studio is at least making a good effort at the series.
Indeed. I'm not normally the type to be bothered by such things but for some reason I'm getting hung up on Rand and Egwene being physical already at this point. When us true book fans know that Rand's chastity is meant for (Spoiler) someone who I doubt will even be introduced into this season.
@@lupusmacbeth8784 It is very interesting for me to see how different fans of the books interpret things totally differently :-) Honestly, as a book fan, I personally think this actually an improvement over the books. As much as I love Robert Jordan's writing, romantic relationships were probably the greatest weakness in his writing. Rand and Egwene's relationship had absolutely no emotional impact for me in the books, I can definitely see the way the series is handling this leading to a better payoff in that regard.
@Henri Cloete Rand and Egwene didn't really have a romance per se. They had like an obligated crush. Everyone expected them to get married because they're the only ones at that age in the village. (I guess Matt and Perrin weren't as good of a fit for Egwene.) I think their feelings were born from obligation, and it reads that way in the books. I like it that way. It's almost like they were reading the pattern and knew they weren't really made for each other.
