That video needs to be made pronto haha

fact check true

We haven't even met Elaida yet. But Liandrin gets all this development for all the impact she has on the series after book 2.

@@Seomus It is possible they're trying to merge Elaida and Liandrin into one... which would be idiotic, but always expect the dumbest thing possible (and even then, Amazon'll surprise you by somehow doing something even dumber).

@@Azdaja13except they've already cast somone for Elaida.

I don't think they are planning on giving rand/ hollister his 3 women..

Not yet... and I DID have the same thought, so I looked it up at IMDB. They DO, however, have the same studio producing both of them... which means the same woman ultimately running things. Sort of like Kathleen Kennedy at LucasFilms?

Not sure if we can call them writers. Maybe very bad script generetors that turn gold to dust.

Same AI bot you mean? Yes

try to laugh rather than cry 🧡

Well, I guess they do age just slower

@@drrohanjacob5343 that would make sense if they didn’t have a picture of 45 year old girl boss with her 10 year old sister.

@MrWebweaver Well, this show butchers everything about the story. A portrait means little compared to that. Look what they did to lanfear and rand

The reason why is because Rosamund Pike is executive producing the series so she can star in it and she's 40+ years old.

Because the show is stupid and the showrunners are also stupid.

Office reference?

TBF, she DID get merk'd by a Voldemort a couple episodes back, so she's not all that great.

Her sister. At least that’s what they alluded to.

Not-Galadriel just looked up the local AirBNB listings and figured out which one had the best view and was already rented.

Sister has a PI spying on Hollister all the time… so she texted the PI where is he now? And he texted back and shared the gps coordinates 💁‍♂️

@@froggybug Well if anyone paid attention they would realize they have super sonic pacing in Wheel of Time and expect you to pick on details, they don't pause to explain to Americans every nuance .... so obviously if her sister had all ears and eyes in the city, she would have had Rand followed! its an obvious one ...

I'm pretty sure that the water filtration scene is foreshadowing Nynaeve cleansing the One Power herself. I mean, who really needs Rand for that?

good point 😂

😂

*"They're doing the most simplistic, un-subtle interpretation of the concepts from the book."* They're doing the most simplistic, un-subtle adaptation of their MIS-interpretation of the concepts from the book. FTFY

@@frocat5163 That's a better way of putting it, yes.

maybe!

Not "Yennifer", with a 'Y'. See: The Witcher

Got it thanks. The captions said not Jennifer, that was what confused me. @@DocHogan

And it's her older sister who is a loving mother that wants nothing to do with politics and enjoys raising her kids.

Pffffft Girl Bosses don't need nomman

I totally missed any references to Moiraine's sister in the books.

@@johnthomas2485 It's in New Spring after Moiraine's uncle is killed several sisters ask her who in her family would be likely to succeed her uncle and they discuss how her sister would make an awful queen since she's a bit of an airhead and loves being a mother. It's when Moiriane realizes she's being manuevered to become Queen and does not want it.

She called this one a "Voldy" as in Voldemort from Harry Potter.

I suffer so others don't have to 😌

@@LienesLibrary - For Liene so loved her followers that she sat and watched all episodes of Amazon's Rings of Power for them. Your sacrifice is appreciated.😆

whoops! lol

This one isn't actually a problem; he's just untrained. The original clearly was trained.

@@jakistam1000 In the final for season one two untrained women and another woman who failed out of Aes Sidei as not having enough magic literally beat an entire army. I know this is what they want to be the explanation, but this show is also very arbitrary about when experience matters. They made a conscious choice to neuter the male dragon to make the female characters more awesome.

it's vaguely explained in the books that men grow in power with use and they progress in huge strides. Rand is as powerful at 20 with no training as logain who has been using his powers for years. In the books Logain is in the top ten of men strength if I remember right so not a bad take IMO

​@alexandreleblanc3816 Rand is only slightly more powerful than Logain and Taim. Which is why is carried around an angreal most of the time

​@@alexandreleblanc3816it's not a bad take that Cliff Girl is more powerful than 2.0 and that Mean Girl is 10 times more powerful than Cliff Girl? It was plainly stated in the books that Logain was quite a bit stronger than Nynaeve.

@@alexandreleblanc3816 *"it's vaguely explained in the books that men grow in power with use and they progress in huge strides."* Men gain their strength in bursts (not really huge strides) rather than the (generally) smooth progression that women follow. *"Rand is as powerful at 20 with no training as logain who has been using his powers for years."* First, the show has done absolutely nothing to explain any of that. Going by nothing but what's been presented in the show, and that's really all that matters when discussing the show, Hollister is (and will remain) no more powerful than 2.0. *"Logain is in the top ten of men strength if I remember right..."* In the books, Logain is in the tier below Rand. According to Robert Jordan's power levels, Rand is power ++1 (the maximum). Logain is ++2. Taim is either ++2 or ++3. But, again, none of that information is presented in the show. *"... so not a bad take IMO"* Of course it's a bad take. The show has claimed that Cliff is either as powerful as, or more powerful than, 2.0. Who, according to the show, is the same strength as Hollister. Meaning Cliff is either as powerful as, or more powerful than, Hollister. They've also pointed out that Mean Girl is considerably _more powerful_ than Cliff, meaning she is also considerably more powerful than Hollister. You can't cherry pick a single data point that's essentially correct, ignore all of the other information surrounding that data point, and declare that the cherry picked point proves your claim (or is even reasonable). In reality, Nynaeve is strength 3, while Egwene is somewhere between 8 and 5 (it varies in Jordan's notes). Power 3 is 9 levels below Rand. And the tables Jordan made for these power levels aren't linear, meaning Rand is likely somewhere around twice as strong as Nynaeve, and potentially as much as 3 times as strong as Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha.

It IS weird cause it’s only been 20 yearssss… so not Galadriel’s sister should only be 30? But not Galadriel’s sister looks this old because not Galadriel looks like an old crone? Maybe..😂😂😂

Appreciate the Damodred backup! :) Don't the credits list Not-Galadriel's sister as Anvaere? In which case she'd be the one who liked 'horses and hawking' and had a bad temper. You're thinking of Innloine, who was stubborn, 'not terribly bright', and only cared about being a mother. Good point about the ages; I guess they've aged up Moiraine since her sister's actress is about seventy!

@@SilveryRowOkay I forget about that other sister. I know that they're so important to the plot they're only mentioned in one scene in the prequal novella. Glad we missed out on getting the books adapted for scenes like this and making Liandrin a nice person with a son.

Liandrin has a jaw line stronger than any man I've known in my 50 years.

I think warders don't just get "replaced"; if they don't die in combat, they die of old age, still bonded. I'm pretty sure that we've seen some old warders, though I can't recall specifics. Also, the books say that after losing 1st warder, they often don't take another for a long time, if at all. (And if the Aes Sedai are really withdrawn from relationshis with most people, it makes sense that they do need some other close relationship.)

So, an Aes Sedai will release a warder if she knows she's dying to spare him the consequences, but it's a custom nearly as strong as law to release a dying warder from the bond just to spare the Aes Sedai the grief of his passing.

Adding to the prior comments, the bond keeps Warders active and healthy far longer than they normally would be. An old Warder isn't much less effective than a young one, and far more dangerous due to experience.

@@Seomus *"...but it's a custom nearly as strong as law to release a dying warder from the bond just to spare the Aes Sedai the grief of his passing."* I think you missed a word in this comment. Aes Sedai _don't_ sever the Bond when their warder is dying, whether from old age, disease, or injury. It's explicitly stated that Aes Sedai hold on to that grief to honor their warder's memory. There's at least one instance where an Aes Sedai refuses to allow another (Nynaeve, I think...) to try to Heal the Aes Sedai to ease her grief from her warder's death. There are also only a couple of instances where an Aes Sedai releases her warder prior to her death to spare the Gaidin.

@@frocat5163Yes, that is what I was trying to say

Hollister is a fashion store for young people. She's referring to Rand.

@@IndyMotoRider Thank you. I was aware she was referring to Rand, I was just unfamiliar with the reference. 👍

now there's an idea...

It is supposed to be all oil lamps at night.

Well that's a relief! I thought I was accidently wearing the 6 pairs of sunglasses I put on to watch GoT's battle of Winterfell.@@jsbrads1
