Shoutout to that trolloc that talks to Rand in eye of the world before no trolloc ever speaks again for the entire series, with it later being implied that they have their own language raising questions of how that particular fellow learned the human language

My favorite thing, which I love your hilarious skit on, is the fact that the Seanchan, after being on a separate continent for a millenium, still speak the exact same language, but like Texans.

This is the same guy who names the spooky shadow city “Shadow le goth” but like, said by an Australian person

Can't stop smiling from seeing you be this happy about the name of a mountain range 😂 I agree tho, it's hilarious

For me it's the mosquito-like insects bitemes. When I started reading I pronounced it "bye-team" in my head but then I read the index to discover that they're actually pronounced "bite-me."

Not to mention the name of the last battle is a transparent copy of Armageddon, the names of the Trolloc tribes are copies of various mythological monsters, and quite a bit more. At first I thought Robert Jordan was just being lazy, but then I realized it was a thematic choice. The Wheel of Time is supposed to be the distant past (and possibly distant future), and so the similarities are kind of half-forgotten memories: The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past…

Wheel of Time started off kinda derivative from a lot of stuff but became its own thing so in the later books there are still some of those plot threads or whatever but nestled in the world of Wheel of Time and it becomes so funny there's some other stuff as well like that like the Mountains of Mist

I always said it as Da-Hoom.

Also the true name of the Dark One is Sha*tan (censored to not bring his wrath upon me)

Dhoom Machale!!😂😂

I don't know, sounds pretty different from Tolkien's Mount Doom if you ask me. I mean, Wheel Of Time has an H in theirs! Also just seeing you find it so funny has made it that I shall never be able to read 'Dhoom' again without laughing.

Especially when there’s another mountain range called the spine of the world lol

Also Dhoom is a Bollywood Buddy-Cop film franchise, extremely cheesy and absolute cult classics. Might wanna check them out 🤣

I started reading Wheel of Time because of the last video he made on the topic. I am only three books in. I paused the video at the start, can someone comment if this video is gonna spoil stuff for me so I can watch it?

Look man, Robert Jordan liked his Bollywood movies

Dhoom machale dhoom machale dhoom... Bollywood . Dhoom= blast

Stay Gheneric!

I had the same thought when I read it. 😂 That's a little on the nose.

Wheel of time is the best

I also find that hilarious.

I feel that much like The Choronicles of Shanara, I feel the first book pulled a lot from LOTR, however unlike Shanara the first book is not a blow by blow retelling of Fellowship. I'll give Jordan that.

I've been trying to get into the Wheel of Time, cause I want to get into the later stuff that everyone says is good - but gosh, I just did not get invested in the first book. I stalled in the beginning of the second book, but I don't know. Wheel of Time fans, any suggestions, should I keep going if I'm not enjoying it thus far? Do you have any videos or some such I can use to catch up on stuff I didn't remember well from the first book?

Stormlight archive have the "Misted Mountains"

The silliest thing in the Wheel of Time is just every romantic subplot. They are so bad they drag me out of the world.

dHoom

"Dhoom" means "rock" in Hindi, so there's that....The Mountains of Rock. OK. Still a dumb name. What else are mountains made of.
