When post-nut clarity hits so hard you realise you're the world's savior

"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.”

One of my favourite moments from the adaptation so far.

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

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

Eventhough knowing that he is the dragon the whole season....this scene gave me goosebumps..

I actually like the way they did the reveal

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

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.

"You're a Wizard, Harry! Oh, wait, wrong series..."

The moment you realize that the moment your life went to shit was only a warm-up.

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

Rand doesn't really admit it to himself before he takes tear.

I finally found the soundtrack for this scene!! Its revelations in vol.3 of the WoT soundtrack

I knew from the first episode that he was the main dude

Great job putting this together.

omgggg i realllyyyy wanna read the books

Is amazing how this scene is better than all season

1:05 the tower... it is probably just me but that looks really like an... Upside down T

When the first arrow hits that bullseye and I hear that magical thunder clap, I get moist.

At least they stayed loyal to the book on who the dragon is. There may yet be hope for this tv adaption.

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.

Wow he was channeling the whole time and didn't put it together until now. What twist he channeling in the ways not egwene

I dont read the book, but, Rand is my favorite character... i like that revelation

"That mountain i think I've seen it before" Sure you did buddy that's where you exploded😊

I've turned my view from books to TV show because of my curiousness about those such moments in the show.

Haven't watched the series yet but read it a few times. From the clips it looks decent but I m patient enough to wait a couuple

Darkest hero reveal ever. I like it

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.

to me, this was a huge wtf moment.. like.. all of a sudden he just realized this? 😂 😂

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.

Cant wait to see rand clean the.........oooh the worn out boots of course....No spoilers allowed here🤫

I loved the adoptation...... until the last episode. The changes they made then were very wrong and no matter what happens changes the story to much.

Is there a name of this song?

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.

This is what I was waiting for. Totally worth 7 episodes of crap...worth it completely

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? ; )

Such an underwhelming revelation...

But agwayne said “ I didn’t mean to channel “ so why did she say that if it was rand?

non emoziona per niente

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.

Who is Rand's mother?

Does Morriane related to Rand?

I thought this show was ok. I read the books after seeing the show. I now hate the show. The same thing happened to me with the movie Shooter.

They completely ruin the books with the rubbish they made

The show had such potential but they fucked it up

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.

Reported, because I’m in this video and I don’t like it. J/k

Literally this scene is barely the only decent thing out of this sh*t-show of an “adaptation”.

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

How is he the Dragon? He can barely channel and Nyneve is way stronger.

what a bad show

still a bad show
