Wheel of Time Season 3! All things Gawyn and Galad!

Күн бұрын

Wheel of Time Season 3 is still a ways out (think more like a year plus!) but we still don't know who is playing my favorite character Gawyn! We DO know who is playing Galad though so I take what we do know about the third Season of The Wheel of Time and se eif we can use it to determine who is playing Gawyn! Castings, leaks, audition scripts and people who should be in scenes with him on set all give us little clues! Join me as I break down what we know and see if we can guess his casting as well as exactly what Gawyn and Galad will be doing for Season 3 of The Wheel of Time

1. Is the sound messed up, or is it just me. It kind of mutes out at times when Jon is speaking... not sure if it's the mic or post production... or just my laptop, but I've only noticed on the last few WoT Up! videos and not anything else. 😅 2. Is Amazon switching Galad and Gawyn's heritage? Galad is a Trakand and Gawyn is a Damodred? Is Gawyn going to be the half-brother instead of Galad? 🤔 I'm not sure I like that idea. I don't see how the scripts and "Galad Trakand" make sense otherwise. 3. I want to know who's playing Gawyn for sure too! 4. I think it's likely Mat he's talking to in the bar. .... where? Maybe you're right. I originally thought it might be Tar Valon or something since that's where Mat and Gawyn are together in the book. I was thinking maybe the Black Ajah somehow let trollacs loose in the city to help cover their escape.... leave during the chaos. 5. YES!!! I am looking forward to the Mat vs Galad & Gawyn fight. 💜

@carolbriscoe9337 9 күн бұрын

Your theories have mostly been right so I'm just going to accept these. Do you think (or suspect) that work on S4 is quietly ongoing? Outlines for the scripts under discussion, locations being scouted, costumes being sewn? Rafe may be busy with the final editing for S3. but I can't see all this time going to waste. Sure, once Amazon commits to S4, Rafe will want to start work immediately. A 2 year hiatus between seasons erodes fan involvement and enthusiasm.

I think Gawyn & Mat would be a good pairing; that would be a good scene. Buuut I don't like that scene. Because Gawyn didn't know himself in the books, not until the end. That's what happens when you grow up pampered without many needs. He was a great character - could've been jealous of the more-handsome Galad, but wasn't; could've been jealous of his to-be-queen sister, but wasn't. And yet he had his flaws because he found real life difficult to navigate when he had to start making his own decisions about right and wrong.

I'd be OK with Galad having his stepmom's name but not with them changing his family tree. I want to see his face when he learns that his sister is having his brother's babies! There is one major change that I'd absolutely love to see in the show: Dain Bornhald gets the Whitecloak redemption arc while Galad becomes an Asha'man instead. He's totally eligible for that, and not even book readers would have any idea if he's going to go mad. The fact that Perrin actually killed Geofram in front of Dain already implies major changes to the Whitecloak storyline, and I think Dain is fairly sympathetic so far. The story could go something like this: Rand learns the identities of his birth mother and brother from the Wise Ones. Galad channels at the end of season 3, seeks Rand out because of the amnesty and Rand tells him about Tigraine and that he's dating Elayne. Considering some of the changes that have already happened, I think there's a non-zero chance of something like this happening.

I find it odd that they wouldn't be willing to include the complexity (I don't see it as convoluted, btw) of the Trakand family tree when we keep hearing that Bezos wanted his own Game of Thrones. I'd think they'd be leaning into it.

@prinefan41 8 күн бұрын

Yeah, Tanchico makes sense. Doing the show in just 8 seasons means lots of stuff needs to be compressed. So accelerating trolloc attacks etc. makes sense. I don't see a need for Galad to be a Trakand instead of a Damodred...or vice versa for Gawyn. Not that big of a deal, though. They'd better hurry, or I'm not gonna live long enough to see all of the show.

@maxsilva11 8 күн бұрын

What? The show absolutely has NOT aligned the Seanchan with the Dark. ONLY Suroth (and perhaps some members of her entourage) were Darkfriends, which is book canon. Turak explicitly gives a speech about his duty to unite the world to defeat the Dark. Turak has a whole scene about not knowing who Ishy is. Renna gives us a window into the average Seanchan citizen's belief that their purpose is to unite the world against the Dark. Ishy thought he'd be about to manipulate the whole empire, but he also thought Falme would be the LB so I don't think his judgement is particularly trustworthy.

Wotseries assumes that audition script is for Gawyn, but it seems more likely to be Galad. He's called the Queen's son, but he doesn't confirm it, just talks about breakfast instead of saying "no I'm her stepson."

An entire video where Gawyn is a major focus and it is only 20 minutes? Jon. I guess you were busy at work this week. I would have expected such a video to be at least an hour. For such an hour video, I expected 5 minutes for Galad; the rest for Gawyn.
