Extremely so!
You have spoilers in this video alone. At least have the common courtesy to give a warning.
I'm both excited and nervous. Because there are 14 books in the series and there are only going to be 8 seasons and the first season is only 8 episodes! So how many books do they plan on cramming into each season and how much will be missing?
@@roberto5934 the video is called "10 things you missed in the WoT trailers" that's the same as them saying, "here's 10 spoilers"
lol bullshit, I'm 40 seconds in and there's all ready a glaring error, the one power and the true source aren't the same thing. The true source is the dark ones version of the one power that makes your eyes go all sparkly if you use it too much.
I am thoroughly impressed! A ton of other outlets get things wrong, backwards or miss the mark completely! Someone on the team that wrote that script KNOWS the Wheel of Time like a true super fan! Tai'shar WatchMojo!
All of this! Plus the pronunciation of all the WoT words is flawless! Tai’shar WatchMojo indeed!
Lmaoooooooo Tai'shar WatchMojo is bloody hilarious! True Blood of WatchMojo indeed!
the pronounciations really make me wonder if the script reader (i think her name might be Rebeccah?) has read/listened to the books. Some of those names are murder to get right.
I specifically clicked this video to see how much WatchMojo would butcher the pronunciations and lore as can be the case with relatively obscure fictional material. WatchMojo and other have done it before in what is clearly 'We must make a video about this because everyone else is' and have never heard of the IP before. Pleasantly surprised as well! Someone there knows their sheet.
True blood of watchmojo??
Wow WatchMojo, you absolutely killed it! Well done on the WoT research. Never thought I'd see a WoT video on Watch Mojo, this is great.
Holy CRAP did Watch Mojo do well in this video! Flawless. Love you, folks!
Best thing is that she actually pronounces everything correctly.
Because she's a fan. There's no way she was just reading a script, I bet she wrote the script.
I thought Nyneave's name was pronounced somewhat differently in the glossary, but the way she pronounced it is the way I always said it in my head, anyway. But otherwise, yes - most of the pronunciations are spot on.
@@lisamarieligreci-newton7804 Nine-eve?
I noticed that too. Very impressive.
And Thom's 'mustache knuckling'! I'm an avid fan and reader but even I missed that!
This is one of the best "big" breakdowns I've seen of The Wheel of Time so far, and I think I've watched them all so far. Someone on the staff is definitely a fan and knows their stuff, kudos!
Got the distinct impression that Rebecca has read the series or at least some of it. That's awesome 🤩
It’s most likely the person that wrote the script
@@chocolatefudgebrowni3225 Agreed, however her pronunciation is perfect, so maybe she has!
@@chocolatefudgebrowni3225 It was longtime fan Durandir/Nick who wrote the script. Old hands taking care of WatchMojo. Rebecca clearly took care to get the pronunciations right
I agree with all the other commitments about there being a fan of the books, it the best break down and analysis of the clip yet.
Thank you watch mojo
Damn - MsMojo has read the books at least throug TDR. Props from a superfan who is actually IN the books ;). Sanderson used fan names for characters as he finished the series and I got to be one! (Krisa - AMemory of Light) :)
Glad you liked it! (I scripted this one). Very jealous that you're IN the books. I have a photo of myself with Jordan at a book signing that's my pride and joy; I snuck it into another video, the Fantasy episode of How Geek Culture Became Pop Culture. Thanks for the comment, and I hope Tuon never turned the tables on you Krisa.
@@Nick-dd2pe You have so much Ji 🙏, we've been so lucky of having fellow fans like you involved in the show and it's promotion 🤗
Is your name Krisa? Brandon Sanderson doesn't write you in unless you use gender-neutral prononuns
If you're such a fan, you should be as disappointed as me of how they didn't really follow what people is described to look like in the books!
Like Siuans piercing blue eyes, Moraine being 5'2" tall, Egwene 5'3" and Nynaeve 5'4", not at all as tall as those who plays them!
....and you can shrink actors to fit into whatever size needed; LoTR showed us that!
I made a post further up on a couple of other things they've done wrong, if you'd like
@@SgtMclupus actors appearance shouldn’t matter, their acting skill is what is important. None of the actors are what I had in my mind when I read the books but that doesn’t mean I’m not looking forward to seeing how they bring these characters to life
Finally, a popular media channel that actually knows what they're talking about when it comes to The Wheel of Time. Whoever wrote this script has obviously read the books and is very familiar with them. Thank you for not just jumping on the WoT hype train and putting out an ill-researched video simply for clicks and views.
Aaaah this is my favorite book series I'm so excited for more people to learn about this world and its amazing characters.
Thank you, for correctly referring to "the Dark One's *TAINT* " 👄...this is important
I don’t get the joke about Taint and I’ve read the books.
@@themanmrbijok7364 If you're not American you may not get it. Here in the US "taint" is a slang term for the area between a person's anus and their genitals. So you can see how repeated references to "cleansing the dark one's taint" can cause some snickering.
I'm American and I didnt know this. 🤷♂️
Haven't even gotten through the whole video and the fact she pronounced everything correctly and knew the names. Love it. Thanks for being on it and awesome.
Whoever wrote this did an AMAZING job with pronunciation, jokes, and nods to the book content. Good job WatchMojo.
I was blown away by that too! They did their research.
*lurking in the comments* Thank you :D
@@Nick-dd2pe For this work alone, when the day's become dark and the seasons turn cold, may you shelter in the palm of the Creator's hand, and may the last embrace of the mother welcome you home. Tai'shar Manatheren!
"Sniffing and skirt smoothing" was easily enough to win a sub. I love when a channel like this doesn't half-ass it. Well done on your WoT lore!
Only someone who's read the books would know that 'Narg Smart' Well done, WatchMojo!
Excellent video! Great job of working a summary on the story and lore while pointing out some Easter eggs from the trailer!
"One of the five of you" is definite Aes Sedai speak. Technically true, but deliberately misleading. There's no chance Moiraine thinks that the Dragon could be a woman. But she's speaking the way she does because she wants to convince the girls to come with her. It's one of the ways they're going to condense the plot for TV I'm sure.
I sincerely hope so. Otherwise that would completely change the story.
Totally agree
There are Taver'ran like moments for the women in the books. Perhaps, the show is making them Taver'ran to reflect that? After all, they were almost or just as crucial to the victory in the Last Battle as the three men.
Plot changes are likely and I'm ok with that but they're not going to change who the dragon is. I feel pretty confident about that much
I dont think they would change who the Dragon is, of course. I just think they are putting more emphasis early on how important Egwene and Nyneave will be in the Last Battle. SPOILERS!!! After all, it was Egwene's sacrifices and strength that reunited the Tower, destroyed many of the Shadow's channelers and repaired the pattern from bale fire. It was Nynaeve who healed Stilling and Gentling, helped cure Saidin, and was side by side with Rand in the fight. They may not have been called Taver'ran, but like Talmanes said to Egwene in Path of Daggers (or maybe it was Crown of Swords) she comes pretty close, as does Nynaeve.
Wow, so much of this was right, and it wasn't full of spoilers!
Nice Watchmojo! As a fan of the series I can tell you did your research and got the details right! Great video analysis!
Hell yes, i started reading the books in spring of 1990 when they came out and lived through 2+ year waits in between books, hi death and waiting another 2 years for TGS :)
Me too! Well, I think I started in about 1995. But I remember those waits between books - the endless theorizing online, and rereading the series again before each new book came out!
i started just after his death without knowing it and when i hit the end i went searching for the next one and freaked out that he had passed away without finishing!
Waiting for those damned books got me into other various series. Ever read "The deed of Paksenarrion" by Elizabeth Moon? There are several prequels and followup books after the initial 3. I found more she has written to go with it all. It's a great series and took up the time between Jordan's books. I bought several first edition hardbacks of them; now sitting on a shelf because I'll never touch them again since I can have them all on a Kindle. Tor books are made cheaply; the spine breaks too easily when reading/handling the books for untold hours.
This is brilliant. Every fact shown in the video is correct. Looks like someone who has read the books and someone who loves the books has worked on this script. Very impressive. Thanks
So satisfied with that top 10/breakdown... You really nailed the details!
Great job!! Both the Trailer, and your analysis. It's nice to see folks that actually know the source materiel they are analysizing.
Amen to that!!! Perfectly said 💝💝💝
cant wait!!! In book 7 right now and its my favourite series ever!!!
👍 hands down best series I've ever read.
The next few books are gonna be tough to get through but it's worth it.
This is my literary home!!!! I cannot wait!!!!
Me too! When I think of my teenage years, Wheel of Time is the first thing that comes to mind. I must have read The Eye of the World at least five times, and books 2-9 three or four times (10-14 only once ... so far!).
I'm really very very excited! I started reading the books when Jordan was still working on Book 8 or so and reread the complete series form book one every time a new book came out. I've read it many many times over and was afraid this show might disappoint, but it is absolutely fantastic! Can't wait for it to start. Kudos for this breakdown! Love the details and correct pronunciation! Hahaha!
I am so very glad you covered this.
I hope we get to see Lan fight in the Gap...in a throwback scene or two...watching the Diadem Lord of Battle the Dai Shan fighting in the Blight...waited 30 years to see it
I must applaud whomever did this- it is plainly obvious that they had read the books & are a fan… A lot of channels will have someone do background work & explain it to the host/narrator, but you can tell by the butchered pronunciations & twisted facts that they are oblivious/ignorant to what they are talking about. This was done WONDERFULLY and as a huge WoT fan, it means a lot to us fans. Thank you! Much love & respect 💙❤️💚💛🤎🤍👽🖤 (no Gray heart to represent the Gray Ajah, so hence the alien 😅)
The wheel weaves as the wheel wills. Goosebumps.
Brilliant re-cap and, absolutely nailed everything, from the pronunciation to the tiniest of details. Nick, Cleary pored over this multiple times and know the background of the draft material.
To the commenters. Please don’t throw any spoilers in that may ruin the story for newcomers. Lest you receive the Dragons Fang on your door. There is no chance that the identity of the ‘dragon’ will be changed. Yes things have to be condensed. There are a couple of things that I was a touch disappointed in from the trailer. But I’ll reserve judgement until I see it all in context. As for changes that may have been necessary, for the show, (there are quite a few characters, and even on a second re-read trying to keep track is tricky). I suspect though, if the first season as much of a hit as expected. We may find the less deviance from the story. Never forget,
‘The Wheel Weaves as the Wheel Wills’
Read this series 3 times. So hyped the show is getting this attention. Hope it's successful. Love how thorough your video is compared to literally everyone elses.
Good job, very good job. I have only one remark but the video is so good I'll keep it to myself. Cheers!
Okay this was done surprisingly well, NICE!
Thanks for doing this. The non book readers around me do need some catching up help. This was smart of you. I read the books as they came out. I'm totally immersed. But this still helps me to stay relivint. It's really deep stuff. I struggle at times to remember the little details. Thanks again.
I heard small amounts of Thomas Betversen’s RADA. Such an amazing epic song. I especially like the non-chorus version.
The Taint 😂 oh man that's great
This was super impressive! The amount of detail you noticed. That being said, the books refer to Mat, Perrin, Rand, as well as Ban Crawe and Lem Thane having the interest of the Myrddraal. Implying those were the 5.
This trailer was much better! Got me really excited!
Over all this was Excellent work!
The Wheel of Time and WatchMojo! Love it!
Love your picks :) A bit spoiler-ish for non-readers but not toooo much.
Great video. I have been a huge fan since about book 5. Im thrilled to see Wheel of time portrayed this way
Tai’shar Watch Mojo! This was spot on!
This trailer breakdown has more fan service than the actual trailer.
Surprisingly accurate. I was ready to complain about what was wrong with it, but I'm happy to be shown that my first instinct was wrong.
Never heard of the books but looks great. Got me hooked already.
Wow whoever wrote this knows their stuff! Amazing delivery, too!
Details on point! You can tell that this was done by fans =)
Nice job on this Durandir/Nick! Good to see that WatchMojo's WoT coverage is being covered by the old hands. Please cover all WoT content on this channel in the future!
Also great job on the pronunciations Rebecca! You both did great!
Wow! I’m feeling some super fan mojo here! This was written by someone that knows The Wheel of Time, not someone who glossed over it. Excellent work! Loved it!
So exciting!!
Actually a good video, well done WatchMojo
Wow, good job Mojo!
Awesome video. Well written by someone who knows WoT
They can condense the 14 books considerably w/o losing the key story. The books are very good but REPETITIVE overall.
Can't fault Jordan for selling more books while he was with us...
@Major Problems it's just a matter or perspective. It didn't feel stretched to me.
The books written by RJ was great but those written after he died were rubbish, you could tell they were rushed and crapped on the overall story. I hope that the series isnt destroyed by the woke/PC crowd that it appears to be.
Well researched
I have to say WatchMojo you guys did your homework on this and us fans really appreciate it. keep up the amazing content
Wow, a lot of great things to point out to those unfamiliar with the series without spoiling anything! Bravo!
May you always find water and shade, WatchMojo!
Great content of the video! It seems someone knows what they are talking about. My one suggestion is in regards to the sound levels. The trailer sound was much louder than the voice of the presenter.
There’s only 60 braid tugs in the whole series??😳 ain’t no way 🤣
Great video! In terms of glimpses of fan-favourite characters, you missed Uno (but you don’t have to pick up any cards). Just before we see Agelmar, there is a bald Shienaran with what looks like the strap to an eyepatch on his head.
The video would be demonetized for just mentioning Uno lol
Wow good catch
I came into the show expecting adaptations, and alterations. That said, the Dragon Reborn can only be male. It's part of the fear, and danger in the Dragon. The male channeler who fought the Dark One, sealed him away, and led to the Breaking of the World with all male channelers going insane. This Perrin iteration caught me by surprise, too, but I actually like how it played out in the story. I'm trying not to be one those purist snobs. lol
so now that the season is over what are your thoughts?
@@Spoiler_Alertist I can see points of hope, but the season finale left a very nasty taste. SPOILERS: I still like the Perrin adaptation. I don't like what they've done with Mat. His darkness developed over time. He was just a go-happy trickster. They depict him as this dirty guy. They trashed his parents, which not sure if that'll work out later on--assuming Abel and Tam still are together in this story line. Rand, the character seems fine. He does fumble around a lot in the books, especially at the start, but they didn't do the last part justice at all. I understand why most the events happened in Tar Valon, though that leaves out the daughter-hier--if memory serves me right. I'm sure they can work with all that though. I just see points of hope, and a whole lot of wth-was-that. Making them all ta'veren also made no sense to me. Still stand with the Dragon can only be a man. It's one the HUGE main points in the story, and the fear in it. I don't care about race changes, though I don't know if they plan on keeping with the characteristics in the books. If memory serves me right, the people of Tear were the darkest in Westland, and the Atha'an mere were the only ones depicted as straight up black. The Seanchan piqued my interest, though I ain't sure about the facepaint, gaudy outfits for damane, or the a'dam. Hopefully season two fixes some things, and does better.
@Byron Holmes I like your balanced optimistic take here. I dont necessarily agree with it but I can appreciate the optimism. I didn't mind Perrin's adaptation either. it shortcuts having to explain his worry about hurting people accidentally and his hesitancy toward the axe. but he doesnt do anything besides kill his wife throughout the entire season. they've butchered Matt and his family. feels like completely different characters. Rand just seems bland. it doesn't help they stole Tarwins gap from him and gave it to a woman who couldn't make it as a novice in the white tower. my biggest gripe is the nauseating level of feminism. every major moment or showing of power was given to women. even Nynaeve telling Lan how to track in the blight! like really? it just seems they've made changes not out of necessity for tv but for a "message." its very sad to me. especially since RJ's world was already full of diversity and extremely strong female characters. they won't be getting my support for season 2. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me though!!
@@Spoiler_Alertist They tried so hard to make women look so strong that they made them look like incompetent fools..... That was my take on that, but I intentionally skipped past the woke-ism they apparently just had to put in there. I'll at least start season two. Season one, I can't say it was what I hoped. The one good thing that came out of it is that I started "reading" the whole series again through audiobooks. Between work, an autistic child, and trying to get prepared for college, I just don't have time to read them the good ole fashioned way. lol You are right though. The entire world of RJ was full of powerful men, and women, all without the needed help to appear powerful. I like how folks bring up stuff like spankings, pig tails, or stuff like how all the men and women think everyone else is better at understanding the opposite sex.... As if that's such a strange notion. It seems a lot of people project their own issues into the books, and make it out like that was the author's intention.
Good quality video
Robert Jordan: provides a detailed glossary of terms with phonetic pronunciations at the end of every book
WoT fans: "Nyah!"
I started watching it, I'm liking the story so far. I've never read the books, they're in my TBR though, so maybe I'll start reading soon.
After watching the first season I think Watchmojos research team had more book readers than the actual show makers.
My husband favorite book series is finally coming to life!!!! I am super excited!
Wotmania brought me :D Great job on the script, Nick!
Great stuff there. But you didn't write one very important thing fan misses in the trailer:
Me missing the news of WoT getting it's own series before getting recommended this video
WOW, I'm thrilled that we now have a new series that's going to explode like GOT did! When I found out they were making this a series I was skeptical but NO, FINALLY THEY HOT IT RIGHT....now if the writers, producers etc stay true to form it's going to be epic as was this analysis from MOJO! Well done!!! ⭐
it's sad to look back at the excitement of fans only to know the utter disappointment it turned out to be. I wish they'd cancel it and stop tarnishing the name of an amazing story.
this is absolutely the best mass media coverage of this show that i have seen as of yet.
I have always loved the Ogeir Loil, his name gives us a lesson on his own personality Loyal and he is thru all the books. He remains Loyal to the cause, he always does the right thing. Even when the right thing isn't always the easy thing. He is kind and loving a tru friend. No matter the cost.
Rand is both blessed and cursed having three women as girlfriends at the same time and all of them knowing about each other and being happy to share.
Somebody on the Watch Mojo definitely knows Wheel of Time. I started reading the series in the 1999 and there actually WERE several things in this trailer that I missed! I LOLd (for real) at 'Narg smart'. The real question is if Bela gets a real role :)
Can't wait for episode 4 already
Cool
Top thing I missed in the trailer is any resemblance to the books
#spoilers? lmao love it, helping explain the details people might not appreciate from the books. diggin it.
Wow never stumbled upon a watchmojo video this early!
Me neither 😁
Impressive deep dive knowledge of the entire series. Few outlets that aren't actually WoT fansites have gotten even 1/10 the accuracy, let alone the lore, this well.
In all seriousness, I thought you guys where gonna butcher this video. But you guys did well. Giving enough information without going into spoiler territory. Good job
Someone at WatchMojo is a Dragonsworn! You have no toh towards me.
3:42 Seems he cut off that Yellow's finger for her ring before burning her. Research well done, WatchMojo! Sniffing and smoothing of skirts? Only a reader would know!
While I'm a HUGE fan of Brando-Sando, I really appreciate, and I know he does too, the fact that his name isn't being tossed around all willy-nilly with this show. He would want the late Robert Jordan to have all the credit, when fans finally get the adaptation they've been waiting literally decades for. I appreciate that. Like, a ton.
He's one of the evil pieces of trash helping Amazon throw away Robert Jordan's story
@@customsongmaker dude...I know him personally...he's a serious contender for thr actual biggest WoT fan in the entire world. But sling that bile. That, and porn, are the foundations of the internet, after all. Lol
@@TrashGunner I know him personally myself. He's a paid shill for Amazon, lying to the fans and pretending the show is good. His main concern is putting gender-neutral pronouns into all of his new books. I asked him why Amazon was making such drastic changes to the story, and he said "Because we, the people making the show, aren't fans of the books. So the more changes, the better."
Well done...Accepted....you will be Aes Sedai in ten short years...
Bravo, WatchMojo! Very impressive work!
Ummm so... due to a series of unfortunate events, I read the 1st 10 books while I was a Friggin' Inmate.
I honestly spent 19 months horizontal, reading. I dont like people & Robert's writing was my best companion! Probably kept me alive, avoiding people
My husband rides from World’s End toward Tarwin’s Gap, toward Tarmon Gai’don. Will he ride alone?
nice
Yeah, there's plenty of moments where things are pronounced SO much differently from in my head. Also, if that was Loial at the Waygates, than he's way shorter than he should be. I wonder if they did that on purpose.
I really enjoyed Season 1. Now, I can't wait for Season 2!!!
Number one missing thing is
The original story!
well there were 2 other boys close to the right age as mentioned in the books. Moraine reduces it to the three before they leave
Hope this will be awesome !
Ironically, Morraine must break her oaths to save the world. That's called foreshadowing done correctly.
No. Moraine is bound by the three oaths. She is literally incapable of doing so without renouncing them with a binding rod. That said there's definitely a bit of wiggle room.
@@ravenwind420 Not to spoil anything, but she gets her hands on a binding rod. ;)
Tai'Shar Rebecca! great job
Oh, the moustache knuckling… this is so well written and researched, well done!
Interesting -- you did a lot of research. There's a lot I've forgotten over the years.
