I'd wager that they give the Danish girl acting direction to do her version of a Polish accent on English to achieve the "Aiel" accent.

That almost-white hair makes me think Birgitte for some reason.

Gnoman posted:That almost-white hair makes me think Birgitte for some reason. Ya know what, that actually tracks since if season two covers most of Great Hunt, then Birgitte should show up when Mat blows the horn. And maybe she shows up early in Tel'aran'rhiod watching Egwene's first experiments with Dreamwalking? You may be onto something there.

Lanfear's only meeting with the supergirls at this point is as Else (who is already cast) so I'm doubting that it's her. I also feel like that when we see Selene we'll know it.

I know hair can be dyed, but it would just feel wrong to cast a blonde as Lanfear. Hating blondes is so central to her character.

In casting news discourse we're still on "but I thought Elayne is a blonde", I see. For a lot of people who were supposed to have read the books a lot of comments I read from the usual places seemed to have missed the fact that the royal blood of Andor looks pretty Aiel-ish.

For a lot of people who were supposed to have read the books a lot of comments I read from the usual places seemed to have missed the fact that the royal blood of Andor looks pretty Aiel-ish. It's such a small detail after all, who really would catch that. To be fair, there are plenty of blonde Aiel. To be more fair, I know there's no actual way to be even vaguely familiar with the story and make that mistake. To be most fair, there is perhaps no more meaningless thing to consider when evaluating a casting choice than the actor's hair color.

It's pretty easy to just blithely assume Min, Elayne, and Aviendha are: Brunette, Blonde, Redhead. I mean, it's wrong, but I think I just focused on the "gold" part of "red-gold curls" for a long time. edit: Like, when Lanfear complains about Ilyena, calling her something like a sun-haired trollop, Rand thinks she means Elayne.

Orrrrrr maybe someone screwed up the sun during the Breaking and it's redder in the Third Age than the AoL. They rearranged continents, I can easily imagine an insane Aes Sedai staring up at it and screaming FIGHT ME while drinking from a firehose of saidin.

The thing that vaguely bugs me about this gif every time I see it is that it implies that everybody tugs their braid, and when I started actually reading it I was surprised to learn that it was specifically a Nynaeve thing. Makes me wonder how closely the gif maker even read it (Or why they didn't pick on more obvious things, like puckered scars or smiles that don't reach your eyes or crossing your arms beneath your breasts)

Legit complaints about braid tugging are how I know someone is just determined to hate the series. Making fun of it while recognizing that Nynaeve is neurotic as gently caress is how I know someone loves the series. It's a useful litmus test.

I really enjoyed when it becomes apparent that she's doing that because the braid is a sign of adulthood and the combination of her developing the spark and being incredibly powerful make her seem much younger than she is so she, at first, did it to consciously draw attention to "Her, I'm an adult!" and then it became a subconscious tic that made her the world's worst poker player.

Do the guys have anything like that? I can’t remember, if I had to guess it’s because an old white guy has trouble writing female characters.

Many of the men, but especially Lan, have "his face softened, if stone could be said to soften" here and there as a too often repeated phrase. Matt has his "best smile" when trying to ingratiate himself to people, which never works because it's implied his best smile looks incredibly insincere. Thom blows out his moustaches a lot. But the guys generally don't get as much of the visible tells for their internal emotional state because RJ has a real hard-on for representing his men as stoic. And the more generally competent they are the more stoic or outwardly unemotional they usually are.
