VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE posted:Rand's LTT memories wants to use his hands for spinning certain webs. Gwaihir posted:MY HANDS!!! WHY CAN'T I MOVE MY HANDS????? This, it is explicitly book canon that physical movements of hands, arms, etc are often tied to weaving the power. They don't have to be, but they often are anyway. Its like a meditation mantra or whatever. The motion only has power because you've mentally trained yourself to do it that way. The example that got used at Dumai's Wells was that all Aes Sedai train themselves to throw fireballs with a physical throwing motion, like they're lobbing an actual ball that has weight. They have a mini freakout when they see the Aiel Wise Women throwing Fireballs without moving their hands at all. They even comment that most Aes Sedai couldn't throw a fireball without the motion even if they tried and even though they know they don't need it because they've mentally programmed themselves for so many generations. If you wanted to do a weave without whatever motion you practiced with, it'd be like learning it from scratch. As I said a few pages back, its why the Interpretive Dance thing doesn't bother me, and why Valda cutting off his victim's hands as a way to prevent her channeling was such a cool detail.

Also wasn't there a thing about how aes sedai can't weave if they can't see the weaves? So there already was a way to block them off, this just ups the evil factor.

The different channelers having different degrees of hand movements is one of my favourite little world building details that I didn't think there'd be any chance of making it into the show. So I was really glad to see Logain just standing there as he weaved. I do think the Aes Sedai are about 30% too somatic about it but it works well enough.

RC Cola posted:Seriously. Show elaborate weaves, just a crazy battle while they stand still. Then just cut to a normal person's perspective mid fight. Just two sweaty ladies staring at each other. Then cut back to the battle and intense music I always think it's my imagination painting the scene this way (complete with Muzak playing softly while the janitor walks by), but it's pretty much literally the text. Seems obvious he was trying to set up cues for an adaptation almost quote:A man who came in then, or any woman unable to channel, would have seen only two women facing each other across the white silk rope from a distance of less than ten feet. Two women staring at one another in a vast hall full of strange things. They would have seen nothing to say it was a duel. No leaping about and hacking with swords as men would do, nothing smashed or broken. Just two women standing there. But a duel all the same, and maybe to the death. Against one of the Forsaken.

I'm really waiting for that moment when they make clear that only channelers and the viewers can see the weaves, that's going to be a cool moment.

i'm curious as to when they're going to change perrin's eyes. there's no way it doesn't happen this season and there's most likely going to be some event that causes it, i'm sure.

The first episode hinted at this a little bit by seeing Moraine's results before the camera view changed to Egwene and Nynaeve when you could then see the weaves.

I think it's going to happen while he's with the tinkers and it freaks him out and that's what gets them to leave them and run into the white cloaks.

He'll kill some whitecloaks in defense of the tinkers, most likely. And they'll send him away for doing violence.

Episode 5 is called: Blood Calls Blood and the description says: Perrin and Egwene run into a familiar face, which means someone they've met before. From what we know of teasers and poo poo they get captured by whitecloaks, so it must be Valda's contingent that they come across. Hopper will probably communicate with him and help them escape and that'll be the first appearance of the golden eyes.

I also reckon they'll be clearly explaining the wolfbrother thing this week so to get viewers thinking maybe the Dragon's Perrin instead of Mat or Nynaeve

I suspect they'll just have him hulk out from time to time and add it in post production rather than have him wear contacts for years. This looks like it was added in post

Yeah, I am all for practical effects as much as possible, but this show has a budget of $texas, so I would prefer they don't ask a young actor to risk his eyesight.

it's fun to be able to speculate based on what we already know, since it's inevitably going to be a bit different. like having the pieces to a jigsaw puzzle but having no idea what the completed picture is supposed to be.

So I've spent a bit of time mulling over what they've done with Liandrin in the show and how much I love it. Showing her as being super pissed and almost burning herself out to control Logain I though was an excellent touch, and shows that whatever other loyalties she may have she's still an Aes Sedai and a Red first and foremost. Plus having Nynaeve see her in action makes it way more believable that Nynaeve and the others tag along with Liandrin later on if they set up that story arc from book 2 the same way.

I also like them fleshing out Lan & Nynaeve, whose romance is kinda out of left field a bit. The Expanse did this too--by which I mean bringing in some characters early and/or giving them increased roles to make their later plot points less jarring--and it worked there, too!

Curious if they are going to be mashing up Aginor and Ishamael considering the physical appearance of Ba'alzamon in the dream sequences. Or maybe they'll cast all 13+ (the + is for some of the reincarnations and aliases) Forsaken, who knows?

Johnny Joestar posted:they've done really well with characters in general so far, i feel. genuinely excited to see how rand turns out Pretty excited for him to spend like 1 and a half seasons unconscious towards the end Seriously I really hope they edit down some of the later books. Through book 6/7 is great, then I feel like 8 - 10 could really use some tightening up. It's pretty understandable since Robert Jordan was real sick at that point, and while the books are still good, you could really condense a lot of the character arcs without losing a lot Presuming the show makes it that far I guess. My understanding is that this season covers book 1, a bunch of book 2 and some of 3 all kinda mixed together so with 4 seasons so far who knows
