Wheel of Time Season 3 Teaser Spoilers/Speculation

First off, being straight up about what Moraine sees in the rings is good! One, trying to keep it a secret really limits what you can do with her POV - this is one of the biggest emotional stakes for her story in this section of the book. Two, surprise is overrated and letting the viewer share in her dread until it is eventually resolved has the potential to be just as good as what happens in the books and works better in this medium. We probably won't know exactly how it's going to play out

Three, highlighting how Moraine and Rand are both burdened by prophecy is just good writing.

You know what, fuck it. Wheel of Time characters ghost hunting.

Rand does not necessarily believe in ghosts but if there is a ghost he Will try to punch it; but only because it scared one of his friends.

Mat goes in making fun of the whole thing but he’s absolutely terrified the whole time, he jumps at every noise but will deny it to his grave.

Perrin does not believe in ghosts but he does believe in the lack of structural integrity to abandoned buildings and is not happy about it.

Egwene does not believe in ghosts but she owns a ridiculous amount of ghost hunting equipment and takes the whole investigation very seriously despite this.

Nynaeve does not believe in ghosts, thinks your stupid for believing in ghosts, and is only coming to make sure no one hurts themselves.

Elayne surprisingly does believe in ghosts, though she’s very scientific about it. She will prove ghosts are real and refuses to hear otherwise.

Tuon does not believe in “ghosts” don’t be ridiculous that’s a children’s story- demons however-

Avienda does believe in ghosts and thinks doing investigations are extremely rude and disrespectful to the spirits

Faile does not believe in ghosts and is only here because Perrin is here.

Min does believe in ghosts and has in fact seen ghosts, she nearly broke Mat’s arm when he teased her about performing a seance

Gawyn does not believe in ghosts and didn’t want to come, but upon hearing Rand was going to be there he insisted on coming to “protect” Egwene. He spends the entire night glaring at Rand.

Galad does not believe in ghosts but if they Were real it would be wrong to disturb them. He declines coming on principle.

Berelain doesn’t believe in ghosts but was half tempted to go just to annoy Faile, she decided it was too much effort and stayed home with Galad.

Morraine, Lan and Suian all don’t believe in ghosts and think that everyone’s wasting time to doing something so ridiculous

Thom does not believe in ghosts but pretends he does so he can tell scary stories to the boys and scare them because they intrinsically believe everything he says. He finds this very funny.

I have a genuine question for people who watched the Wheel Of Time show while having read the books -

Why did the showwriters change so much stuff? Like, not only did they change some of the worldbuilding and the magic system, but they also removed major character arcs and character moments, changed the characterization and personalities of pretty much all the characters except Egwene, remove many important objects that become extremely important later and even change who the main character is from Rand to Moraine

Edit: Also please dont use the excuse of "oh think of the show as separate from the book". The showrunners advertised it as a WOT adaption, not a story based very loosely on WOT.

Edit 2: Mostly everyone has responded saying that the show cannot realistically adapt everything in the books, but the showrunners also added a lot of things that were not in the books. Such as the episode in season 1 that focuses on the warder character who lost his Aes Sedai who did not exist in the books, or the 'who is the dragon' plot, or Liandrin capturing Mat, or Liandrin having a backstory, or the 'whoever is not the dragon will die at the eye of the world' thing, or Nyneave going through the arches taking a lot longer and being entirely different, or the stuff with Moraine - you get the point.

Nynaeve: *Heals Logain*

Book: and that's when she knew, she fucked up

Surprisingly never spoke about it before but I been loving the Wheel of Time since the show premiered. Y'all know I like fantasy/magic shows so this is a goody imo. I've heard book readers have mixed reactions so fortunately I haven't read the books 😅. But I have been researching/watching things concerning the lore and books. The lore of the world itself is probably my favorite aspect. the Lews Therin flashbacks always get me excited 🔥🔥🔥I like the Ajahs/ Aes Sedai and the way they use magic in this world.Saidin and Saidar are dope concept(love the depiction of masculine and feminine ideals & concepts implemented)Probably the best example of magic I've seen in a while. Especially the way it looks. For me I always imagine with magic u would take your own energy and then form it into the said element u wanted to utilize. Wheel of Time show does this perfectly with the Aes Sedai channeling.. Gotta say Egwene was the best character in Season 2 💯. Her not folding at all had me rooting for her every episode 😂🫡💪🏿.. Also liked the supporting cast more in season 2. From the book spoilers I've read I can't wait to see more Forsaken appear and the growth of Egwene, Rand and Nynaeve👌🏿 . Hopefully this show gets multiple more seasons in the future. Definitely wanna see this story finish in live action. Y'all already know how a lot of magic shows get cancelled/rushed😅😢

[nonbinarylesbianherb]

the fact that Lanfear is SO poweful but Moghedien bodied her instantly.. and shes only ONE of the forsaken that was set free....

yea... I'm worried

[livsoulsecrets]

Not to be dramatic, but if I were Rand and had to be rescued while tied to bed, about to have sex with evil incarnated, I’d just refuse the help: “Nope, leave me here to die cause I’ll not recover from the embarrassment”

[itsjustmeandmyanxiety]

Rand: We need to distract these guys

Moraine: Leave it to me

Moraine: Centaurs have six limbs and are therefore insects. Discuss.

Perrin, Nyneave, and Mat: *Immediately begin arguing*

Lan, watching in horror: Oh this. I don’t like this. I don't like this at all.

Wot Characters and the Taylor Swift song I most associate with them and their favorite Era!(excluding Debut and Tortured Poets Department)

Rand: You’re on Your Own Kid, when asked he consistently says Speak Now

Mat: Cruel Summer, he insists he’s only really listened to Reputation-this is a lie- Midnights is his favorite album

Perrin: Paper Rings, the Lover Album is by and large his favorite- however Fearless is a close second- he just thinks the songs are pretty

Egwene: Wildest Dreams, she’s a Reputation girly first and foremost

Nynaeve: Treacherous, Folklore zero elaboration needed

Elayne: Mastermind, 1989 is her favorite album by far

Min: You Belong With Me, she’s a Red girly and was the one who got Mat to listen to Taylor’s entire discography

Avienda: Red, Avienda isn’t very familiar with all the eras but after Elayne showed her all the albums she picked Evermore

Faile: Stay Stay Stay, just like Egwene she’s a Reputation girly(secretly her favorite is Lover)

Tuon: You’re In Love, Tuon claims to not have any preference but catch her listening to Folklore on repeat

Morraine: The Lucky One, Evermore without a doubt

Siuan: Lavender Haze, she’s a fan of the classics and loves Fearless

Lan: I Know Places, his favorite album is folklore because it’s Nynaeve’s

Thom: Exile, he appreciates the storytelling of Folklore

Brynn: Epiphany, he does not know the names of the albums but he liked most of the songs on Red

Gawyn: Anti-Hero, he insists he doesn’t like Taylor Swift but the answer is 1989

Galad: Karma, without hesitation he says Midnights

Berelain: Slut!, this is a woman who listens to Red, A Lot
