It was so obvious from the very first scene in the first episode I was expecting a twist.
In fact, I'm still kind of expecting a twist.
Now they've picked a person, the way the book did it was this - They gave the history of the breaking of the world and the Dragon Reborn in the prologue, then introduces the first character after description of scenery - Page 1 or early Page 2. When Moraine comes, they do the whole guess who shtick for a while, but anyone familiar with the Chosen One trope already knows from that spoiler.
Also just to piggy back the majority of the first book is from THAT person’s POV. Moiraine maybe gets like 2 chapters where she’s a POV character and if I remember correctly the other two Ta’veren get 2 chapters each. Everything else is from
Rand
So there’s really no “mystery” whatsoever of who the Dragon Reborn is and honestly it wasn’t necessary.

Am i the only one not feeling the Egwene casting? The actress has no real presence and honestly is avg looking as hell. The mole on her nose is distracting
The character starts off slow, granted they slow down the pacing and allow for development, she'll grow on you.

I posted that clip of pregnant Tigraine fukking up those soldiers in the group chat I have with friends and converted 4 brehs into watching this off of the strength of that clip alone. I don’t know how these studios/companies have not figured out this shyt yet
all the streets want is a grand story with good character arcs and amazing fighting sequences with on point choreography where dudes getting their wigs pushed back and legendary heroes actually come across as legendary
I posted the clip without a description and the notifications went brazy brehs hit the

Ok with changes. Only so much they can put in 8 episodes
Glad they skipped over the long journey to caemlyn. That shyt dragged like hell especially Mat and Rands part. The stuff with Queen Morgase will probably be pushed to next season. Would have been nice for Perrin to meet Elyas and his wolves. Bring some clarity to what he turning into. Actually thought they’ve done an okay job with nyneve and Lans romance. The green man seems skippable. Wonder what that budget gonna look like when Rand goes off

Not a book reader, have only seen the first episode which was decent. Should I continue with season 1?
They will have no choice to but to increase the budget . Im expecting some movie effects by the time DW come around and Rand show these folks what he’s capable ofOk with changes.

Good to know someone else felt the same way.

Good to know someone else felt the same way.
I’m on my re-read. Egwene is OK from books 1-4 and then she becomes insufferable after that until the ending
The REAL character I can’t fukking stand right now is
Faile. Good LORD is she a fukking annoying bytch. And she literally physically abuses Perrin at the drop of a hat. I can’t believe he didn’t drive his axe into that c*nt’s skull and leave her for Chiad and Bain to weep over
Yea, I’m hoping they cut that character out completely in the show .
I like Egwene in Book 1-4, then Book 8. But I still haven't gone past 9, so...but overall she's annoying AF. There's no way the boys would ever be friends with her IRL.
Which is one of the changes from the book, I see them making a generic plot point. They weren't really friends IMO or ever close to her, just grew up in same town with some baby flirting as young'ns...and that promise to...
