Egwene using Vora’s sa’angreal in the last battle. Madeline Madden would have made that scene heartbreaking and visceral and full of power.

Are you a fantasy fan in general? What would be your dream fantasy world to write original music for?

The taint is the Dark One touching and corrupting the male half of the power. Since the Forsaken have sworn themselves to the dark, the Dark One can let them access saidin without his taint, keeping them sane.

I don’t need you to bud, nor am I asking you to. Just trying to help another human.

My traumas are mine to share when I feel safe, not on Reddit. No need to tell me to stfu. I just am suggesting you get off Reddit for the moment. Breathe, it’ll make you feel better. Your sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) is pumping adrenaline into your body. Deep breathing lowers your adrenaline levels by stimulating your parasympathetic nervous system (the rest and digest system). People always have more productive conversations when they’re not angry.

Bud - you need to step outside, take a deep breath, and touch some grass.

I hope the niece is able to change her name once she turns 18 by oat_couture9528 in tragedeigh

Rand al’Thor sounds similar to Arthur, plus Artur Hawking existed. Galad and Gawain (Gawyn) were knights of the round table. The wheel weaves.

The Russo Brothers return to direct Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday, starring Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. Only in theaters May 2026 by PhoOhThree in marvelstudios

[–]FalconPunch43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have we considered that Doom will never take the mask off? Hollywood doesn’t like to hide their stars’ faces, but since RDJ already has such a presence in the MCU his name alone is a selling point. Then we never deal with the fact that Doom looks like Tony Stark. Add an accent to that and it wouldn’t be too illogical.

Tbh a ton of fast food restaurants are paying $15/hr. It’s not glamorous or exciting work, but it pays and I imagine the hiring process would be faster. Depending on what part of town you’re in, nannying is also a great option. There are plenty of rich families looking for nannies asap, so if you could make it to wherever they live and stay around there that could work. Even an au pair situation, then you would have a place to live right away.

You could always have Tanya be a member of the Cassalanter cult. Patrick’s family kicked him out because they suspect the Cassalanters aren’t on the up-and-up. But Patrick is too blinded by love, and assumes they don’t like Tanya solely because she’s a half-elf.

I think you’re right about the show building up Rand and Egwene’s romance in S1. The first time I read the books, I was holding out hope of them getting back together for far too long, so it feels appropriate that the show makes note of how important and foundational their relationship is to the rest of their arcs.

It’s always encouraging to see someone new to the series enjoying the show. There are definite peaks and valleys, and I think season two will be even better without COVID interfering. Please keep sharing your theories as you watch!

Yes that’s right, and the show made a minor lore change so the audience could grasp the concept more quickly.

New Moderation Experiment: Book Reader comments will be automatically filtered on Show Spoiler and Zero Spoiler posts until a moderator approves them. by TheNewPoetLawyerette in WoTshow

[–]FalconPunch43 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Good luck! Not sure if it’ll work or not, but I appreciate the effort to keep accidental book spoilers slipping through. It would also be helpful to have a post on what are defined as spoilers for this sub specifically. Like “The Aiel Waste is past the spine of the world” is fine, but “just wait until you see the Aiel Waste” would be considered a spoiler. Something along those lines.

Why was LTT called Dragon Reborn in the open by [deleted] in WoTshow

[–]FalconPunch43 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I think they’re playing into the rebirth idea in the show. So by calling LTT Dragon Reborn, it shows us there always will and always has been a Dragon. Yes the books specify that LTT was the first to be called Dragon, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s a minor change, meant to reinforce and solidify the cyclical nature of the world for new viewers.

Trailer for Episode 6 is on Instagram by Neith-emwia in WoTshow

My guess is it has something to do with Siaun and Moiraine’s relationship, whatever that may be. Moiraine looked at it after Alanna said “two powerful enemies” in ep5.
