New Nynaeve Spot ad

[Skipp]

So people have been seeing ads for WoT that have new content.  Some people have been awesome and have started to record them.

 

Here is a quick teaser for Nynaeve with context for the epic braid flip!.

 

 

[DaddyFinn]

Pretty nice. Tar Valon at night ? 

 

Aand Moiraine said "one of you". ?

I expect someone to complain about missing black veil. Maybe it's lost during the fight.

 

Edit. These images are from an in-app teaser that some people have seen. Not the Nynaeve clip.

They're doing this on purpose to keep us confused. Next it'll be "one of the six of you" (the sixth candidate is Bela of course) ?

Those are excellent clips. 

[Rose]

The visual of Nynaeve emerging from the pool full of Trolloc blood in the shape of the Aes Sedai symbol! They're really going heavy on the symbolism and I love it.

 

Also Mat's incredulous voice in the second clip is very in character.

Could be?

 

 

Also who's that guy dressed in white to Rand's left?

so, it seems we'll see a lot more of the winternight fighting. all the main characters will have their own moment of spotlight, fighting for their lives. looks spectacular.

 

the aiel fighting bare-faced is... troubling. i hope it's an accident. like, she was veiled but she loses her veil a moment, in a plot device to show she's a woman.

I hope so too. I don't see any reason to get rid of the black veils completely

I too am hoping it just fell off but with live action visual media you are paying for the actor's face and expressions.  Very common for them to remove helmets and the like for that reason.  So I am unsure how much of the veils we will be seeing.

That's a good point though we'll see their face when they aren't fighting. Makes it easier to use stunt doubles ?

You're not wrong and that makes for an excellent point to keep the Veils in most fighting circumstances.

[Agitel]

Keep in mind, the way TV works, we'll see outfits tweaked, maybe black veils introduced later. It could be any number of things. Shows are full of lots of little redesigns/improvements. They may introduce the veils circumstantial.

 

Or maybe it just fell off. But what was said above is true. On TV they like to show faces, at least for important characters. How many space suits on TV have lights inside the helmet to light up the face? Good for TV, really unrealistic and counterproductive in reality.

Bela is the true dragon reborn. That's my story and I'm sticking too it.

That's ridiculous!

 

Everyone knows Bela is the Creator in mortal disguise

[king of nowhere]

they could use diaphanous veils that don't hide much

[Pandemonium]

I was just thinking if they only do 8 seasons and 8 episodes per season, this series could be continuous action scenes if they wanted.

 

Literally every episode can have a cool showdown or battle and each season can end in a key battle.  This could be one of the most action packed shows ever

I hope we get 10 episodes at some point. There's just so much stuff.

I actually would not like this. Give me character moments, breathing room, and politics please!

Yes. I want a story about the characters not a bunch of stabby stabby slash slash.

definitely

no battle will be interesting without proper setup and character development.  I actually dont like series which glance over the characters and don't build the rules of the magic systems.

   I'm sure lots of battles can be dropped but there are so many fights and battles that are seen as critical lore of wheel of time.  just including most of those will take alot of episode real estate.

Noticed that too. Neat stuff.

 

Though, I'm put off by the scene before where Nyn acts like an experienced special forces fighter.

Not liking that. If I want to see some stupid rule of cool nonsense I'll put on a Michael Bay movie.

not my impression. there was nothing experienced in what she did. she was chased, she hid. her opponent passed her by, she took an opportunity. there's nothing she did that any normal person couldn't have reasonably done in the same situation.

of course, the trolloc passing her by, and stopping there with a knife just within reach that she could take, was a stroke of luck. but then, there's so much ta'veren power in emond field, it wouldn't have been completely impossible to have the whole trolloc army trip on themselves and break their necks.
