There is not one item in the poster that is a direct link to Rhuidean. Everything you suggest is pure conjecture. You cannot even be sure that it is not evening rather than dawn in the poster or the trailer for that matter. IMO the shot from the trailer looks more likely to be the arrival at Rhuidean meaning the time could be either morning or evening. The ground in both shots is also completely different one is a desert the other is hard and rocky. Any attempt to state that those 2 locations are the same place is simply a fantasy that you are building in your own mind. Yes i am aware that the poster can be entirely different media and i would posit that we will never actually see the poster shot as an exact scene in the series. The wide open scene with a circle of spears apparently in the middle of nowhere seems a highly unlikely in show shot.

Look at the distance to the sand dunes in the background. No way that the city fits in shot 1. Look at the ground, one is hard and rocky the other is a desert. Both shots do not have mountains in the background one has sand dunes.

Rubbish, pause the trailer at the 1 second mark and you can clearly see the massive differences between the shots. There is no way those 2 shots are at the same location. You can argue that the other shot is better if you want but I will heavily disagree with you and I don't see the problem with giving the book fans an iconic shot to get excited about.

No Rhuiedan He is walking downhill. So wrong direction No fog covered city. No one waiting for him. Not sure how you think this is showing he who comes with the dawn leaving Rhuiedan The Visual of the city in the fog with Rand emerging from the sunrise striding to the waiting Aiel leaders is just simply a far more powerful one.

Still cant believe they did not use Rand walking out of Rhuiedan carrying Moraine as the S3 poster. Such a better visual plus awesome for the fans to see He who comes with the dawn.

Firstly why did they not use the first shot of the trailer as the season 3 poster. Remove a few of the people and have Rand carrying Moiraine towards the camera and that is a much more powerful poster. Not a terrible trailer but also not much meat on it either. Loads of quick jump cuts with little dialogue.

And anyone offering criticism of the show is a Bookcloak.

Early things that made no sense to me Mech suits power levels are all over the shop. Maximus can throw a chunk of wall KMs into the distance yet when trained knight punches bear zero effect. Capable of flight yet cannot break flimsy wooden deck. No one realising that entire 2nd shelter has been replaced by entirely different people. Despite having contact with them. Person who attacked shelter does not collect scientist despite him being in walking range of shelter. With him actually dining with purnell on her first night out of the shelter. Ghoul not killing Maximus in the mech suit despite apparently knowing how to later in the series. Leader of shelter invaders giving choice of death of his daughter or his citizens then locking her up and letting citizens go? Radiation seems to be a forgotten element once purnell goes topside. There is loads more since it been a while since i saw it.

Nothing made sense. Maximus grated from very early. Pretty much everything I hated and more was covered in the video I posted and from the recap of the episodes after I gave up the show only sounded like it got worse.

Never played it. The previews for the show looked good though and I'm a fan of Goggins especially from Justified so went in feeling fairly positive. But I found it just unwatchable.

Could not get past 3 episodes of Fallout just found it unbearable. First season of The Boys was the best I have seen on amazon and it's been a steady slide for that show ever since.

Screen rant is such a garbage site. How on earth would a whitecloak investigation months after lalia’s death with no one in the two rivers having knowledge of the event reveal Perrins role. Perrins development with the white cloaks is less than paper thin in comparison to the books at this point in the tv show.

Additional ones that may be good. Moirines staff that she used in the Two Rivers Moiraines Angreal that she got from the snakes and foxes if you are looking for something a bit darker. Dice and or dice cup or Playing cards from the books for Mat. If you are going down towards the hand you could also maybe incorporate Nynaeves rings and bracelet angreal. Perrins axehead would be good for the shoulder with Rands sword and Mats ashanderi for the top and bottom of the forearm could be a good foundation for the rest. Feel free to ignore any of that as I am no expert of tats though.

Totally not my take on it at all. The attack on the farm is like 60 pages into the main part of the book and from there you move into the incredibly tense trip carrying Taim to EF after the farm attack. Followed again by what I thought was a fairly intense sequence as they raced out of the two rivers. I also think of the book as being without the Ravens chapter as I only ever had the original version for 30 odd years and never new it existed till well after I had read the final book. Warmed to Matt and Rand quickly. Moved into action far quicker that lord of the rings I felt, and from what I remember since it's a long time since I read LOTR, thought that LOTR was very heavy on name dropping and such early doors and very lacking in action.

Multi year waits between seasons is a major negative IMO people drift away and forget about the story or characters they like. Almost no one is going to be maintain as high as level attachment to the show with significant gaps. Sure the hardcore fans are going to get super hyped close to launch but how many do you lose. And it's not like there are 20 episodes in the season like shows used to have. Stargate for example used to have 20 odd episodes a season released weekly and had a midseason break of 4 to 6 weeks at least which meant the show actually ran for over 6months from start of season to end of season, here we have just 8 episodes all released in a row so it's less than a third of the total season run time then 22 months before the next dribble.
