I'm just loving the wheel of time getting it's recognition it deserves. Robert Jordan would have been so happy.
This series deserved better than what Sony and Amazon produced :(
The show is horrid, deserves way better
Thought the same thing , entirely over sexualized and leaving out all the good parts and making the characters whack
@@andrewberkoben4498 the show is oversexualized? Did you read the books? Titties hanging out everywhere.
Well, this comment is depressing considering the travesty the TV show is. Rafe serves the shadow, shame on him for what he's done to Robert Jordan's life's work.

The Wheel of Time is the longest series I've ever read, and it was excellent. It's so much fun to revisit all of this lore from the books! Thank you for this. It makes me want to read the books again.
Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you friends! :)
Are all those books one long story or are there different story arcs? Is each book an isolated story?
@@willardsteele4857 It's all one big continuous story, but the books do a decent job most of the time of giving you decent stopping points along the way if you ever want to take a break from them for a little bit in the middle or some such.
I'm re reading this series for the second time halfway thru A Memory Of Light this fantasy series is so EPIC I feel bad for people who don't want to read especially this series
I'm just about to start myself :) excited!!
I'm only about half way through the series and am loving it. I can't believe I still have another 8 books ahead of me. I already know that when I finish I will be starting from the beginning to get a whole new grasp on everything that is happening
Yeh Wot is a must read. I dont usually read books but im halfway through the 3rd audiobook and I'm hooked.
4 more days until The Wheel Of Time is released!
I wonder how this will work over time since there are 14 books to adapt. ASoFAI only had 5 books to adapt since the rest have to be published. Both series have the loads of characters tropes so some might have to be adapted out or combined with other characters.
I'm looking forward to it.
@Chris G At least it won't be the violent porn trash called GoT!
@@44kryth have you read ASoIF??? GRRM spends far too many paragraphs describing sexual encounters, particularly Daenerys, and others. I refer you to the infamous "pink mast" line. He also accurately portrays the violence of his world. He doesn't hold back.
HBO in fact toned down the nudity for the main characters. And in some cases they also toned down the violence, especially in Esos and the Iron Islands.
So no, GRRM's world wasn't all fairies and unicorns and all of a sudden HBO turned it into violent porn. Oh it ended up being trash, but not because of the violence and sexual content, but because D&D are moronic hacks
@@GumaroRVillamil Unfortunately I read the first 3 books. While in jail I might add. I only read them because I was waiting for the WoT books. I can't stand GoT. I think it is a pathetic series that should not have been published. I honestly don't know what is worse. GoT and it's sexual scenes. Or Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice and it's sexual scenes.

correction on the English queen of all has to be Elizabeth the second. As the first was a Tudor queen before the British Empire was even on the earth.
this channel is an absolute delight
In my opinion, the 2nd age began with the discovery of the one power. It makes the most sense to me
That is like saying in my opinion 2+2=5. I am happy that you have your own opinion, but it is literally documented by RJ... so... Good luck with your insanity?
I immediately searched your channel when i thought of diving into the world of wheel of time... Keep up the good work goin👍
Great video as always.
Very well made! And good job avoiding spoilers
Would love to read new 14 tomes set in the first age and actually see this fall of the world!
Sounds like a great story
So cool. I remember when I finally realized that the first age was pretty much our world, and that blew my mind.
How the hell am I only now discovering your channel??!
pretty cool! thanks
Awesome!
I like the show a lot so much I started watching these and will soon buy books.
The books are far better. Thank god you didn’t read them before the show like I did. Characters are left out, so much is changed in the show that it feels like a rip off of the books.
I only read Book 1 to Book 6 of The Wheel of Time and greatly loved the series. I need to read the books again only this time read all 14 books.
19:16 Ah the Whitecloaks perhaps despite their fanatic proclamations ironically the foremost allies/Servants of Shaitan.
It sounds to me that the dark one was created by the creator, but the dark one betrayed the creator. You could say he is like Lucifer betraying God. Seeing how God wanted both man and women to work together as one. That is the reason for Sadin and Saidar. We are suppose to be one with each other in marriage and so forth.
@8 bit synth Wrong. Lucifer is actually in the Bible. You need to read it.
King James Version
Mathew 16:23 - "But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou are an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men."
King James Version
Romans: 16:20 - "And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."
There are several verses other than this one that talks about devils, Satan and so forth. The old serpent is Satan in the Garden of Eden. Satan is the falling angel, known as the Father of Lies. You should brush up on things before spouting lies. Satan = Lucifer.
Let's gooooooooo
I truly love this series, and I hope the cast and crew will not butcher Robert Jordan's last work up.
The cast and crew seem to be making a serious effort to adapt this to tv as well as they can, but Amazon is having it chopped down to fit into their preferred length of time and removing too much of the story.
They butchered it…😒
I love the series. Everyone thinks they can do better. Not everything can be catered to the insufferable book fanatics
These types of shows need to attract non book series fans.
Imagine if Lews Theron convinced the Women and got Saidin and Saidr tainted.
Imagine if lews therin convinced the women and his plan worked
@@fjellfinn4618 Not to give too much away from the end of the books, but it wouldn't have worked.
@@scottcomfort6584 i have read the books but my memory is terrible, i dont mind if you remind me
@@fjellfinn4618 Sure! So the key to Rand's success against the dark one was the nature of Callandor and the secret flaw it possessed, allowing for access to the True Power. He was able to use Saidar through Moiraine and Nynaeve, Saidin, AND the True Power through Moridin. The true power provided the protection he needed to repair the bore fully, without providing an opportunity for a counterstroke. If he hadn't been protected, the dark one could have tainted both halves.
@@scottcomfort6584 yup the dark one's power was essential if it was just the main two the breaking might have ended up as extinction
What’s the music called that’s playing it sounds awesome.
It's called Olympus by Ross Bugden

Better prelude than the TV show
Civilazations Ex, are you planning on making a video explaining Star Wars Ronin a Visions novel? Even though the book is Non Canon, it takes place in an alternate universe in the Star Wars galaxy.
No I don't have any plans for that, the next Star Wars video I want to make will be a Prelude video for the Book of Boba Fett show.
Why did none of the female AES Sendai help at all. Literally the other plans failed and there were not many options
Stubborn pride mostly.
@@TheCorrodedMan Basically this.
After all, they had Callandor, which they knew its connections, and so, the Pattern would have unlocked that as the means had Lews Therin convinced the women to join in the aspect.
Lmao those convenient moutain ranges are ridiculuos
True, but you learn to love it....
Its kitsch all the way down, why would you then not bend everything to suit the (primitive excuse for a) story you are trying to tell.
@@aenorist2431 why do you think the story is a primitive excuse?
??? They were made by the Breaking of the World. They aren’t natural
It's a really good video I don't hear anything wrong although I read the last book and when it came out in 2015 or whatever it was but why is it that everyone says the names differently than me like it just sounds Goofy for a lot of them in this video was I just reading them wrong like same with the show like always stay parval on like there's an e instead of an o at the end and like the Caribbean cycle I guess I was imagining an extra e at the last few letters or something
CivEx!!!
I will liberate the world 🌎🔥🐲
No
False dragon.
There's any more information of who is The Creator? Is he God?
There is not much info about him, but basically he is the god of this universe.
If you want to get meta. The creator is Robert Jordan.
hard on lost? You hate to see it
Mother Theresa haha
Theresa was most definitely NOT a healer. Only wanted money for the church, which she served, and let people die after converting
Did the Wachowski's read this and borrow some of these concepts for The Matrix? Neo was the 6th iteration of The One.
I wonder if Aes Sedai were driven around in cars during the 2nd Age. Probably electric vehicles. Unless they all used gateways. I wonder if any of them played video games. Did Mario make it to the 2nd Age? Hmm....
Man... the 2nd Age can't come fast enough. I'm tired of this lame-ass Age.
So it’s the females fault that the male part of the one power got tainted. All because they wouldn’t help the dragon. Kinda fucked up
What happened was actually the best case scenario in a way, if the females had helped, both Saidin and Saidar would have been tainted. They would solve the immediate problem but probably completely destroy the world when they both went mad. Since only men went mad, the females were around to stop them before they destroyed the entire world.
*Spoilers Follow*
Then when the Dragon reborn came, he discovered they needed a third magic source, the True Power to help shield Saidin and Saidar. They didn't know that in the age of legends and they needed an immediate end to the war, so the men sacrificing themselves while the women stayed on to protect it, was the best possible outcome at the time.
@@CivilizationEx but we don’t actually know for a fact man/women couldn’t have defeated the dark one and neither be tainted. And at the time no one knew the one power could be tainted until it happened. The way it’s put in this video leads me to believe had the females helped, no one would’ve went mad or they have stood a massive chances not to be tainted and win.
At the time they did not know, so the females refusing too help seemed bad. But at the end of the books we learn that their magic would have been tainted either way. The Dragon reborn learns this when he realizes another power source was needed to seal the Dark Ones prison. So it turns out the females not helping was actually a good thing, even though they did it for the wrong reasons.
if the 1st age is our earth the story just got 100% dumber
Why?
Sooooo did Destiny plagiarized the wheel of time ?
This is good but almost puts me off reading the books. Sounds way too complicated and the names are so bizarre.
This is deep history stuff, the first couple books at least are a lot more straightforward.
While there is a *huge* amount of detail, the story can be enjoyed and understood without digging into those details. It is on subsequent re-reads that many small details and foreshadowing become evident.
As for names and pronunciation, each book has a glossary at the back, but even many of super fans still get names wrong. I suggest going ahead and reading it: the payoff in the last books make it more than worth the time. *Do not* search anything on line, there will be major spoilers. If you finish the books, there are huge amounts of info to clarify and explain things further than is found in the books.
I hate to say it, but Latra was right. Chances are, if the women had helped, both sides of the One Power would have been tainted.
This resume is way better than the butchering job of a series on Amazon.
The Wheel of Time sucks. Nothing good happens.
Man, this is a great video, but the Amazon show turned out to me such a disappointment…
Dude, you talk way to quick in these videos and don’t even pause before jumping to the next topic
Yeah sorry about that, I do talk quick but it's because I want to make the video as short as possible.
I love your speed m8
Unfortunately, I got the feeling that this version of The Wheel of Time is going to be a woke whamon power fantasy.
Kek nice bait.
So you mean like the books?
Like the previous one wasnt.... XD
@@merai4024 i would argue that it isnt woke trash as it makes sense in context of the world, its not just women being in power for the sake of women being in power.
@@fjellfinn4618 That is my opinion as well, I was was just telling cameron here that he's an idiot for not realizing it was a cpre aspect of the book series as well.
Sooo ... its a ripoff of the Simarillion, replacing a fabric for the music and "shaitan" (bit on the nose) for morgoth then?
Quite original.
Why does everything have to be a rip off? Why can’t you just enjoy both stories. There are so many unique elements to WoT, just because TLoTR came first doesn’t mean that everything copied it…
It is absolutely nothing like the silmarillion. Both Morgoth and the dark one are obvious Satan analogues. The name shaitan is literally Arabic for demon/devil
Weel if we're going that way the Simarillion is just a ripoff of european myths and pagan religions so...
Not even Tolkien was original when making his work. Elves, Dwarves are not his creation, but borrowings, and many of his work is taken by European folklore and some christian influence. Stop thinking everything revolves around Muh Tulhkeen
For reference: I've read The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and more a few dozen times, and Wheel of Time over a dozen times so far.
While Wheel of Time was strongly inspired by Lord of the Rings, most, if not all of the concepts in the Wheel of Time predate Lord of the Rings by centuries. The Eye of the World plot is *very* similar to Lord of the Rings, but after that it heads its own direction, and subverts a lot of the tropes of Lord of the Rings and other fantasy works. It is also for more realistic and relatable in many ways.
