Wheel of Time season 2 trailer (youtu.be)

Just putting this here for those who might miss it.

I saw season 1 and it was...okay? I gather that Wheel of Time diehards were upset about plot deviations. I never read the books so that didn't matter much to me. IMO the world setting seemed janky - it was as though Robert Jordan couldn't build an original world to save his life and borrowed bits and pieces of different Earth cultures and threw them in a blender. I could pass on the next season but I have too many people around me who will want to watch it so I feel somewhat compelled to.

What did you think of season 1? Will you be watching season 2?

Ummm ... so this is a troll? That's clearly not an official trailer for Season 2.

My quick search pulled this up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-1OT1jxuQo

Looks good to me ... I'll watch it. Never read the books. Started book 1, and found the heavy LoTR borrowings tiresome. My understanding is that that was intentional and the series becomes its own thing after that, but I never got through it.

S1 was obviously janky, but I appreciated the world and the set up of the forces at play ... honestly want to see what the story is and look forward to watching it in hopefully decently produced TV form.

I wonder what the relationship is between wheel of time and rings of power productions over there on prime??
