#yes this is a tag now
I started reading Eye of the World after having watched the four available WoT episodes, and probably the first thing I noticed is how the show really made the people from Two Rivers a lot more knowledgable about the outside world, or at least about Aes Sedai.
Like, EVERYONE in the inn recognizes Moiraine as an Aes Seai basically the moment she enters. Meanwhile in the books, she is literally walking around in her all-blue super fancy clothes with her Aes Sedai ring and Lan in his typical warder coat and people only notice she’s an Aes Sedai when she starts shooting lightning. The contrast was just very funny to me.
On the other hand, I was VERY disappointed I didn’t get to see Moiraine and Lan fight those trollocs bc I absolutely loved that scene in the show.
Me, reading that Moiraine did not let that ferry guy drown in the books: Oh, so I guess they amped up Moiraine’s “do whatever necessary to keep the Trollocs/Dark One from catching them” attitude for the show.
Me, reading Moiraine threaten to kill Rand & co before she lets the Dark One get them: Okay, never mind.
