Aran Cherubim
Resident Citizen
I just think it was a bit weird that Lan introduced Moiraine like she was a wrestler about to put on a show. It gave me strong "anime cliche" vibes.

I don't know how I feel about this scene! I think it will feel more right in context, when we see it halfway through the first episode. The first time I watched it, I was worried it might be a bit... overdone? Specifically Moiraine and Lan's entrance and dialogue. But, my partner, who hasn't read the books, loved it. So, I wonder if my initial unease was more to do with it not matching the tone of Moiraine's introduction in the books. I rewatched it a few more times and I like it more each time I see it.
I like how it seems women's visual Power manifestation is white and men's is black, showing the difference between saidin and saidar.
Well Jordan and a lot of fantasy writers borrowed heavily from Tolkien world.One of the scenes with the Myrddraal also gave me LOTR vibes when the Ring Wraith is asking about the Shire and the Bagginses. It was a virtually identical scene.
