    The woman is 39. Min is supposed to be a bit older than Rand but geez that's overblown. She looks much more like an Aes Sedai than what I'd ever envision Min as. Really thought they messed up the casting with this one

      That number has been thrown around a lot today but I’ve not found any reliable source for it. Only thing I could find was graduation from college in 2011 (so 9 years later she might be around 31?). But she was also playing a teenager 6 years ago. Actors are cast to play different ages all the time. Actor playing Logain is also much older than Logain was written to be. With things like this I think we have to wait and see.

    Thanks for the quick casting info! Going by her range of roles, she should have no problem channeling Min. Kae pulls off the short dark haired, exotic all knowing look I always saw in Min. I can't wait to watch your spoiler Min video!

    Does anyone know what accents they are going to do for each country or region?
    I tried to listen to a book on audible but the narrator did a German accent for one of the main characters and I just couldn’t listen to it.
    I read something that said the accent for Toun and the rest of the Seanchan will have a southern accent? Is this true?

    • @ReadingthePattern
      @ReadingthePattern  4 года назад

      We don’t know yet. There is a dialect coach on the show. Jennifer Cheon Garcia talked about working on an accent for Leane (she’s Canadian and her character will have a different accent). The part about the Seanchan was what Robert Jordan said, he envisioned a Texan accent for them but that doesn’t mean the show will do that.

    My absolute least favorite character. When reading I have to stop myself from skipping her scenes with Rand and also her scenes with her fellow foursome (which I'm sure a young Rand would enjoy). Hopefully the series will handle this teenage fantasy in a more realistic way. On another note, this is a fantastic channel and have shared it multiple times. Keep up the great work!

    • @ReadingthePattern
      @ReadingthePattern  4 года назад +2

      While I’m sad you don’t enjoy Min, I totally agree the show could really work on handling the quad relationship in a much more realistic and nuanced way and I hope they do! Things Rafe Judkins has said at least make me think he is aware of the need to work on the portrayal of Rand and the three women.
      Thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing the channel, I really appreciate that!

    Looks ok to me, and 30's age fine right now, but if show goes for 10 seasons, she will be in forties. Might look a little old for the part then. But the Wheel has weaved.

    • @OracleTruth24
      @OracleTruth24 4 года назад

      that's the problem with any long running series (if this one gets to that point). Actors age and the real life tv production timelines usually go beyond the story's timeline. I think the 20 something actors can get away with looking older, but not so with those actors portraying older characters.

    I like an Asian actress for Min, but someone more like the girl who played Mulan and looks young. For me this is the worst casting I've seen so far, but per usual when watching the show I hope to be proved wrong. Casting directors usually know what they're doing. Still.
