Well, like you say, most are fireballs, panoramas and explosions, with vague sentences. That one is indeed much better, referencing the end of season 1, and glimpses that mean a lot for book readers. I think it'll have much more direction than s1 at least.

I agree with you btw, I hope he can do Mistborn movies with full control :)
That's not how trailers work. Time will tell.
I also really disliked the finale. Covid restrictions did affect it a lot apparently, but it was bad. As a book reader I was surprised at how vague they made everything. It feels like a lot of sudden weirdness wasn't explained. I think season 2 will clear some of that up at least.
I have good news and bad news: I agree with all of this and I too think it will only get better, but much of season 2 was filmed with covid restrictions.
It's not his work per-se, he just finished it. He's a WOT expert obviously, but this is not his work (yet).
They're actually specifically not in a medieval fantasy setting. That doesn't mean that their clothes should be pristine, but most people seem to simply have a problem with this not being LOTR style.
Honestly I think (or hope) that most "diehards" are in this category. Normal people aren't vocal on reddit/twitter/rotten tomatoes/imdb etc.
With that said, season 1 had some major issues, many of which can be attributed to covid restrictions and Mat being cut (well, the actor leaving) but not all. I personally hope that they find their groove for season 3 onwards.
I enjoyed season 1, I will most likely enjoy season 2.
There hasn't been much actual discussion because you have to wade through endless posts of neckbeard spam.
Afaik that Lan bit was inspired by something from some asian culture(s). And your analogies are really terrible. I also didn't like that version of Lan, but you come across as someone who tries to dislike it.
I was really hoping they'd make crackling energy viable. Not surprised this shitshow of a patch made it worse.
I just rewatched it. I understand the score, but I agree with your take. I think a director's cut might add something, it was a bit rushed at times. And I dislike the skydivers.
