We don't know who this is said to, but the extra explore tab on the prime page quotes Moiraine as saying:

 

They're here for the same reason as I am. For you. The Dark One is waking. His whispers are already in the backs of our minds. But there will be one who can stand against him. The Dragon has been born again. And it's one of you.

  • I thought we already knew they were doing this. They're trying to misdirect. Egwene isn't going to be the Dragon. They just want to sow doubt in the audience's minds. If they put some focus on Egwene

    Very good point.   Given that Dune is also in the news at the same time and that Dune is often criticized as a "White Savior" narrative, there's something of a cultural moment going on with

  • I just want to point out that in the early Emonds Field chapters Mat and Rand have an argument that basically demonstrates they know next to nothing about Aes Sedai and the Dragon and are confused as

So it is clear she says it clearly at some point - although it is always possible that is only to the boys (still different from the books)

this lends weight to that interpretation.

on the other hand, it's a trailer. trailers often contain whole exchanges that don't actually happen in the movie.

so, there's still some hope they didn't mangle the lore.

 

if they did mangle the lore in that, but for the rest the show is good, i'll just ignore it as a plot hole

I fail to understand why this is someone's fear. TV viewers won't know until after season 1 how much having it be a woman would have changed the story, and by then it won't matter because it will be revealed to be Rand. I find it hard to understand people who can't separate the two mediums and just enjoy it as a new version of the story. This is an obvious attempt to hook viewers and keep them watching every episode to find out who it is, and adding another possible character adds to the mystery.

 

It will have little to no impact on the story itself. They don't need to know that in the books it had to be a man, and it'll be obvious by season 2 that it being a man is important. But it doesn't matter that it's a mystery for non readers in season 1.
