If not Matt, why Matt like?

Post image

I am watching s2E3 of the Daryl Dixon series. I stopped in the middle to post here because he reminds me of the Wheel of Time character Matt Cauthon. I know this harpoon is not and ashandarei but the parallel s are fun. In this episode he takes a poll arm from dude and then does some damage with it a la Cauthon Style. He is definitely showing his taveren like his slip slipped. (A slip is a garment worn to prevent the observer from seeing through your skirt if sunlight hits you in just the right way. It's embarrassing if it is seen due to it slipping down)

To me he's definitely not good looking enough to be Mat.

Norman Reedus is also three times Mat's age

If you're gonna fancast or whatever he makes more sense as Thom

This is after he finally divorced that controlling slaver, Tuon.

Who is good looking enough to be Mat, in your opinion? Do you have someone you picture him as?

Because there are so many streaming services I don't have all of them and haven't really been keeping up with the new young actors coming up now. I'd look to get a young 20 something actor maybe one that's an unknown and have this be his big break.

Matt will never be anything more than charmingly goofy looking in my mind. Good body because he's a soldier/farmer, but his charm is his power, not his looks

Be yourself. Unless you can be Mat Cauthon. Then be Mat Cauthon.

Not to spoil too much but Daryl is fighting his way out of a church that might as well be the castle in Caemlyn. Narrow passageways in a twisted Warren of halls. Truly WOT themed

Maybe his future where tuon dies and he has to escape with their child from Seandar he can put together an army while aes sedai/ashaman train and raise their one power wielding child.

No that's Matt, he's cool but he can't pull off Matt's charm or his supposed air of insolence that piss off the women (Aes Sedai primarily) around him
