After watching, I find myself wondering if people who haven't read the books will even know what the hell is going on?
People typically fear/hate Aes Sedai, so why would she make an entrance like that? (bc she's a strong independent woman, and she deserves it!!!)
Lan is the embodiment of death, but he can barely hold his own against a Trolloc, and hides on the ground as Moiraine kills dozens, lol.
All the added scenes with Egwene and Nynaeve in Ep.1, they tried so hard to be like look! Women! Women important! Women powerful! See? Women! But they never explained what the women's circle even is, or why any of it was important, or it's dynamic, so it was all pointless gratification. And they burned up how much time on that trash instead of doing actual character development?
Egwene could have been introduced exactly like the story Tam told about Rand bringing her baskets of berries. An old crush, but NOOOO.
Why is Nynaeve so protective? Why is she important? Why do the other characters respect her so much? Obviously because she's a WOMAN! Can't be any other reason, like idk, her being their Wisdom, since they never explained what that is.
There's ample room in the story for female empowerment. But this is just too much. It's so cringe, like the scene in Avengers when all the women have to get together to secure the gauntlet. Forced and unnecessary.
Don't even get me started on the "weird diversity that has no place there or in the books where all of this was written". Source:https://communities.win/c/KotakuInAction2/p/13zzR9ycMu/the-woke-of-time-or-how-to-adapt/c
