People who love the show hate the finale Cannoli Send a noteboard - 03/08/2022 12:05:35 AM

Some, like Cannoli's likely 8 episode fest of Egwene murdering babies and eating them,

"...Egwene had told him she had murdered children..." - The Great Hunt, Chapter 46, last page or so.

My hypothetical script is more faithful to the books than Judkins' work.


But in all seriousness, Egwene's most significant screentime in the finale was standing frozen while Rand and some guy who is maybe Baalzamon argue about whether or not he's going to pick a happy married life with her. They think they are being affirming by having Rand see through the deception by insisting that Egwene would never choose this life, but as noted, they turn a major female character, whose story is about choosing an active role for herself, into an object for a couple of male characters to argue about. And in her Accepted test, Egwene's first trial was being tempted with a life with Rand and a baby daughter named Joiya, so this clearly IS something that appeals to Egwene (because people are complicated), despite Show Rand scoffing otherwise. I don't have to be a fan of Egwene's choices, values, priorities or relationship actions to appreciate the throughline and consistency of her character, the themes of her story and want to see her depicted properly on the screen.
