You need to post more about Egwene Zeratul Send a noteboard - 17/12/2010 08:16:19 PM
I love your anti-Egwene posts.

If just one character stood up and told her off for being a hypocrite, or refused to do what she wanted, or for once she was shown as being flat out wrong and called to the mat for it like others are (instead of her supposedly justified self-righteousness about other people's foibles when she herself commits the same sins), then maybe, just maybe, the character could be a little bit more believable and less of a Mary Sue, but none of that ever happens.

Exactly. She managed to get herself captured 5 times, most of them due to her own mistake, and not once anyone called her stupid or reckless for that. She's a complete hypocrite all the time and never get called out for it. The only time I can think of this happening was when Elayne slapped her back in TDR after Egwene accused Nynaeve of manipulating people like an Aes Sedai, even though Egwene herself was doing pretty much the same.

Egwene, a poor leader? redhand - 16/12/2010 05:59:15 PM 2569 Views
Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician. lilltempest - 16/12/2010 08:21:13 PM 1756 Views

If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ... ajfurst - 16/12/2010 11:56:08 PM 1370 Views
Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM* Lord Haart - 17/12/2010 02:10:20 AM 756 Views
Except Rand wouldn't go to the WT with Elaida in charge, without having to fight ajfurst - 17/12/2010 02:50:18 AM 1504 Views

She has the same power base as any Amyrlin - the Aes Sedai, the artisans, Guards & citizens of TV RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2010 05:51:20 PM 1410 Views
Ta'veren vs. Mary Sue lilltempest - 17/12/2010 07:33:28 PM 1894 Views
I see them as being the same thing. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/12/2010 08:11:30 PM 1449 Views
I don't think the case can be made for Rand having it easy A Deathwatch Guard - 17/12/2010 11:04:58 PM 1310 Views
I would say that in the grand scheme of things, Rand's had good to balance out the bad. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 20/12/2010 06:27:35 PM 1299 Views
Funniest statement I've ever seen on here. Lord Haart - 18/12/2010 05:22:28 AM 1393 Views
