Mildly annoyed that I started watching The Wheel of Time for Rosamund Pike, knowing full well I’d probably hate it; Only to have it be one of my favorite shows of all time with a shitty ending. And it’s only shitty because Amazon just randomly canceled it after the last season got amazing praise.

Why people wished they stayed platonic:
Thom Merrilin & Moiraine Damodred
ugh GANDALF, moiraine's inspiration, NEVER had a lover, so WHY did wot have to pair moiraine with thom just bc moiraine blackmailed thom into accompanying the group and thom sometimes said "moiraine is great, too bad she's an aes sedai!" (she can't STOP being an aes sedai, thom, is this relationship based on lust…? and some weird prophecy shit re: letters??) or was it just bc siuan, moiraine's ex, was paired up w/ gareth bryne by this point so they had to show moiraine "getting over" her gayness with a guy???
Lance McClain and Princess Allura
After getting with Lance in the show, Allura's character was completely butchered, and Lance should've been with Keith
spoilers for the end of VLD Season 8
The "romance arc" between them was dropped in season 1 and from that we were given such better dynamics and opportunities for both of them!
Allura became more focused on her mission as a princess and the complexities of Diplomacy- as well as deal with the horrors diplomacy could not fix
Lance was able to grow from a dumb lover boy into a fleshed out character who missed his home and learned to be a genuine part of the team- so much as to become second in command OF said team
Forcing them back together in the end of season 8 completely demolished what development they had and ruined the storyline for both of them
Sick of seeing powerful women reduced to a sacrifice
Sick of seeing a man of color reduced to a goddamn farmer in the name of grief.
They deserved better than eachother and what came of it.
Why. Whyyyy. The whole series Allura clearly sees Lance as, like, an annoying sibling or smth then suddenly she likes him back and they kiss and then she dies. Fuck this series was a shitshow
This pairing came out of the left field. Where are the themes? The parallels?? Shared passions. Anything. Why these two?
lance's entire character arc was built around him moving on from his shallow obsession with allura, only to very suddenly enter a relationship with her at the very end of the show. it is heavily speculated/well known that this last-minute change in plot and endgame ships only occurred because the show's intended gay rep/relationship(s) were red-lighted by dreamworks.
That ending has so many other problems regarding how both of them were treated but suddenly having Allura fall for the guy she's had 0 interest in (thats's pretty much accepted and gotten over her atp), LITERALLY DIE, and then have him spend the rest of his life as a farmer grieving her completely obliterated any semblance of development EITHER of them had up til that point. And for what?! Both deserved so much better than to be shoved into a last minute relationship and pull a full 180, especially when it gets 0 actual development before one of them literally dies! What was the point of this?!

FUCK dreamworks all my homies hate dreamworks, klance canon king, etc.
I literally do not ship any of these characters and never have I'm just incredibly pissed about how the show handled ALL relationships. Of every type.
"The Wheel does not care if you are young or afraid, petty or weak. It certainly doesn’t care what you want. The Wheel calls you to this whether you can bear it or not. The Last Battle is coming. What any of us wants now is meaningless. The only thing that matters is what you do." - THE WHEEL OF TIME 1.06
