I believe what made him stand out at that time, and still does, is his exploration of how the world looks with women who wield the greatest power on Earth and are the guardians of that power,&#8221; states Rosamund Pike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;But his interest isn&#8217;t solely in women; it&#8217;s in disrupting the man who will ultimately either doom or save the world: <strong>Rand al&#8217;Thor, the Dragon Reborn<\/strong>,&#8221; Pike adds. &#8220;I think the diversity of his character cast is truly astonishing. The way so many women, often feeling excluded from fantasy, can see themselves in a myriad of captivating roles is something that sets this series apart.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/rueda-del-tiempo-800x450-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-244327\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Undoubtedly, <strong>Pike makes it clear that the diversity and feminism within this work set it apart<\/strong> by a considerable margin from previous as well as even some more contemporary works that have enjoyed success, including the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/game-of-thrones-prequel-aegon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Game of Thrones<\/a> itself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Amazon Prime Video\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/c162012f-3d10-436b-a6b5-fde423154d8c\/1515453778\/amazon-prime-video-Amazon%20Prime%20Video_logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Amazon Prime Video<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/amazon-prime-video.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/amazon-prime-video.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softonic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wheel of Time is one of Amazon Prime Video&#8217;s major forays into fantasy.
