Talk:Rand al'Thor

message: I removed the similarity between rand and anakin because there is almost none. The article stated the following:
*Both Anakin and Rand are Messiah-like.
*Both lose their left hands.
*Both sired  fraternal twins
Anakin being seen as Messiah-like is a matter of oppinion, Anakin has lost all his limbs, contrary to just his left hand, and Rand's twins have not been born yet.

thread_title:  Rand and Anakin 

message: Article describes Rand as the one who captured Asmodean and forced him to teach in the Aiel Waste. In fact, it was Lanfear who shielded (implying the captured part) Asmodean and forced him to teach Rand to channel.
Mazrim Taim is also described as being the M'hael. In actuality, Rand has not specifically accepted this title for Taim although the article seems to imply otherwise
The article need more details and general cleaning. There are to many factual faults.
*Galads his half brother he doesn't know about and M'hael means leader so Taim sort of like Hitler or Mussilinni, (Duce, Fuherer)
*You realize I hope that Jesus is in the fictional hero's section? Jamhaw 19:03, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some vague points in the article 

message: Considering the long duration of time Rand was bonded (forcefully) to Alanna Mosvani, and the extreme negative reaction he, as well as his three girls showed towards the bond, shouldn't this be mentioned in the article?

replies: text: Under what section can I add this information?  his other bond is mentioned under the lovers section, so I can't add it there.   but Alanna also doesn't fit in the advisors section. Vaskafdt (talk) 13:29, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Just about Rand's character in Changes in Appearance
he sometimes shows that he has to be hard, knowing that that is the only way he will be successful
for example, when he orders the death of an Aiel man for protecting Rand's reputation, Rand does not do it out of hatred or anger, but out of the conscious necessity of being a hard man

message: Janduin dies when he sees a man who looked familiar (to someone but i don't remember who)in battle, and so refused to fight that man.  Janduin is consequently killed by the man
--Ahlee123 9:10 12/14/06
That man was Luc who is Janduin's wife's (Shaiel, aka Tigraine Mantear) brother. Raul17 23:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says he is not officially recognised as a blademaster. He killed a Seanchan blademaster (High Lord Turak). I don't see how then he wouldn't be recognised as one, same as Galad after killing Eamon Valda. Zarboki 00:54, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Whoever dropped in the allegation that Robert Jordan said the Norse god Tyr was the inspiration for Rand needs to include an inline citation for a reliable source. I'm not saying it isn't true, but all I can find in an Internet search is message board speculation, rather than a direct quote from Robert Jordan. I'm removing the reference in accordance with Wikipedia:Verifiability until someone can reliably verify it.ChipEverwood (talk) 20:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Can anyone verify where Rand's hair color is stated. According to The Great Hunt, in both the prologue (page xxiii) and on page 2, his hair is described as 'dark, reddish' 71.76.172.148 (talk) 07:08, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rand Hair Color 

message: Since Rand is a fictional superhero, he needs a "Powers and Abilities" section detailing what he can do, and not just "channeling". Like talk about the enhanced concentration from the "Void" technique (which works even without the One Power,) as well as talk more about the probability manipulation from being Ta'veren. Give examples of what he can do as a Channeler, but also talk about his other skills as well. A reference or two for at least "what" he can do, and maybe a few involving to "what degree" he can do it.
Someone also needs to do a "Powers and Abilities" section on Mat Cauthon and Perrin Aybara as well.

message: How can a section on Advisors not contain Moraine? Yes she didn't exist in Rand's life as an advisor later on but this is not an article about Rand from the perspective of only certain books. Moraine was an and one of the most important and influencial advisors to him during his growth. She should be included.

message: Can someone add a spoiler to the thing about the dragon reborn. I came here to learn more about the main characters, not to be fucking spoiled in the first sentence about what they truly are.
*The Great Hunt, in which Rand is revealed as the Dragon Reborn, came out in 1990.  That's 26 years ago.  There is no reasonable expectation that if you start looking up info on 26 year old characters on the Internet that you are not going to see tons of spoilers everywhere you look.
