The team at Amazon has decided to give priority to woke political considerations over everything else - plot, character development, world development, meaningful interactions, pacing, etc.

It's why the series sucks. As repellent as I find Leftism, the developers of the series could have even included those messages without the series being terrible if they had not given it priority over everything else. It's precisely the fact that every decision they make is motivated first and foremost by political considerations that doomed this series. Why not have people from different countries look somehow predictable? No, every shot has to look like the United Colors of Benetton. Perhaps develop Rand more? No, he's a guy. We want more focus on the girls. In fact, let's say the Dragon could be a girl too, so that we don't spend too much time on men. Etc. I've already posted about this but it bears repeating.
