Hmmm you don't remember the books very well because berelain never tried seducing peeing while failed was held captive by the aiel. Also if you cut out berelain you cut out a whole nation and the main reason alliandre swears fealty to perin and rand. Not to mention if you cut out the whole captivity of faile you cut out the fall of savanna and that group of aiel not to mention you cut out morgase being with perin which leads to the trial of perin once galad finds them. You can't cut out multiple nations, the fall of the evil wise one and galad meeting berelain his eventual love interest and wife unless we're going to completely change the source material. They already did it wrong having min be a dark friend, the heroes of the horn, Matt getting the old memories completely cutting out the ter'angreal and aviendha being completely wrong from the way she's described in the books... I get Hollywood is on the agenda of casting people color in staring roles but to completely change the appearance of a character is just wrong.
