#b) if mat was canon mlm then biphobic queers would have a whole fit over him ultimately ending up with a woman

odds of the show giving mat additional (non-endgame) love interest(s)? the books make such a big deal about what a flirt he is, but he doesn't actually do much Onscreen Romancing before he meets tuon, just his brief flings with melindhra and aludra (no, i do not count tylin as a Mat Romance). i feel like since they gave perrin a wife and made randgwene actually have a real relationship, it's not outside the realm of possibility that mat could have new romance(s) added if it served the story.
or they could also just flesh out his book ones more, especially aludra since that one is almost blink-and-you'll-miss-it in the books (although there's no guarantee aludra would make it into the show - depends on how they're planning to handle the dragon-cannon invention plotline). plus, with the condensing of events in the show, there may not be much time for him to have more than a 1-scene hookup with anyone besides melindhra (season 3 or 4) and tuon (whom he could potentially meet in season 5 if his ACOS & WH ebou dar activities are condensed into a single season).
#poor mat has nothing but Bad Romance in the books and i want him to get to have some fun in the show lmao#and he would be a great candidate for adding mlm content with a major character! just saying!#otoh that's a double edged sword since a) it's kinda tired to make the Flirty Character be the Bi Character#b) if mat was canon mlm then biphobic queers would have a whole fit over him ultimately ending up with a woman#but *i* would love to see a canon bi character end up in a different-gender relationship bc that never happens in media! esp for bi men#since media is even worse at representing them than bi women since society is convinced bi men are actually just gay#okay i'm going off on a tangent. point is i want mat to kiss as many people as possible in the show#wot#wot on prime#mat cauthon#wot book spoilers
