Oh no, but what about Hayt??

Movie fans don’t even know he exists yet, so yeah, I get why they elevate Paul and Alia’s relationship (or fine, maybe they just like their dynamic).

And this hyperfixation on the idea that Paul and Alia are spiritual twins, that sometimes he can be her and she can be him and it honestly makes me think people are just fantasizing and haven’t read the books. Because, uh, by that logic you could say the same about Alia and Jessica? Alia sometimes perceived Paul not as her brother but as her son, and her father as her husband.

Spiritual twins? It feels like movie fans are literally merging Paul and Alia into one being. For me, as a reader, they are two separate characters with their own roles in the story, even if they’re closely bound. Alia didn’t always agree with her brother’s decisions. She got angry. She argued with him. So where does this idea of her mad devotion even come from??
