* OldShame: The original depiction of Earthsea's sexist societies was just because that was what genre convention was at the time, not with any eye towards questioning it. Le Guin attributed the two-decade gap between the third and fourth books to this; she couldn't finish it until she saw the issue and figured out how she wanted to address it.

-->'''Le Guin:''' When I looked over the script, I realized the producers had no understanding of what the books are about and no interest in finding out. All they intended was to use the name ''Earthsea'', and some of the scenes from the books, in a generic [=McMagic=] movie with a meaningless plot based on sex and violence.
