Talk:Ayla (Earth's Children)

Untitled

No mention of Ayla's Mary Sue-ish traits? It seems like a lot of the criticism directed towards the sequels of Clan of the Cave Bear relate to Ayla's "canon sue" characteristics. I think that might warrant mention in the article.

I agree. I wonder if she's going to invent gunpowder by book 7. Afalbrig (talk) 09:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed this! I believe I was thirteen or fourteen when I read the first couple books, and even then I couldn't help but notice that she was far too perfect. It didn't seem to get really ridiculous until The Valley of Horses, but that could have been because I was too young to notice; in any case, it certainly warrants a mention. If someone can find one of those critical reviews, it should probably be mentioned in the intro. --Daniel Draco (talk) 20:54, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Ayla Elsewhere

In the role-playing game "Chrono Trigger," released by Squaresoft in 1995, a woman living in 65,000,000 B.C. named Ayla fights against Reptites - humanoid reptiles/dinosaurs - for the survival of her tribe and humankind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wanderer one (talk • contribs) 15:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Not The Same Ayla, Different One!24.7.204.215 (talk) 03:54, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

"Ayla's character seems most likely derived from the blond hair, blue-eyed, Cro-Magnon era heroine of the same name in the Earth's Children series of novels by the author Jean Auel." Perhaps this is also true for Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn. Underskrift (talk) 14:15, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Does This Book Even Exist

I looked Everywhere on the internet and i couldn't find it! Unless someone can show me, i don't think this exists! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.204.215 (talk) 03:55, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Look up the Earth's Children series -- this will have the titles, Clan of the Cave Bear, etc. Afalbrig (talk) 09:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Notability

The article was flagged (probably by someone who never read the books) as possibly not notable. I disagree Ayla is the protagonist character in a six-novel best-selling series published over a thirty year period which spawned one motion picture. I think notability for the character is well established. Eric Cable  |  Talk  12:47, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
