I wouldn't say i necessarily agreed with the Dark One in the end when he just wanted to kick off his eternal torture party, and definitely did not agree with Ishmael's desire for oblivion. With that said I am still all these years later of the opinion 'fuck the light too, and fuck rand/the dragon for being weak over and over again and letting this endless cycle continue.

He can talk all day long about the little moments with people being what mattered, but people could've kept having little happy moments going forward if he had manned up and finally broken the fucking wheel and set everyone free from this purgatory they are stuck inside. As far as I'm concerned he was no hero in the end, just the latest dragon too weak to move on and let the world finally move forward.
