But I too find it interesting that they also ignored Venats call. I wonder if they also disagreed with that solution and tried to find a third path.
I mentioned this in another thread, but the Anyder scene makes a point to say Azem didn't respond to Venat's group, versus denying them outright. Absent more information, my head-canon is Azem is off fighting Terminus and trying to save people, so either can't get the message or respond to it. They seem to want Azem to be as uninvolved as possible in the major plot points of the past, given that they're "us", so I'm not holding out for a detailed history of their actions during the Final Days.
