Endwalker was a great mess(SPOILERS)

[Raven2014]

If the writers failed to make it clear, while employing so many convoluted plot mechanisms, that is on them. As it is, there was so much filler in the story, they more or less wrote a book anyway.

What you call a failure, I take it with the greatest sense of appreciation. For me good writing is not about spelling out the A, B, C of why something happens, but to provide enough pieces for the reader to come to the conclusion "oh I see, that's why it happens" WITHOUT being told straight out.

This is the culmination of years of plots and planning. It's not that I or anyone else is asking them to spell out every little detail. It's that what details we already have line up poorly with what we're shown, so people are rightly asking questions and don't take her logic as sound on a "trust me bruh" basis. I don't think we're going to agree on this front.
