*Spoilers* Anyone feel joining Emet would have been better

That's clearly a major issue given the further mankind advances the less suffering they'll face. The more rare suffering becomes the less inevitable it will be (or at least seem). Eventually humanity will simply reach the state the Ancients were at before, if they don't destroy themselves or are destroyed by something else before that point.

Perhaps, but humanity now has had the experiences they need to know how to approach suffering. The answer is there.

Because whatever arguments she made, they were formulated while hiding the truth of the crisis. They cannot know the issue is unresolved unless Venat tells them why it isn't.

A truth that might’ve destroyed them. They barely handled the Final Days, if they knew what awaited them at the edge of universe they’d fall divided.

She should have done exactly as Midgardsormr did, argue for sedition, and take whatever followers she had and left. As for how, she devised a plan for that very purpose already.

A plan that required thousands of years of research and aether accumulation. And once they get to that other world, then what? There’s no Etheirys to run to.

And why do we immediately jump to thinking that the writers are making excuses. They wrote the scenario, there’s no “right way” for them to have handled something. If they lay out that Zodiark didn’t actively seek temper people but did so just out of virtue of how powerful he was, then that’s that.
