What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

I thought this was incredibly good visual storytelling. In the first phase, she's cool, calm, detached, and collected.

This totally changes in the second stage. She's panicking at that point. She's the sum total of the despair of all those civilizations. They confronted their ends and couldn't handle it. She says things like "We can't suffer that again". She's flailing out like that because she's scared. I saw someone mention the meaning of her attacks before, too. Telos apparently means purpose. Telomania means obsession with purpose. You're going to cause the universe to live on and there will be more pain and suffering and she's desperate to stop you.

Its pretty much the same thing with Thordan. After the Huge Knights of the Round Attack Phase (Totally Boss Callback Reference)
Thordan thought that would be your undoing, your Death. But because you survived, its like...what do I do now? Thats All I had! A Thousand Years of Prayer to obtain such power and it wasn't enough!??
-Flails because he doesn't know what to do-

Hades, too, and I enjoy the subtle differences. Thordan it's like "I don't know what to do, I'm going to swat you like a fly"

Hades was desperately trying to hold onto the dream he'd had for thousands of years. You winning meant that dream would never happen.

Endsinger is desperately trying to save everyone from the despair she (and thus all those civilizations) gave into.

I like all 3. I think they are Great.
But I think Hades is the Outlier, because he has One Final Desperation Attack thats a Final DPS Check; Where he casts Black Cauldron. And Ive seen it maybe Once because the group failed the QTE moment and couldnt recover XD
(and I could be wrong because I didnt let Endsinger get to the point that she might have a Final DPS check.)
