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

[KariTheFox]

To kill Lahabrea the aether in the eye of a dragon coming from another star and not affected by the sundering was necessary.

To defeat Emet-Selch and Elidibus it took a 9/14ths of a WoL plus 7 presumably sundered heroes 1from other shards (but who knows if "from across the rift" goes even beyond the sundered fragments of the Source, so each could be a "fully fledged person". But let's stick with fragments for now). Technically 16/14ths of an unsundered.

All this math is really getting in the way of the power of friendship and camaraderie and hope for tomorrow that actually defeated the ascians.

Seriously how can you stand thinking about fiction in terms of power levels and force multiplers? I do not understand this way of thinking at all.

I hope people won't be subjected to more horrific personal attacks and defamatory comments from certain posters. That's usually the next step after the latest round of 'NOOOO, U MUST LIEK AND AGREE WITH CRYSTAL MOMMY' begins.

This kind of language is so unnecessarily toxic. Why talk like this about people who disagree with you about the interpretation of a fictional character?

Funny how you comment about him as being toxic but don’t address the person regarding other peoples opinions as being an “echo chamber.” Once again, here come people trying to derail a conversation into something else sigh.

I don't agree with your assessment and I don't think that there's anything particularly 'toxic' when it comes to my previous post.

I'm merely expressing my deep concern given the prior history of Hydaelyn fanatics resorting to personal attacks, tone policing other horrid tactics whenever someone successfully points out that, actually, the Unsundered aren't wrong to want to avoid being subjected to genocide by an unhinged saboteur who fancied masquerading as a 'supreme deity' and 'mother'.

It would be nice if it was possible to have a discussion about Venat without you posioning the well with an interpretation of her character that not everyone agrees with. The implication of your post is that you and people who agree with you are 'sucessfully seeing that the writing is bad, and 'correctly' pointing out that Venat is a genocidal monster'."

Don't you see that with language like that, there is no room for disagreement or different intrepretation? Just you and the people who agree with you, who are definitely right, and the foolish, misguided people who like the story and Venat (because they want to simp for thier crystal mommy or refuse to acknowledge genocide, or something. Not because they looked at the same story that you did and came to a different conclusion.)
