As someone who enjoyed the heck out of Venat, it's interesting to see the takes of people who did not like her and in a lot of ways I can see where they're coming from. I liked how "messy" her character was. The gray morality was very appealing, but I'll agree it could have been done better. Perhaps if we got a more fleshed out retelling of the Final Days and its aftermath, instead of the pathetically truncated version we got, her reasoning would be less confusing. As it stands, we're supposed to fall in line and say, "Yep, the ancients were definitely going to fail like every other civilization in the universe. Gotta sunder 'em."
