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

Considering she caused far more death than the ascians ever did, while also lying,manipulating,and keeping secrets not only from her own people but from us as well, yes to me she’s a villain. Had she actually told her people the truth, perhaps they could have banded together and prevented the final days from occurring in the first place. But no, instead she kept it a secret. You just keep creating double standards for the sundered where it’s okay for them to do something but wrong for the ancients to do so.The lykaons were also a case of doing it for the greater good as they were going to end up slaughtering the other specimans. Lets not forget btw, if you do diadem, one of the mounts even acknowledges the fact that the "adventurers"(our wol's) from old diadem rendered an entire species almost extinct with only one surviving.Great value on life that. The sundered didn’t exactly get the message, do you remember ironworks? They were willing to sacrifice an entire timeline of people to bring back the wol because they couldn’t move forward in their world. The ancients were planning to move forward though, their whole plan was to resume their duties after the 3rd sacrifice, Venat didn’t give them that chance. Zodiark is without a doubt a “good guy.” He shielded the planet for thousands of years and kept it safe. Were it not for him we would be dead. Elidibus sacrificed himself for us, without him, again, we would be dead.
