Even when he finds out Hydaelyn is a primal in 5.0 he refuses to believe any negative implications that has for Minfilia. The 3.2 artwork also shows Minfilia chained to the Mothercrystal. Minfilia herself says that until she offered herself up as a vessel she was alone in the aetherial sea. I'm always baffled by the ones who say there was no evidence Hydaelyn wasn't good when there's a long history of her being shady even without the Ascian perspective.
Honestly this is what finally drove me to hate hydaelyn in the first place. I'm one of the dozen people who loves minfilia, so sorry to say that there's no way for me to forgive her for what she's done. Asking minfilia to kill herself, then left her alone to try saving the First until the WoL come. Imagine having to reborn, fight in wars, died painfully; over and over again for 100 years.

And yes, it's so strange that thancred doesn't have any reaction whatsoever when he finally face to face with hydaelyn.

Apparently venat has enough power to fight us, and the aether she accumulated has leftover that's enough to empower Zenos for a trip to ultima Thule. And yet she still ask for her follower to died so she can used her.... Man, if this game gave me options, I probably would beat venat to (half)death during our spar back in elpis.
