It's honestly unfathomable that Venat gets to be depicted as some sort of messianic archetype despite not only being responsible for sundering all of Eitherys into 14 separate shards populated by people with no memories of their previous lives and drastically weaker than before, but also the sheer amount of devastation Emet-Selch, Lahabrea, Elidibus, and the rest of the shattered Convocation would leave in their wake in their desparate bid to reawaken Zodiark and restore their world. To say she has blood on her hands would be the greatest of understatements.

It would have been so much better if instead of doubling down on the whole "Crystal Mommy can do no wrong and loves us because we're her children " schtick, the narrative painted her exactly as she is. A flawed Ancient who jumped the gun on Sundering all of Eitherys based on Meteion's report, and the overwhelming guilt that would come of such an action, even if it was to save a world that isn't her own.
