Endwalker Story sucked and it's time to admit it

[Iscah]

I believe you when you say that the writers aren't on the same page as their writing, they wrote this evil character and portrayed her a tragic hero and expected people to buy it. Thus she is indeed a villain in all but name, and a lot of people bought the lie, hook line and sinker.

But they didn't intend to "sell you a lie". They intended for her to be a tragic heroine. They did a bad job on the details but it's still what they intended, and other parts of the story reflect that portrayal.

So, going forward in the story, you have the choice to accept their intent (and not scrutinise the details) or focus on an interpretation that might be "more accurate" but at the cost of being at odds with what the writers think they wrote and thus will refer back to.
