On Venat's Role in the Story

[Brinne]

Just like Venat herself, the writers were so intent on killing all the Ancients that they were willing to sacrifice everything else in the world building to do it, too!

Look, if we agree the Sundering was a janky, badly written case of the writers working backwards and they did a poor job actually justifying why it needed it happen from a grounded, in lore standpoint, then what is there to discuss if we’re not engaging on a writing/audience/meta level, ie, “how did the writers end up at a point where their precious cart was worth desperately justifying the eradication of this entire population”, what they tried (and failed) to do to make it work, and why it did or did not land for different portions of the audience?

If it falls back onto “don’t talk about it” in general, if you’re tired of hearing about it, that’s perfectly ok, but it’s also literally the topic of this particular thread. People are free to ignore it and not respond when people speak up to voice that the bizarre priority given to this cart to the point of accepting the most mangled, grotesque of horses makes them uneasy as an audience member.
