On Themis [6.4 SPOILER]

Gimme that alt timeline. I don't care if it doesn't hit as hard.

Please, no more Marvel multiverse garbage. We already lost a potentially good game out of Bayonetta 3 because of it. Let a story retain consequences.

I mean, it's already happened. That's a factor in the contention: it's already established to be possible and have happened, but the emotional catharsis and acceptability of this expansion's writing largely depends on desperately hoping we just pretend it isn't and hasn't, even though it was the very crux of just the prior expansion's plot.

It just gets even moreso when you examine it further and recognize how it falls into the pattern where a multiverse is acceptable and even considered good and heroic to weave, but on the condition that it's to the benefit of the player/Warrior of Light, as usual. Anyone else is stuck "accepting their tragic fate" and prioritizing reducing so much as mere emotional consequences to the WoL as much as possible.
