Ok, putting aside the idea of how on earth you can think a recreation of Amaurot where we have to wait in the DMV for several hours is somehow Emet-Selch’s version that is supposed to tug at our heartstrings and make us realize the innate superiority of his people, you do understand that it’s not nefarious for Emet-Selch to put forth that his people didn’t deserve to die, right?

Of all the things he could possibly be doing, showing us what amounts to old pictures of his home that no longer exists—and now has no chance of ever existing again—is about as diabolical as my mom getting weepy over old Christmas pictures from when I was a kid.

Venat literally speaks of the Ancients in similarly glowing terms! Do you think she has an angle when she talks about the people she loves so much?
