Kill a scion

[Jeeqbit]

I just don't see Zero... living it up on this island. Either we're probably leaving her behind somewhere or she's gonna be killed.

I never understand why people seem to be out for blood regarding the Scions. Sure, killing off a character can be good for dramatic reasons, but it can also be lazy and forced. I for one liked that Endwalker ended on a positive note regarding our main cast, its a story about hope after all, and would rather they get retired then knocked off. That way they can come back if needed, there are still arcs and stories they can tell.

The problem is baiting death constantly
you can keep teh cast alive forever whatever but if you keep baiting their deaths over and over it gets really annoying

Oh with this I 100% agree. The faux deaths at the end of Endwalker where by far my least favorite aspect of the story, and frankly whilst I do love ya Y'shtola but if she throws herself into the lifestream again for the third time I am gonna just leave her there.

People have explained to you multiple times yet you still don’t understand? At this point it’s on you.

Hmm, apologies, mayhap my choice of words where wrong. Better perhaps to just say I disagree with the conclusions people come up with then haha.

Sometimes I wonder if certain posters have their minds wiped after having things explained to them, and that's why they never remember what was said last time.

This is exactly where I'm coming from. Killing off a character is often a crutch used by writers to mask lazy storytelling. However, if done right, it can be a great way to add tension and emotion to the story.

I like the Scions. I don't want to see any of them killed. I do, however, want to see them step aside so we can adventure with a new cast of characters, which is what I thought was going to happen after EW. Didn't SE say that was going to happen? I know I didn't just make that up in my head.
