What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[Vyrerus]

Hildibrand among other things

I actually had to login the other day to retain forum access, and I had yet to do the new leg of Hildibrand for the relic. It was very short though the comedy did land for me again. I'm easy to make laugh, heh.

But the most interesting thing that came from it was the nod to something both apart and not of Hildibrand. Apparently...

Hildibrand's ancestor was a Hyur midlander afflicted with a terminal illness that came in contact with an, I shit you not, Alien Symbiote. The Symbiote fixed and strengthened his body to a great degree, and this apparently passed on through the Manderville generations and is supposedly responsible for Godbert and Hildibrand's ineffable vigor. The storyline said that the Symbiote's race were called the Mandervillians and they had to flee their cosmic empire that was brought low by phenomena hinted strongly to be Meteion's Final Days

And that is legitimately the most interest I've taken in anything in Endwalker since we first opened up The Void. It means we might see the next threat be symbiote enhanced enemies. An ass pull lifted straight outta Spiderman! But one I've always rather liked, being a somewhat big fan of Venom and Carnage. Of course, it's just as easily discarded, with Godbert even having a line, "But the family tree says..." So idk. Like anything interesting in EW it probably isn't going anywhere cool.

So in short, Eddie Brock is Godbert's ancestor? The spiderverse is wild....
