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

[Dorito_Burrito]

Whether it's Argos doing it or not is immaterial. It was done on a split second to catch the WoL who fell, and thusly, could have been done at any other point, apparently anywhere Argos is directed to or decides to do it at.

I dunno. I just can't find the mid-air rescue all that contrived when we've seen Ancient magicks do precise things like pluck a specific person's soul from the Lifestream and conjure them the clothes they were wearing before they vanished, or recreate a whole city from memory and inhabit it with shades of the past, or erase memories from a very specific starting point. Mind you, all of this was done by unsundered Ancients like Venat, so I don't see why she's the one deserving of flack when she does it.
