Finished the MSQ - Feels bad, pushed to do evil [Spoilers inside]

[Lersayil]

As much as I agree, I doubt there was a reasonable way to keep the Endless around long term without undermining the writers other pet theme they like pushing: that the endless circle of life and death is a good thing, we shouldn't aspire to break from it, and we shouldn't be sticking around too long or cling to the past either.

If we managed to keep them running on an alternate power source, it would mean that the world now has a self contained, visitable, fully functioning, (semi)eternal, happy afterlife you can opt into at will. I doubt the writers could handle that magnitude of a world changing event in the story well.

No, the Endless probably had to go sooner or later if they wanted to stick to their themes. They should've just... handled it better. Like a lot better.
