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

[aveyond-dreams]

I was under the impression according to Shadowbringers and Emet-Selch's explanation is that people weren't killed when the sundering happened, just their souls were split. All the current shards that happened right after had all the remaining people were identical in appearance/intelligence/ect (when he demonstrated on Ryne) but had forgotten about being long lived beings or about their past and whatnot and then they just died due to the normal things like happenings of war, sickness or old age. I don't see how that is "killing everyone."

We know this to not be the case, as pictured here:



This depiction is canon, and so we know that the Sundering unravelled the Ancients to the point where they had to re-evolve into the spoken races of the world. This transformation is so drastic and erased all but the faintest memories of the unsundered world, so I don't know what else you could call it.

What Venat did was the same exact thing as what God did when he cast Adam and Eve out of paradise for not learning and heeding His lessons. She tried reasoning with them and making them learn, they refused, so they were cast out of paradise (Unsundered world). Minfilia is akin to what happened to Jesus. God also flooded the entire world in what He deemed to be a greater good for the world. Yet I don't see people ranting about how God is evil for doing that.

The comparison of Hydaelyn to the Christian God is not an accurate one. Hydaelyn has demonstrated the qualities of pride and vanity in the face of the tragedy of the Final Days. By comparison, the Ancients around her were operating on logic while she attempted to preach to them about her ideals in the face of the most painful moment of their lives.

Needless to say it did not go down well. Who is she to preach to them? At that moment she certainly wasn't a being above them like the Christian God was to Adam and Eve.

Pair these qualities with her rebellion against the actual God that halted the final days, Zodiark, then what is she if not a fallen angel? Her actions and that of her biblical analogue condemned humanity to a spiral of suffering. We fought her on a literal lake of ice. Cold and beautiful, very accurate for this sort of villainous entity.
