Oh yeah that part I totally agree on, the game basically forcing us to pretend that venat did no wrong is problematic regardless of how the story actually panned out

I just started this discussion because like I said since I came in with the interpretation that the barrier didn’t protect the ancients then venat’s actions made more sense than any other alternative presented in a reasonable timeframe of the event, using that idea venat is ultimately good if highly flawed, using the idea that the barrier did protect the ancients then venat goes from “highly flawed but ultimately good” to “arguably worse than those she fought against”

Regardless neither option fits with this “benevolent goddess who can do no wrong” the game tries to force
