Rewritten MSQ - Garlemald and EW

[Lauront]

*snip*

I don't think anyone is going to take you particularly seriously with the attitude you have, when in the same breath you're calling people 'uneducated' but whining about "karens" and "swearing", as if this plot is particularly deep or intelligent. Anhaato understands the story quite well based on discussions I've had with him. Certainly better than the "average Joe" who thinks that Venat scene is a literal, accurate depiction of what happened, or that Zodiark is a blood god. But, you are just here to berate the heretics. I understand.

Or Venat being something akin to Jenova, would probably also have been very interesting as well. But I kind of think she would have worked great, had she also been a more misguided antagonist, who did things in good intentions, and in belief for the greater good, with full of regret of what she has wrought, by the time we come to her, and confront her.

I also think there was scope for them to do something like this, e.g. as outlined here.

Somewhere I like to think that Ishakawa, was planning to make Venat into such a character but Yoshi-P or directors wanted her to be this vomit inducing 'can do no wrong' Mary Sue instead, such a shame though.

There is nothing confirming it, per se, but... there's telltale signs, IMO.
