I wanted a lot more lore answers but realistically there wasn't time so, overall I'm glad that instead of trying to crunch it in they just gave us a solid plot
the whole 'overhearing the worst part of a conversation you could hear' trope grated on me a little in FTF so I'm glad the misunderstanding with the Collector wasn't like, the whole or even main issue
but my favourite thing was him literally asking if this teenager was drunk and pointing out that no, Belos doesn't genuinely mean well. He's just a bigot.
I'm also... kinda glad we didn't circle back to Caleb and Evelyn. Which I feel bad saying because on a LORE level I want answers and I want more context for Hunter etc etc
but yeah at the end of the day our villain was a shitty 1600s puritan colonialist who could have changed and. chose not to despite living among these people for 400 years and no amount of backstory changes that
so much of their arc has been people trying to control them from Terra to the coven system to Terra's actual brainwashing attempt to literally being both a puppet and possessed
also on a character level I'm sad they have almost no actual dialogue together and no real. conversation because we don't really touch back on Eda's emotional stuff in any capacity except the nightmare bit
also her being like, glued to their side/sprawling on top of them after they go through a traumatic event gives me a lot of feelings in the context of Avi saying Raine's love language is physical touch
and in the context of my personal autistic raine headcanons and the fact I already played Eda as doing the tight hugs and laying on them for. comfort pressure reasons
partly because I wound up in a really bad mood about disney butliterally asking if this teenager was drunkand pointing out that no, Belos doesn't genuinely mean well. He's just a bigot.even that kinda doesn't matter

but also the titan
and I think that's beautiful=)time to circle back to Raine Whispers my beloved
and soberbecause I don't trust this kid to do more growing up without any guidance
and also worry about the other archivists being an issue butand not getting one for the couple that involves a trans/nonbinary person.
or less pretty shots of the isles in the credits
because we don't really touch back on Eda's emotional stuff in any capacity except the nightmare bit
on a themes level and not just an it was cute level
and in the context of my personal autistic raine headcanons and the fact I already played Eda as doing the tight hugs and laying on them for. comfort pressure reasonsI also like that Eda's dressed like captain hook but that's unrelated
