[quote]Except it’s not. You don’t just get over grief. The Nightmares specifically targeted fears or insecurities within those they were bonded to. Zavala’s wears the face of his wife and blames him for the death of Hakim because he felt he should be blamed, it’s why he left her. That has nothing to do with Zavala being presented with the chance to have his family back. I’m beginning to think half of these people on these forums have never lost someone close to them. Grief isn’t something you ever fully get over. Which is irrelevant anyways because he refused the offer.[/quote] The way haunted ended made it seem like he came to terms with it, and bringing it back up and seeing him make, if anything, the opposite of progress was a huge detriment for his character and also very poor storytelling. Like they couldn't think of a second thing for him to be insecure about. Just like Saint and Osiris apparently no longer having any other interests or cares in the world outside each other now, as all their conversations are about how gay they are and not, y'know, about the game world we're currently in. I care about round 2 with Zavala's divorced wife as much as I care about Osiris and Saint saying things on a public radio channel that they should be saying privately. That is to say not at all. If it were a straight couple, I'd still call it cringe. They just injected that crap right into a Vex and AI storyline for no reason dude. Back to Zavala, it's been centuries. And he knows he's in the witness and that none of it is real. Shattering the illusion that he's a strong leader every time they need some story friction is, has been, and will always be lame. Just like putting incoherent cooing on the public radio in a season about Vex and AI is lame. It's all lame, super forced, and not at all relatable. It's just Bungie saying "see? Look at our gay characters being gay. We're so woke." And you don't know literally any human person in this thread on a personal level, so making wide sweeping assumptions about their lives makes you sound like a d*ck.
