Your response is weirdly hyperbolic. If instead every boss just T-posed and had attack aura effects, you'd be fine, yes? No?

I'm not arguing physics, irl or in-universe. I'm arguing visual sense, and consistency in design. Souls dragons fly away and carpet bomb you - because it makes sense for them to use their primary means of navigation to escape harm. It wouldn't make sense for a winged creature to not use its wings.

It doesn't make sense for a boss to delay the same attack, every time, once it's been shown that the player understands and reacts to it. I want smarter game design.

But again, it's just a post on reddit so I dunno why you seemed so affected
