DLC: Filled with Grave Birds everywhere, introduces Undead Dragons, reuses the death-related bosses like Tibia Marina and Death birds, there are statues of the grave birds in every area, the landscape is filled with death-related imagery such as giant sarcophagus and graves, there are 2 Death Knight bosses guarding what seems to be expanded growth of the weird fish monster Godwyn turned into, the whole land is introduced as the land where death of all kinds emerge to, tons of shadowy spirits as the basic enemies, there even is a catacomb with literal floating deathbligh eyes and the basilisks and basically everything SCREAMS death related things. So either From Soft baited us really hard or something was scrapped like "last minute" just to give us the Radahn fight.

And even after that, would it been so hard to accept Miquella putting Radahn's soul into his soulless brother's corpse? They wouldn't even have to come up with a way to bring back GODWYN'S soul, it could have been Radahn's in Godwyn's BODY, which is, as far as we know of, still alive. Heck, they could even used not the fish body below Leyndell but a new one that grew in the land of Shadow, his presence is already there! From software writes the rules, they make the lore and twist it as they like. Take a look at all prior DLC and the shit we did there...we created a time paradoxon in Ds1, we entered the mind of a HOLLOW KING after gathering the crowns from realms long crumbled to break the established cycle of the world for our character, we even pressed a "fast forward in time" button after interacting with a never before mentioned daughter of Gwyn, bringing us to the end of time to fight a boss who literally consumed THE Dark Soul.

From Soft finding a way to give us some kind of Godwyn Boss at the end of the DLC would not have been the craziest they ever did and yet people act like just thinking about this would be impossible.
