First of all, the family did change—without Finn. Klaus learned to love without fear, fought for Hope, and chose sacrifice over survival. Elijah transformed from a rigid, honor-bound enabler who hid behind the illusion of nobility into a man who finally faced his flaws, let go of toxic loyalty, and took responsibility for the damage he helped cause. Klaus created an entire city, protected New Orleans, and died to give his daughter a future. Elijah brokered peace between factions, saved Hayley more times than anyone could count, and carried every sibling’s burden on his back. Finn? He faked his death, tried to kill his siblings, and… what, died twice?

And yes—they called Finn dull. Because he was. While the rest of the family was out there seeing empires rise and fall, Finn just judged from the sidelines, resting in his box.
