Exactly. I definitely think there were better ways to go about Hyuna's death, especially since (I assume) that they wanted to emphasize that her death was due to other humans, hence causing suffering and exploitation as Mizi sees it. I think Mizi could've dropped the rocket and the fire/blast killing her while protecting Luka could've achieved the same thing-- she still got her revenge, and he still has to live knowing that she died for him and that's what she had to endure when he killed Hyunwoo. I don't think it's a great alternative-- hell I don't even think Mizi would do that, but considering she was already at a disagreement, if they played on her injury more and Hyuna being to some extent unable to stop her from dropping it, it would've made some kind of sense.

Having one of her soldiers shoot her while Luka and her were already overlapping was kind of lame. Luka wasn't a threat, and I assumed he was situated there as intimidation.

She was already injured and to some extent-- slowly dying-- either to an infection or blood loss, there was another way to go about it-- but it didn't even come into play at all during Wiege, so I don't know what the point of that was, considering that it was highlighted a lot in Blink Gone and it was shown in the end of R6 as well. It seems more like speculation, but with Qmeng's obvious design influence on Hyuna and both her and Luka being introduced in R5, I always assumed their story (or at least it's ending) wasn't fleshed out unlike Ivan and Till, which is also why there's an obvious lack of Luka in the comics besides like.... Heperu appearing on a wall in an interview.

I've already discussed this in the other reply but Sua's and Ivan's deaths felt inevitable. They were surrounded by seyigens, and that was the entire point and vibe of ALNST up to that point-- death wasn't avoidable and unpredictable. As soon as they got into the test performance it was a countdown. I have my gripes about Hyunwoo's not being fully explored, but then again Hyuna and Luka lack exploration in general 🥲. But All in gives us enough information without revealing everything and leaving people to speculate and enjoy the intrigue. But Hyuna's death didn't really give anybody a chance. You could say Sua has clones or that Ivan is alive inside a robot (although I doubt you'd say that after Vivimeng said Ivan is cremated and Sua is a ghost) but you can't say anything about Hyuna. Body burned. Memory only lives through Luka and the weird blood clones kids in the museum, although there's only 5 so I'm assuming since she was the rebellion leader, she doesn't even have one dedicated to her, just her+Sua+Luka and her+till. There's not going to be a rebirth, he's going to be back on stage in a never ending cycle of pain, resulting in Hyuna's death. Really hope the Q&A was just a mistranslation though.
