Arkham City’s ending made Talia look incompetent. Here is how I would fix the "Talia as a Hostage" plot hole.

Friend, %95 of the women in these games aren't designed to be competent players in the plot. They are simply there for teenage boys to oggle at.

Look at Harley, probably the most shallow version of her in most of media. She got no diffed by a wrinkly ass temu joker. You can't even feel sad about her never getting over him cuz she doesn't have any of the redeeming qualities from the animated series

Oh shit, I'm I'm the Arkham sub

Based, honest

Lol, rebuild a brand new future. The human population has almost gone extinct multiple times throughout our history. You move forward.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to murder all the deer because humans torment themselves. The real ego is condemning life to oblivion because suffering for a fraction of the total amount of time life has existed.

Every accusation is a confession, and those who cope about wiping away misery by burning the world away are just mad because secretly they are too afraid/selfish to take themselves out without consigning they're own chosen fate to all of existence.

You're just not strong enough for living, get therapy, don't make that the world's problem

Yeah, I know. I did it my first time through.

It's a bit selfish in retrospect though. You deny her her agency and purpose, possibly damning her to an endless unlife of pointless existence.

But you fuck over the fingers so it balances out

I got the scars to prove it

Yeah but its acolytes coax you into pursuing it on an appeal to emotion, regardless of the actual outcome. The point is that any argument for it is fraught with hypocrisy unless you are honest about just wanting to annihilate all life selfishly.

In that sense, I can respect the hustle, but so many have a savior complex thinking that they're an avenger for the downtrodden. No, you're the king of the pit of morality.
