And at the end Thanos gets all of the stones, but he just vanished and everybody is fine

And Starlord still says "did we just lose?" in the midst of it.

But it’s a genuine question cause nobody knows and everybody is confused

Where is the Veil?

Yeah, I'll do you one better: WHO'S the Veil

I'll do YOU one better: WHY is the Veil?

The real veil was the friends we made along the way

Well the Witness did accomplish what they came here to do, so it’s more like if Thanos gets the stones, snaps his fingers, and portals out.

And then the camera hard cuts to Captain America a day later saying “Well, half of all life in the universe just died…”

Ok, but like, what did the Witness accomplish? Everything is fine, nothing serious seems to have happened. He fucked off into a portal, but everyone still has the light, and I doubt we will see him again until Final Shape. We didn’t really have that moment of “half of the universe dying”, we just had the snap and nothing more

My personal spinfoil is the old “Traveler is a dyson sphere with internal volumes containing something”, and the Witness went inside to kill/trap/usurp whatever it is. And that’s why the ghosts can’t seem to feel the Traveler anymore, despite it physically still being there.

Which should be a much more emotional and significant reveal than what we got. But you’re right, gameplay wise nothing really changes for us, and there’s not much chance we’ll see eyebrows until the finale. What an odd choice of ending for the penultimate expansion of the saga.

and it's gonna take a year for the witness to do whatever it needs to do wherever it is?

I mean, I sure hope the seasons in Lightfall end up being narratively important as the lead up to The Final Shape.

But at the same time, The Final Shape is a whole expansion plus seasons, the last ones to end the current saga. It's both a lot of room to write in, but not a lot of room to actually build and execute a holistically satisfying ending if that makes sense.

So I just guessing that if there are any crazy jawdrop moments of the Witness, it's likely going to be there.

i agree that a lot is riding on tfs and regardless of how good it is, making up for lightfall in anyway will inevitably hold it back, especially in only 8 missions. i really wanted xivu to be the calus of tfs but after lightfall giving us no context on the witness i think she should be after as some people have suggested and everything should be on the witness.
