    Also yeah, the entire black rose / le blanc plotline was definitely a head scratcher. Why did Mel use them to defeat her mom but then go back and betray them to free her mom who then died anyway. Like wtf was that, felt like a bunch of unearned asspulls and pseudo-twists

      They showed that Black Rose can posses/assume an identity to infiltrate/spy. I think they wanted Ambessa for that and Mel didn’t let them use for their schemes.

      I don’t know what it was. To me it was some “magic mystics hidden in the shadows pulling all the levers of everything” thing like Dune’s Bene Gesserit but then it just felt like it was “AND THEY WERE DEFEATED” during the ending battle by the magic of pure willpower. Just shouldn’t have been in the story at all.
