Just weird that they say the Witness is using his full arsenal outside the traveller yet the pyramids haven’t used their gravitational anomaly abilities at all like they did during the collapse. I mean one pyramid was able to take away an entire planet and we still have nothing that can dmg them. Feel like it’s a huge plot hole. And it’s weird because they haven’t retconned the pyramid abilities since it was talked about in the final shape collectors edition.

As per quote from byf's video I'm putting here: The witness HATES us.
-
The way I see it is that it’s a distraction. The witness is trying to stall us from entering the portal. How do you distract a bunch of guardians? Threaten the weak that they are told to protect. While we fight off the hordes in the city, the witness is able to gather his forces inside the traveler for when we inevitably cross over. Destroying the city would invalidate his plan. If the city is destroyed, every regular person would die. But guardians would just be rezzed. Now, without any city to defend, we could focus on getting into the traveler. And when we do show up, we’d be even more pissed.

Retcons. If you see inconsistency and contradictions or obvious plot holes; that’s why.

That's what happens when you write yourself in to a hole.

Because plot armor.

People are a resource

You do understand the pyramids went [b]inside[/b] the Traveler at the end of Lightfall? Did you watch the cutscene..?

Plot Armor

Realized something else. Using pyramid ships to wipe out the last city, wouldn't wipe out the guardians. They would just get rezzed. The guardians are the real threat to the witness, everyday citizens of the Last City are NOT about the storm the portal into an unknown and hostile environment.
-
On one hand it’s because this wasn’t supposed to exist at all, on the other it’s simply because the Witness is seeking to distract our forces. Initiating a prolonged siege on the Last City means that we have less resources available when we inevitably need to enter the portal. Wiping out the Last City would free up whatever forces remain when Osiris and Mara Sov manage to open our path through the portal. It’s a real shame that the only feats the Pyramids have engaged in is an energy beam, terraforming and nightmare generation. We should’ve seen their destructive might on Neomuna.

Witness is cosplaying as MegaMind

The Witness doesn't want Humanity dead, it wants to corrupt them.

because The Witness is a moron
