Beneath the bloodstained sand old

I get the feeling the Witness isn't NEARLY as powerful as we think.

The Witness is a small grey alien that uses Resonance to appear godly. Look what happened to Rhulk when Resonance and the Pyramid tech got used against him. I get the feeling it's as Savathun says: he's just a bro who found an ancient source of darkness and created technology from it that he used to transform himself, like a mix of The High Evolutionary and Tony Stark. I just can't picture the Witness flying out from its massive Pyramid and waving its hands around causing planetary destruction and that's because the Witness is just a mastermind and manipulator, hiding behind intimidation tactics and big imposing Pyramids to hide how small it actually is. As soon as it's Pyramid is infiltrated and the Resonance technology is turned against it, it's after images, echoing voices, and shroud will turn off like a light bulb for DPS time. Everything the Witness has done has been espionage, manipulation, and fear mongering tactics. Appearing as us in the Black Garden. Abducting us into it's Pyramids. Talking through our Ghost. Lying to Savathun. Lying to Rhulk. And giving us power to sway us. If the Witness was truly super powerful, it wouldn't have needed to lie to the Krill and create the Hive, corrupt Rhulk, lure Guardians with Stasis, recruit the Scorn, Cabal, Psions, Calus and others. It's saying the Travelers pale heart holds the key and sends Calus to Neomuna for something. If the Witness was nearly as powerful as we think, it could've ended us back in Season of Arrivals and wouldn't have to prepare so much. It wouldn't need a pale heart and it wouldn't have to recruit Calus, Eramis, Rhulk and so many other Disciples. I expected the being behind the Collapse to be scary and waste no time doing something apocalyptic but so far, the Witness ain't about it. Fingers crossed for The Final Shape and I'm hoping it has a second form or something that's actually intimidating.

    The Witness' greatest power seems to be deception. Without it he never would have created the Hive, which I would argue was the most frightening weapon in his arsenal. I think the Hive annihilated over 500 worlds or something like that. Edit: Disregard this post. Lag.
