RE: TWAB, Mara, Zavala, and Mark’s boyfriend
The degree of recognizing Amanda’s sacrifice is disproportionate to the value added. Her death was wasteful and inconsequential to the mission. Yet the key players involved, to include our woke former active duty aircraft mechanic, seem to think her death was beneficial to humanity.
Sorry but it was simply unnecessary to kill off a background character and then soapbox her actions as what humanity needs. And for our TWAB author to gloss over her death with a requiem of self-indulgent platitudes, making it about he/her vice the character is simply narcissistic and egotistical.
Moreover, the depth of lament over Amanda’s death, ostensibly a collection of 1s and 0s, eclipses the lament over the loss of a real human in Destiny via a vis Lance Reddick. We get cut scenes and steps in a quest to be reminded of Amanda’s loss. But gdammit, the best Destiny can do is have a pop up when I log in to briefly mention Lance’s passing? Not even a effing statue or plaque? I mean, -blam!- on me, Cayde gets one!
Ban me for chastising the Destiny crew. Downvote me to the abyss. IDGAF. The Destiny crew are the most reprehensible people in video gaming today. I hope the company tanks and I hope they all end up -blam!- and insane.

Amanda’s death was nothing but a prop to attempt to drive home the impact and loss from the Witness’ invasion. However, it was rushed, easily foreseen, and all-around lacking any kind of impact. It hurt more seeing the original Guardian trio get wiped by the Witness in the opening cutscene. Also, Amanda has been the most annoying character in the series, second only to Cayde, and she took his spot as most annoying when he died. So not only was her death not impactful, but I’m personally glad she’s gone. Next is Hawthorne. Her bird can stay, though.
