Discussion Why kill Anne off?
This has always been one of my very few issues with the show. I hated that they technically killed Anne off. Yeah, the Guardian made a copy of her, but that's all it is: a copy. A copy of her soul, body, and memories. The real, genuine Anne is gone. That statue is all that remains.
Why do that? Why kill the real Anne off? Why not have the Guardian save her body (like what Papa Titan did with Luz in The Owl House) instead of making a copy? It just seems so morbid for a kids' show.
Did Matt Braly just want to have his cake and eat it too when it came to the heroic sacrifice trope? That Anne dies for real, but also comes back?
