The real tragedy is that on paper, Miquella's plan was perfect, it was genuinely born from kind and compassionate intentions, but when he realized he had to sacrifice more to fulfill his goals, he began to abandon everything to resolve himself for his wish. Hhe believed that his dream would remain pure, separate from his actions, but the moment he decided to abandon his flesh, his sacrifices and his resolve, would all be in vain. His connection to the living, the mortal part of his demigod blood, that allowed him to sympathize with others, would be twisted the moment he ascended to godhood, and remained in St. Trina. St. Trina holds the true personality of Miquella, and the one we face at the end is a diety that can no longer comprehend or enact the human kindness he wished to guide the world towards. Just the blinded "compassion" of a god who could no longer understand the human heart. How could a god save something they can't comprehend? It would be a salvation deprived of sympathy. The same kind any other god in the Lands Between would bring. Miquella's wish, would only ever be a contradiction.

Miquella is basically fromsoft Griffith, as Miyazaki loves berserk references, tho Griffith is effectively the anti-christ of berserk

While I compared Miquella to a cult leader in the original base game instead of the outright Antichrist, I was one of the few that wasn't on Team Miquella then. I noticed the holes in the "savior" image Miquella projected, especially when the Bewitching Branch revealed he gained worship through mind control. I feel vindicated.

Keep in mind that as a student of Golden Order fundamentalism, Miquella would be deeply familiar with the Law of Causality, which imposes a form of deterministic order upon the world. Going even further, Golden Order fundamentalism was developed in large part by Radagon, who trained in Carian astrology, and so it is highly likely that Miquella was aware that before Radahn came along, the stars had the power to control fate, and even now, fragments of starlight can usurp the will of mortals. He may have been casual about removing free will because he might not have believed free will existed to any significant degree to begin with, and decided that people were better off having their wills steered by a god who loves them rather than far off stars like Astel who don't care one way or the other.

Miquella is both Griffith, and your archtypical Dark Messiah, except instead of wanting to bring about some world of like, fear and death and all that, he wants to bring about peace, love, and order, through basically stripping away free will

the lore would of been perfect if godwyn was the promise consort and maybe they used radahns body as the vessel because his ways of war would of went against miquellas peaceful world

I think that the point of Elden Ring is that everyone is trying to become God, but they all eventually fail because... Well they can't. The way they become God is by removing something from the world, Marika removed death, while Miquella wants to remove freedom. God, or the Greater Will, created all these things, so trying to remove them would go against his will. A "proper" God would embrace all things equally, ironically Ranni's ending is closer to this, although I don't like her as a character

I think Miquella's curse of nascency is more than just being young looking forever. A lot of lore analysis type of content creators think it's directly relating to him starting things and never being able to finish them, which directly runs into an unfortunate circumstance considering Malania being cursed by the god of rot. Another thing about this game that is so interesting is the direct comparisons to Christianity so consistently, in regards to Marika more than anyone else. Its a thing that's even more interesting given the Japanese history around Christianity.

miquella the glorious would never do such things!

Mohg’s ending is already in the game as the dung eater questline

I think honestly, the villains and characters in the dlc are some of the best in the game. Miquella is a brilliant villain and so is Messmer. Also, I still think Mohg was a bad guy. His bloody fingers thrive on tormenting other people. He's very much obsessed with power, I think. Technically the most "good" demigod in the game is Morgott, although he is misled. Maybe also Radahn, but he's not really cogniscent at any point during a playthrough. I guess there's also Rennala, because she banned a lot of the inhumane magic practices that turn people into rocks and graven masses, but she's also seen better days. (she's also not a demigod, though)

The first red flag we should have seen was when his name changed from "the Unalloyed" to "the Kind" They turned him into a different character, I'm telling you

As for methodoly, inventing a hell realm and threatening people with it, doesnt seem to be the ideal, so the search continues No solution can come from gods, as its top down, and does not adress the unique needs of every being that is a product of this pluralist world

You seem unaware but "Satan" is a title and used in ways such as "the satan" meaning the opposer, as in a member of the angels that god has taken on this role to give god some pushback

You know, people dunk on Miquella and call his methods reprehensible...but how is he doing anything different from what the player is doing? We go around and butcher practically anything and anyone with any sort of authority in the lands between (and most of its wildlife) with nothing but our own lust for power and craving for violence as justification. Hey, if we want we can even curse the land or destroy it altogether on nothing but a whim. Suddenly Miquella taking extreme measures to ensure peace in the land via forcefully pacifying its inhabitants don't seem so "villainous" any longer. I mean Ranni, Miquella's supposed "good" counterpart plans to remove any semblance of order from the Lands Between in the name of "freedom" when this is guaranteed to cause even more chaos and warfare until there's no one left or some other tyrant takes the helm and everything's back at square one.

I thought wed get a miquella ending like ranni but it wasn't to be

He the anti Christ of Elden Ring

Take it back! He is God!

Marika's "other half" Radagon was as completely seperate person she fused with try and create the Alchemic Rebis, the Divine Hermaphrodite, wikipedia "Rebis", the problem is that Radagon was no Sulfur, he was Pyrite, fools gold, Miquella does this in reverse, to try and recreate it fully with Radahan, him being the masculine Sulfur

6:48 the problem of evil does not apply to Miquella because he is never claimed to be an all powerful god and he also never created the universe. If the god of the bible is all powerful and it created the universe, then it would not have created one where gratuitous suffering was unavoidable. I think the take away here is that Miquella's kindness is not kindness at all because it comes in the form of compulsory subjugation. Just like how the god of the bible's love is not love at all, because it comes with the threat of eternal torture if denied. If you love someone, you let them go. You don't throw them into a pit of fire. I'd have to say Miquella comes out on top here, at least he doesn't torture us for eternity
