There's something meta about like. The theme of choosing life versus choosing death. In relation to the Oxventurers and how they play out that finale.
Like they meet with They and explain why they on an individual level want and deserve to live and why Geth deserves to continue. Corazon seeks to keep growing as a person and interacting with other people. Merilwen wants to preserve the force of nature. Dob believes in chaos. Egbert wants good to endure. Prudence rejects the question on the basis that she deserves to live by virtue of having lived.
Liliana is reluctant and afraid. She wants to fix what she's done because she doesn't want to see everything destroyed, and she's warring with shame for her other deeds. She is desperate for community but having trouble accepting it, allowing herself to have it. They tell her she is forgiven.
And then in the finale, everyone obviously fights hard to get rid of the world ending threat, and then the minute it's over Liliana throws caution and self-preservation to the wind because at least one of them has got to die. She can't accept this world where they all go on living and trusting each other and growing together. She has to sabotage it.
And I really believe she's smart enough to know she's probably killing herself, especially when Merilwen starts attacking her and she then doesn't run. Everyone else chose life - fighting for Geth, for themselves, for each other - and Liliana chose to give up.
That's why it doesn't bother me that the cheesed the literal finale boss, besides it being on brand and hilarious. It wasn't about the giant or the apocalypse. It was about who each of them is as a person. It's about choices. It's about whether you choose to move forward or give up hope.
In the end, everyone lived and got what they were seeking, except for Liliana, who couldn't trust herself and gave up hope. By enraging a very scary wood welf druid.
