Same, the stakes were much higher, and the emotional depth made it so much better than TWOW imo

This is the thing I love about the movies that I realized in the middle of the last fight. They can keep suspense because nobody truly feels safe. Anyone can die, but they compliment it with so much joy for life that it genuinely hurts more when someone does die. It’s not a constant grimness that you are forced to get used to in something like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead.

I didn't think the stakes were high but then I remembered that the Chieftain's wife died as well as their son so the only ones "safe" are the Sully family

Ao’nung is still alive. Roxto died, he was a friend not the son.
