Can't argue with that But they're not needed to tell the stories they're trying to tell

In some regards this is true. Comics limit the scope as you have a deadline to make and artists to pay and make sure meet the deadline. Imagine if we had gotten a book regarding all of Osiris' legacy or even just a few online pages where in we read of the legendary figure. Some stories are better told through comics like Ana's, but more in depth ones which explore more integral characters like Osiris, a wall of text might be better and could actually shed some light as to why we do not see him often throughout the story or why he was so short with us at the end (explaining that he is addicted to solving the vex problem and that him going back into the forest was giving into his addiction but we need him to keep doing that job so we have to let him go, or soemthing to that effect). All in all, I both agree and disagree with you and I am glad we both see it from eachother's perspective. Let us shake hands in the manliest of ways. *note: like this https://youtu.be/rQzFz6r074o
