Mitena might be the first Sang’gre who cannot be redeemed. It’s sad, but maybe that’s the point, the proof that having Sang’gre blood doesn’t automatically make you a beacon of goodness.

Tama si Terra, maybe we should stop hoping that Mitena will still change. It’s heartbreaking because we all know she’s just also a victim.

But in a way, it’s good for the story. So… safe to say na mangyayari ang tinakda, papatayin talaga ni Terra si Mitena. THE END.

This actually feels like the arc Adhara was supposed to have back in Encantadia 2016, an evil Sang’gre versus the good Sang’gres, but it didn’t push through. Now, it looks like they’re applying that concept to Mitena.

Pero sana (even if this theory seems unlikely) I hope she doesn’t become a full villain. An anti-hero Sang’gre would suit her better. Someone who no longer spreads hate or violence especially toward ordinary encantados (because somehow she understands their pain), yet she remains someone that other king/queendoms can’t fully trust.

Parang coexistence ang mangyayari. In that setup, she could rebuild Etheria. Yes, people will still judge her because of everything she’s done, but rebuilding Etheria might give her a sense of family, a reason to live, and somehow ease her pain.

I really don’t want her to die especially after everything she’s been through. Siya pa rin ang MATA, and possibly the last royal Etherian blood who can restore the queendom. Whether she rises again as an enemy of Encantadia or a redemption arc for Etheria salinlahi amidst prejudice, there’s so much potential there.

Gusto ko ulit ng ganitong arc: political conflict. Honestly, it feels unbalanced when Bathala-level beings are the main enemies. Maganda na nga ang premise ng Mineave vs. Encantadia. This time walang bathaluman (Ether) na bumubulong sa mga kalaban. Hindi lang sya na-handled ng maayos kasi masyadong nerfed mga bida natin, and the enemies’ power lacked proper justification or “physics,” which made viewers ask: “Bakit walang ginagawa si Emre?”

It’s actually good in the story when omnipotent beings don’t interfere too much, but the story still needs to justify it. For example, si Cassiopea nakulong sa ice candy gamit lang ang esperanto (Warka, bathaluman ka na, do something! Osge, baka naman malakas talaga ang esperanto at kayang magkulong ng isang bathaluman, pero nasaan ang kwento--saan ba galing ang esperanto?) Again, if there are questions, it means the story didn’t provide enough answers.

Sana rin may bad impact sa good side ang ending ng war, something bittersweet. Maybe Gargan should remove the ability for the Ivtre to return to Encantadia once they die. Para may weight ang life and death. Even if it’s fan service, bringing characters back repeatedly weakens the story. Another option could be placing a curse on all Bathala/Bathalumans preventing them from directly communicating with the encantados ever again. Or perhaps Devas and Balaak could become invisible to the living at hindi na mapupuntahan, unless you're dead.

If the next chonicle is just another “lost Bathala/Bathaluman returns as the villain,” it’ll feel repetitive. Itigil na natin ito.

Anyway, my point is: there’s still more that can be explored with Mitena. Right now, Encantadia needs a resident anti-hero, co-existing with the Sanggres, and she could be that character.
