[00:00] Introduction – The central argument: Why Hornet is Devoured in the Weaver Queen Ending. [00:23] The Weaver Queen Ending Visuals – Analyzing the scene where Hornet binds the Queen, gains power, changes her mask/eyes, and gets new arms.

[02:40] Hornet's Demigod Status (Lore Breakdown) – Explaining Hornet's parentage (Pale King + Hera the Beast) and establishing her as a demigod. [03:33] The Core Theory – Grandmother Silk devours Hornet, takes over her body, and gains a new form to rule Pharloom. [04:04] Kratos Parallel – Using the God of War example (Kratos vs. Ares) to show that a demigod can kill a god, but devouring one is a much greater leap.
