HONESTLY THO like Davenport didn’t just lose years of his life he lost his ENTIRE SELF for an extended period. How do you even come back from that, I also love Lucretia but I couldn’t blame Davenport at all if he couldn’t bring himself to forgive her.
THE FUCKED UP THING. IS THAT. I THINK HE ALREADY HAS.
he immediately starts talking about the starblaster, starting a new cycle. they tried this one, they fucked it up, they have to move on. like griffin said in the narration at one point, davenport’s entire life was woven with the mission. it’s an intrinsic part of who he is, and that includes lucretia.
he has to be willing to work with her. he can’t be bogged down by petty bullshit and he can’t perpetuate it because he is the captain. if he were against her, it would be easy for taako, lup, and barry to hold that grudge too. that’d be half the team, versus magnus who got to live his life with julia and merle who also forgives lucretia.
even if barry and lup could live with the effects of what had happened and move on to a new cycle without complications, taako wouldn’t be able to put it aside to work together unless he had no other option. and so long as lup and barry are on his side, and they would be for a while, taako would continue to not trust her, sow discord because he pulls people into his gravity. he inspires pettiness and doesn’t forgive his grudges easily.
it would be detrimental to the mission, to basically have a 3v3 in the crew, and if davenport didn’t forgive lucretia? it would legitimize the fight. whereas, if he forgives and works with lucretia, then the others could be won over more easily and move on.
davenport realizes there’s no other option for him, no other way to stop the hunger. because his sense of self is the mission to save the universe in some state or another, he can be selfless enough to set his feelings to the side and do what needs to be done.
at least that’s what i think. :V
