rational part of brain: we already know that Aaravos is a master manipulator, so it makes total sense for him to be lying about Leola
very not rational part of brain: I'M GOING TO KILL THE STAR COUNCIL RIGHT NOW
rational brain: he's actively manipulating Claudia right now, and we already know that Claudia would do anything for her father and that she thinks doing horrible things for family is perfectly justified. by positioning himself as a loving father who had his daughter ruthlessly stolen by him, Aaravos stands to gain a lot of sympathy and trust
not rational brain: THEY MURDERED A CHILD FOR THE CRIME OF SHARING!!!! HOW COULD THEY
rational brain: they could have used shrinking magic to make a home on earth, but it's a weird thing to just not mention at all, especially when it's revealed he's a giant two seconds later. that could be a clue
not rational brain: I AM OFFICIALLY TEAM AARAVOS!!! LETS BURN SOMETHING
rational brain: sure, we have Leola's star, the Sea of the Outcast, and the corpse in the ocean, but that doesn't mean the whole story is true. we don't know she was his daughter. we don't know he made that sea. the corpse is probably her, but that doesn't mean the story he told was true. maybe part of it was but probably not all of it
not rational brain: JUSTICE FOR LEOLA!!!!!!!!
