Exactly! Everything that comes after would come off flat. I mean, how could you top saving the whole multiverse! Their deaths need to mean something, otherwise why kill them off in the first place. I feel like the writers are just doing it for the shock value. But, there's only so many times one can shock the reader with the same old thing.

Do let me know what that concrete decision may be. Definitely interested to hear what it is.

It didn't come across as overdone. I truly appreciated it! Admittedly, I do often get down on myself. I don't know why it is, but I was always wired that way. Definitely something I'm trying to work on getting rid off this year.
