This part was so fucking good, I have so much to say!
Like I watched it over a few times, and honest to god the emotions captured in it was so well executed (what with working with the timeframe they had)
Solaria being able to put Eclipsa’s fears aside that her mother would be ashamed of her. An ideal only reinforced in her by Mina (which is totally why Solaria didn’t even budge to try and help her when she was being attacked by the infected mill horse).
The first time watching through, I felt that Solaria was disappointed at first, but was ultimately happy for her daughter, who she’s shown to continue loving and supporting her and her family even in the afterlife.
But then I watched it again, and now I think differently?
Like more so, Solaria saw Eclipsa’s happiness, Eclipsa’s love for her family, her love for her daughter; and realized that she’d been wrong all along (she even sees a younger version of herself with a baby Eclipsa). She thinks about how before death, she put her daughter in a position were she could no longer go to her for guidance and help. Eclipsa couldn’t confide in her, like Solaria could with her mother. She realizes that she failed as a parent.
Solaria realizes that she let her irrational and misguided hatred of Monsters divide her and her daughter. And that in life, she was so consumed by her hatred, she failed to see how that affected her only child.
The warriors she created to kill monsters, now saw Eclipsa as one. That the thing she created to protect, almost killed the one she loved most.
The look she gives Eclipsa when she approaches her wasn’t one of disappointment to her daughter, but disappointment in herself. Its the ultimate look of, “I done fucked up” and honestly I’m fucking glad.
I’m happy that Eclipsa could get an answer to the fear she’s been carrying since probably childhood.
No she’s not a disappointment, no her mother doesn’t hate her for doing a complete 180 on her ideal Muni.
And lastly, her mother couldn’t be happier because her daughter has been through so much, and despite everything, never wavered in her love for her family and want to achieve peace in Muni. Solaria was strong, but her daughter is so much stronger.
It goes back into the theme of the episode. Something can be cleaved apart, or cleaved together.
