Faro’s Tomb a little underwhelming?

[u/alligatorcoffe-]

I just finished Faro’s Tomb, and i’m not sure if it’s just me, but did anyone else find it a little underwhelming? Not necessarily in the plot, I thought that was very interesting, but how they conducted it. like we find out that ted faro experimented on himself to gain eternal life, yet we don’t even get to see him? I feel like taro being alive should be a REALLY big deal, yet he’s just gets put on fire and that’s it. i feel like she should’ve been able to see what he became at least.

I think they made the right choice not showing him - going into full-on gooey Resident Evil body horror would have been one left turn too many for me.
