I've seen a lot of people criticising Elias for what he did but simultaneously not allowing criticism towards the surviving three and the choice they made, and i just wanted to say.
Both Jonah/Elias and the surviving crew acted the same. They both picked the choice that caused the future suffering of countless other people but let them be comfortable. Elias wanted to doom the world to live forever and be in charge. Basira and co. passed the fears onto other realities instead of destroying them because they didnt want to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
Of course these choices are different in their results, but they were both selfish.
