>No we fucking cannot.
Yes we do
>No, it isn't, she murdered Godwyn's soul to destroy her own body
Nope, the Black Knives tried to kill him to have him reborn as Lord. Ranni saved him by killing her body which in turn saved his. She sure benefit from it, but nonetheless saved him
>Godwyn was only ever down there because he was burried in the tree
No, that's not how Erdtree Burial works. Godwyn was there because he was placed like Marika at the end to become Lord
>It's very explicitly godwyn which is causing the undead apocalypse
No it isn't. Godwyn is actually saving lost souls of a long lost Order that can be reborn in Death, highlighting a clear flaw of the current Order, the lack of Death.

Those who now Live in Death are alive, sentient normal people, just inhabiting a skeletal vessel because of course they have been buried long ago. They are not evil people, they are an oppressed bunch who would band aainst Tarnished and other Golden Order affiliates because they defy the Order. They are an organized society nonetheless. Others like Ironeye are not like that and you get the option to create an Age of Duskborn where people simply live in Death. The only "zombies" in the setting of Elden Ring were caused by grace
