Hidden Genius Behind Targonian Aspects

So I remember when the Mount Targon lore was first released, and how the community had some negative thoughts on the retcon of the Aspects, such as how divided they are and their conflicts. Personally, I think this is a good starting-point for a big event in the future. Targon's stories obviously hint at lots of new Void stuff, with the fact that multiple Aspects being in Runeterra at once signal that something big is coming, and the images Diana saw of Lunari and Solari fighting together against Void.

My theory is that all the Aspects may have to put aside their differences and fight alongside one another to stop the Void, which isn't going to be very easy either. Right now, we have Leona Diana Pantheon & Taric Diana and Leona hate each other for their extremely conflicting views, while Leona is currently seeking out Diana to either fight against or with her. Pantheon hates both of them, as he was the one that challenged Leona to a fight to the death and he isn't a big fan of Diana either, but he's also a complete opposite of Taric. Taric is the only one that is sort of cooperating, but he dislikes Pantheon for being "the most hated Aspect."

Now we have this triangle of hate between Diana, Leona and Pantheon, with Taric sort of in the middle. Along with that, the conflicting ideas of Targon are also seen in AurelionSol's bio, as the only reason they lost control of him was because they conflicted with one another to the point that Aurelion could break free under the radar of their bickering at one another. Now imagine the four Aspects arguing with one another as a Void rift opens, with Aurelion Sol laughing at them for their mortal arguments. This may be the premise of an excellent story of unity for the good of the world.

In general I think the aspects are a pretty interesting concept and feel a bit like the gods from Mt.Olympus(which likely is intentional considering that Pantheon is based on a spartan).

However the problem is in my opinion that they are so extremely mysterious. I mean we really know pretty much nothing about them,other that they are some sort of spirits that posess people(with varying degrees of control),they seem to fight the void and they seem to have some trouble fighting among themselves,but we really don't know whats that about.

Wasn't Atreus, Pantheon's mortal host, who challenged Leona?

I've personally liked the aspects since I've heard of them. (I had no exposure to the old lore fyi.)

I can totally see a followup story.

PS Leona is looking for Diana to fight with her because upon becoming an Aspect she realized that Diana was right.

Diana does not hate Leona though, she wants to illumine her.
