When do you presume she knew they were trying to flee? How do you know that she was trying to block their escape? She doesn't know the way out as it is.

Why would she block ANY direction unless it was to prevent them from getting away from her?

Escape doesn't just mean "back the way they came" it means "away from her". If she's webbing up passages, it's because she doesn't want them to go where she can't get them.

You can see this in multiple ways, killing some of them sends a message to stop fucking with her. Trying to kill all of them means that she could also be worried of the survivors being able to lead bigger parties towards her location (which has already happened to her in the past). There's safety in leaving no witnesses.

Yes. That IS how a complete monster would rationalize it. Thank you for making my point.

he's been in constant danger and trying to survive since she was born, if you can't sympathize with that just because this time around the enemies were humans... well, that's on you.

Is that supposed to make me think that position is actually some kind of hot take?

As a former human, she knows humans are thinking, feeling people, and not just animals, like she could have assumed everything else she's killed has been.
