Use "fue" (ser) for describing the inherent nature of the talk; "estuvo" (estar) would refer to a temporary state, which sounds odd here.

Avoid stacking intensifiers; "muy" already means "very" and "súper" adds the same meaning.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, "súper" is an informal intensifier, perfect for casual conversation or social media. In formal contexts (e.g., academic reports) you’d replace it with "muy" or "sumamente". Also, "reveladora" is often used to describe ideas, discoveries, or insights rather than visual revelations.
