Giygas. Was he really evil?

[CheesusCrust]

Well yes, Giegue (as I like to think of him before he became Giygas) was only on a mission to destroy the humans out of his obligation to his race, as he was raised to be the Cosmic destroyer. But after his initial defeat, what he did to himself in order to be able to overcome his emotions and destroy the humans seems a little extreme for someone who was only in it because he had to be. Also, when he lost control of his mind, you would think that he only continues his destructive behaviour because of what he had become, but he shows that he is still intent on destruction regardless because of the Devil's machine, which contains his power and keeps his mind intact. While in the machine he continues to brainwash people and lead his starmen army.

True, but by the time that the party comes around to fight Giygas, his mind is gone...

Come to think of it, it was Pokey that told us that, and we know that little prick has been a thorn in our side. How the hell can he be close to him and not be destroyed?

I may need to finish the first game, there seems to be a lot there that's left unsaid about our ultimate destroyer.

When they come around to fight him, his mind is gone because Pokey turns off the Devil's machine, which causes all of his power to be released, taking the form of that red swirl of terror.

As evil as something that became too powerful to have a functioning brain can be. Think of Threed and Four/Moonside. I guess in whatever future Buzz Buzz came from all the cities are like that if they haven't just been wiped off the map.

In particular Moonside reminded me of the effects of the 'Darkhouse' in a Dr. Seuss movie from my childhood, probably the only thing Seuss has made that is remotely scary.

From your local Wikipedia: Giygas expresses his gratefulness to Ninten's family, as Ninten's great-grandmother, Maria, raised him, but explained that George stole vital information from his people that could have been used to betray them, then stated that one of George's descendants, Ninten, was interfering with their plans and must be stopped.

He eats prayers, OF COURSE HE'S EVIL!

In his final boss form, yes.

He was an unfeeling monster, who's form IS evil.

He used to have some good, but he had to get rid of it.


And he is not a fetus. He is an adult. If that fetus is anything, it symbolizes him feeling like a child because now he is feeling emotion.

Yes, for God's sake, yes. Now let us never speak of that thing ever again.
