Call me the river in Egypt the way I be in denial, but I feel like "I'm not from Halcandra" could actually be a double play...
In the last part of that 4 part KSA interview, there's this really interesting section where Kumazaki is asked what the Void Termina and Kirby relationships are about, and his response is so interesting.
So the first thing he says is that he wants to be vague to keep it a mystery ofc, and then he goes on to explain the exact concept of why Void Termina looked like Kirby. He said it was imprinting; that Hyness had wanted to be there when it awoke to fill it with darkness, but instead its first reaction was to Kirby, thus taking his face. But when VT tapped into the well of darkness used to birth it, it turned for good.
Now that is insane cause it seems to completely blow the Kirby is Void theory out of the water, right? It wasn't born looking like Kirby, it copied Kirby's face...
But who else in this series is known for their ability to copy others?
THATS what I'm talking about. And if you want more proof, it's just the fact that Kirby and Void being related is also like??? The most thematically cohesive narrative lol? It would make no sense story wise to build up all these connections between Void and Kirby for it to just be for nothing. That's a double twist for a double twist's sake when the first one was more satisfying.
SO HERES THE THING WITH MAGOLOR!! We ALREADY know, his species is supposed to be related to Hyness who is undoubtedly related to the Ancients. There was NS channel post pointing at this, and the confirmation of Mago's lil ears, and the way the marks on Mago's hood look like Hyness' natural ear colors - like it all lines up.
And the other thing is... Magolor says he isn't from Halcandra, but we never know where exactly he IS from. It would come off then that he was born a traveller and scavenger maybe. And that nothing naturally lives on Halcandra's surface.
So put together that he's related to Hyness, has no home planet, and whoever previously lived on Halcandra obviously migrated - and I think my working theory is that Magolor is still related to the ancient Halcandrans but doesn't know it.
Maybe he's related to the long-ago exiled Jamba that then had their own detractors. That would explain a bit of his slack morals and magical abilities, as well as paralleling Hyness and his other quest for powerful relics of yore. Maybe the people who left Halcandra as it was collapsing spread across the galaxy and to deter people from returning to their home and repeating mistakes they never passed down it's existence. Which would make his rediscovery of it ironic.
My main problem with Magolor being completely and wholly foreign to the planet is that it takes away more info about him and the planet than it gives. I just like holding on to the idea it's all still related cause it feels more cohesive yknow... I also just love Halcandra to bits and will be hungry for content related to it until I get my 60hr Heroes of Yore RPG...
