i really dont know what to expect from magolor epilogue and im honestly not expecting a ton of story (lore stuff, absolutely bc magolor is kinda stuffed w lore as a character already) but ngl i do sorta hope theres at least a little bit of a hint of him improving or feeling bad or redemption so that people stop saying that he exists to be abuse apologia bc “he never got a real redemption arc”

#yknow ignoring that kirby as a series doesnt quite has a steady narrative #by this logic dedede being good now is abuse apologism bc he was a villain once and hes not allowed to improve and his arc was offscreen #and hes had a few villainous moments so obviously hes a poorly written character who ur suspicious for liking bc it means ur manipulative #u may think im exaggerating but fans back in the day were literally comparing him to abusers like. no?#tbf i mostly saw this during the point when this website was like ‘’redemption arcs are bad writing inherently’’ w no nuance #and trying to apply what went wrong with su to every property ever whether it fit or not #magolor is a fuckhead. yeah hes a dick. u dont have to like him but its so wild how ppl will act abt him #and its not even comparable to msot examples ppl compare him to like lusamine #w lusamine the argument was ‘’oh shes sad and she was a good mom once so she was never REALLY evil. ignore her verbally abuse lillie pls’’#magolor’s actions were never painted as something he couldnt control or that were misunderstood and well intentioned #hes a villain and the game is aware of that and thats why yknow. he literally got vaporized in the original #the ‘’oh he was only being possessed and controlled’’ thing was a misconception on fanons part. before rhe soul fight anyways #the reason he keeps coming back is bc hes a popular character that people like and wanted to see more of #and the reason his actions are brushed under the rug is not bc of a manifesto of why abuse is ok #its bc the devs were like ‘’wow itd be cool if u could race magolor in this game’’ and its not insensitive bc magolors plan was not based #in reality. idk this discussion annoys me lol #its fun to rag on him and bully him but trying to go ‘’if u like him that’s suspicious bc u like an abuser’’ is ridiculous #echoed voice
