Is Lavos evil?
>>732776857are spiders evil?
He ruined my day at the fair so yes he is evil.
>>732776857No, it's just doing what it does as an organism, it doesn't have a sense of right or wrong.
>>732776918>t.Chrono
>>732777116>Chrono
So in Chrono Cross does it reveal that Chrono's crew shouldn't have used time travel to fight back against Lavos or something?
>>732776857Yeah.Next question.
>>732777190Whoops, Crono, not Chrono.
Lavos is incredibly evil. It's clearly a being of higher intelligence, capable of telling right from wrong, who considers all life in the universe to be worthless as anything other than sustenance. A real fatass too.
>Lavos is a parasitic extraterrestrial organism whose primary motivation in Chrono Trigger is to harvest a planet’s energy and DNA to evolve and reproduce, ensuring the survival of its species.seems neutral. performing its nature.
It's funny how we think of parasites, isn't it?>They're bad because they live off other animals.>Hey, but a lion that hunts and kills a zebra is wholesome.
>>732776857No. Lavos isn't a moral agent.
>>732776857Lavos is a parasite only following its natural way of life...but that way of life involves hurting other living beings and nature also dictates live being can defend themselves. The time devourer, on the other hand, was actually evil.
Evil is whatever impedes me or causes harm, knowingly or not, to those around me that I care about.
>>732777456Humanity has exterminated lions on multiple occasions. They used to exist outside of Africa.
>>732777409See that face? There's nothing in there but instinct.
>>732777456Have sex incel
>>732777190The stupid game runs with the implication that destroyed timelines are thrown into an unholy void and tries to 'fix' the issue.
other games with villains like lavos?
>>732780127Every other rpg?
>>732776857On the surface it doesn’t seem like it, but in my headcanon, yes. Also the shell is an organic biotech spaceship.
>>732780127Miang/Deus, Sephiroth/Jenova, etc. Planet eater was pretty popular villain in those years.
>>732780127Legend of Dragoon. It really is a common theme of the time.
>>732776857Yes. Lavos doesn't speak, but it's not a mindless monster, it's clearly malevolent on top of everything else. Queen Zeel, who acts as Lavos's avatar and speaks for him is literally the most evil character in the game.
>>732777409Human concepts of 'right' and 'wrong' are subjective. As an alien creature, it would have a completely different moral base if it were indeed even capable of such a thing.
So the alien in question gives the planet about 65 million years to grow civilization then nukes it all with spike bombs in the year of our Lord 1999. And some doomer wizard from a magical ice age civilization wants to stop this because his mom kulled his sister and he lost his cat. So the wizard pilots an army led by a trannie named flea to wage war against humans. Wait who is the villain again?
>>732777456>Hey, but a lion that hunts and kills a zebra is wholesome.Who the fuck ever said that
Dalton is the true villain of Chrono Trigger.
>>732776857yosho will defeat the spikeman
>>732780127Final Fantasy X. Yu Yevon has lost all conscious sense and just keeps mindlessly repeating his last actions which end up creating Sin over and over.
>>732776857in the context and perspective of their world/society, yes.in a grander context and/or the perspective of lavos, no.
