Moral Event Horizon/Video Games: Difference between revisions

Line 164:

** From ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'': {{spoiler|Darkrai has a few opportunities, the earliest being orchestrating the planet's paralysis, making [[Crapsack World|the future a frozen, endless night, with insane Pokemon and which is ruled by Primal Dialga]], and the one way to stop the paralysis would cause all life from the future to disappear.}}

** While he's far from qualifying as a [[Complete Monster]], Maxie was just shy of crossing this in ''Pokémon Emerald'' whenever he attacks the Mossdeep Space Station with the intention of making off with a bunch of rocket fuel and dumping it all in Mt. Chimney. Given that Mt. Chimney is in close proximity to Lavaridge and Fallarbor Towns as well as several routes filled with trainers, countless innocent people would have died just because Maxie decided to throw a temper tantrum after his plans were shot to hell.

** Let's not forget Cyrus from Gen IV, whose plan was literally to control the powers of time/space and use them to ''wipe out the entire universe and all life in it'' so that he could then become a deity and recreate reality as he saw fit, which would be a reality without spirit, meaning all living creatures would now exist with no emotions, free thought, or free will. Granted he believed this to be in humanity's best interest, but it's still a sick and horrifying goal that he wanted to force on others. The lengths he took in the name of this goal were not pretty either, especially his plan with the Galactic Bomb and the torture of the three lake Pokemon in order to create the Red Chain.

*** [[Mad Scientist]] Charon, who was in charge of making the Red Chain, shares in that last one. And he had his own terrible plan to use Heatran's destructive powers to terrorize entire civilizations in order to extort money from them that thankfully never took off thanks to the player character's interference. {{spoiler|His true crossing might be in backstory details, since his journals suggest that he had discovered and befriended Rotom when he was a child, but when he grew older, more greedy and cynical, he used Rotom for little more than research and experiments, ultimately discarding it once he was done. In the present day, Charon thinks of nothing but himself and his own gaining of money, power, and status.}}

* Speaking of Super Hero Aurum, let's not let ''him'' off the hook, shall we? {{spoiler|He kills demons and Overlords just for who they are, his latest being the [[Gentle Giant]] in charge of [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice|Evil Academy]], taking over as the butler for said Overlord's son, messing up his perception of the human world, and all of that just so he can have a new Overlord to add to his record. Just to be certain Mao doesn't relapse, he sets an [[Obvious Trap]] for the princess he's escorting, just to make certain her "hero" bodyguard (also his number one fan) triggers it and dies instead to drive home that [[Humans Are Bastards]] and the good ones wind up dead. Let me repeat myself - he messes up one kid and gets another killed just for the prospect of remaining the Super Hero, to stroke his own ego. I think this quote sums up everything...}}

{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Raspberyl''': What kind of nerves do you have?! It's beyond [[Card-Carrying Villain|honor student]] level.}}}}
