Like a lot of people, I was "WTF!?" when R.O.B. was confirmed for Brawl. Then I played Subspace Emissary and I'm a sucker for the tragic tale of the Ancient Minister and the ROBs. You live in peace and devote your knowledge to the planet only to be used by someone else to destroy it while killing off your own colleagues. Doesn't that suck? Yet we've done this to other people before. Could a minister become an arsonist? And how does he feel sacrificing his people under the order of a higher power? What kind of god would DO that?
"You hear stories about angels that come and save certain people they're beautiful stories. But what about the mother whose kid gets taken away and never comes back? What were the angels smoking when that happened? What do you say? That their kid wasn't worthy? That it's all for the best? Or God has a plan? So these questions, of course, I was putting towards every deity I could find."
Time to hold the chinchilla before I'm consumed by depression and negativity.
