Kid Icarus Uprising

Was there any arc that wasn't good? But yeah, Chaos kin was the best.

No although I found the ending one to be rather weak but that's mostly because I hate Hades Insides.

I adore the fact that the vocal cast of Final Fantasy XIII are back for this - in similar roles.

Big Good Lightning/Palutena (Light is the Big Good essentially of the sequel), supported by brash, not quite all there guy who lives for Big Damn Heroes moments Snow/Pyhrron against Big Bad Barthandelus/Hades. Brilliant!

Well, excepting the part where Pyrrhon is actually evil.

I sorta wonder if he's really just desperate for respect, though.

Pyrrhon doesn't seem evil. He's egotistical more than anything.

He tried to destroy the other gods and take over the world with the Aurum. That's pretty evil to me.

Did he outright try and destroy them? I thought he just opposed them because they tried to stop him. Sorry, it's been a while since I played the game.

Uh...

Well, then what does he want with the Aurum? Just to sit in space all day and night?

He wants to take over the world but I never got the impression he'd just kill him all. Yeah he's an asshole and wants to rule the world but he doesn't seem the type to want to kill everyone. I actually think that part of him could have been the Aurum brain starting to dominate his consciousness.

He summoned the planet-eating alien race to Earth in order to hijack their brain and take command of them. Whatever his plans were after that, I'm pretty sure he can be safely classified as "evil".

I guess. I don't really care either way since I never really thought about his level of evilness.

Well, we don't know if he summoned them.

I consider it to be implied. He's clearly done tons of research on them, and has plans regarding them.

I thought Hades and Viridi did by accident. Pyrrhon just figured out who they were first and took advantage of them.

I don't know. There's a bit of evidence (namely in the way he says things) that would suggest that he summoned them intentionally.

Example?

Knowing everything about them as soon as they show up, despite the gods not even knowing what they are?

Well, we don't really know what's in the Book of Divine Prophecy, or Divinipedia.

That and the way he murmured the location of the prophecy regarding the Aurum in the Book of Divine Prophecies and how Viridi said that she never heard of/read that section.

Not bothering to remember a chapter in such a book sounds in-character for Viridi, actually.

Not bothering to read the book period sounds in character for all three of the other Gods. Seriously why should they care? For all we know Pyrrhon just really liked books or prophecy type stuff. Apollo was the Greek God of prophecy after all.

Palutena would probably have read it, though for all we know it might be too big for her to memorize all of it.

Yeah, Pyrrhon came across to me as being the type to go on long Wiki Walks laughing at silly articles and reading but not really getting a lot of what he reads.

I bet they all read parts of it but Pyrrhon might have memorized it by virtue of prophecy being his domain. This is obviously assuming he has the same roles as Apollo outside of being the sun god.

Apollo wasn't the sun god, Helios was. Apollo was the god of light.
