Then couldn\\\'t I claim that Antasma just wanted to take over the world because he wanted to create a home for his kind and put it under alternate character interpretation under the logic that said interpretation is not readily visible to anyone else but me? Or how about he just wanted to throw an elaborate surprise party for everyone and was about to spring it until Bowser betrayed him? Or how about he and his kind harbored an ancient grudge against the Pi\\\'illos so after he obtained power he decided to launch a war of extermination against them?

At the very least it should go under alternate character interpretation if it\\\'s an interpretation that\\\'s popular enough to be held by many people as opposed to just because one or two people see it.
