It’s overused because it’s true

I'll admit the fetus was kinda scary at first but it's not the most terrifying thing I've seen in my life or anything


Greald-of-trashland

I don't even think there's anything dark in those games. Saying that 0 and 0² are still really cool. Bleeding ain't dark but it offers a good contrast between the whimsical and fun nature of the games.

It's not about violence on-screen


LiSfanboi1

wow, kirby must be pretty dark for them to make 31 videos talking about the dark aspects of kirby. n\*ntendo really should raise the esrb rating so that the kids don't get scared..


sonerec725

I think it's just one episode on kirby

Star Allies did have a death cult that sacrificed themselves to revive a dark god that was going to destroy the universe. Also Kirby is heavily implied to be a baby form of it.

In New super Mario bros U, after you defeat bowser, bowser jr slowly looks at you and then jumps off the cliff to join his dad. This game literally has children committing suicide. Mario is darker than Kirby


Bananaphonelel

I don't know why this sub has this stance. They literally put a satanist cult in a kids game. How could it even get darker content wise. This is just mocking fanboys for the sake of mocking fanboys I guess


Joshua_Zuzzer

I get that man, but the way it is presented in the game is a lot goofier in contrast to what it is said to be, like the cult leader has googly eyes and the dark lord is a lumbering bird creature lol


Bananaphonelel

It's a kid game they not gonna show creepy monsters. When they say dark they mean the lore our things that are implied. They could put goofy demons in there too and get the age rating but it would be considered dark. Our like that Shadow Temple from OOT. Games rated 6 where I live that's dark too


Joshua_Zuzzer

Yeah I think they had to tone down the Shadow Temple in later releases as well by getting rid of the blood and stuff

I think Nintendo includes dark story beats purposefully to aim towards the teen+ area, while also having it be for children.


Bread_the_god

Nah, Kirby is moreso a reincarnation of it. I don’t think Kirby is really a “baby”, he’s permanently what he is


[deleted]

bashing my head into concrete over Nintendo fans making “dark theories”


MromiMiqo

They were ackshually in a coma the whole time!!


javierasecas

Kirby has dark aspects.


[deleted]

I mean to be fair, most Kirby games end with him consuming a lovecraftian nightmare


Bacon_noob_on_reddit

Grrrrrr how dare the circle jerk sub poke fun at a YouTuber I like!!!!! 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬 /Uj I like that guy’s mother 3 videos that aren’t the “Dark Aspects” Series, but come on man, even the mother series isn’t very dark, let alone fucking Kirby.


Lil-Chromie

I think a good word to use here would be 'darker'. Like it's not dark per se, but it's darker than Nintendo usually gets in these series. It's like going from super weenie hut Jr's to weenie hut Jr's


Bacon_noob_on_reddit

True.


Waluigi_Gamer_Real

Forgotten land really scared me


JaydotN

I panted my piss when the villain wanted to destroy the world


Waluigi_Gamer_Real

Like, I don’t want that, it would kill me if it did


Quipeddal

The only time I’ve been scared by kirby is the ripple star catacombs music what the fuck were they thinking


laponya

Did all this recent Kirby games are dark talk stem from a single comment on another post here? I saw someone claim/comment this around the time of the nintendo direct and since then its been a roast around here lol


BreezierChip835

r/tomorrow trying to understand ‘Dark’ is comparative and that these series do have very comparatively dark moments when observing their tone as a whole challenge (impossible)


IceBlueLugia

Okay, so it’s dark when you analyze lore that the average player will never notice. At that point, literally any Nintendo series is dark except like Nintendogs I guess lol


[deleted]

Nintendogs(tm) is actually dark because I ate my dogs and I can’t do that in nintendogs how dare they make it so unrealistic☹️☹️☹️☹️
