#kirby analysis

Damn, the new villain looks so cool. He looks like a mix of Dark matter swordsman and King dedede, maybe it’s dark- wait… who are this?!

Those looks like boxes and disks, so this things are either debris or machines akin to UFO’s so this guy might not be alone. Also that huge thing in the back

Is it a building? Is it a very large guy with black armor? Is it a giant robot?!

Like if galacta knight was the final boss it would probably just be a reskin of morpho knight/ meta knight? And those guys have been done wayyyy more than Elfilis ever will be. I've never played a game that fights galacta knight so maybe he has some craaazy gimmick that makes him different from all the other mask-wearing puff balls

I think meteonelfilis was quite different from fectos boss fight and the lore implications he has are really interesting and gives us more background to help theorize on why fecto Elfilis might have invaded in the first place

First off, I’m surprised this is even a practice, I’m not complaining. Im buying the switch 2 and playing this dlc first moment’s notice

Second off, we can see the heart shaped comet breaking and evil leaking out of it. So something is trying to control it and that caused to break (like the crystal shards) or it was a prison for what’s inside of it (like the Jamba heart)

Second the obvious stuff like it affecting the beast pack and the surroundings, first corrupting force in the series that actually affects the environment beyond the sky line which is also affected to look like… another dimension (we’ll come back to this

During the trailer we can see the dark thing falling and creating a island, this is actually seen in game and we can give a name to the non-Jamba heart, “Fallen-Star volcano” which seems to still have star pieces covering it

Now to the new characters, thanks to @das-a-kirby-blog and @what-is-love-babey-dont-hurt-me for pointing out that this creatures resemble galacta’s mask (so does the coins affected by the stars) however despite this I’m not sure we’ll see galacta himself yet, BUT seeing how the little creature was inside of a crystal prison (that resembles the crystals inside of Another Dimension) and the big guy was actually wearing a armor. We might be in front of the thing that sealed galacta knight and not galacta knight himself

And lastly, this crystals look very similar to the ones in “another dimension” during Magolor’s chase, and seeing how this game already takes the star shaped portals from RTDL and connects them to Fecto Elfilis then the crystals may be connected to the new antagonist which may also be a ancient threat like Elfilis

The core of Magolor's character is that he is a nobody who pretended to be someone y'know? Even when it was implied he was from Halcandra, you got this image of a little runt living in a hellscape dotted with vestiges of a great past, and one that he lied and stole his way into, ultimately in order to get his hands on the symbol of ownership over it right?

But if he's from Halcandra, to a lot of people and probably the writers, that would imply that there IS something special and deserved of his hoarding of the Ancient's glory. In fandom I often see a character being implied to be RELATED to the Ancients meaning they *ARE* an Ancient. They ARE an important old fart with a lot of history and knowledge, but I have personally never seen it that way.

I LOVE history. I LOVE HISTORY AND ANTHROPOLOGY SO MUCH, and I love thinking about history, mythology, and people as symbiotic living things and concepts, so to me, INSTANTLY the most intriguing route is for the Ancients to be a myth and whoever is left to Just Be A Guy. Maybe they can trace direct heritage, but more than anything they are a person living in the shadow of something, there is nothing but the shadow, and the shadow is that Legacy of The Ancients. Whether it be Hyness ranting and raving about a magic and religion he fundamentally misunderstands, or Magolor claiming an artifact that may've ironically been what brought his home to such ruin.
