1. Sakurai already confirmed making a decision when it somes to character paths when Petey Pirahna was revealed as a boss
ZOMG DARTH VADER CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!
Hmm it worked for me
And in Revenge of Meta Knight, he tried to conquer Dream Land and force its citizens into lives of discipline and hard work, just because he was sick of the lazy, slothful lifestyle they were happy with. And when his ship was damaged beyond repair and his plan unsalvagable, he still insisted that Kirby engage him in a duel to the death over the matter of his personal honor. And when he was defeated, he simply tried to murder Kirby out of spite as he tried to escape the burning wreckage of the Halberd before it crashed.You want examples of Meta's goodness? Go play Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. MK tries to save the world from and evil force. Also, we meet Dark Meta Knight, who is evil and less honorable. Meta even loans Kirby his sword (called Master in the game) to defeat Dark Mind, and then you can use it once you beat the game!! Also, play Kirby Squeak Squad. Meta steals a treasure chest, rebuilds the Halberd, and fights Kirby....only for ity to later be revealed that he was trying to prevent Kirby from opening the chest, in which was imprisoned Dark Nebula (lots a "Dark ---" villains in Kirby!!). He's saved the world just as many times as Kirby has!! Since Sakurai is Meta Knight's creator, he will place MK in the same role he's always played; a myterious, shadowy warrior who is always fighting for goodness, even if its not crystal clear that he is. The End
But everything you say is taken from the context of the English version of KSS's Revenge of Meta Knight. In the JP version, there was never a thing of him wanting to explicitly kill Kirby, or that he wanted to so much rule Dream Land with an iron fist, militaristic rule, as what the English translation seemed to hint at. Everything that MK does is predominantly for an altruistic cause, even if the way he tries to attain it is not necessarily the most "kosher" way of doing it.
where do you hear Lucas voise in the video?
Just a brief grunt when he swings the wooden stick.
Well, I don't have any translation other than the English one, so I can't comment too specifically on that. But even if you assume that the implication of a lust for power is false (I never really thought of him that way anyway), the basic message of "conquer Dream Land to bring order and discipline" is, I assume, valid. And as for militaristic rule, it's pretty much implied. If he was just going to stand on a podium, say "Discipline is good, you should all be less lazy", and then be on his merry way, he wouldn't have been using a warship. The people of Dream Land like their relaxed lifestyle. Tyranny is going to happen. He just doesn't care, because he thinks it's the righteous thing to do and is intolerant to opposing belief systems. That isn't strictly evil, but it's not exactly what I'd call good either.
Obviously Meta Knight cares enough about Dream Land that he doesn't want to see it destroyed. He's heroic in that sense. But it's important not to forget about the side of him shown in Revenge of Meta Knight.
His intentions are altruistic, but he is surrounded by people who don't share his code of honor and morality, and he doesn't have much respect for that difference in opinion. He doesn't hate them in a way that he wants to see them dead or anything of the sort, but his self-righteousness is a significant part of his character. You have to look at both his intentions and his actions, and look at him from the perspective of those around him.
I really don't know whats so hard to imagining the ability to choose your team members that you have rescued :O
Bear in mind that it's not necessarily just Ice Climbers and Meta Knight. As the game goes on, the teams will get bigger and eventually merge together. For all we know, that might be a clip from late in the game with half of the cast in one big group, and those just happened to be the characters that the player chose.
