Y'know, I remember back then I was like, "Man, maybe Sakurai didn't want to add in the Villager as people might be misunderstood about the series. People might get the worng impression of the Villager as he comes from a peaceful and innocent game, versus Smash which is a fighting game."
And now look at all the memes around the Villager.
If Sakurai was thinking something along those lines during Brawl's development, well, I can't say he was wrong then.
Poor Villy (Villy? Is that a good nickname? Or maybe Willy?
Ahh little Willy, Willy~ Cute. Or Vil? Ville? idk). He was so innocent. Then again, AC isn't as innocent as some people might think it is. With all the theories going on, it's actually kinda disturbing. Sooo, actually, I think his murderous persona is quite fitting. I'm starting to like it.
