You must not be a big Metroid fan. Ridley is the only reoccuring villain in the game. Also he's the one creditted for killing Samus's parents as well as being the space pirate leader.
Actually no, I'm quite an avid fan of it. I did choose a poor word for describing Ridley, but the point was this, he isn't the main villain. Ridley, while being a significant villain, isn't the biggest problem of any Metroid game. There is always something else going on that supercedes him. In the good old days it was mother brain, and most recently Prime. Ridley does seemingly create the bad situations in one way or another, but he ironically is always in the back seat of every Metroid game (well in the ones he appears in).
It all depends on your view of logic. You can have a very physical view based soley on facts or a abstract view based on percentiles, patterns, and human rationalized thinking.
Or you can have a normal view which is accepting to both. Most people don't think all one way or the other, in this case most people use both.
You can discredit the later though because that would be disrespect to an established person of the renaisance era.
What the hell are you referring there? How does that have anything to do with this argument? We are talking about whether or not Sakurai purposely put Bowser or Ridley in the clouds.
This thread was written very well with a polite tone to it. I liked the pictures, and how the three clouds were circles and pointed out.
I like how that was all done before in which case the OP just simply reworded it. I also like how he didn't do that picture and is only presenting us with a "what if" that was presented to the community months ago.
Bowser is the only character in the clouds that would be clear enough to draw any conclusions on, and even then it looks an awful lot like a T-rex to me. Ridley is definitely not clear and Ganon is definitely the most blurry. The thing is if they were really going to do that and were going for the effect it would be a bit more obvious. If it wasn't for that specific freeze frame, there wouldn't be anyone who actually noticed the faces in the cloud in the first place.
I'm surprised that nobody has argued that "well maybe Sakurai put that freezeframe so we COULD see it!" but even that is silly given that the freeze frame is in a spot after the clouds have all formed, so it's just a logical place to take a shot where everything is in the frame.
Now for the big guns:
Actually, after doing that it becomes pretty obvious that it's not bowser. I tried, I really tried, to follow the shapes of the clouds and make them form bowser as much as possible. There are A LOT of things wrong with the cloud interpretation. His horn is not where it should be. Apparently his cloud form has no hair. His mouth looks ********, and etc.
Ridley came out better than I thought; however it looks more like a mix between Ridley and the main villain of the Nightmare Before Christmas than Ridley.
All that said, the T-rex came out the best, which I think is funny.
In closing of this post, I'd like to state out that if you tried you could find several other characters in those clouds that have no relevance to the story whatsoever. Simply put, it's CLOUDS. They are complex shapes with a lot of value, and if you try to find something in them you will. In this case people found what they were wanting to.
just kidding, but in all seriousness I don't see ganondorf that much and bowser is easily the most recognizable
