E Gadd is also responsible for the entirety of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, because he built the time machine that brought the Shroobs back to the present day in that game. He is obsessed with tampering with forces that should be beyond human control, which does make him villainous in my opinion. I've only played Luigi's Mansion 3, but a lot of his dialogue in that game shows complete disregard for anything but his own research and self-preservation; its comical at first, but gets to be less so the longer it goes on.

[panosmosproductions]

If this were Greek mythology, well Hades would be angry at E Gadd. Just thought I’d throw it out there.

[Oceane]

Here's my interpretation, which is much more nuanced and interesting. E. Gadd isn't a bad guy. But he isn't a good guy either. He's morally grey. He doesn't care about good or bad, he only cares about his research and experiments.

My theory for Luigi's Mansion 1 is that King Boo isn't the one who trapped Mario. It's hard to say, but it seems that he was stuck under the trap door just like all the other Boos until Luigi freed them. It's his first appearance of the game after all.

But if that's the case, he couldn't have trapped Mario inside the painting. So I think that E. Gadd is actually the one who trapped Mario in the painting, using his machine.

Maybe Mario is the one who trapped the Boos under the trap door a long time ago, which is why King Boo hates him. And Mario knew it was wrong to trap the portrait ghosts in paintings, so he freed them all. But he eventually got pushed into the machine by E. Gadd as they clashed.

And when you think about it, E. Gadd was inside the mansion when we first meet him. What was he doing there ? Hiding Mario's painting deep within the mansion, only for King Boo to find it later on and jump on the opportunity ?

As for Luigi, well E. Gadd manipulates him, lies to him about the nature of the portrait ghosts and about who trapped Mario in the painting, and the rest is history. But he isn't fully bad since King Boo is bad too, and he helps Luigi defeat him with his inventions.

As for Sunshine, once again he doesn't care for good or bad, only his experiments. He gave the brush to Junior and F.L.U.D.D. to the Piantas, creating a problem and its solution, to fulfill his curiosity and see how things would turn out.

But also E. Gadd fully helps in Mario and Luigi Partners in Time. He does nothing bad here. But he doesn't do it out of the goodness of his heart. He does it for survival. Heck, it's technically his fault that the Shroobs might have invaded the present. He didn't care about the risks, only about his creation. But he still helps save the world.

Basically E. Gadd isn't purely evil. He's on the side that allows him to experiment as he wishes. If he needs to help save the world, he will. But if his next experiment is morally questionable, he won't care either. And I think that this interpretation is much more interesting than him just being evil.

I thought Professor E. Gadd redeemed himself in the first game... I hope the movie adaption - if in production - makes him better... and cast Alex Hirsch as King Boo

[thepichumaster]

Well this question depends on how you look at it if you look at it from Luigi’s side yes King boo is villain but if you look at it from King boo’s side then yea he has his reasons

[panosmosproductions]

There’s one ghost that resisted being brainwashed by King Boo. I’m of course talking about polter-pup.

[zebramussels]

11:34 "Poor Luigi is constantly sucked in to be the accomplice." I see what you did there, lol.

[jbjjbj]

I can't vision E Gadd as a villain in 2nd and 3rd but the 1st one he clearly could be because boss ghost is just minding their own business and got sucked up and prisoned in portraits all thanks to him and took their after lives away. Or he got freaked out and didn't calm down and think before act.

[jwjanimations]

I never actually thought of it like that great video

[megaman]

It's funny, if King Boo stopped kidnapping Mario, Luigi would have 0 stakes in this beef between King Boo and E Gadd

[X-Fighter]

Hey Landon as you were setting the scene the clouds started setting the scene and it started raining.

[christophermartinez]

I always knew that, that Stupid Green Guy and that Melon Head were the villians.

[DaGhostToastRoast]

I think Luigi’s mansion 2 is bit more nuanced since the ghosts aren’t really good guys when not under the control of the dark moon. They are hostile and not even nice to each other at times (best example the red ghost putting the green in his mouth). And they almost destroy the universe at the end of the game. Now it’s possible king boo maybe is controlling them yes but at the same time we see them acting this way after Luigi defeats King boo too. Also to Egads defense in that game he does express the concern about the ghosts leaving evershade valley and attacking people. Like it’s clearly best that they are under the dark moons influence.

One side thing too I find interesting is the ghost in LM3 who is nice to Luigi you actually can spare. There are ghosts in the OG as well you can spare which is interesting. Maybe this is more of a defense for Luigi. Most of the ghosts you have to capture because they are holding keys from Luigi keeping him from being able to move forward. The first game literally could have ended fast if he was just given access to the final room from the beginning. Just a thought.

youtube is improving; i don't see any bots in the comments

Professor E Gadd isn't the villain of the Luigi's Mansion series, King Boo is the real villain of the series, and don't even bring Luigi into this.

[chrisjohnson]

Better get that tingle costume ready. No switch 2. Its a switch mario oled bundle😂

[DDboi-]

The dark moon doesn’t mind control ghosts it makes them passive

[nmpyekr]

egag is the villain but Luigi is caught up, also i hope if there is a 4th game, they show the more evil of him and meaby all of the bosses return and new one's to got egag

[gamingdinosaur]

I pretty sure that E Gadd sore the dark moon and then were non hostile ghosts and go's on to study them in thier home environment which is what I heard on luigi's mansion 2 dark moon
