Any little bit helps. Thanks.

Earthbound: Child fighting aliens. Mother 3: Child fighting fat dictator

I can't get over how unbelievablely cool Giygas was animated in this

[cluckstein]

I think the saddest part is Porky expected Ness to follow him into the future to stop him, but Ness probably never showed up.

From "that one kid" to "literally hitler."
Jesus Chirst, man.

[vontar]

I just remembered something sad, pokey traveled through time just to ‘win’ against ness in the most cowardly way, by outliving ness which in pokeys mind was his way of winning. Kind of depressing to think ness is most likely dead.

1:27 is a reference to that one time Itoi mentioned that Porky would still be alive in his Absolutely Safe Capsule, even after the Sun goes supernova.

Seeing Claus getting turned into a robot like that...makes me uneasy and increases my hatred for porky.

4 years later edit: I don't ACTUALLY hate porky. I just dislike him as you should as a villain. As a character his story is tragic and unfair. He deserves everything that comes his way in my opinion. He chose his path willingly and stuck too it even after many losses. He never learned anything except ways to get what he was wants and how to manipulate people. Just an unfortunate series of events happened to him and now he's uh...stuck in a giant pod forever...oh well

1:27 Just noticed the "Kill the Pig! Slit Her throat! Bash her in!" from Lord of the Flies right here, automatically making this even more disturbing than it already is for me.

Giygas: Nintendo's most depressing villains ever.
Porky Minch: Nintendo's biggest monsters villains.

The amount of symbolism behind the Porky Statue walk is amazing.

[DS-Peep]

He went from a bratty little kid to an immortal man-child with an over-inflated ego and/or god complex.

1:13 His name was Claus? That almost sounds like a person's name! But it's my robot now...Not even a fragment of life remains inside it

Still one of the best earthbound animations.

There's a lot of tiny secret messages in this video.
The first one is at about 0:37, right in the transition. This says "YOU CANNOT GRASP THE TRUE FORM OF GIYGAS' ATTACK"
In the mess of words after that, there are messages like "it hurts" "i feel good" "BE MY FRIEND, NESS", and "IT'S SO SAD", among other gibberish.
At 0:45, during the flash to grayscale, it says "Paula's prayer was absorbed into the darkness."
At 0:51, the text "Do you want to scream for help here in the dark?!" flashes across the bottom of the screen.
At 0:55, a whole lot of text pops up, surrounding Porky. This includes:
"I've gone through time and space so many times I haven't aged like a normal person."
"Who knows, I might be 1000 years old, or even 10, 000 years old."
"But despite that, I'm still the same kid at heart!"
"Is that funny?" "It is, isn't it?" "Does it make you laugh?"
And finally, "Are you laughing at me?!" before Porky springs to life, finally ending this wall of text at 0:57. That was *two seconds.*
The next one is at 1:12, with the infamous quote "...It's name was Claus? That almost sounds like a person's name! But now it's my robot. Not a fragment of life remains in it now..."
Though not a message, Giygas' "face" can be seen briefly as the two presses smash together at 1:13.

TL;DR Porky is hella messed up, considering almost all of these are quotes from him.

Earthbound: rated E for everyone
Also earthbound: has cults, references to satanism (i think), introduces pokey, who has one if the darkest stories and fates in gaming history, has giygas.

To me, Porky is the best kind of villain. He's so hate-able, he gives you that feeling of "Oh, you just missed me, you'll see me next time, not!" And never really showing up until the very end, however you know he's responsible for everything. So heartless but, he's also so human. If things had gone differently for him, just a bit differently, maybe he wouldn't see the world the way he does, filled with just people he can hate next. Where as Ness, most people are just, friends waiting to be made. Porkey's was an unfortunate case, and it happens. He one of the realest villains of all time, really.

[extremenonce]

This game took the piss out of itself to the point where the whole silent protaginist malarky becomes serious. Earthbound is really original in those aspects.

[solidskullz]

Damn this kid’s life was completely taken from him

[Destro]

I can't begin to describe how angry it made me when Porky's statue stepped on Hinawa's grave...

[SigmaExcel]

“Ness, let's be friends again. Please answer me. I promise to be good“...

This is very sad because he was serious about that what he said. but because of Ness' quiet behavior he thought Ness doesnt forgive him and the mani mani statue finally controlled his mind...
(you can also see that in Mother 2. Pokey said after Ness doesnt respond to him: “I guess thats a no, huh?“)
