Talk:Raymesis: Difference between revisions
RayGamer99 (talk | contribs) Created page with "== Alignment confusion == For a little while now, I’ve had a debate with myself about whether or not Raymesis is a good guy or a bad guy. While a good chunk of the fanbase, at least on the fanart and fanfic side, has gone with the latter alignment, I still can’t be sure if that lines up with the in-game lore. I’ve had this same mental debate over Dr. Farayday, but on a lesser scale. In ''Rayman Origins'', the Bubble Dreamer refers to him as “..." |

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] refers to him as “[[Rayman]]’s evil clone”, a trait which is also carried into his reveal for ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]'': “[[Rayman]]’s evil clone is here to rock out!” However, it is possible that the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] is simply mistaking him for [[Bad Rayman]], who, aside from the obvious design difference, looks very similar to Raymesis. In addition, his descriptions from ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' onward never call him an evil clone, instead claiming that he just wants to tarnish [[Rayman]]’s reputation for some reason or other. | In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] refers to him as “[[Rayman]]’s evil clone”, a trait which is also carried into his reveal for ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]'': “[[Rayman]]’s evil clone is here to rock out!” However, it is possible that the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] is simply mistaking him for [[Bad Rayman]], who, aside from the obvious design difference, looks very similar to Raymesis.

As for my input on this, I never saw Raymesis as a bad guy; rather, I see him more as an anti-hero and non-villainous rival to [[Rayman]] (and the leader of [[Glombrox|his]] [[The First King|own]] [[Selena|squad]], but that’s a topic for another day) — like the Shadow to [[Rayman]]’s Sonic, or the Vegeta to [[Rayman]]’s Goku. But what are you guys’ thoughts? Do you think Raymesis (and Dr. Farayday) is a bad guy, or a good guy? If the former, should we change his alignment on the wiki? I’d like to hear you guys’ input on this! -[[User:Raygamer99|RayGamer99]] | As for my input on this, I never saw Raymesis as a bad guy; rather, I see him more as an anti-hero and non-villainous rival to [[Rayman]] (and the leader of [[Glombrox|his]] [[The First King|own]] [[Selena|squad]], but that’s a topic for another day) — like the Shadow to [[Rayman]]’s Sonic, or the Vegeta to [[Rayman]]’s Goku.

(Really quick note before I leave: one thing I wanted to bring light to is that just because a character is playable does not make them a good guy; while the [[Rayman (series)|Rayman series]] does not give any examples of this, there are numerous video games that do (''Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story'' and ''Crash Bandicoot 4'' came to mind for me. Okay, bye!) -[[User:Raygamer99|RayGamer99]] | |||
