Talk:Mr Dark: Difference between revisions

Line 118:

:::::Are you saying that the picture of 'Mr Dark' is possibly an early artwork of him before the game stopped being a sequel? Because I would believe that; In fact, it is very notable that the developers created the Magician based on the scrapped artwork of Mr Dark. Tons of materials from the website look more based on the prequel than the final game itself. By the way, I checked if it was a mistake (just like the Polokus/Jano alter-ego issues) and it isn't, in every language, even french, it says that the guy on the artwork is Mr Dark from Rayman 1. I want some opinions here: can we change "'''The mysterious villain of Rayman Origins'''" to "'''Early artwork of Mr Dark, subsequently used to redesign the Magician'''".?--[[User:Sergiomonty|Sergiomonty]] 03:52, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

::::::It's not necessarily from when the game was a prequel – it could could still be from the sequel era. Maybe they originally planned to have this 'Mr Dark' appear and taunt Rayman throughout the game, only to be unmasked as the Magician at the end, which is where the 'I always wanted to be like Mr Dark' dialogue would occur. Referring to him as 'Mr Dark' on the site could have been part of a deception, like the above example of the original Metroid manual referring to Samus as a male. If I'm right, they may have scrapped this because they didn't want the storyline to be too confusing or too dependent on knowledge of the other games, or they may not have wanted to disappoint players by leading them to believe Mr Dark was in the game, only to reveal at the last minute that it wasn't him. The storyline that survives into the game itself is much more straightforward: the Magician turns bad, with no confusing disguises involved. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 13:48, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
