[inhales deeply] the phrase "biblically accurate angels" is a misnomer because the depictions of angels as divinely beautiful humans with feathered wings AND the depictions of them as eldritch abominations covered in eyes are both correct, they simply describe angels from different levels of the hierarchy, in this essay i will-

these characters were all created for different purposes entirely.
kirby is protagonist, obviously. dedede initially was a bowser expy that grew into friendly rival role but not necessarily protagonist material. bandana dee was a nobody that was just a throwaway opponent in a minigame in original super star. meta knight was meant to be enigmatic "dark counterpart" of kirby and nothing more.
but then, suddenly, shinya kumazaki comes and recontextualizes all of their interactions they had in previous games into them building up bonds. until it culminates in them becoming genuine friends.
dedede's slowburn warming up to kirby has a satisfying resolution. meta knight's brief team up in amazing mirror now is seen in entirely different light. bandana dee's encounter in revenge of the king hits different as well.
this wasn't planned. this wasn't intended. this feels kind of messy and maybe ill-fitted at the first glance. but for a series where main characters' design was literally unplanned placeholder and was kept in just because they really liked it... it only feels the most fitting.
silly thought: the only food magolor could have on halcandra were rocks
jack/slick as the demi-fiend. this is not a request, this is just an errant thought that came to mind.
