Porky Propaganda

(Earthbound and heavy MOTHER 3 spoilers)

Of those who know Porky Minch, most likely have a very, very low opinion of him. The taunting, irritating, cowardly little brat who uses people and entire worlds as his playthings.

I am here to tell you, that you're completely right! And THAT'S why I love him so much. Any redeeming qualities he had (admittedly few, but they were there) were lost the moment he fell under Giygas's control. He's just such a neat character. This whiny little next-door-neighbor abruptly becomes the most evil, detestable person in the entire history of the universe. He literally outdoes his master, who became the actual incarnation of evil itself??? And Porky's WORSE?????

He becomes a time-travelling, immortal conqueror, who's so bored and spiteful with the whole pitiful universe that his only goal is to completely end it. He causes immense tragedy, murder, crimes against life and nature, and comes this close to wiping out the entirety of existence. And even though he doesn't totally succeed, he's so twisted that he thinks spending an eternity isolated from "everyone who doesn't like him" is winning.

Now, if I was reading this, I'd be very annoyed at the kind of brush I'm painting Porky with. So trust me: there's much, much more to Porky Minch. When you ask me how to describe him, I don't leap to "evil" or "annoying" first, even though he is unrivalled in both those things.

Porky Minch is pitiful. He's this meek, lonely kid who practically nobody likes: his parents are abusive, he has no friends, everybody finds him irritating. Aside from his brother, there's only one person that cares about him. His closest, bestest, only friend(?), his next-door-neighbor Ness. We know their relationship is rocky; Ness can't decide for himself if they're really friends when he's asked. But when we enter a world made from his mind, we can meet Porky, how Ness see's him: sad, lonely, insecure, and begging to be friends again. Even when there's no turnaround in sight for Porky, even now Ness wants him to be good.

And Porky's even more attached. No matter how many times he taunted him, even tried to kill him, Porky is desperate, obsessed with his best friend. Even at the end of the universe, thousands or tens of thousands of years later, when there has been no Ness for a very long while, Porky keeps his best friend's old yo-yo in a shrine. He has a whole theater dedicated to Ness's adventure. A literal memory lane of Earthbound mementos. Porky is stuck in his childhood in many ways, and his obsession with Ness is one of the hugest parts of that.

Now, right now Porky is losing, and I doubt there's enough people who care about him like I do to turn that around. But it doesn't really matter. He won't ever be beaten. In 5.5 billion years, when all you braindead morons are dead, he'll just make his own poll, and there'll be nobody in the whole wide world left to vote against Master Porky Minch!

Spankety spankety spankety! Blehhh! Blehhhhh!
