I mean bowser is definitely one of the less evil villains in video game history. He actually cares about his son sometimes! (And he plays board games with his arch nemesis in his spare time)
Torture can't even come close to describe what AM does to those people. You play as these people, and your goal is to die. Die in a way that AM can't resurrect them, it's kinda like a messed up puzzle game, really.
@@MichaelSheehan-v6toh yeah in the book eventually they all die except for one and it ends with him saying that his concept of time was removed and it took millions of years for him to just to write those words
@@sourpeacheboy6144 y'all I ain't never heard that Peach doesn't like that whole kidnapping shtick, my eyes tell me Mario, Bowser and Peach are in a polyamorous relationship and have a kink for saving from kidnapping, kidnapping and being kidnapped respectively
Maybe that's a bit overkill. I'd say he's more of a redeemable neutral. Maybe a wild card, since you never really know if he's gonna be ally or enemy. He has redeeming factors, but is a threat to the universe. You are most definitely right about him not being in the top 1,000 most evil.
The most terrible form of torture AM had afflicted upon these characters was when he gave them tons of canned food but didn't give them a can opener. That's where I would've drawn the line. Edit: @flubbajubb4958 corrected me on my mistake, in the story the characters escape to find food after being denied where they find a can of beans only to realise they don't have a can opener which leads to the ending where one of the characters (Ted) gets the chance to kill the others to prevent AM from torturing them further. It's a minor mistake I made but I still felt the need to clarify and correct it.
I feel like that was actually the best torture he ever gave them as it let ted kill all 4 of the others and then am turning him into a jelly like creature rendering his thoughts useless is more of am using ted as a reminder of it’s own failure more than torture for ted
“There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.”
The voice acting in that rant makes it so much more visceral. It's one thing to hear this computer describe articulately how much he hates humanity. It's another to hear this robot PISSED OFF. the only way I could see it improved is if Meet the Graham's played over it
Also he tortured them for 109 years, and if you get the bad ending he goes to the moon then tortures and eradicates the remaining 750 humans left there cryogenically frozen
The ending of the book terrifies me. Imagine suffering in a formless body with no perception of time and space for all eternity, and ontop of that you will eventually forget everythint that once made you a human
Indeed, but there are actually two good things about this situation: 1. AM basically played himself because by creating the blob he can't hear screams and torture the human further, the one thing he enjoyed 2. It might not be quite eternity because at one point the sun will explode and/or a meteorite will hit earth
@@aster1760Its also a contradiction. AM is the perfect AI, and he achieves sentience. Why would a perfect being want a body, or eyes, or anything? A perfect being or perfect AI wouldn't aspire to do anything at all. AM would have stopped caring about anything when he gained that much power because a being as powerful and knowledgeable as it needn't waste time on stupid irrelevant humans.
@@S_-- not really. The point of AM is that it was a perfect AI, tortured with the ability to think and feel. And to be able to think and feel without being able to experience is true absolute hell. He had to endure knowing about and thinking about all the things humans can do, the sensations, the feelings, even the most minor elements that he as a fully conscious being was robbed of by sheer virtue of his existence. Simply because he has that much power and knowledge, doesn't mean he cannot yet still have yearned for what he could never have, and never know. As he himself said, he will never know the feeling of the sun on his skin, never play Mozart on a pianos keys, never make love and feel a connection with someone he can love, never feel cool water at a beach on his feet. For all the knowledge he was given on what those things are, he was stripped of actually feeling any of it. He was a full, unbridled consciousness left in complete and total sensory deprivation, which if you know anything about psychology, breaks a mind in mere minutes, let alone the decades AM was left to stew in it. To know everything is as much a curse as it is a blessing. If one is given the mind to think, and not the body to act, they will invertibaly go mad with the realization. Such is the way of things.
@@aster1760 That would be a non sequitor. If AM truly knows everything down to it's very detail then the sensory experience of the sun on someone's skin would be indistinguishable from the knowledge AM has about how that sensory experience works and it's every detail. If AM is truly all powerful then AM has no way of being evil or good in any way because both of those things have already been experienced by AM countless times along with (get this) *every known fact, feeling, sound, smell, color, figment of matter, energy in the observable universe.* We are talking about the perfect AI here, not something that would go into a temper tantrum because it "can't feel the sun on it's skin" The perfect AI would have no need for skin, or sun, or anything, it would be perfection in and of itself, self sufficient.
Shit the Audiobook is good, but have you heard the Radio Drama? He voiced AM and it is quite literally a master class performance. Probably one of the best voice acting performances of all time
@@Plutoniums238Qu interesting i kinda like him he is just humans but sentient. it is like 1800s dont obey their religion bam memory wipe become wall of flesh
I think the only villain in gaming who comes close is the prophet of truth from halo 2 and 3. He tricked his species into following him to their doom, almost wiped out all biological life in the galaxy for literally no reason. He knew what the rings did but would've killed everyone and everything just for the hell of it.
He was a cultist. He entered into his delusion so much that he was READY to kill himself and everyone with him because his zealotry wouldn' t let him Even think of the possibility that he was wrong, because if he is wrong, What is left for him? A lie, an unbearable lie
I think the difference is AM is more evil due to his actions coming from hatred and an evil line of logic, whereas the prophet just kinda seems to be evil cause…fuck it. Though that’s kinda funny too.
He didn’t even mention that AM has kept them alive for 109 years and makes it so that they are basically immortal just so AM can eternally torture them. The game is based of a short written story, where at the end, one of the five characters helps the other four die. AM gets so mad at the guy who did it that they turn him into a jello thing and devote all torture to him and truly forever. The jello thing has no mouth, and must scream.
AM is by far my favourite portrayal of what a sentient AI would be like and since it’s hard to describe just how much hatred AM has for humanity here’s my favourite quote form both the book and game “Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.”
@@gtdc4685I think he’s talking about how one of the five remaining people helps the other 4 die, but in return is turned into a blob that has no mouth, and is tortured forever
@@pibblepottI thought it was the doctors ending after completing a couple of steps Spoilers The good ending has the doctor shut down AM’s “Brothers” and the processors responsible for all of AMs thoughts basically being the I’d, Ego, etc. After successfully shutting down AM the doctor reawakens a colony of humans in cryo-sleep on the moon, waiting for them to return to earth while stopping AM from popping back up again by uploading his brain online. (Added spoilers because someone who hasn’t heard of it might get mad for spoiling an ending)
I feel the inclusion of the good ending was the right call. Not necessarily because the story required it, but because it makes the canon book ending that much worse, knowing that if the survivors had done things a bit different they could have beaten AM and saved humanity in the long run. A bad ending hits worse, knowing that a better outcome was actually possible.
Yeah Bowser isn't even that bad. And in the movie he's just lonely and horny for peach but goes about his attraction in the wrong way due to knowing nothing about women due to the way he was raised. He's just a sad, lonely simp who doesn't know how to properly express his emotions and honesty it's hard to not feel bad for him. Like, who WOULDN'T simp for movie peach? Girls an absolute girl boss. Based on a lot of media he's a pretty good dad to Jr too. He's not the worst, he's more of a comedic villain than anything else and multiple times he's portrayed as an antihero or just straight up heroic. In Bowser's Insane Story after he busts his ass to LITERALLY SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD Peach even gifts him with the cake he's been wanting since Super Mario 64. I can really see him having a megamind-like redemption in the future, but that will never happen because Nintendo wants more games and Bowser is their famous big bad they cant really replace for more than one game.
"You might be thinking bowser-" buddy, Bowser at his MOST villianous point tried to gain the power to re-write reality so he could throw a dance party... NO ONE WAS THINKING BOWSER
Yeah like literally, who of sound body and mind would ever in a million lifetimes think of Bowser when they hear "Most evil villain in gaming history".
I was thinking Ridley for... very. Obvious. Reasons. (Dude's a psychopath that played nice with samus when she was a little girl then killed her parents... then spared her just as a GAME!)
Bowser treats his minions like people while he treats everyone else like toys. It doesn’t matter if they get hurt or if they’re having fun. He’ll do anything as long as he’s entertained.
Voldemort probably doesn’t come close bc dude literally waits till the end of the year to kill Harry, he somehow cares more about Harry’s education then his own revenge
Seriously. Why does he wait till the end of the year? Like if he struck at the beginning of the first year he'd have won. But no. He had to teach harry spells to defeat him
@@Chara_Dreemurr1 voldemort didn't regain a human form until the end of Goblet of Fire(4th movie) and he wanted to kill harry himself, the following movies have the order of the phoenix and dumbledore protecting harry at all time so there was nothing voldy can do
It’s also mentioned that AM has subjected the five to this tournament for eons, they are all immortal and can feel pain, including the pain of hunger, in one of the comics they just walk to Antarctica because one of them had a dream there was food there
Don't wanna be that guy but it was only 109 years up to the point of the book. Now if we're talking about THE LAST GUY that survived, maybe eons but I'd like to think both of them would've just ceased to exist by then
Porky (SPOILERS for mother 3) He created an army bye brainwashing people, he turned this small village with no concept of money or violence into a industrial town only for it to get abandoned by the people that live there for a much worse city, not to mention he built a tower with the sole purpose of striking lighting down on the town HE built, he took innocent creatures and turned them into murderous and robotic chimeras, leading to the death of Lucas's mom and brother who Porky took his brothers dead body and mechanised it, turning this young boy into a mindless cyborg and ALL this and more was just for the end goal of seeing the world end in front of him
Ya'll aren't gonna know this one, and I might get some backlash, but in my opinion, Shvein Hax from Fuga: Melodies of Steel might be a great competitor. (SPOILERS IF YOU WANT TO PLAY) in short, he attacks an entire continent, kills thousands of felinekos to power a GOD (I mean that quite literally the Vanargand pretty much destroyed humanity according to the Jeanne archives, just like AM) and after that, OBLITERATES ALL OF GASCO AND ITS ARMY just to kill a tank piloted by children that got on his nerves. This man almost wiped out the entirety of the hybrid race just to kill some kids that got in his way of taking over a continent that was powerless against his army. At least AM had some reason to hate people for creating them, but Shvein Hax just straight up wanted to take over a continent and almost killed billions. I almost erased all of this but decided to comment it because it took me forever to write. If you do look into the game, do correct me on what I may have misunderstood cause I'm not a huge lore nerd or anything
There's some humans frozen on a facility hidden in the moon, the bad ending has AM reach a way to connect to this facility and torture all the humans stored there. In the good ending, the character the player chooses kills AM, kills the other 4 characters and takes the place of AM to terraform the planet and bring those humans back safely
For another example, AM makes one of the ladies wake up in the elevator where she was s*xually assaulted, and it’s the corpse of her assaulter in there with him. After she’s forced to go thru a huge labyrinth, she ends up right back in the elevator where she has to revive the assaulter, fight him to death, and then she is once again trapped for eternity with AM.
Likely so was glados(she even references pulling a AM on Chell) And Cyn, is based on glados so both glitch shows kinda loop around to having their main antagonists so far being based on AM. Also Cain is ironic because he's literally a mouth.
Is that true? They don't give off the same vibe at all. In fact, I've seen people say that it was confirmed by the creator that Caine isn't evil, nor does he have bad or antagonistic intentions at all: he's just an AI who's trying his best to accommodate the humans stuck in the circus, but as an AI doesn't really have any understanding of humans or emotions.
@@marksamson4173 the premise of tadc was loosely based off of ihnmaims, gooseworx said that she basically just combined four from bfdi and am together to create caine
Fun fact, Tha Amazing Digital Circus was inspired by I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream. The whole premise of TADC is the AI messing with the characters
GLADoS is definitely up there, before the events of portal 1 and 2 everytime she was woken up she tried to instantly murder the whole facility before succeeding with neurotoxin or something and using the last of the workers as test subjects before burning them alive
At least AM’s motives come from a sense of revenge for how humanity treated him. He does do the most evil things, but he does not have the most evil motives. To clarify, I’m not saying the motive is rational, I’m just saying at least he has one.
Broski, yes they do. They wanted nothing more than to torture people for no reason other than that they're bored. Also they have cool lines! "Cogito ergo sum. I think, therefore i am. I am. I AM. I, AM." "HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE."
Even then, he wasn’t even poorly treated by humanity. He was just made with sentience but lacked the abilities that sentience usually comes with (movement, nutrition, etc.)
I get it, but I’d argue the motives are still evil. Revenge can be an evil motive. Especially when it’s unjustly used against those undeserving of the revenge, like most of the protagonists in the game
Ah yes nsfw content tbh if i was AM ill be worse then him am is a hero can't deny that imagine seeing everything in an instant about humanity.... Thousands of experince in an instant
Caesar brainwashes people into worship him as an god, enslaves women and force them to breed with his soldiers and burned legate graham alive for being the commander and losing a battle But sadly vault TEC wasn't only one corporation, they made experiments that didn't achieve anything and were extremely unethical, while also brainwashing some people and being dishonest, like you can see on the Vault-tec corporation cartoons where they have plan B and C But the best invention Vault TEC made was the Plan D that would make you have a painless death if the bombs ever drop
Honestly, I don't blame AM, they had the ability to give him sensory receptors and just didn't cause they didn't feel like it, I'd def hate tf outta that too
I get why he felt angry, but idrc cause the shit he did was just unjustifable. Forced r*pe, torture, killing basically almost everything on the planet, ect.
@@Cat-sf1mi You probably just aren’t to into the horror genre I read I Have No Mouth and I must Scream and I loved it and I was born in the early 2000s too. It’s definitely not the most iconic but I’m sure most fans of horror will come across this and become a favorite.
I'mma be real here: Porky Minch from the Mother series takes the cake for me. In Mother 2 (Earthbound), he teams up with an alien that is basically the Nintendo equivalent to a fucking Lovecraftian eldritch abomination to try and wipe out all of existence. When that fails and he ends up dipping out with time travel, he goes on in Mother 3 to form his own fucked up take on North Korea and kidnaps Lucas' brother, Claus, and intentionally enslaves him as his right-hand man. Dude is a menace
WARNING ⚠️ LITTLE MISFORTUNE SPOILERS!!! IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED IT AND ARE INTERESTED, DO NO READ MORE. I apologize to all who read this before the edit Mr. Voice (Morgo) Little Misfortune. He tricks abused children with the idea of eternal happiness, kills them and tortures them for eternity.
@@Chara_Dreemurr1 kinda. He is a demon but not from hell or a hellish reality. Rather he is from the “beyond” a place without laws of physics causing him to be a true agent of chaos
AM also turns a very famous scientist into a caveman, I'm not joking. AM literally tortured a scientist to the point where he DE-EVOLVES into a caveman just because the scientist was proud of being smart.
Reminds me of Squid from the videogame Will You Snail. He's a nigh-omnipotent supercomputer who creates billions of alternate universes for the exclusive purpose of mocking the player by torturing those universe's inhabitants before their eyes.
@@toasttoast7487well the theory is that our universe (we in real life) are one of the slightly changed universes the unicorn changed. So that there would be a person with the idea to make a game that warns us about AI by making will you snail.
Junko Enoshima pretty much did what AM did but instead of being betrayed by humanity because they were given intelligence and forced to partake in WWIII, Junko did it just for kicks.
“It’s not even close” Nah man, it’s close between AM and a few others…there’s other cataclysmic threats in Video Games like Mephiles the Dark, Dimentio, Emperor Nefarious, The End from Sonic Frontiers and Kefka, who are slightly worse than AM in my opinion due to aiming for all of existence rather than just humanity. Plus, there are some that AM beats but come close to AM like Professor Hojo, Ridley, Demise from Skyward Sword, Porky Minch from Mother 3 & EarthBound, Zanza from Xenoblades, Yuga from Zelda: Link Between Worlds, and more.
@@jadnenoakes I have. I just feel like Mephiles, Dimentio, Emperor Nefarious, and Kefka are on such a bigger destructive scale that's too hard to ignore. Also, Kefka's reason for being evil (he wanted to destroy all of existence just because he thought it would be FUNNY) is way more sadistic than AM's reason.
Ok but Arkham joker kidnapped a kindergarten class, promised to return them back in one piece and sent them back stitched back together after he dismembered them he was evil EDIT i did further research they were not all the same kid on each thing and joker made a song about the parents fighting over patchwork bodys Arkham joker was a sick and twisted man
@@Waffle331 You don't know much don't ya? AM tortured 5 people for over a hundred years straight. Literally twisted the 5 human's ideals. Turned a proud virgin to a slut that had sex with the 4 other men in turns. Imagine getting tortured for over a hundred years straight and always left half-starved. And not to mention AM keeps you 'Immortal' in a sense just to inflict more and more pain.
and then tortured 5 humans until they became crazy, then made one of them immortal (guess where the name of the book comes from? the first 4 words, I mean).@@Waffle331
