The love we feel for someone makes us do crazy things like jump of a bridge, spend all your money on gifts and....I don't know....slay 16 colossi and risk being consumed by a dark spirit?
Wander is a true hero. I'm sure he knew exactly what he was doing from the start and the consequences that would come of it, but he still did it all for the woman he loved. I'm certainly buying the Ico/SotC remake for PS3 so I can play Ico.
@SuperDubietyStrike Wander's NOT a hero. He's just a selfish man who couldn't get over things. hat's the whole point of the game. He went and killed all these peaceful giants for no good reason besides he was a selfish ass.
@RagingBear101 Except for the fact that he, you know, kept doing all these things despite his declining health and ever-increasing demonic appearance to revive that girl. Peaceful giants? Pfft...the colossi will attack you with no provocation. Go take a few fireballs to the face from Malus and tell me how peaceful he is.
I played this years ago and i thought to myself "man, that's sad, wander turned evil and had to be killed by his comrades, never got to see her, etc"
but after watching this again, i'm thinking "why the hell did they attack wander" sure he looked evil, but he neither attacked them and it seemed like all he was interested in was reaching the girl.
hell, if that guy hadn't stabbed wander, maybe it woulda been a happy-ever-after. it's always the overzealous old farts that ruin shit it seems
@serialies Killing the Colossi more or less 'corrupted' Wander, I think. That's why he gradually got more and more haggard looking, and the symbolism of those black lines after every victory. What Wander did WAS evil, he was just blinded by his love for Mono.
@serialies Welp. You (Wander) are killing things that do seem to be far older than humanity, comparatively speaking, at the behest of a voice inside a temple that was sealed off and abandoned by humans for a very long time, in order to take a soul from the afterlife and stick it back into a dead body. Also, you LOOKED more and more evil as the game went on, and had a little fanclub of shadowy guys. I assume this makes your actions in the game... not so righteous.
the only worthwhile you have is the "looking more evil", yet this is the traditional notion from videogames which i think people have moved past.
for the whole "older than thou, YOU HAVE UNSEALED THE ANCIENT, etc" point is something that many games have already challenged, eg games where the status quo (churches, ruling body etc) is bad and what they say is evil/sealed away/etc is actually good, eg Final Fantasy Tactics, Shadow hearts, Shin Megami Tensei (to an extent) etc
@serialies Also I'd like to thank you for having a rational discussion and it not devolving to insults and such- you have a sense of rationality that is lost to a large population of youtube users, lol.
so to sum it up, only thing he did that could be said to be wrong is going against tradition, which in itself is not completely wrong depending on method and motivation.
saying he/dormin was evil/bad is something that arises from a superficial analysis, because of the old school look of evil (shadowy), because some old dude said Wander was bad (and must be killed), and because dormin was sealed away. all of these things have been subverted in both literature and other games.
@serialies I think it's fair to say that whether Wander was or was not evil is settled by saying that no, he was not. As an individual. With that said- I think what he DID was, in fact, evil. Of course the game is fairly unspecific on that point, but that's what I personally took away from it. I think that it makes his actions that much more tragic, and for me it just ups the emotional impact of the ending.
I actually think that Lord Emon trained Wander in horse-back riding, swordmanship, and how to use a bow- arrow, hence his exceptional skill. He was also a religious master who Wander looked up to, and he told Wander to kill Mono for she had a cursed fate. He killed her, but realizes that he actually loved her, and he felt guilty for killing her. So out of love and guilt he wanted to revive Mono at any cost to redeem himself.
@shadowzapdos Yes he did. He revived his love. That was his goal from the start. It didn't matter what he had to do. He was willing to do anything. Which proves that Mono was more than just a crush or some random girl he was determined to save. You only do those type of things for that one unconditional love.
zomg the heartless XD, makes you wonder why sora didn't appear and kill them a wtih a keyblade lol..i so wish the darkside fight was more like Shadow of the Colossus..woulda made it so epic lol, well i guess it sorta is
"Congratulations! You just spent 30 hours running around and beating bosses! What's your Prize? An Arrow in your thigh and a sword in your chest, and then you get mixed up in such a huge plot-twist you sit their looking like you just got R@ped by a platypus!"
Did he turn into a colossus at the end? If he did then all those other colossi came to exist the exact way he did? Did his "girlfriend" come back to life? Who was that voice we kept hearing throughout the game? So many questions :/
****spoiler****dude its simple, once there was 1 colossus, named dormin, i think he's wasn't much of a nice guy and those kokiri florests wanna be seperated his body and power into 16 colossus, and dormin is using wander to recover his power(those black shit that come to wander after each colossus) and once wanda has all power dormin uses his body to reincanate. his gf comes back to life, but he doens't stay to see it.
I'm saying that the baby at the end of the game is Ico. Ico is a reincarnation of the Warrior in the game. Like Ico is the Warrior in a future life. Understand?
The baby is the first in Wander's line. The main character in Ico is a descendant of Wander. The developers said this in an interview. Sources can be found on wikipedia :)
la cosa con el final ta que los creadores medio que no tienen vida, xq al final cuando el charco te kiere comer, vos podes evitar que te trague pero en un punto se te traba el piso (yo llegue hasta el maximo que se puede ir saltando) e igual, x mas esfuerzo que hagas, termina igual. Y lo peor es que no sepas esto -.-U
