>>39648337The thing about Cyrus design is that he's supposed to be emotionless but they went overboard with this stale uninspiring mold.
>his plan is fucking retardedSure the end goal is pretty dumb but leading up to that point its actually well thought out(I say this because there still is no proof that controlling Dialga and Palkia will allow you to snap the universe how you see fit). It baffles to this this day that people throw it under the bus for being unrealistic. Just think about that for a moment, people are saying something in the world full of elemental blasting rodents is unrealistic. I will agree that he's cookie cutter tier though but that's only because he's as you said, he's neither menacing or interesting. Its possible this was intentional due to his lack of emotions but that just makes him a basic bitch who's just trying to get something done for the sake of being the villain even if he doesn't necessarily view himself as such. Maybe this was also intentional.
That doesn't make it good though. I'm sure there are better examples of the emotionless villain character done right.
