Genesis Or Sephiroth? (Spoilers)
CONTAINS CRISIS CORE SPOILERS
Which do you think is a better antagonist?
I'd say Genesis though he isn't much of one towards the end. He's simply got more depth to him than Sephiroth. His motives makes a lot more sense as well. He doesn't desire godhood. he desires self-preservation and to be a hero. He's f ailure and his existence is, literally, pointless. So he aspires to be like...Sephiroth. But he can't be. So he's smart. He hates hwo composed Seph is. how heroic and famous he is. So Genesis leads to Sephiroth's fall from grace. He's no longer a hero. He's no longer smug and collected. Genesis helped drive Seph into a bonkers villainous rampage. Nice.
Genesis' longing to be with the Goddess, his wanting to save himself and find meaning in his being as a hero is just more reasonable than Sephiroth wanting to kill everyone for no reason. (as of five years after he was droppe din the reactor) G's poetic nature and plight just resound more than "take the Planet back for the alien being I know isn't my mother and then since I want to be with her always, sending her body to be mutilated"
Amd that's my view. Yours?
