This kinda plays into why Porky was chosen as his right hand man, and the very beginning fight with the Starman Jr., Buzz Buzz was Giygas’ possible advisor and knew he was suffering, and possibly at an old age anyway, he volunteered to stage a fight with the Jr. Knowing this includes Earth’s destruction he set up a plan by finding the Apple of Enlightenment and with it devised a plan that would stop the destruction of everything, and that leads into the story of earthbound. But for some reason it didn’t go quite as that plan intended, instead it was more like a gradual thing, and what he found out was while his body indeed is being torn apart, it’s not just going away, his mind is also deteriorating and releasing the power into a semi-physical dimensional form that will end up being a massive chaotic uncontrollable storm that will expand across universe and destroy everything in infinite darkness, essentially he realized it was universal wide ticking time bomb that was gonna go off very soon. He knew his body couldn’t handle an excessive amount of power, so he made an attempt to. (I think his spiel of “ugly earth people” is more his race talking than his own opinions on earth and it’s people.) With actually going into details, my personal theory is Giygas’ after the events of earthbound beginnings, through the guilt and grief he’s going through with the loss of Maria, his failure to his own race, all the mental trauma his race put on him to separate from Maria and start an invasion he didn’t want to even do. He tried to end his own life in a way that backfires so bad it will also end everyone else’s life if he can’t stop it. In short I think my interpretation of Giygas and the whole of “earthbound” is an elaborate way to end the life of a suffering, hurt alien who just wanted to be with his mother, but never could. ![]() ![]() Itoi has given the only concrete evidence that Giygas in “earthbound” basically represents fear and guilt, and I think that really plays into what happened to him. I kinda have my own theory on Giygas as a whole, that takes what the game and Itoi has said. In conclusion, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Paula's prayer likely helped not only save the Earth, but also Giygas. " Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness Ness.", " It's not right. I'm so sad.Ness." He remembers times with, Maria, and Ninten's friends. it hurts.", " Ah, Grr, Ohhh.", " Argh, Yaaagh!." Sounds to me like somone deeply hurt, physically and emotionally, calling out for help. To me, in Earthbound, fighting Giygas seems less like fighting an evil force that truly wishes pain on others, and more like a confused mess that lashes out against anything and everything. ![]() Very emotionally conflicted, he was probably pressured into hating the Earth by his kind, pushing down his feelings of love, and somehow (maybe the Devil's Machine) got his brain scrambled and became the embodiment of evil, used more as a tool to destroy humankind by his own race, and even Porky. I think after the events of M1/EBB, Giegue was very conflicted about his duty to take over/destroy the Earth for his species, and his memories of the only person who ever truly loved him, Maria.
