User blog:JoxFox2109/PE Proposal: King Boo

So I want to discuss King Boo, the main antagonist of the Luigi's Mansion franchise and the archenemy of Luigi.

What has he done?
King Boo is the ruler of the Boos and tricked Mario and Luigi that they had won a mansion. When Mario arrived first, he captured him and locked him into a painting. He tried to do that with Luigi too and have them both trapped in there for all eternity. So he tried to defeat Luigi with an Bowser imitation. But he failed and got sucked into Luigi's "vacuum cleaner". In the sequel, he again, captured Mario into a painting and a few Toads too, but also destroyed the dark moon crystal of Evershade Valley, what causes the friendly ghosts to go rogue and become very aggressive. He also enslaves them. He looses the care of his Boos and in the sequel he commit nasty experiments on them. After Luigi gets close to restoring the Dark Moon, King Boo starts to lose it, and tears open a portal to the ghosts' homeworld with the intent to destroy the universe as an act of spite. And not to mention that he loves to torture Luigi mentally.

MITIGATING FACTORS
In the first game, he shows that he cares about his henchmen. But that changes in the sequel when he does nasty experiments on them and doesn't care if they got captured by Luigi.

HEINOUS STANDARD
The Super Mario series does have a very low heinous standard, with Dimentio being the only other one who stands out enough. But Dimentio is heinous in his own ways.

FINAL VERDICT
First, I was undecided and when I played Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, I don't felt like he was very cruel and heinous, but now, I see it and agree. So I'll give a "yes". We will see if that changes in Luigi's Mansion 3, but it seems like he gets worse in that game. When the game is released and he shows positive qualities, I will make a removal proposal.
