Okay the friend one can be debated as dumb but the fucking butterfly IS LITERALLY THE GRIM REAPER OF THE KIRBY UNIVERSE SO ITS KINDA IMPORTANT IF IT SHOWS UP
Watching Kirby fans act schizophrenic is so damn funny, they see a cute new friend and think it's the devil in disguise, they see the game trailer and start frantically searching for a butterfly like The Immortal looking for Omniman
Kirby fans seeing a new cute little companion character and IMMEDIATELY assuming its secretly evil and the final boss will never not be funny to me because its only really happened like twice but both times were so traumatic they all grew up with permanent trust issues.
If I had a nickel for everytime an interest that I thought was dead forever only to be brought back up from the dead miraculously is have 2 nickels
Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
