I love how in SSBB, Dedede never really trusted the other baddies and made up a contingency plan to reanimate the statued brawlers if things went south. King Dedede might not be the nicest character, but he isn’t really a villain.

[@SuperGamefreak18]

from what I understand its less he didnt trust the other baddies but unlike bowser he wasn't fooled by master hands wierd commands, but bowser and DDD are fiercly loyal to master hand. DDD figured out something quickly was up with their leader while bowser didn't. Bowser was angry at DDD for being a traitor to the master hand likely, DDD literally shutting him up and showing him the downed hand is what made bowser realize what ddd already knew

[@HealingVoice39]

Dedede invaded the Halberd to sneak into Tabuu’s plan to see what he is up to, he was informed of the off waves and made revive badges that revive trophied fighters

[@RelentlessSketchStudios]

Dedede's more of a solo guy. He'll only bring other people, like Meta Knight, into his plan if its necessary, and he has his loyal army of Waddle Dees at his disposal to do more of the leg work. If anything, Dedede deserves to be titled as a king! He's always willing to do what he thinks is best for his people, even willing to sacrifice himself if it is for the greater good.

[@SuperGamefreak18]

@@RelentlessSketchStudios I was more talking about the subspace embassy version of him. He was one of many rulers in the land, though one of the smartest which his brooches proved, being turned into a trophy would be an issue, and he had to do it in secret. Which is why he was so caught off guard by bowser's ambush, he thought he was in the clear.

[@lunar9342]

Dedede might get possessed a lot in the games, but he'd never let someone else control him if he gets a say. He's too independent for that. Unfortunately, Mind Control doesn't leave much room for free will, lol

[@pikaqte5418]

The fact that Kirby in the forgotten land is like "WAIT NO DEDEDE" breaks my little heart. And also that little hug in smash

[@MrRuePine]

Dedede is badass in Triple Deluxe and Forgotten Land. In Triple Deluxe, he saves Kirby from getting squeezed to death by Sectonia's vines by -clobbering- smashing him out of the vines, then throws Kirby at the Miracle Seed Taranza throws at him. In Forgotten Land, right before the Forgo Dedede fight, he's even seen trying to fight the evil force controlling him, showing that he's had enough of being easily possessed all the time. After the fight, when one Waddle trips, Dedede saves him from the Beast Pack by throwing in him the elevator (even though he had literally enough time to just grab him and rush to the elevator), then does a last stand against them.

[@giorgioantonaci7097]

About King Dedede tossing that Waddle Dee, IMO it was actually justified, since Kirby was visibly struggling to keep the elevator door from closing plus he probably did that to save time and hold off the pack for much longer.

I know, IMO, DeDeDe saw Kirby's immense appetite and assumed that Kirby was going to eat all the food, leaving Dreamland to starve.

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

For all the people who are confused as to why dedede is considered a villain, in the old spin off games (even if they might not be canon) in dream course dedede steals all the stars out of the sky, and in super star stacker dedede shoots Mr star out of the sky for a "prank", even in more recent spin offs like battle royale dedede continually cheats at his own rigged competition even to go as far as taking kirby back stage to heat him with a giant robot. Over all dedede has had a reception arc and it even says in his guest star description that he wants to clean up his image, but dedede was always intended to be a greedy lazy selfish king, but dedede has been doing self improvement ever since adventure.

He also beat Gorimondo at least 30 times, and at least two of them must've been no-hit runs.

[@l.n.3372]

They even carved thank you, Meta Knight onto the wall in his honor.

[@SuperJamz64]

King Dedede and Meta Knight are not villains, not anymore. King Dedede was genuinely evil in Dream Land and Revenge of the King, but after his defeat in Revenge of the King, he realized he was never going to beat Kirby. He became an Anti-Hero starting with Kirby 64 and is now a friend to Kirby, although the two still have a friendly rivalry. And outside of trying to take over Dream Land in Meta Knight's Revenge, Meta Knight has firmly been an Anti-Hero, who only fights Kirby to train him and always gives him a fair chance by giving him a sword. The one time he didn't give Kirby a sword in Squeak Squad was because he had to make sure Kirby didn't open the chest that contained Dark Nebula. While they were evil in some early games, King Dedede and Meta Knight have been Anti-Heroes (Sometimes with less of an emphasis on the Anti part) and friends of Kirby who are firmly on the side ever since Kirby 64 and Amazing Mirror respectively.

[@jcplays5831]

Meta knight and King Dedede being “good” guys was so nice. Dedede did steal Luigi and the others, but hey he redeemed himself by punting Bowser in the nose (always loved that cutscene), and it was cool seeing Meta Knight be very honorable.

[KATFL Spoilers] I think Forgotten Land is where Dedede was at his most heroic. He didn't hesitate to stay behind to throw a Waddle Dee into the elevator while Kirby tried to hold the door open, and fight off the Beast Pack as best as he can. This is one of many moments that make me proud to say that, while he was selfish and whatnot, Dedede was never a "villain", and he really does care about his subject as well as Planet Popstar and even Kirby! Long story short, he truly deserves his title of King. I also think Amazing Mirror was where Meta Knight was at his most heroic too.

[@pikaqte5418]

Absolutely, and that action shows how much he trusts Kirby to take care of things. Like yes, with triple deluxe and return to Dreamland, he did help and that was true, don't get me wrong. But this wasn't the same as Magolor and Sectonia. Dedede knew these beings would have to be held off to keep the waddle dees safe and escape, and he basically said "yeah I trust you to keep them safe"

[@Davidpoland2005]

i like how dedede was like a mafia boss in the first games, just being a villain, but in the newer games, kirby just breaks into his castle and beats him to disappearance (death)

[@Mac14329]

Because he's possessed or brainwashed.

Shut up

[@DarkVeemon4586]

in your face the fans believing that dedede and meta knight was always mean to kirby,and other KRBAY anime fan said still think dedede wants to kill kirby and buy monsters from nighmare!

[@alexanderdahms4001]

Well they never mean to Kirby to Kirby (exectdd anime dee dee dee he mean to kirby

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

Even anime dedede never wanted to kill kirby, he says that nothing interesting happened in Dreamland before kirby arrived, him fighting kirby is just his sick form of entertainment. He probably doesn't even realize how dangerous the things he uses are.

Okay, no need for that.

poor king dedede, he sacrificed himself to save waddle dee and on top of that he stayed to fight

[@fleetway64]

God I love it. King dedede is the only guy to free Bowser, kick his ass, free him again and bitch slap him when he acts up to put him in his place. Mario could only dream of doing that

[@anankos795]

Finally, the greatest compilation of all time.

I feel like Nintendo made up their mind who is the better villain between Bowser and Ganondorf

[@tracemacmillan9718]

I love how gently dedede picks up the waddle de

@@IvanFranco120 yup. although im probably getting r/woooosh'd here, after you beat Lab Discovera, you can see dedede relaxing near the Coliseum. edit: before anybody says "YOU SPOILED IT I HAVENT PLAYED IT YET", if the video has spoilers, then im allowed to talk about the spoilers.

[@chemicaljack818]

I mean the only times dedede was evil was either he was possessed or it was because of his jealousy for Kirby

8:21-8:25 Is nobody going to comment on Ganondorf's "Fine, I'll help, but only because I was tricked!" attitude?!

I'm gonna be really disappointed if a kirby movie comes out and makes ddd or mk into actual villains. If they did make one then I think 64 would make the best plot honestly

Thanks for making a video about a true hero
