Ok....... This is something that has been bothering me alot since the start of the year when I wanted to delve in Undertale massively. I'm going to get massive shits about this, especially by friends, so I'm just going to say this outright: Flowey is a fucking shit villain. He's not a clever villain, he's just a killing machine just to pent up drama. I could arguably say that Flowey is one of the worst villains I've seen in gaming. Yeah, I fucking went there you cunts. He is one of the major issues I have with the game. It feels so much like the final boss of Sonic Frontiers. Flowey could be a genuinely scary antagonist, but one aspect that ruins the character for me is the fact that Flowey has no emotions. I get the reason why that is and I do like the backstory of Flowey, but this factor alone does not engage me AT ALL. Flowey hinges so much on bringing in tension and suspense and is the most try-hard failure of a villain I've seen since The End from Sonic Frontiers. It mostly focuses so much on Flowey being the most mentally-insane badass character, think Riddler from Batman 2022 mixed with Mephiles the Dark from Sonic 06. One thing I like to see in a villain is some sort of emotion or expression. Riddler, Eggman, Gorr from fucking Love and Thunder, etc. I love these villains because you could understand their origin, their reactions, their expressions, etc. While I do like the backstory of Flowey, as I mentioned before, everything else just leaves me miserable. And you know what? Maybe it's my fault. Prehaps I only have myself to blame for expecting the antagonist who carries the strings to be upthere with the best parts of Undertale, the effective writing, the great messages, the fun characters, the intriguing world building, the uniqueness of this game, and this soulless suicide-threat generator of a villain. Yes, I'm aware of the "soulless" comment. The best way I can describe that part is I get how Flowey literally has no emotions, it just does not make me like the villain at all. I get and understand the cause of this, I just don't like it. To me, he just feels like Kang from Quantumania but so unbearable and worse to follow. It feels like a case of the villain being indiscriminate for the sake of being indiscriminate. It's not really scary. It's not really impressive. Honestly, it's really just a letdown. And somehow, this is another treasured part of Undertale. I guess I'm the retarded one for thinking this way. Fuck me.

Sorry for this huge tantrum, I really wanted to release this anger because it's genuinely something I am so pissed about. I love this game alot, but this is the massive stain in the package that prevents me from calling this game one of the best I've ever played. I don't know how to express everything fully by words. All I feel discussing this is an aura of rage & fire, and the grilling eyes of frustration. This character is one of the most personally frustrating things in gaming and I want to make it as clear and open as possible. I need to relax by watching funny Youtube content, oh my lord.
