User blog comment:Dorkpool/A Rant On Red, Monsters, And Antagonists In General/@comment-26054278-20150629223858

I agree completely. As you know, I have a strong dislike for the NES Godzilla Creepypasta, and one of my main complaints was that it was very tedious and just much too drawn out.

I honestly think that if RED wasn't just an obvious piece of symbolism for Satan that he would be more interesting. If he was, in fact, another being that wanted to torment the main character for something he had done in the past, maybe he would be a more interesting villain.

Actually, come to think of it, RED is a really lazy villain. He has absolutely no motivation for anything he does except that he is Satan and Satan is evil.

Not only is The Joker interesting, but his motivation seems to just be to cause chaos for fun. Sure, it doesn't sound great on paper, but there are some pieces of dialogue in The Dark Knight that delve into The Joker's mind and this motivation to make it more clear, as well as more creepy.

Anyway, this is a well done post.
