Talk:Lavos

message: On a planet, the spawn would grow in the core of the planet, harvesting the DNA of its inhabitants to create an ultimate being, manifested in the game as the "Lavos Core".  DNA harvesting?  I don't remember that... 152.13.204.128 21:35, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

message: It looks like two anonymous users are going back and forth on this one, it would probably benefit us to move this to the talk page. You could say Lavos is a personification of evil since he has no real personality and can be considered evil in the context of the game, or you can say he's not "pure evil" in the same sense of the villain from earthbound or something similar.--BigCow 21:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm inclined to agree as well, Lavos is described as an alien organism rather than an incarnation of abstract evil. The category currently has examples like Agent Smith, which is equally shaky, but I'm still not sure Lavos qualifies as evil personified.--BigCow 21:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lavos as a Fictional Personification of Evil 

message: Why was it necessary to eliminate the segment which stated that, in Chrono Cross, "dreamstone's part in human evolution is not mentioned"?  As far as I know, it isn't.  While Chrono Trigger asserts that dreamstone was what caused humans to evolve, Cross does not make any mention of that particular plot device.  King Zeal 20:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The former segment, with the word "However", kind of implied that Chrono Cross had something that contradicted Chrono Trigger. This simply isn't the case. Why would Chrono Cross have to mention everything that was mentioned in or happened in Chrono Trigger? Kariteh 13:34, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Evolution of Humans

message: Ok, I have no idea who put the bit on the ROM in there, but it's pretty silly.  Emulators are well known to have graphical errors when running a ROM.  It doesn't have anything to do with an "implied plot".  Unless someone shows some real evidenc of it being real, i vote it stays out of the article. :< Super Pixel Advance 00:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: ROM Version

message: In the last two weeks TVTropes used evidence from the scene at the top of Terra Tower from Chrono Cross to argue the idea that Lavos itself is directly speaking to the characters, and thus does indeed have a personality and characterization, and is quite evil at that.

Assuming we agree with their arguments, should this page be updated to reflect this? Speyeker (talk) 16:01, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: If a source somewhere makes an article about it - even if it's GameRant or something - it's viable to put in. If we are simply talking about fan theories that have been posted on forums, then it would fall under user-generated content and not be allowed. Wikipedia can only include direct plot information that is obviously told to the player, rather than theorizing on unclear things.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:10, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
