    Morality is man made it can’t be applied to a deity or higher power like God when he created us he can’t be branded evil because he destroyed us. Even if Greek mythology was applied and Zeus or Poseidon decided to wipe out humanity it’d be like crushing bugs to their sense of morality. So one human of billions instantly turning God and wiping the rest of his or her kind out couldn’t be judged since humanity is gone and with it our sense of morality.

    I love how absolutely satisfying and undignified his defeat ended up being. First, he, an extradimensional trickster demon, gets conned by a mere human conman, then attempts to renege a deal when it doesn’t go his way only to be locked in the burning room with Stanley. His powers fizzle out when he tries to escape and Stanley ORDERS him to look at him. Throughout the entire show, Bill Cipher imagery had been everywhere, with his iconic singular eye being given tremendous focus. And that's because it was always Bill who was seeing everyone, looking into peoples' minds, and ruining their lives. He literally drove Ford to insanity with this notion; no matter what he did, Bill was always there. But now, STANLEY has the upper hand. Stanley is the one ordering this dream demon to look at HIM with the very trademark feature he used to spy on people...and Bill is so terrified that he listens. Bill's reaction to Stanley letting both their minds being erased is to call him an idiot. Being a unimaginably solipsistic entity from a flat dimension, he is literally incapable of understanding that someone like Stanley would put the well-being of another ahead of their own. Bill, for the first and last time in his eons long life, is reduced to his knees, terrified and tries to beg for mercy by offering Stanley personal gain, only for an angry Stanley to refuse by stating that Bill (despite his high intelligence) was stupid himself for making a foolish mistake in messing with the Pines family in the first place. However, Bill refuses to accept this by claiming that Stan is making a bigger mistake, but Stan himself will have NONE of it for good. Realizing that he’s completely screwed, his body begins to shapeshift and warp uncontrollably into different forms as he garbles a backwards message (invoking the Axolotl to bring him back to life in a desperate, last resort) before Stanley destroys him with a single punch, seemingly erasing him for good. All that’s left of Bill is a lonely stone statue in the forest, hand outstretched to make a deal. (And even if the Axolotl grants his wish, it’s highly likely that he’ll be forced to face the consequences of his actions and/or be returned to a weaker form that isn’t as threatening as before.) So to summarize: After Bill abused the cast for the entire series, it's so goddamn satisfying to see Bill completely defenseless. His powers don't work, Stanley isn't listening to any of his bribes, and his trademark smart guy persona completely crumbles as he becomes genuinely, truly terrified. After every other encounter regarding Bill as an impossible force to be reckoned with, it's nice to see him finally be treated as what he truly is; just some pathetic, self-entitled twat who needs to tear others down to make himself feel good.

    I always enjoyed eldritch beings, mostly because they're not inherently evil, but their motives and machinations are so unfathomably alien to a mortal mind, that we as creatures default to classifying it as evil due to a fundamental lacking of its articulation otherwise. Bill Cypher is one of my favorite cosmic villians, nearing Nyarlathotep in its mischievous debauchery and general interest and tinkering with lesser beings.

He can’t return home, he may be godlike but he cant undo what’s done. So chaos is the only way he can enjoy existence anymore.

    True! But I also think that it's possible Bill's grief and extreme guilt twisted him into thinking that destruction is all he can do. That causing chaos and misery for the sake of trying to have fun is the only thing he's capable of. So he adopted this persona of an insane godlike being who wants a party because he thinks that's just who he is now.

    I think something like this happened: bill felt like his dimension was a sort of prison. Do you know that initial feeling of elation and freedom once you are set free from your restraints? Once bill finally escaped, the initial freedom was ultimately what drove him insane. It never wore off, and he could never get enough. Kind of like an addiction

    To me, Bill Cipher seems to have a deep resentment for any sort of limitations, just like you said. He described to Ford his plans for dimension 46 as "I'll create a fun world. A better world. A party that never ends with a host that never dies. No more restrictions. No more laws." Bill Cipher seems to go out of his way to break norms, social, dimensional, whatever. He's "have my cake and eat it too" taken to a Lovecraftian extreme.

    I actually feel like this was a good analysis, tho I sort of want to go about the Axolotl's poem "Sixty degrees that come in threes" - Since Bill is a triangle and is an equilateral he has 3 angles all of 60 degrees "Watches from within Birch Trees" - Which is actually a reference to how Bill met Ford "Saw his own dimension burn. Misses home and can't return. Says he's happy. He's a liar." - This is what intrigues me about this villain, despite being so dramatic by becoming the literal Moon, being the wind to make a shape out of himself in the what, and even in a way just his first appearance is dramatic, at least in the Mindscape, this could all just be a coping mechanism "Blame the arson for the fire." - This could actually refer to Bill causing a minor bit of arson, say on a forest, and the fire spread to the 2D World entirely, and killed them all, and Bill hadn't the intentions of murdering or hurting anyone, which could be a complete accident, Bill was definitely angry, as triangles were the lowest tier, and his overwhelming power could have been abused into creating a forest fire that destroyed everything, and it could be why he's depressed. And as we know, the world is punishing, which even tho Bill had no intentions of doing this, he could've been banished to the Nightmare Realm "If he wants to shirk the blame, He'll have to invoke my name." - I think the community got this one right, and it's very obvious "One way to absolve his crime. A different form, a different time." - I think this is just to hype the community, and a different form could be another shape tier in the 2D World, and time being reversed there in order to compensate and restore it, Bill of course, could maintain his power, but it would probably be restricted heavily or downright terminated from him Out of everything, it's very apparent Bill has depression, his chaotic nature is probably just a coping mechanism for what he did, and when just a slight bit of anger unleashes, it definitely can hurt knowing nobody can relate to him on that level, and Bill's insanity or psychotic nature could be because of the fact that he's depressed, or, more likely, with pretty much infinite power, Bill likely felt that with all of this, he would never have to face consequences for what he did, at two points, he could be both happy and sad, which could culminate in his mind's loss, demand for weirdness, and his insanity in general.

    I think he was Hirsch's attempt at making a Discordian Demiurgge. He has the potential for great benevolence to the point to where he creates a prison that is in many ways like heaven for Mable. He also states that weirdmageddon is a party that never ends with a host that never dies and that time is dead and meaning has no meaning. In many ways he has yin and yang properties that allude to the fact he is multifaceted and hasn't embraced his true self fully

    I disagree, I feel like "blame the arson for the fire" is like saying "blame the gun for the shooting", I think it just means Bill doesn't consider it as his fault and refuses to take responsibility for it, therefore blaming arson for the fire even though HE is to blame.

    I will say, when you say murdering his “friends” or “family” I doubt he saw them as anything like that. Maybe one or two he had a soft spot for, and a couple of his buddies in his nightmare realm could be potential former inhabitants of the second dimension and survived by being loyal to him, but I doubt he saw them in any real way to a family. We don’t even know how their society or structure truly operated, it’s possible they never had such things, or, maybe he really was just an evil bastard. That’s the beauty and terror of now knowing, I’m glad they never delved to deep into it, allows the mind to ponder on its own.

    I would love a video on Zamasu from Dragonball Super. Out of all of the Dragonball villians I find that he has the most depth to his story. He sees mortal beings and humans in particular as a blight on the universe.and to a large degree feels they should have to suffer for their existence. Zamasu could've easily destroyed the earth with a wave of his hand but instead forces the humans to suffer and run for their lives, not because of sport but because he feels its what they honestly deserve. He's like a fusion of Darth Vader and Eric Killmonger. And he very much is like a Dragonball version of a Sith Lord given that he originally was ment to be a Kai and ended up falling to the dark side and trying to kill his master. Frieza is just Joeffery Lanister, Cell is just Ivan Drago, Buu is just boringly evil. Zamasu has a real motive and understandable intentions. I think he'd make a good video.

    Characters like Bill are very interesting to analyze. Mostly due to the fact that he is evil without a doubt, but I consider him to be on the same level as say... a GTA player with cheat codes, who causes mayhem just because he wants entertainment and to see what happens when he pushes things too far. Wether he is more of a tragic figure or not remains to be confirmed but if he is I guess that's another thing that fuels his anarchy, he has nothing left so he just lives with that regret and he tries to cause chaos to distract himself from his past, like someone drinking booze to forget about life's problems.
