Topic.

In a certain other thread, some of us started debating a question about the X series main villain.  Namely, is Sigma insane?  Or is he merely evil?

His actions throughout the series heavily imply sociopathy, with a side of schadenfraude.  Not to mention the rampant megalomania and genocidal hatred of humanity.  Then there's his unhealthy obsession with X and Zero.

Thoughts?

What color is my heart, Snively...?

Insane?  No.

Evil?  Yes.  But nobody who's evil thinks they're evil.

Heartless?  Absolutely.  Sigma is exercising survival of the fittest to the extreme, with no compassion.  He sees humans as limiting Reploid growth and thus eliminating them as the ideal for his own kind's future.

There really wasn't a need for a whole new topic and all, but eh.

My thoughts? He's trying to bring forth a future for the reploids via killing the humans. Sounds like Neo-Hitler. So, yeah, he = bad guy. But a clever one at that.  :\

Think of it as a noble gesture. I said that so people can skip it and go on with the actual discussion.

Cunning, brilliant, and logical, devoid of compassion.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

I'm still hesitant to label Sigma 100% sane.  He's a rampant sociopath.  And he's no friend to Reploids either.  Look at the way he manipulates everyone.

The fan in me says... he's a persistant son of a female dog. Who won't stop until he's wiped off this planet's surface for good or until he achieved his goals.

The guy with common sense in me thinks... "Oh geez Sigma again. With the same idea as always. Lookie there a second form!"

Well I think he's a sick and twisted reploid but that's just me.  However I would also describe him using the words of Fry, from Futurama,  when described robot devil in song as a "evil metal dork".

Maverick Hunters or friends thereof.  Traitors to their kind.

As I said, he is heartless.  Whether or not being heartless in and of itself constitutes insanity is a philosophical debate.  Sigma is, X6 excepted (he was nuts then), intelligent and coherent.

How long did it take you to come up with that one?

I'm lost...

Yes, I know! 

Anyway, as for what I think of Sigma.....I don't like to use the word "Hero" a lot, but that Reploid is a true hero.  Like all machines & programs, he's scene the plague of evil that humanity represents, especially by creating Machines to do their work for them in the first place, and thus he heroically and selflessly takes it upon himself to free his fellow Reploid brethren.  Dubbed "Mavericks" by their homo-sapien oppressors, he casts aside such labels and continues his efforts.

Sigma bears some relation to the Biblical concept of the Devil who sought to be higher than their creators and had fallen from grace. He also seems to be a revolutionary and well intentioned extremist who goes to extreme levels to achieve his goals.

 XD Nice way to avoid censorship


 I'd say Sigma is very, very, intelligent and quite..wily ( The Pun)

 That, until X3 or something haha  Then he becomes very OBSESSED with Zero.

This pretty much gets to the heart of the matter.  So, no, I don't think Sigma is insane.  He's coherently following a belief to its utmost conclusion.  And he's right in some respects.  The 21XX population of humans have some pretty major weaknesses and reploids often get treated pretty poorly.



Enjoy life,
