Of
course Lavos exists in the real world!
...as bits of information contained in every Chrono Trigger cartridge, CD, and ROM on the planet.
UNLESS 2012! Yes mwhahahahaha! (A joke on the fact that the new big year for the end of the world is 2012 last time I heard! People are fascinated about the end of the world...so maybe you shouldn't tempt Lavos to rise and kill us all!)
It always fascinates me, people's obsession with the end of the world. Not to make this thread take a philosophical turn, but first mankind thought the sun was the center of the universe, and then they thought the earth was, and finally when both were proven thoroughly wrong humans decided they could at least take solace in the belief that
obviously they were the most important beings in the universe, thus removing anthrocentrism from heliocentrism and geocentrism and making it into it's own absurd worldview...
And consequently, since people believe that they are the most important creatures in existence, they think that
surely the universe would attempt to eradicate them in one apocalypse or another. Will the world end eventually? Absolutely. But anyone who buys into theories of armageddon is a complete and total fucktard. I can't wait until 2012 when the lines in the super markets will stretch around the block again because of people trying to stock up on water/spaghettios/tinfoil/condoms in preparation for the final hours.
