I don't get the Kirby lore reference at all. Is it actually that deep?

The games aren’t deep per se, but they just get a little tonally weird towards the end given the franchise’s cute presentation. You go from fighting a tree who won’t stop disrupting forest creatures to battling an unknowable alien incarnation of darkness who wants to take over all of reality. The series has a lot of, “Oh no, our friend’s been possessed by a manifestation of pure evil!” plots.

Kirby may or may not be an eldritch god that feasts on the souls of other eldritch gods.

He eats a child at one point.

An eldritch god birthed into existence as a counterweight to the overwhelming darkness of the universe, a force of nature, regardless of intent (I think, it's been years since I took that plunge)
