Quote has killed an innocent little mushroom. While Curly`s memories were restored, Ma Pignon died. I always thought it was unfair. What do you guys think?

Morals didn't stop me from killing the other white mushrooms, or the critters, or the bats, or the behemoths, or the...

Well you get the idea. If I didn't care about any of them, why would I care about Ma Pignon?

Mushrooms, critters, bats, and behemoths were trying to hurt you. Ma Pignon didn`t attack you at all and wasn`t aggressive. It just wanted to live and it only fought for self defense, for its life.

The mushrooms and behemoths were just walking around, and only dealt damage to you if you walked in their path. The same could be said for some of the bats.

I guess it basically boils down to that he's a mushroom, and you could care less if he didn't want to get eaten.

I thought I was the only one who found this extremely unfair. Thing is he's a sentient being capable of both abstract and complex thinking.

I mean Ma Pignon doesn't even have an endocrine system, yet still has feelings. A mushroom with such intellect shouldn't be killed. He should be given to the US government.

That sounds like a fate worse than death.

...He should be given the Serbian government. If he had been in charge some years earlier we would live here better. Actually if a cat or a lifeless piece of wood (Plank? lol) had been in charge we would have lived better. Sad thing this is truth not sarcasm. Talk about how hard it is to be president...

Ontopic: if Curly ate it, that means she has a digestive system and resorption and circulation? How can mushroom tissue affect data banks? Or maybe Ma Pignon was a .......robot mushroom!!! lol O.O

Or maybe he's just a magical mushroom, and would therefore work on anything (living or not) that ate him.

You nearly kill Curly for about the same reason.
