I was more ranting about how the Forsaken, who were really the only corporeal Scary Guys left in the series, were defanged in tGS, and Semi was the perfect example.



And Sephiroth was another example of how, essentially, evil is cool. If he had suddenly been spanked, or confessed to his therapist that he just wanted his alien mommy to love him or whatever, he'd have been a lot less menacing.
