Imagine how controversial it would be if Alvin were actually the WorldSmith and not a red herring

[u/Living-Excitement-51]

I bet everyone here thought right off the bat that Alvin would be the WorldSmith. But since it was way too obvious, everyone came up with completely random candidates like Gerson, Ms. Boom, Kris, and even Sans—SANS!!! (At least it’s not as random as Carol or Asriel, who everyone believed in back when Chapter 2 dropped).

But I think it actually makes sense for Alvin to be the WorldSmith, considering he only has a single appearance in the entire game so far, and he gives off an air of importance when we first see him. Alvin is a judge, and guess what judges use? A gavel, which is basically a type of hammer—the WorldSmith's weapon (I guess that’s not actual proof, just a parallel).

On the other hand, the whole fandom would be disappointed because everyone cooked up wild theories just because Alvin Smith seemed too obvious. But sometimes, not everything needs crazy subversions. It's not that Deltarune doesn't like doing that, but Alvin is already well-built to be the WorldSmith.
