Ok, here's my idea.

The Guardians are not the villains, and here's why.

As a previous poster stated, they are defending Earth from those who would seek to destroy it. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of humans and exo, possibly some awoken, would be slaughtered by the servants of the Dark. I walk into an area, the opponents shoot first and ask questions later. They are moving to destroy the Traveller. In Cayde's Stash, Ghost talks about how fast the Fallen took over the Cosmodrome. That's not something that a good guy would do to a race that's clearly in self defence.

Also, I don't think that the Darkness is a physical being, in totality. I think there is some kind of evil, dark, ominous presence for sure. But, we can't rule out the possibility that it's more of a state of mind, or a religion. "I am a marvel with ten thousand arms," the description of Dreg's Promise, seems very religious.

Feel free to rip these arguments to shreds, if you want. I really want a response to this.
