what is nitzschean human centipede i need to know

hii so i periodically look up the synopses for all the human centipede movies for whatever reason and on my last visit to the wikipedia pages i was annoyed that the 2nd installment invoked freudian implications. like c'mon the centipede as a representative phallic fixation? we— and by we i mean i— could do better than that. so enter my buddy nietzsche. in beyond good and evil he has this quote, "a man's stomach is the reason he does not easily take himself for a God." which i think is contextually about hunger separating us from gods. but i also kind of like to think of it literally and in reference to humorism since that's something i've been not-so-recently into. i think the creation of a/the human centipede sort of cuts off the processes of the stomach? or at least alters the whole bowel and food situation for the people involved yknow. so in that case what does that mean for the humanity of the people in the centipede? i mean obviously they're not really individual people anymore (which is also an interesting point to make? removing the organ/drive that humanizes us reduces us to a collectivist "mouthpiece" for the thing that controls us? many such sociopolitical implications). so does this nietzschean loss of humanity mean we achieve godhood? or are we just animal like the centipede? what does that mean about the creator of the human centipede, if they're able to cut off the function of the stomach? all questions that could be answered and fleshed out, so to speak, if the production company gave me the rights and a large sum of money
