Neither disappointed Nor surprised with the specification like the antithetical villain here isn't in the "guess i was born antithetical like that, oh well" vein to have to be defeated as [concept incarnate] but rather the "sure, i used to be like you" kind where like a bit of versus (potential) self then in this not meant to be interpreted as peak literal story where then it's about not just getting to answer "how do i be Not That" with "well i guess i was born different, i can't be anything but inherently different from my antagonist villain & just have to physically win a battle" & where like, you're just never gonna get a "could Never be me in even any Ways or Aspects. i'm intrinsically different through & through" character in a joe iconis musical & like certainly not deliberately with some major character who's even meant to be the just like, you know, villain. but which is then also interesting in the lack of Just "oh that villain is Always the opposite of the hero in whatever ways or vice versa" or any other particularly clean & inviolate boundaries between them. both Walking A Road, the musician does just kind of up & go "i Will get my sidekick" & not accept anything else & do another musical homicide. lo cocodrilo doesn't do anything particularly heroesque but while doing all the outright villainy things there's the somewhat more grounded aspects & just expressing emotional range at all & the potentially sympathetic elements there just as that evidence like, not an The Opposite Of You / Was Never Like You / Am Not Even Now Nothing Like You situation, which makes him more relevant to an emotional arc to the whole story rather than just like. the practical obstacles. all that is leadup to me being like what would this backstory musical be like lol imagine. however just now i listened to "never heard nothing" again post bsol like okay like bit of Lo Cocodrilo in there potentially lmao. as per the whole "but that's where you're wrong, junior" "mine is just uglier" I'm Just A Potential Version Of You ocity of it all, which, thank god

#like i mean. just Inherently Different / Could Truly Never Possibly Be Me engagement w/a villain like. okay #just wouldn't make anything about that villain relevant to any emotional aspect to this Find The Bastard journey #including like; well nothing the villain could do or say that wasn't like Ah my peak villainy as always just cuz i was born that way shrug #i.e. that would not be relevant either. like when even in bmc we again have an outright Villain (if at first not necessarily villain #antagonist that also isn't even overtly the antagonist. at least partially lol) who is also Not [i used to be just like you] lol #but all the same like; the most Symbolic character vs bsol everyone's more symbolic like that #and just able to both be this facet of Voices In Your Head but also feasibly ofc still interpreted as a character & nonzero sympathetic #while even then being. well a funny little guy in ways too lol But more overtly menacing as per the relatively dispassionate...ness #forgetting like oh yeah ewm squip lol i do not know of him but i'm quite sure it wasn't like ah Warmth or even so much ah Fieriness #lo cocodrilo kind of actually both indeed warmer & fierier at the relevant occasions. only ''cold'' in his Ruthlessness quotient #tangent going wherever it's gonna go....also great we never hear like Directly lo cocodrilo's ''literal'' in-universe music #i was like hm wonder what it would be like but like No. we shouldn't hear it lol absolutely correct to only hear it in the Musical's music #tl;dr going ''what would a song about lo cocodrilo like in that Not So [oh my god could never be me] Origin way be like''#listening to never heard nothing like hey lol :) 🐊 he really did tell them die #also truly like whatever is going on there with henchman steve. kind of exquisite doomed villain/henchman glimpse like ah #doomed b/c like; the villainy. hug it out #bsol #& again like well apply whatever lenses anytime. they can't stop you. & they're going Yeah Go For It #even got the fun of the really like Insistent Beat punches heartbeat broken out sometimes. it's like turkey leg out here ish #anyone heard of this? iconis songs?
