Somebody in the tags mentioned a scene i considered including in the original post, but elected to save for later for its own spotlight because i love it so much;
THIS scene, where Globby dumps Krei off on the top of the skyscraper in "Big Roommates 2".
The shot does a fantastic job of establishing how Krei sees him and what draws his attention the most—the neurotransmitter. The outsider perspective also serves to demonstrate how unnerving Globby is/can be; he doesn't realize it or have much of a grasp on the extent of his powers, but despite how goofy he is, he's still capable of being a threat.
He appears a lot less... well, put together, in his debut episode, as he doesn't have a handle on his abilities yet. As the series progresses his design becomes more consistently humanoid, or at least less creature-esque by default. I have a soft spot for how off-kilter his earlier appearances are.
big fan of these frames where the animators omit Globby's mouth
#bh6 globby#screenshots#once again posting at 3 in the morning. hopefully this is coherent#something about how he isn't at all trying to be unsettling here. the monstrous qualities feel genuine... he's just tilting his head up#in the way most intuitive to this form#i think about this scene a lot#how suddenly being stripped of the natural disconnect between mind and body manifests in him being all over the place#and less human in appearance#he can literally do anything he thinks to but that lack of limits and structure can be directionless and confusing as much as it is freeing#''yeah well nothing comes naturally to me :[''#he's a silly 'sub-par' villain and he takes himself seriously in his role but there remains a lack of understanding of his full potential#his powerset is insane he can do crazy shit and what he most gets a kick out of is turning himself into chocolate. i love him#i think one of my favorite parts of his character is how much of an... average guy he is. at heart. like of course he's a freak but#he's limited only by his imagination and it just doesn't occur to him to do a lot of thibgs. he finds out he can shapeshift the material#he's made of completely by accident. he could easily be the most successful/dangerous supervillain in SF but he doesn't think to or want to#he uses his powers to steal coins. from fountains. and parking meters. he's such a dork. fantastic combination of human + nonhuman#glob rambles
