#it’s times like these where I feel like Failtopia’s MatPat

[rosetheocto]

From either season of Failtopia, what characters besides Hank and Mar do you think could have solid potential as the new Dark Lord/ Curse—or just as a general antagonist—in a hypothetical swap?

OOO this is a good ask!! I love theorizing about this series, especially the identity of the Mysterious Dark Curse Who Possessed Mr. Behemoth Screamith And Got Flung Aside And Died/Got Possessed(??) For Hank’s 2nd Villain Arc!!

I am 100% in on the Mystery Curse being Dr. SHOOK!! The only lore he had before being scrapped is that he canonically knew about the 4th wall!! and him being a forgotten character works flawlessly with Hank’s whole “Dan how could you forget all these characters/games you’ve played I hate you grrrr >:((” thing!! Gonna rq promote Gnome’s post on it since she explains it better and Mystery Curse SHOOK gives me life. also I think that if Dark Curse Shook is canon and Lanc comes back in S3, I can see SHOOK holding a personal grudge in a similar way Sharc-Chan did with Shrimp! Unlike Shrimp though, Lanc actually was meant to be a replacement for Shook! An unintentional replacement, but a replacement nonetheless. I think there could be some good potential for the Mystery Curse if Dan is smart enough to remember this super obscure character from the first half of S1 Episode 2 (which knowing him.. I doubt lmaoo), ALSO also I think that if S3 is modded (which it 100% will be) he could be the in-universe reason for it!! He’s a scientist so I’m sure he knows his ways to mess with the code of the world.. and him adding new stuff to this game is certainly a way to get The Incident’s attention :]

wow that’s a lot of thoughts I have for someone who looks like this

ANYWAY Kazoo Man could also be a fun twist! I don’t think it’s realistic at all but I think both the main villains of S2 being former victims of Mar could be a take with a lot of potential :0

As for hypotheticals, when Failtopia S2 first dropped and we weren’t in Neksdor yet, I was kinda hoping for C!Fail to be the Dark Curse! thank Kronkui Dan didn’t do that, but him and Mar mirroring each other would’ve been cool and I still think about it sometimes, it could be a fun AU!

And I mean even if the Mystery Curse is a new OC we haven’t seen before, that’s alright too!! either way this stupid blue piece of garbage (affectionate) is SUPER interesting to me and he got kinda robbed of his villainy!! Dan bring him back and my life is yours!!!!!! /ref
