i loathe how hollywood movies portray him as this evil, terrifying god of death when he's supposed to be a comforting presence who guides souls in the afterlife. he takes care of bodies to make sure a smooth transition to the afterlife and fiercely protects graves, which i think is cool

@DANIELALALA he's not tormenting anyone, he's just a chill deity helping souls move on to the afterlife, and i love that

His design weakened a lot in my book after he wore Billy like a skin-suit. He never had as much aura as in Mortal Folly, when he was really just an evil, ancient, scary guy. It's like the rest of the show got darker over time, but they made him less scary every appearance, more cartoony. Don't get me wrong, his speeches go hard, but I wish he had returned to the OG look. I will never stop loving that intimidating, peeling mouth and those cold, freaky eyes under his tattered hood.
