Spoilers of course.

And I understand both sides of this argument. It was cut cause how are you actually supposed to visualize that scene- or more so change his character. Adding anything or removing anything from him can be so disheartening. Like you remove his eye color or add eye bags but your also saying those are not beautiful things about people.

On the other hand I get why it sucks being removed. You have a major part of his character built on him caring about his looks/appearance. You now have to remove the Kravitz scene with him later on and that scene is very heartwarming. And you also lose the angst of him no longer being identical to Lup.

But you wanna know the easy way to fix that entire problem and still get the same effects.

Have Lydia and Edward be like "we're gonna change your entire physical appearance. You'll still be you- but you'll have an entirely different appearance. You won't have the same face or anything you recognize or grown to love about yourself. You will be like an entirely new person."

You still get the same effects. You're not taking away the whole moment with Kravitz later on. You're still getting Taako sacrificing something that is very important to him. And everyone still gets the angst with him not looking like his sister. And you're not treading into saying certain aspects of people are not beautiful. He just looks like a different person entirely.

Cause imagine the body you've known your whole life and grew to love/appreciate is just gone. No longer you. You look in a mirror and don't recognize yourself. How heartbreaking that is. How it is still impactful.

I agree that scene would've sucked if they kept it as it was- but changing it slightly and still getting the same effects was entirely possible. There was so much lost in the suffering game it hurts.

He really said I'll protect you dads-

I don't think he could protect us from this but love the spirit and it was adorable ❤️

So when the big twist when Grey is revealed is even more heartbreaking cause Fitzroy feels absolutely betrayed and stabbed in the back. And Grey makes it worse by pretending he was just using Fitzroy and everything they bonded over and the closeness they got didn't matter!

It goes off more of the original idea of them having to prepare for this war. Where they have this battle on school grounds and The Thundermen work together to take down Grey.

If I may point out Higglemiss (hope I spelled that right) and Gray beefing the first episode is so funny to me. Is Gray just been sitting there for years waiting like 'this motherfucker will come out eventually.' Gray is so patient and yet the thundermen make him snap so easily.

He literally runs a school for 50 years for funsy. Obviously I know it was for this big war but like dude didn't have to do that. He could've worked more in the background but no he had to be the front man. Pretending to be his greatest enemy.

I've done it! I made a reference sheet so I can draw the thundermen! The top is the finale result and the bottom two were me testing colors :D

I fucked up the firbolg colors the first time 😅
