I do KEEP thinking about cobel pulling a martin luther. I simply think that if you were raised from childhood in a cult and were utterly devoted to it and sacrificed endlessly for it for decades before being unceremoniously ousted, rather than question the foundations of your faith you might begin to think that the fundamental deified figure is just being twisted by the organization currently in charge. and then perhaps you might attempt to start A Movement of some sort.
which like. might be undesirable in the actual show because it would add a whole other faction to contend with. but there are elements of this kind of thinking already in the show—notably, burt and irving learning that kier and his wife met as coworkers and thus it couldn't be truly awful to "take heart" to your colleague, right?

I'm paraphrasing from a conversation I had with some friends but I really like the idea of Susan's death being a genuine accident, and we have some circumstantial evidence now that could support that. Her's was the first in the string of Bon killings, discounting Jack because we don't know how he died, and Edd & Molly because we do. Her's is also the only Bon's Burgers killing we don't see/haven't yet seen Shadow Man directly present for, which has always been an indicator that a character's death was premeditated. Charles' death could also count for this, but we *do* actually see a Dark Shadowy Presence looming around during his death sequence, it's just not as easy to catch as the other ones.
(About the 28 minute mark of TWF3, the animatronic Bon looking for Charles in the restaurant, one frame later, and then a couple frames after that.)
I tend to think of this idea around two different parameters: It was not yet known that Bon was dangerous, or to what extent he was dangerous, and/or that Bon acted out of emotion in a way that was and still is pretty unprecedented of him. In keeping with the idea that he killed Susan because she was hurting him, and acted out of confusion or panic. I think of this in the context of Bon likely being newly-possessed, and just barely beginning to grapple with his strange form of consciousness and sensation.
The way Susan's death is framed in BunnyFarm, it almost seems like he attacked her before she could even begin examining him, but you can see that she actually removed the entire sleeve covering of his right arm when trying to diagnose the issue with his mech:
(You can even see the blue sleeve missing on the little pixelsprite version of Animatronic Bon. This is visible in the above screenshot, too.)

ok funnn. disorganized thoughts, will have to percolate before rating for sure
I definitely felt most engaged in the final third—it also felt most conceptually scary to me then even if I don't usually feel Actual Fear in these watching experiences
relatable threshold for calling the police (only start even considering it once your friend has been attacked with a knife, and even then you're like "I mean we got the dude out of the car and left him on the side of the road so whatever")
filing this in the same category as the evil dead 1981 where we have a small group of young adults whose personalities are only kind of vaguely gestured at
NOT the finger sucking scenario I am looking for personally. really good foley for that tho
I feel like there are lots of cultural implications here both in the borrowing of vaguely indigenous elements for ritualistic arrangements of bones etc, and in the representation of a poor white rural family (notably all men except for the grandmother who I don't think ever moves)
