Mattrey Really Did A Great Work Creating Kenny’s Alter Egos Ngl - Blog Posts

So me and Vita were discussing our favorite superhero designs in TFBW, and I kinda summarized why I think Mysterion's design is so genius :D

First of all, the role of his design is different from others' – meanwhile you can judge other TFBW designs by how much they fit their characters, it won't work with Mysterion. It's the opposite!

His design is so great by how much he differs from Kenny. To put it more figuratively – its so great by how much it doesn't fit Kenny.

Despite the fact that by 14th season we already know that Mysterion is Kenny, it is his design that allows us still feel the mysterious edgy vibe.

We all know that he was first introduced way before it was revealed that Mysterion is Kenny. And yes, because of the fact how different is Mysterion from Kenny's "vibe", his identity remained a mystery for the viewers too. Also! At the first Raccoon episode (S13E2), it's pretty obvious that Raccoon and Mysterion were conceived as opposites. And it works with their designs too :D Raccoons design is very obvious to the viewer, and I don't mean the look, I mean the appeal – Cartman is Cartman, he doesn't hide his identity (I mean, he's bad at hiding it lol). When Mysterion...Is quite literally the opposite! This is probably more thoughts than actual facts, but I find this parallel soooo cool, and the fact that Raccoon and Mysterion parallel each other in everything.

Summary: I can't say that Mysterion's design is very visually memorable or pretty, but it's the best design at accomplishing its role.

(I love Mysterion sm.......🖤)
