Random tangent incoming but one thing that always fascinated me about Saturday's character is that he doesn't seem to have a clear role in Blakk Industries.
Like C.C was a well-respected slinger so he was likely recruited to raise the general opinion of Blakk Industries, Nacho is an enforcer which I assume mostly means he scares people into giving Blakk what he wants, Twist is Blakk's apprentice, and the large group of mercenary characters Blakk recruits in the trade (which includes Locke and Lode) are most likely either there to A: raise public interest in ghouls kinda like what C.C is there for or B: to do tasks for Blakk that aren't important enough to do himself or send Nacho to do but that he can't just send one of the random unnamed guards to complete.
But Saturday's whole thing is mind control which could be useful to Blakk but Saturday seems way more interested in using that power for his own gain. After all, Blakk wouldn't have any use for the stolen big screen TVs or couch cushions from Caverna Mall
Not to mention Saturday has some lines suggesting that his role in Blakk Industries might be a bit more complicated like "Blakk may have given me the ghoul tech, but I work for no one but myself" in Dawn of the Slug or when he says "I am a business man and this is strictly business!.. although I am running a little low on ghouls Dr. Blakk." after Eli calls him another one of Blakk's minions
I'm probably thinking way too hard about this but I am curious to hear what anyone else might think about this.
I think one of the funniest parts about Saturday is that on top of everything in the show that never gets fully addressed, like how Saturday seems determined to deny that he is working under/for Dr. Blakk is how his character description from the fandom wiki drops that he is from the Tropical caverns (which are mentioned nowhere outside of this description) and that there are rumours of him experimenting with dark slug magic and they just leave that there and never elaborate
Going back to Blakk’s goons what are your thoughts on Mr.Saturday for me I think he’s a neat villain. What about you?
Mr. Saturday was an interesting character with cool ass lore that got turned into a gag for the sake of plot-
I mentioned this in tags once, but 'Dawn of The Slug' Saturday would have not fallen for Eli's bluff in 'Mission: Improbable'
Mr. Saturday is objectively smart and had it not been for plot reasons Eli, Trixie and Kord would not have been able to pull the shit they did during 'Mission: Improbable' and would have been turned into hypno-zombies till Blakk arrived. Because you would think after what happened in Caverna Mall, Saturday would have been more cautious when dealing with the Shane Gang
Saturday is also supposedly from a secret southern cavern or something along those lines, and that opens a crap ton of questions???
All in all, Mr. Saturday is cool, I like him. But given his unique role, i get why he wasn't used more.
I say they only Kind of added it because while the one they added looks exactly like the Wild Spectre VD (the official name of Saturday's blaster) the one they added is called the Spectral Staff and according to its description, is a replica
What strikes me as odd is with all of the other blasters that specifically belonged to villains (C.C and John Bull) or neutral mercenaries(Frost and Flame), the names are unchanged and will say something like "was once wielded by (insert name here)" so why is this one specifically singled out as a replica with Saturday's name unmentioned?
Does this mean that the location of Saturday's blaster is unknown and the rest have been taken from their respective owners?
is it only a replica because Saturday is being added as a boss at some point and both allowing the player to fight him with his own blaster or taking away his iconic one wouldn't make sense?
Who made the replica and why?
"zombies showed up about 12 hours ago grabbing people and hauling them away" Millard Milford at about 4 minutes and 16 seconds
HOW HAS SATURDAY BEEN THERE FOR 12 HOURS
WHAT WAS HE DOING FOR 12 HOURS
Like when Pronto first gets grabbed and dragged to Saturday's base (the food court) he's just chilling on his throne
Unrelated question, WHY DOES HE HAVE HIS OWN THRONE
It's even designed to resemble his blaster so it's probably custom
How much is Blakk paying this guy
Was Saturday seriously just sitting on his throne doing nothing for 12 hours prior to the Shane Gang showing up
No wonder he asks the zombies to bring him more cushions and big screens that throne looks uncomfortable as hell and he's BORED OUT OF HIS MIND
throne and blaster for reference
(Side note but the throne is actually like super cool)
Kinda off-topic but I REALLY like Mr. Saturday's SIO1 design I wish they did him justice in SIO2
Dr. Blakk 5 milliseconds after finding out Mr. Saturday let the Shane Gang out of Stalagmite 17 because he wanted a smoothie
MY EMPLOYEES ARE ALL MORONSSS
WHY IS HE IN THE DEEP CAVERNS IN SLUG IT OUT 1
