- TriviaAfter Cuphead tells Mugman in 'CarnEvil' that he isn't too worried about the Devil taking his soul, the opening dream sequence reveals that he's more scared than he's letting on.
- Quotes
[In Cuphead's dream, Mugman peels a pancake off a wall, which reveals a monstrous face that wraps its tongue around him]
Mugman: Cuphead, save me!
[Mugman is swallowed into the wall. The face disappears]
Cuphead: Mugman!
[Cuphead pounds the wall]
Cuphead: Elder Kettle, help!
[Elder Kettle turns around as a skeleton. He falls apart and his skull rolls to a stop, before blowing a whistle through its nose. Cuphead screams]
Cuphead: No!
[a sinister goat breaks in and crushes Elder Kettle's skull]
Devil: Remember me?
Cuphead: [terrified] Yes. I think of you often, goat from the front yard.
Devil: Your soul is mine!
[Cuphead's soul spirals into a void. Cuphead wakes up screaming and sweating]
Cuphead: [with desperate superficiality] I AIN'T TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT!
Mugman: [from the top bunk] You had the dream again, didn't you?
Second, Mugman may be timid and meek, but has incredible courage when facing the Devil. We're seeing this character reaching the limits of his patience and finally decide to take action.
Third, my small issue is that the world, at a first glance, seems too Christian. Randomly having the Devil as a character, let alone the main antagonist, is one thing, but the episode 'Ghosts Ain't Real' shows there's a church there. Until now, we had yet to see any other religion or anything secular. In this episode, we're introduced to Quadratus, who, like many of the show's other characters, is a character from the game. He's a mystical spirit in a rock pool who in the show gives sage advice on how to beat the Devil. Maybe I'm reading too much into things, but this is the point in the series where religion and secularism intersect.
I'd love to see this show expand on the theme of spirits, and do it in an entertaining way.
Also, any show that has a character blowing a raspberry at the Devil is doing something right.
