(kinda long rant incoming also i use caps a lot here)
Slugterra try not to introduce a super cool character and then not develop them at all/ only have them in 2 episodes or less challenge (impossible)
*extremely loud coughing* Billy, Dana Por, Mr. Saturday, The Master Of The Game, The Gentleman, Blite, Quintin, Malvolio Drake *more extremely loud coughing*
ok but seriously why are there SO MANY CHARACTERS with super cool and interesting designs, personalities, fighting styles etc and then they show up in only 2 episodes and the only way you can get more info is in the character descriptions on the wiki.
for example, Mr. Saturday's character description from his wiki page
WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S FROM A SET OF CAVERNS WE HAVE NEVER SEEN AND HAS (allegedly) BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH DARK SLUG MAGIC?
literally the only thing we know about the tropical caverns is that Saturday is from there, that's it and the ONLY way you could find this character description is through the fandom wiki since the official website this was originally doesn't exist anymore.
this isn't even the only character description to namedrop an unseen cavern set, for C.C's character description they drop the western caverns and the fact that his family is rich.
i love Slugterra but the sheer amount of unique characters who show up and are underused/never expanded upon is actually insane
"the truth is, in this life... we only have ourselves" - Dr. Blakk in Back to Blakk
Hey Dr. Blakk a word of advice, maybe you would have more friends if you stopped being mean to all of your allies for no reason.
like broski, maybe if the primary motivator for all of your allies (not just the people you hire) wasn't fear you would have more people stick around until the end other than Maurice and Nacho (and Maurice didn't even join the final fight against the Shane Gang)
Examples:
Locke, Lode, John Bull, and C.C only want to bust Blakk out of Stalagmite 17 for the rewards.
Throws Quintin out of the Titan in Upgrade for basically no reason.
Sends Nacho to the deep caverns for basically no reason in The New Kid part 2.
Calls Mr. Saturday's mind control "mind control foolishness" after he CAPTURED THE SHANE GANG and TOOK OVER THE MOST ESCAPE PROOF PRISON IN ALL OF SLUGTERRA like my brother in Brimstone is it THAT hard to go ONE CONVERSATION without insulting someone.
there are probably several more examples of this that I can't remember off the top of my head.
I understand that he is the main antagonist but being this mean to your own comrades is just bad strategy dude.
Blakk's now probably ex-allies might not be 100% sure he's alive but the things they probably say about him in their totally real group chat must be legendary
Haven't made a Slugterra meme with the main characters yet so I had to lock in
Slugterra
Slugterra!
SLUGTERRA!!!
Mr. Saturday bless my soul lolLook at his face! I love him so much! Someone get him a smoothie!
Took me a while to find the original image for this one
Also im posting this like 1 week late but who cares (iIwas going to make an actual meme for pride month today and post it a week late for the funny but I got into a boss fight against a mosquito last night which lasted for like 30 minutes and only had enough brainrot power to bring this into existence)
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.
Has anyone else ever wondered what the music in Slugterra is like? is it almost identical to ours or is it like "listening to those remixes that are intentionally made to be bad but for them it's normal" kind of difference. Considering the technology Slugterra has I wouldn't be surprised if they had something similar to Vocaloid (at least in terms of the virtual idol concerts)
Either that or the Vocaloids are straight up real people in Slugterra
I will never forgive SIO2 for not having any cutscenes like in SIO1 because LOOK HOW COOL THESE ARE
and I can't forget my personal favourite
I MISS THESE SO MUCH SIO2 IS SO BLAND WITHOUT THEM
Also, I could play as Mr. Saturday without GAMBLING for MONTHS and I STILL DONT HAVE HIM
(also fun fact: in the SIO1 cutscenes Saturday only has an earring on his right ear while in canon he has one on both)

if anyone has any villains they would like to assign songs of their own feel free to mention them in comments or reblogs
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?
Eli x Twist
Will Shane x Dr. Blakk
Will x Thaddius (specifically when they were younger)
Kord x Trixie
Quintin x Katherine
Red Hook x Unbeatable Master
Billy x Trixie
Joules x Burpy
