Dr.blakk - Blog Posts

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 love ROTE but one thing i'm kinda mad they never showed us is Blakk fighting the Goon in his mind to try and maintain control like they did with Eli in Ghoul From Beyond.

Like I get why they didn't because they needed to put more focus on Will Shane being not dead but it would have been interesting to see the different approach the Goon would have had to take to get Blakk to lose control since Blakk is A: not similar to Eli mentally at all and B: still conscious while in GFB Eli was knocked out

One thing I love about the ROTE movie is how like 50% of the time Dr. Blakk and the Goon are a genuinely threatening villain duo while the other 50% Feels like this

Warning: excessive use of capital letters

Yall we have got to talk more about what happened to Blakk after his second Deep Caverns visit because WHAT THE FLOP HAPPENED TO HIM

DID HE DRINK THE DARK WATER OR SOMETHING LIKE THE EMPEROR WENT SWIMMING IN THAT STUFF BUT IT WAS NEVER THIS BAD

like holy guacamole that transformation looks like it hurt. his arms have SPIKES GROWING OUT OF THEM not to mention his left hand is MISSING A FINGER

like did the Goon or Brimstone get a bit hungry and eat it before his transformation? WHERE DID IT GO

Props to Blakk for always having fabulous eyeliner even when he's been horribly mutated

How Wildbrain thought we would feel when they brought Blakk back for Slugterra: Ascension (it was only cool when they did it in ROTE)

TW: USA election results

Hell naw the 99 caverns are cooked 😭🙏

I couldn't think of a caption for this one

I like Dr. Blakk but...

"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
