Re-watched episode 5 of season 3 of The Adventures of Cat in Boots, and I want to point out something interesting:
1) The musical themes of Thriffith and El Moco are identical to each other. But it's important to keep in mind that the rhythm in the music probably applies more to Scimitar, since it is his theme that features heavy drum beats and a sound reminiscent of the clanging or clanking of steel. After all, they both share the same weapons, with which they both had no problem (logically).
Certainly El Moco has his own theme, and we've heard it throughout the seasons (it features an electric guitar, and a combination of Mexican and wild west motifs), but as for Thriffith it's… it's weird enough. Weird in the sense that it's often intertwined with the Scimitar theme, which makes it hard to know which sound relates to which.
If you leave out the evil sword theme (hello synonyms), Thriffith's theme sounds a little ominous, tense, and it's basically uncomfortable in itself. When he appears you can hear echoes of drums, a battle cry, and you can also hear brass instruments well, and the music itself is similar to those variations of villainous themes when the hero wanders into the lair of the enemy, or the enemy on the contrary surrounds the hero with minions (for example, you can listen to the soundtracks to the movie "Ultraviolet", as they just use something similar (especially "Chapel fight", "700 men" and "Unarmed")).
During the story of Goodsword, about how he and Thriffith discovered the old temple of Scimitar, you can hear multivoiced choral singing in the background. It is also present in the background during the fight with the cats.
When he repented and told what was really going on, the music was quite gentle and quieter. In general, the music in his presence depends on the situation, his interlocutor, and the place in which he is present. The rest of the time he has no definite theme. It's silence (there was also an isolated case when music denoted emotion, and specifically aggression and resentment, and this also contained the echoes of the trumpet).
In other words, Thriffith's theme has the sound of wind instruments or polyphonic choral singing, and it can be said that his musical theme combines several themes, as it is ambiguous and influenced by circumstances.
Anyway, I already told you that El Moco and Thriffith have one weapon in common.
2) Thriffith and El Moco appear in the same series, only in the same season.
It’s a pretty amazing phenomenon, bc, look, Thriffith is just as much a "villain of one series" as most other villain characters and its appearance in three seasons is justified as follows: in the first season - he’s the villain of the day; in the second season - he is included in the story, which can be considered a "record of the victories" of Puss in Boots (all the villains in it united in one mince, if I may say so); and the third season - he was supposed to be a warrior in the team of Puss, but, lmao, he is not really going to participate in all this, he’s tired of everything, just leave him alone, he’s been through an abuse and he needs a break, not all of this :D
El Moco, unlike Thriffith, appears in all seasons (not even because of his cameo Danny Trejo), and is a key figure as he is primarily the Bandit King and has a very complex story arc.
However, the fact that he appears ONCE in the entire third season is strange, as he is usually given 2-4 episodes. When he appears only once during the whole season, it is something like a rare phenomenon (at least it happened in seasons 1, 3 and 5), something that is not typical for his figure.
However, this is a very interesting detail.
3) Thriffit is "creepy". (who in this series is not creepy? : DD)
Okay, okay, let’s get serious. Thriffith is called weird for the third time. Or rather, the Duchess confirms that he is, to put it mildly, "out of his mind", or rather, she said that he is "a creepy weirdo".
Judging by what the Duchess learned from thieves ("villainy party" at which all villains must hang, including thieves), this confirms the fact that: thieves love to gossip and also contribute to spreading rumors, and besides, they discuss everything within their evil-thieving circle.
The fact that Thriffith is "creepy" and "weird" is his trait. It is known, perhaps he always was.
As early as season one, he said that Goodsword selects those who have "no killer instinct". Which means that Thriffith himself has a killer instinct, and he deliberately left Goodsword on his own. This man can actually slaughter anyone, and it’s just been a stretch. He’ll either apologize for committing the murder or not, and it all depends on his personal relationship to his opponent. So he may have chosen to kill for himself because it’s more interesting to live like this (perhaps) because murderers and villains have more authority in society than heroes who risk their position every day.
And we know that in the end he decided to retire because he was tired. However, this does not mean that he disowned his nature. He can still calmly discuss the murders or what he did while he owned Scimitar.
It is an interesting and mysterious character, in the end he is funny and he can win the audience.
