Just an observation that might or might not be important:
Bendy’s “hypno” eyes are a physical emote that can be observed by other characters, not just an artistic choice. On how obvious this emote is, is unclear. Evidince: Cupheads portrait of Bendy from Nort’s blog drawn by Fly:
Even if the portrait was just foreshadowing and it is just an artistic choice, it’s an interesting one. These kind of circles aren’t usually used to show nervousness or someone just lying, more so hypnotizing.
This means a few things:
Bendy being hypnotized himself, by what just happened, by what he’d just done. The emotions being too much. These also could be just stylized spirals, in which would very much mean dizzyness (from being overwhelmed).
Bendy’s convincing demeanor, his preformance so believable that he "hypnotized" Boris, Mugman and almost Cuphead too.
This could mean the circles aren’t very, if at all, noticeable. Which would mean it’s just another ‘pointer’ in Cupheads vision, his brain’s way of visually showing that Bendy’s convincingly lying.
More foreshadowing. For what? One of the mind Bendy’s apphearance. I mentioned this in one of my other posts. (speculation)
While it could (and usually would) mean that he literally hypnotized them, I doubt that is the case here. There is no dazed expression on Boris nor Mugmans face when the shot shows them, they are just- understandably- shoked. Nothing more, nothing less.
But my point is if it’s a noticible emote of Bendy, I wonder how it will be brought up again and by who. If not, it’s just more stuff from Cup’s pov
OR
Foreshadowing (originally called mind Bendy #1?) Preservance!Bendy :} ..ofc implying that Cuphead could see the this specific side of Bendy and potraying it as the ‘hypno’ eyes in his brain (and on paper non-canonly)
((The mind Bendys from the og ask-blog, whom I both hate /j..but not rlly v))
What do ya’ll think?
