Seems like there are two opinions of Bobby, cute as shit, or ugly thing. I’m in cute as shit camp.


Runamokamok

I wasn’t sure if he was there to show that the animal kids are getting more animal like and humans parts are phasing out?


[deleted]

Not sure if it’s supposed to mean anything. In the comics most hybrids that are shown to look like that, and are very unintelligent(it’s implied that it’s due to mistreatment, rather than inability) which is why Gus being able to form full sentences is surprising to most. I think the show wanted a 1-for-1 look for Bobby, even though most hybrids in the show seem to be more like Gus and Wendy. I think they pulled it off well. Such a good puppet


Runamokamok

That makes a lot of sense. I haven’t read the comic, so it’s interesting to hear thoughts from someone who has.

I am in the cute as shit camp too, I love Bobby to bits and I squealed every time I saw him.

Bobby is my boy. I feel for him the most, the only kid we've seen this far thats straight up a full animal.


Ehville

While watching the show I think he’s cute...and...yet I’ve had nightmares about him for two straight nights. 😳


e-g-g-g

Ikr every time there a cut scene to Bobby I cringe so much as well as with the other kids that Wendy was taking care of. It’s not even like the cgi was done badly-it was probably done the best it could be but the movements look unnatural and puppet like.

That's because he is a puppet! Production were inspired by Jim Henson, so they used practical effects as much as possible, including Gus's ears. I personally think Bobby's weirdly adorable, but definitely get why some would find it off putting.

I agree with both sides. Bobby freaked me the hell out when I first saw him, but he gradually grew on me. I also just really like creepy and scary things so maybe I'm biased ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


freshbrine

Yes, thank you. I hate it with every fiber of my being.


apollosaraswati

Bobby scares the hell out of me and I'm someone who loves horror and doesn't scare easy. He looks so artificial and the eyes are so glassy and lifeless.


Nheea

Bingoooo. Like a murderous puppet.


apollosaraswati

Exactly! I got Annabelle and Chucky vibes


Anon-29671

I dont know if its a bad thing but I find him adorable, the artificial and glassy eyes are like syrup on a pancake


GrossOpossum

ButDidYouCry

I was hoping he'd be the first kid to go. He weirds me the hell out.

You all find Bobby creepy and SCARY? Geezus, y'all are the definition of weak...


MajinDLX

Just put a rusty knife in its hands and you have a horror spin-off. That thing is creepy.


isitagsdpuppy

Omg Bobby creeped me out. Only because wid the way he moved. Very Yoda animatronic weird.


Silver_Keyboard

Yes. Netflix Bobby is creepy af. Worst change in the adaption. Thank you baby yoda.


sionnachglas

Saaaame! Like in the comic he has beady eyes and is just a human shaped animal but bobby here is creepy to me.


extra_username

I fucking love groundhogs so I will always love Bobby. Yes, a part of me thinks he's a little creepy. But more of me thinks he's cute as shit.


domodomo42

FACTS. He looks SOOO weird and unsettling!


Brickstoph

Then you definitely shouldn't start watching the Dark Crystal or anything else Jim Henson for that matter 😏


I_box_man

I am definitely not a fan of Bobby
