It’s so interesting, I hope I don’t get razzed for this thought, but this feels like a sleeper Intro of a new Icon - considering that most of the other zones focus on Icons of the past, The Controller really stands out as a New Entity for the event (if your count the Pumpkin Lord as a mutated Nathaniel Crowe)… so there must be a lot of confidence in this character concept. Or maybe there’s some sort of tie of this character into the lore for… some other one? If it’s mind-control aliens, doesn’t it sorta feel like when Fear was the big bad and the rest of the icons were his minions?
Anyway, that’s all the Galaxy brain I have in me.
