The handball scene was really well done IMO. It seems like a villain needlessly messing around with the main character, but you truly feel like this is an intense game that Courage NEEDS to win.
As part of my job requirements, I had to watch a program about Drugs and Drug Testing. They played Katz's theme over the survivor testimonies, and it was all I could think about.
And design as well. Katz has a lot of sharp corners, like the elbows, knees, ears, cheeks, snout, mouth and eyes. On the flip side, Courage's were more round to the point that he got 'noodle' limbs
@@Ttegegg what i mean with Courage having noodle limbs is refering to how Courage didn't have a discernable corners for elbows like Katz. Courage's limbs looks like one of those old cartoon where the limbs are simplyfied. Instead of having 2 straight lines connected to simmulate legs with it's knees, Courage's legs are just curved lines
You know, despite this being a "kids show", it's very good at creating genuinely intimidating, creepy, and unnerving situations and villains. The sounds, the voice-acting (Katz VA does an amazing job), the subtle (and not-so-subtle) adult themes, and the visuals all work together to create something special. Modern day cartoons/anime/movies could learn a thing or two from this show.
I disagree with the modern day animes and movies could learn from it Huge part of why Courage's horror works is because it's a silly cartoon with a silly art style We're so used to seeing silly cartoons be silly, so when it has genuinely good written villains, they become scarier
Kids were too young to know how disturbing this show is. The monsters were scary when I was a kid, as an adult it’s the themes, locations and plots that I find scary.
The voice acting and the dark theme song really made Katz seem more like a James Bond villain. Classy, well-spoken, subtle; until you do something he wishes you hadn't done.
0:30 This is the finest delivery of *"Œh NÖ¡"* I've ever heard. The dramatic stop of the music and then the shakiness in Courage's voice as he squeezes that out only for Katz to state the obvious lmao
Just now realizing Katz always plays a game with Courage right before he goes in for the kill because actual cats like to toy and play with their prey before killing them Damn
Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s being afraid and facing it anyway. And when Muriel is in danger, he always faces it. Courage is not a cowardly dog, he’s the bravest dog. Katz, mummies, alien chickens, weremoles, that relative of Muriel that shaved him. Seriously that last one is hands down the scariest situation Courage has been in. If you know what it was meant to represent, it’s worse than anything else in Nowhere. Even guys like Katz would be like “That’s messed up.”
That Last One being? I don't think Ball Of Revenge had specific Tumblr theories, it's just an episode where Eustace wanted Courage's ass kicked. Katz is willing to oblige.
@@thomasgooden its often thought to be a parody of the ol "creepy uncle" shtick, with freaky Fred being a ahem...a Little too attached to courage. A perv. Pedophile-- At least thats What i Heard
British* Katz isn't some cockney peasant with a drunkards tongue. He actually speaks with class, unlike most of the sordid descendants of the glorious British Empire.
When I was younger, I found him quite scary in my opinion, the fact he's not a supernatural being just a tall skrunkly cat. He looks and acts like treat to Courage, the voice, his theme song, makes him a cool/scary villain
At kids I wasn’t scared of him because you know he a cat and I’m fine with cats but for spider I fucking don’t like it, I don’t like how large their eye are at a kids
I love Katz. He's such a well-written characters. A softly spoken sociopath with a british accent. He also loves to drink tea. I love his interactions with Courage, every time he plays a game with Courage he always wins but he's ultimately defeated in some way. His first appearence was the best, it made him look more of a threat. Also love when he plays the game of the handball with Courage. It's so well done and the music that plays during it, is so intense.
Yeah and the fact that he scared my father's 3 cousins: Jair who was a cop for over 40 years, Hernando & Mirabel who were in the army for over 40 years, and my best friend's grandfather who fought in the Vietnam War(and they had torturous booby traps for the US soldiers) speaks volumes about how terrifying he is.
Katz is just like Albert Wesker. Never won against Courage (Chris) but always playing games, calm, sadistic and brutal to the very end. Capable of killing his enemy, but always toying too long due to arrogance and finally losing.
I read this after finishing chapter 2 of Resident Evil 5. My brother just got an Xbox so I gifted him the game while it's on sale and he's never played it before. Can't wait until the Wesker fight 🤠
Tbf he always beat Courage in the games they play, he always gets beaten because of an oversight. Great villain. Always brought the best out of Courage.
Katz is without a doubt the darkest villain in CTCD along with the Queen of the Black Puddle as both characters have strongly implied to murdered many innocent lives and show no remorse for their crimes. If you look carefully at the beginning you can see skeletal remains implying they were humans Katz fed to his spiders and similarly the Queen has a collection of human male skeletons suggesting she has seduced, kidnapped and murdered hundreds of men.
There are quite a few extremely dark episodes of Courage! Freaky Fred, the Zalost stuff, and I also think the last episode featuring Courage's parents is viscerally disturbing in a way none of the rest of the show ever really got. Im convinced Courage was canceled because of the vet episode, not the perfection episode. the idea that your parents could be taken from you is a horrific reality that is pretty traumatic to present to young kids. stuff like Fred goes mostly (hopefully!) overhead but the idea of losing your parents isnt so easy to overlook.

They really made him just as you'd expect a cat. Usually having that look of superiority, some sass, probably wants to kill you. More than I ever thought as a kid

that episode was kinda creepy, back when I was a kid, it always spooked me watching that. it's surprising to see how much this show got away with it, in terms of content. coz of the stuff they show here is very hardcore for a kids cartoon
This show is honestly pretty disturbing and I'm surprised it aired for so long. I thought my memories of the show were exaggerated but they weren't at all lmao
@A.N. 93 there are full episodes on TH-cam. They are region blocked, you can use a VPN to access them. Or if you own a pirate hat you can sail the torrent seas....
I love the voice acting for all the antagonistic characters in this show. That includes characters who are antagonistic but not necessarily evil ie the computer
I like the irony with Katz. He wants his evil plans to succeed using his cunning, his wit, and his skill, but he's foiled by violence and brutality (Muriel hitting him with a tennis racket, Eustace smashing up his operation as a wrecking ball, swallowed by a shark, lowered into a taffy machine by Courage, falling into a chasm caused by Courage's deliberate loud screaming).
Katz has a cool villain dynamic, he's cunning, sleek, stealthy and can put down anyone who he can capture within his schemes, but he's incredibly weak to direct damage, suffering heavy injury from just one strong blow.
Out of all the villains of courage,katz was definitely the most insane,he was trying to kill courage all the time.~ He's definitely the most chill at first,but then he reveals that he's actually twisted and pretty insane. His theme song,is terrifying,it's like complete serial killer vibes.~
As a kid i tought that Eustace was old and cranky but as an adult i see that he suffers from depression that led to anger issues, and often lack of emotions he was verbally abused by his mom and his older Brother i dont know how his father treated him.
As bad as I feel for Eustace, he has no right to treat Courage like crap or call him a stupid dog since Courage is way smarter than Eustace gives him credit for.
I could tell the difference in the staring contest immediately, even as a kid...Courage had his fully open from the start, your eyes dry out so much faster that way
As a kid with severe Arachnophobia back in the day, the first time meeting seeing Katz was just one hell of a head spin, because I definitely love cats and Katz!,
here's a 1 hour version, I hope it close enough! th-cam.com/video/QaFsj1BEGC8/w-d-xo.html (I actually attempted to do 10 hours but my computer almost crashed after trying to render the 3rd hour so I'm sorry it's not 10!)
I knew Katz was a great villain, but rewatching this clip made me realize just how scary he was, and it totally flew by my mind as a kid. When he comes out of the shadows saying "there's no place to run, and no place to hide" definitely hits you hard.
Yeah and the fact that he scared my father's 3 cousins: Jair who was a cop for over 40 years, Hernando & Mirabel who were in the army for over 40 years, and my best friend's grandfather who fought in the Vietnam War(and they had torturous booby traps for the US soldiers) speaks volumes about how terrifying he is.
. . . Why does he have to sound that dog damn sexy? Like seriously, that voice and that God damn smile and classic feline teasing behavior just sells his character so freaking good. It's velvet and silk had a baby that cuts like a knife.
i wish Katz was in the show more he was basically the anti-Courage and by far the most memorable antagonist of the entire series but i could say the same for so many characters from this series it was such a good series
This show gave me so many nightmares and was a teen when this show came out and it still freaked me out. But I could not stop watching it. It was just to good.
I remember as a kid, I was trully scared about Katz. Then, have that episode in the beach where he meets Courage owners. In that episode, Katz make a kind keys noise that he's carring, y'know? Then, one night where I was sleeping with my parents in a bedroom in my grandma's house, I remember waking up in the middle of the night, and just hearing that keys sound, just like the episode. I don't know if was just my kid's mind imagining this after a dream, and because Katz used to really scary me. But I remember that memory.
I love this show so much, it’s so special to me. It introduces kids to the idea that animation and horror is an art form. Its so raw and treats its viewers with sincerity, not dumbing down the dialogue, character complexities and interactions, and watering down the spook factor of it all. The Mask episode is one of the craziest things I’ve seen on television, not just kids animation. It’s so impressive
The show is so striking in its visuals too. Nothing over-elaborate, but the background scenery is almost always done in a dramatically different art style than the characters. The animators were so incredibly effective at creating unease just through those artistic choices. Surrealism at its finest.
Thanks a lot, after watching this I relive my childhood. Courage was hands off the best cartoon ever and it's a shame it ended. There aren't such good tv shows anymore, nowadays kids are missing out a lot. I made a short edit of Katz, using your 'Katz Motel' clips as a scenepack, hope this is fine for you (if you wanna check it out I'll be more than happy :D) Have a nice day! ;)

@@stephj505I would doubt this, but it would make sense, since Katz was the only realistic villain. People like these exist and maybe your cousins knew/saw people like these in their lives.
@@THETRIVIALTHINGS They actually knew quite a few criminals similar to Katz but his methods of killing people(feeding them to his pet spiders, turning them to objects, blowing them up in a submarine, etc.) are what gave them nightmares.
6:34 I think it's cool how the Cajun Fox and Katz were in the same scene along with the other villains joining with Eustace to beat up Courage. One loves to make sweets and the other wanted to make Granny Stew out of Muriel.
In the Katz Kandy episode I seriously wonder how Katz would react if Muriel just gave him the first place trophy, it wouldn't be outta character for her either
Without a doubt one of the most best villains in Courage The Cowardly Dog considering that he's a anthropomorphic red cat. Add to the fact that he appeared many times in the show makes him even more iconic and unforgettable.
Same! His screaming cracks me up every time. I never found this show to be scary. It’s hilarious. Even when I was a little kid in elementary, I found it hilarious.
it's actually on brand how Katz always suggesting to play a game before he kills Coward, considering how cats love to play with their prey before eating them.
I loved this character as a kid and still do now. The spider episode was the only few episodes I refused to watch because of my fear of spiders but loved any other episode that he was in.
I like how Katz twitched his legs like a spider being crushed XD very nice attention to detail, since he was feeding his guests to his pet spiders. I think they drew inspiration for that episode from an episode of "Monsters" where a married couple get trapped in a hotel with a giant spider!
I like the fact that the main humor and characteristic of Katz is that he is the polar opposite of Courage; while Courage is pure good, Katz is pure evil
He was some kind of supernatural entity that always surpassed whoever he was up against, always toyed with his opponents, and seemed solely to exist to torment people. He could be never be stopped or defeated, only slowed down, and only because he was never concerned to actually try harder. He always came back. Kind of like a little less potent *_HIM_* from the PPG.
Of all the villains, Katz was the most terrifying. Sure some of the others had a scarier look to them but Katz had a away of psychologically instilling fear into Courage and the audience hoping our bot makes it through. Any episode he was involved in was guaranteed to give Courage a hell of a ride to overcome. Katz was the best villain but Courage never fails 💯
Yeah and the fact that he scared my father's 3 cousins: Jair who was a cop for over 40 years, Hernando & Mirabel who were in the army for over 40 years, and my best friend's grandfather who fought in the Vietnam War(and they had torturous booby traps for the US soldiers) speaks volumes about how terrifying he is.
When courage threw Eustace onto Katz, I laughed when he started flailing around and when he said "I wish you hadn't done that", I legitimately thought "Oh damn, is....is he about to mess courage up" I straight up thought Katz was gonna throw Eustace offa him and start beating up Courage, lmao
I love Katz and one of the main reasons is how he’s basically the main antagonist Courage has to fight. (Other than maybe Eustace) His calm demeanor and silly acts make him fun but the music and talent from the voice actor genuinely creep me out.
"I wish you hadn't done that."
CLASSIC!!! 🤣🤣🤣
It's so creepy...
**Insert Courage Screaming**
AHHHHHHHH
It’s his recovery time from getting stomped out that gets me along with that quote. 😂

Did you wish you did not breathe too?
Does he wish he never done that lol

The handball scene was really well done IMO. It seems like a villain needlessly messing around with the main character, but you truly feel like this is an intense game that Courage NEEDS to win.
Totally agreed! Cats always love to play with they prey before killing, such a nice touch , well written villain 🤌
That was my favorite episode and I couldn't sleep for a week
That's real dramatic tension and buildup.
This music sequence made it perfect 🤌🏾(French kiss)

I always feel bad for Courage when he’s losing badly, but the villains in this show were so consistently amusing I liked seeing them get ahead.
Katz is my favorite villain. I think I fell in love with him the moment I heard his voice. I want cats to sound like Katz in the afterlife.
@@member-berry-bonbons1124 What an interesting thought.
I love that Katz is the completely opposite of what Courage is physically and mentally.
And design as well. Katz has a lot of sharp corners, like the elbows, knees, ears, cheeks, snout, mouth and eyes. On the flip side, Courage's were more round to the point that he got 'noodle' limbs
@@ShatteredGlass916 I thought Kats was the noodle one. With courage you know being plump

@@derlenx1097 Well, the reason why he's considered an archenemy is because Courage fought him the most besides Le Quack.
Katz has a cool villain dynamic, he's cunning, sleek, stealthy and can put down anyone who he can capture within his schemes, but he's incredibly weak to direct damage, suffering heavy injury from just one strong blow.
Definitely the definition of a deadly glass cannon. He is quite a double edge sword
Maybe that's part of the reason he keeps tiring Courage out first with his games.
Out of all the villains of courage,katz was definitely the most insane,he was trying to kill courage all the time.~
He's definitely the most chill at first,but then he reveals that he's actually twisted and pretty insane.
His theme song,is terrifying,it's like complete serial killer vibes.~
I'm the real life Katz.
No dogs, allowed.
He's actually one of the few villains who nearly killed him. No one can come close to him honestly
Quite realistic for a cat
Agree though he's not insane, he's a sociopath that knew exactly what he wanted.
Lmao 🤣
that beat when he comes out the shadows 0:39 heat
“A little sport before *DYING* dear boy?”
As a kid i tought that Eustace was old and cranky but as an adult i see that he suffers from depression that led to anger issues, and often lack of emotions he was verbally abused by his mom and his older Brother i dont know how his father treated him.
He definitely treated his wife like shit tho
As bad as I feel for Eustace, he has no right to treat Courage like crap or call him a stupid dog since Courage is way smarter than Eustace gives him credit for.
@@member-berry-bonbons1124yeah
I never realized until I was an adult how evil Katz was. He's like one of Courage most evil characters.
Not one of, he is the most evil because he's a murderer.
Well duh
He's fucking terrifying
I swear Katz intro has such drip and his background music hits.
I could tell the difference in the staring contest immediately, even as a kid...Courage had his fully open from the start, your eyes dry out so much faster that way
Dogs and cats. Natural enemies.
As a kid with severe Arachnophobia back in the day, the first time meeting seeing Katz was just one hell of a head spin, because I definitely love cats and Katz!,
Was I the only one thinking Katz was a half cat and half fox? No? Then I’m the only one thinking about it
If it makes you feel better, I kinda thought the same because I used to believe he and Cajun Fox were related based on their appearance
@@thestrangeandstupidone8116 WHOOA DAAAR!
I think I confused that one fox character for him once.
Probably because the fox villain had the same design
I literally thought the same thing for years. It inspired my OC design and Alias.
“A little sport before DYING, dear boy?” i fuckin love this guy
4:00 I would love a 10 hour version of this!!
here's a 1 hour version, I hope it close enough! th-cam.com/video/QaFsj1BEGC8/w-d-xo.html (I actually attempted to do 10 hours but my computer almost crashed after trying to render the 3rd hour so I'm sorry it's not 10!)
@@thestrangeandstupidone8116 You have my genuine respect for making the attempt
@@thestrangeandstupidone8116 you have my respect for trying.
Night at Katz's motel is such a banger episode
The scariest villains are the ones with the most calm sounding demeanors/voices masking their true twisted self.
I can't fathom how literally every single character in this show is inhumanely eccentric.
I'm sorry but how the hell is Katz not even wincing in pain from the neck cracks? Seriously? That does not sound healthy.
He’s like that
Nah if u ever had a good neck crack it’s like takin your first hit of heroin
As someone who pops his bones whether it’s my neck or my knuckles, that shit feels good.
Yeah Katz is a God. Gods don't feel pain.
He's a cat obviously that's why
I knew Katz was a great villain, but rewatching this clip made me realize just how scary he was, and it totally flew by my mind as a kid. When he comes out of the shadows saying "there's no place to run, and no place to hide" definitely hits you hard.
Yeah and the fact that he scared my father's 3 cousins: Jair who was a cop for over 40 years, Hernando & Mirabel who were in the army for over 40 years, and my best friend's grandfather who fought in the Vietnam War(and they had torturous booby traps for the US soldiers) speaks volumes about how terrifying he is.
All I can think of is "YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE. NOT FROM ME!"
A little sport before dying, dear boy?
A little spot of sport
Katz is the kind of villain who would probably serve great as leader of something much deeper
Ngl. Katz was one of the most terrifying characters on this show when I was a kid.
Katz Will always be One of courage's most feared enemies.
I just realized his solid red frame, pointy ears, and tail are suppose to make him look like a devil
5:04 that scared me a lot as a kid
5:08 that must have hurt and felt good at the same time
Same! That huge orange eyes! 😨
I love Katz.
. . .
Why does he have to sound that dog damn sexy?
Like seriously, that voice and that God damn smile and classic feline teasing behavior just sells his character so freaking good.
It's velvet and silk had a baby that cuts like a knife.
You just summed up my new found attraction towards Katz
I'm pretty sure Katz is British....
dot dot dot
Bruh, you a furry?
It's the same problem I have with the computer, they didn't have to make his voice *_That Sexy_* but they did. They knew what they were doing.
Katz is my favorite villain in this show.
Katz is worth of being a Top Tier Villian in my book. He gave me chills when i was young....
I like how Katz can take games like handball, dodgeball, and starting contests feel so intense. Like it's a game of life and death
Reminds me of a female Angelik H, single Greek mother 😉😉 😂😂
What's funny is Katz is always so chill
i wish Katz was in the show more he was basically the anti-Courage and by far the most memorable antagonist of the entire series
but i could say the same for so many characters from this series it was such a good series
I love how he's being so menacing and then wasn't expecting courage to throw eustis then at 0:10 proceeds to eat shit🤣🤣🤣🤣
True also most people write it wrong and i can understand why his name is written Eustece
1:57 It’s Go Time !!!
I rewatched this whole entire show not too long ago, I'm so glad that I had done that
This show gave me so many nightmares and was a teen when this show came out and it still freaked me out. But I could not stop watching it. It was just to good.
I remember as a kid, I was trully scared about Katz. Then, have that episode in the beach where he meets Courage owners. In that episode, Katz make a kind keys noise that he's carring, y'know?
Then, one night where I was sleeping with my parents in a bedroom in my grandma's house, I remember waking up in the middle of the night, and just hearing that keys sound, just like the episode.
I don't know if was just my kid's mind imagining this after a dream, and because Katz used to really scary me. But I remember that memory.
I love this show so much, it’s so special to me. It introduces kids to the idea that animation and horror is an art form. Its so raw and treats its viewers with sincerity, not dumbing down the dialogue, character complexities and interactions, and watering down the spook factor of it all. The Mask episode is one of the craziest things I’ve seen on television, not just kids animation. It’s so impressive
The show is so striking in its visuals too. Nothing over-elaborate, but the background scenery is almost always done in a dramatically different art style than the characters. The animators were so incredibly effective at creating unease just through those artistic choices.
Surrealism at its finest.
love Katz' theme song whenever he's on screen
Even when scared, Courage pulled off that dummy disguise
Thanks a lot, after watching this I relive my childhood. Courage was hands off the best cartoon ever and it's a shame it ended. There aren't such good tv shows anymore, nowadays kids are missing out a lot. I made a short edit of Katz, using your 'Katz Motel' clips as a scenepack, hope this is fine for you (if you wanna check it out I'll be more than happy :D) Have a nice day! ;)
Katz: Wish you hadn't done that. "Intense cool creepy music plays"
Dudes a Stand user I swear😂
Dude this show was WILD.
"Ready for a little sport before slow dying dear boy?"
"Uh uh!" 😆
A little spot of sport
This show beat the shit out of courage, but y'know why that was awesome? Because he never gave up, not once. He takes the punishment and keeps going.
The cowardly guts of his time😅
I love how Katz doesn't even acknowledge past encounters that much, and just calls him dog
I've always loved how dangerous Katz is. Everytime he appears you feel like this time Courage might actually lose.
Katz is British but his voice actor is Canadian
Mr. Worldwide
I remember vibing to Katz’s theme as a kid. It definitely suits his character.
Katz was the scariest villain in the whole series. The most sadistic and someone who actually killed and enjoyed doing so. The mermaid/siren too.
Yeah and the fact that he scared my father's 3 cousins: Jair who was a cop for over 40 years, Hernando & Mirabel who were in the army for over 40 years, and my best friend's grandfather who fought in the Vietnam War(and they had torturous booby traps for the US soldiers) speaks volumes about how terrifying he is.
@@stephj505I would doubt this, but it would make sense, since Katz was the only realistic villain. People like these exist and maybe your cousins knew/saw people like these in their lives.
@@THETRIVIALTHINGS They actually knew quite a few criminals similar to Katz but his methods of killing people(feeding them to his pet spiders, turning them to objects, blowing them up in a submarine, etc.) are what gave them nightmares.
I will always jam to Katz's theme song.
Also that one episode where all his villains teamed up on him was so sad, felt so bad for Courage
4:40 The natural RBF that every cat has 🤣
Reminds me of a female Angelik H, single Greek mother 😉😉😂
Okay can we be honest, when we were kids Katz was scary but today, isn't he crush material ? 😳
6:34 I think it's cool how the Cajun Fox and Katz were in the same scene along with the other villains joining with Eustace to beat up Courage. One loves to make sweets and the other wanted to make Granny Stew out of Muriel.
When his theme song hits 🤪😱
His British accent is so calm😭
In the Katz Kandy episode I seriously wonder how Katz would react if Muriel just gave him the first place trophy, it wouldn't be outta character for her either
Without a doubt one of the most best villains in Courage The Cowardly Dog considering that he's a anthropomorphic red cat. Add to the fact that he appeared many times in the show makes him even more iconic and unforgettable.
The perfect representation of how playful cats are when hunting their prey.
Courage screaming will never get old to me haha.
Same! His screaming cracks me up every time. I never found this show to be scary. It’s hilarious. Even when I was a little kid in elementary, I found it hilarious.
it's actually on brand how Katz always suggesting to play a game before he kills Coward, considering how cats love to play with their prey before eating them.
2:15 this would look very questionable out of context
I loved this character as a kid and still do now. The spider episode was the only few episodes I refused to watch because of my fear of spiders but loved any other episode that he was in.
If you're curious of the sport Courage and Katz played in the first clip, They were playing a game called Squash.
I like how Katz twitched his legs like a spider being crushed XD very nice attention to detail, since he was feeding his guests to his pet spiders. I think they drew inspiration for that episode from an episode of "Monsters" where a married couple get trapped in a hotel with a giant spider!
+Joshua Trujillo Did they get away?
@@PintheDog the wife did, but the husband died ):
That stare you make when the teachers pet is about to say that the teacher forgot to check homework: 4:34
I like the fact that the main humor and characteristic of Katz is that he is the polar opposite of Courage; while Courage is pure good, Katz is pure evil
He was some kind of supernatural entity that always surpassed whoever he was up against, always toyed with his opponents, and seemed solely to exist to torment people. He could be never be stopped or defeated, only slowed down, and only because he was never concerned to actually try harder. He always came back.
Kind of like a little less potent *_HIM_* from the PPG.
Of all the villains, Katz was the most terrifying. Sure some of the others had a scarier look to them but Katz had a away of psychologically instilling fear into Courage and the audience hoping our bot makes it through. Any episode he was involved in was guaranteed to give Courage a hell of a ride to overcome. Katz was the best villain but Courage never fails 💯
Yeah and the fact that he scared my father's 3 cousins: Jair who was a cop for over 40 years, Hernando & Mirabel who were in the army for over 40 years, and my best friend's grandfather who fought in the Vietnam War(and they had torturous booby traps for the US soldiers) speaks volumes about how terrifying he is.
When courage threw Eustace onto Katz, I laughed when he started flailing around and when he said "I wish you hadn't done that", I legitimately thought "Oh damn, is....is he about to mess courage up"
I straight up thought Katz was gonna throw Eustace offa him and start beating up Courage, lmao
I love Katz and one of the main reasons is how he’s basically the main antagonist Courage has to fight. (Other than maybe Eustace) His calm demeanor and silly acts make him fun but the music and talent from the voice actor genuinely creep me out.
Sad isn't it? 😔
3:34
3:01 of course the woman becomes a washing machine, of course...
