I’m not sure if this counts as a spoiler but I marked it as such, just in case. After watching the first ep of season 2 a few times, I started wondering why didn’t Angstrom ask Cecil for help with his project? He’s not doing anything evil/unethical. He has a good idea that could potentially work and solve a lot of issues across dimensions, so I don’t think Cecil would decline. They could then just use the Mauler twins in exchange for more comfortable prison environment and better food or cutting their sentence in half or something like that. The only reason I think Angstrom might not want this is because Cecil would have him " on a leash ", but even then, it’d be the path of least resistance and bloodshed. Is there something else I missed or a canonical reason I didn’t realize?
Because angstrom is an asshole with a messiah complex. The mauler twins were right when they said “why don’t you just ask them questions”. He absolutely should have been putting experts of each dimension in contact with one another, but he had to be the one in complete control.
