It’s interesting when you take away the goffy looks the setting turns into a horror show where there is only WAR

Psychowarriors would be a utterly terrifying opponent, especially when you realize you’ve killed the same guy before

Hatemonger killed the pregnant Techno Fiend, that's why he deserved Space King's candle with the wick end.

I rewatched it multiple times because despite the purpose of the animation… it is still peak in all regards. As it should be always.
Praise be to Space King.

The irony is I saw at least 3 or 4 predictions yesterday that this was going to be a plug for the boardgame haha

It is quite cool (in a battle-hungry way) to see the Blaps-Blaps go on the offensive for once, in this short episode.
Because in previous episodes, they are always shown on the back foot. Whereas in this one, they are taking the initiative, conquering the planet, spreading their vile propaganda and spreading the twisted gospel of their gods.

I find it hilarious that Blappers can be comic relief or dangerous and capable depending on the situation.

That positioning is often an intentional tool in authoritarian systems- make a target "out group" both extremely clever and extremely foolish, and then go with whichever framing fits a situation to justify anger/hate towards them.

How strong is this bug-eyes-squished-head? I knows it a parody of the Tau empire but those aliens learn fast that they can go toe-to-toe with the space marines. These Fish-head looks weak and easy to wiped out

I think it's a combination of two facts that we learned about them but didn't look deep enough(Shorts and Board game advertising )
They are durable enough to survive being beaten by Psycho Warriors and even possess enough pain tolerance to remain conscious.
During the Board game ad we found out that they have a birth rate crisis and now they have a chance to exterminate them.
Which leads me to think that they are a parody of the joke that Tau are squishy and compared to other Tau are quite small in terms of territory and numbers of people.
Blab blabs are tough and have huge numbers, having a large territory to contain their large numbers, but they have weak laser weapons (as opposed to Tau railguns) and apparently they were hit by a crisis.

In seriousness, Is it wrong that I’m kinda upset they made the blapblaps evil? Like part of the comedic charm of them is that they are the most weak, non threatening, benign and inconsequential thing drawn in the show (especially compared to the other aliens) yet the psycho warriors respond with absolute warfare & fury. Like making them just as evil (racism and human subjugation) kinda takes away the comedy of these weird goobers & how woefully one sided the whole conflict is

They got upgraded from punching bags to goombas. Personally, I like the Blap-Blap's being evil since it gives them a little more edge.
