I'm talking about the Mad Hatter, the Duchess, the Great Centipede, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the Jabberwocky, and the Red Queen. The lore behind them and their designs are really interesting, especially the ones who reappeared and had huge changes in Madness returns.

But knowing that any other peoples enjoy this series too, makes me happier because it totally deserves some love! Think of the work that went into these games! The artwork alone is gorgeous. It captures some gothic fantasy elements---that very whimsical nature---even the old original movie version couldn't quite capture. The animated version also seemed more dreamlike. However, in these games, they took that concept and dialed the gothic horror up to 11. It speaks to that Tim-Burton-Style my inner child ate up while watching his movies.

    It could be seen as smashing the fragile, hollow identity that holds them together and gives them purpose inside the crumbling Wonderland. Probably why the Dollgirls don't actually speak in game and at the very end the children wandering the street are just faceless shadows: because Bumby has stripped them of their identities in order to rebuild them as compliant toys for his clients. Toys don't have voices of their own. They don't have feelings or passions or any emotion of their own at all. Force a human into that state and you get a cold, stiff, blank visage staring back at you. Of course the Insidious Ruin in Queensland are the same model but textured to make it look like they're made out of meat so I suppose there's also an element of "they're made that way because that's what's conveniently available in the environment." And since I've already started I guess I'll just go ahead and talk about the Dollmaker's tongue. Black gooey thing with doll faces on it, right? It's both the source of Bumby's power over people and a vision of what he intends to do with the children under his care. Making the tongue a literal snake probably would have been a bit too unsubtle as to how Bumby is a silver-tongued fiend hiding a whole lot of rotten ugliness beneath a genteel exterior.

    This is really good. Thanks for explaining! Tbh it was really satisfying seeing that grotesque mass of a human Dr Bumby get his comeuppance from Alice. Not only does she save herself, she saves and gets Justice for the countless young children who were victims of this horrible man. It’s always a hard to talk about but I felt that Alice Madness Returns did a good job of shedding light to these kinds of situations that we think are unbelievable but are very very real.

    Indeed! And it's also amazing how after all she's been through, Alice doesn't only care about herself either. You see the Wonderland characters actually blaming her for the fact she was too carried away to notice and help kids she lived with - and we all know that it's actually her mind screaming at her at these moments. Maybe it's even more understandable though, she had been horribly traumatized at a young age, she actually KNOWS how awful this whole situation is.

She's still delusional, and probably still dangerous (hinted at by the story told by the policeman as he releases her from gaol). Its main effect is to save the children who won't now be future victims, the ones who don't even know what they've been saved from. That's where Bumby's death really makes a difference.

Both of these ideas were scrapped, however these two still appear in the Extra Content section and in The Art of Alice: Madness Returns.

And he also has a ring around this same finger. Does it mean he was married? And why is he missing it in the boss battle?
