:
I disagree. For one thing, the entire Mudokon head on a stick would be far too large to package and sell. And what would happen to the rest of the Mudokon body? What's more, I like the more cartoony image, because it looks more glossy and marketting-y. Like the Glukkons are trying to hide the horror of what they're doing through cutesy product design.
I would agree with this in the grand scheme of things, but I thought that the head-on-a-stick design had far more of a dramatic effect in that opening scene and made it so explicit to Abe and to the player what the Glukkons were actually doing, which I thought was completely appropriate for establishing the mood of the game at this point where we know nothing about Oddworld.
