Why didn't the Mask work on Walter?
>>84152073
There was nothing in him to bring out.
>>84152073
The most common theory is that it's because he's a being of pure ID, so there was nothing for the Mask to unlock or work with.
>>84152073
He's already on the surface.
Look at the other users and you'll notice it's a restrained personality given purpose while with Walter, he's already on the surface so it doesn't do anything.
It releases one's deepest inhibitions they can't do. He already acts on them and can accomplish them.
because the mask only works in frustrated people who can not express their true selves.
walter is already a god in flesh with no emotion

All true answers.But mostly because his face is too big.
>>84152139
Best answer
>>84152139
This seems right considering the mask worked on Lobo.
>>84152233
Lobo was always restraining himself just slightly
Are these comics worth reading? Walter seems like a great villain.
>>84152139
That's what I thought for the cartoon.
>>84152382
Yeah he spent a long time on L.E.G.I.O.N.'s leash and he has a minor code of ethics
>>84152856
Yeah the early Mask comics are great
>>84152139
>He doesn't wear the mask because he's too big a guy
>>84152139
Wasn't there some Lovecraftian beast that wore it in the cartoons and it was bigger than Walter?
MASK story time?
>>84153443
Yes please.
>>84152073
I thought it was because his head was too big for it...fuck me, right?
>>84153443
Why all caps, Miles Mayhem?
Is there any feasible way to physically read The Mask? There's only three trades of the main series to my knowledge and the Omnibuses are upwards of $100.
> inb4 he pays for comics
>>84152139
Walter is a big guy.
>>84153202
>>He doesn't wear the mask because he's too big a guy
You kidding, that's the absolute best answer. It could've been any number of bullshit magical reason why the Mask doesn't work on him but the fact that, in such a wacky comic, it doesn't work for a reason as mundane as "It doesn't fit" is hilarious.
>>84152073
The mask brings your inner desires. He alread had anything he wanted. Pic unrelated.
>>84155938
What if he wanted to wear the Mask?
>>84155982
Well... He can't.
>>84155982
Then he'd have to strap it to his head and just have it rest on his face. Like a normal mask.
He can't wear it because there's nothing for the Mask to attach itself to.
>>84156112
theres a plot about this in a episode from ``the mask cartoon series``
something about stanley starting to act like the mask becoming their true selfe, them the mask stop working.
>it doesn't fit
It warps and stretches over the person's head. It could fit anyone, theoretically.
>>84156323
Yeah, but it didn't fit him.
>>84156543
But it fits a dog?
>>84156585
Milo's head isn't as big.
>>84152139
>>84152108
Then it wouldnt have worked on the joker, which it did in spectacular fashion.
>>84156677
PLANES, BANES, AND BATMOBILES.
>>84156699
No sense of humor, either.
Dude was a complete blank, basically a biological robot.
>>84153202
For who
>>84155525
4you
>>84156699
Wait the Joker wore the Mask?
>>84158247
Yeah. Disappointingly, it didn't bring out his deeply buried sane self.
>>84156699
I suppose that works on what interpretation of the Joker we're going with, because there's oh so many.
One could argue that the need to create jokes would require the Joker to restrain himself in some way, even if not the ways shared by society. Humour requires structure.

So MM used his psychic powers and didn't get messed up this time? Great job finally.
>>84153202
for you
>>84152119
How does someone with no emotion desire to do anything?
>>84152073
We never got Walters origin right? Always thought he was government experiment.
>>84152073
My personal hypothesis was always that the Mask either didn't like him or was actually scared of him.
But the idea that he already acts on his every impulse and has no hidden dionysic side is better.
>>84152073
The Mask is meant to release all the stored inner nature of a person, but to an extreme.
With Walter, what you see is what you get. There's nothing more to what he does or is.
