Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

Okay after watching this I think there's like a double meaning here: It's good to be nice to people, even when they fuck you over. But, it's also good to be careful when you give them what they want, because they might do it again. Ultimately, it will end up leading to their demise. What I thought was going to be a silly little animation was actually pretty meaningful. Super awesome.

Austin Dial They are meant to represent what he would be like without his crown, just another cave dweller like the rest of us, also they serve to add to his paranoia by there always being something watching him waiting to take his crown. He threw himself into the void cause he didn’t care about the afterlife or making amends with the other kings he wronged he only cared about the crown and he had it so why stay in a place where someone might take it.

[@mr.boombox5021]

I think it was supposed to signify that there is no mark of power down here. Death rules all and they must recognize its power over them. Giving the giant crown was simply a way to show that even with such a large sign of power, the double king held nothing.

[@nightperson1012]

Pretty sure the point is that the crown means nothing. Even though the Double King held so many crowns in life, he did not fulfill the duties of a king unto his people. He was a king in appearance alone. Agatha, however, is Matriarch of Death with or without her crown. It's purely symbolic, and in Double King's case, absolutely hollow.
