[@coralroper6876]

Here's a question: do Jekyll and Hyde have the same fingerprints, blood type and stuff? I know they're basically different aspects of the same person, but still.

[@Sam-bm6yf]

@Mayo Lane Actually, that depends on which version of Jekyll and Hyde you're going with. Book version, wrong, Hyde is a different age height and weight in the book. Musical version, correct.

[@pirothix8371]

@Mayo Lane he wants to believe its two different identities but its him

[@carianawaters6425]

In the book version he’s entirely the same person when he switches, but the body is what changes. Despite being the pillar or the community Jekyll struggled all his life with certain urges so he created a formula to alter his body so he could indulge in them. If you want to know more, may I suggest Overly Sarcastic Productions’ video on the book? In general I suggest their channel, they teach you things like literature, history, and myths in an entertaining way.

[@marenillustrates4497]

Anthony Warlow-phenomenal actor! Amazing voice, enchanting voice alterations, and has a way of drawing in the audience. But this young man in this video...he brought pain to life! I liked how shaky and scared he sounded in his breathing and singing. He made me understand how taxing the experiment was in his body and for his emotional state. Praise for this young man!!

So you did the same thing as I did. and I don't see how me liking gacha has anything to do with it? Do you just not know how to insult me so you mention a common interest people have???? Gacha is a common community, and people should have the right to be in it as long as they dont make inopriate/offensive Content. But you also seem to forget every community has those issues, but for gacha its just picked on more because where a younger audience. You have to right to not like gacha, I can respect that and it makes sense how you don't. But I'm not a lesser human being then you for a interest I like.

[@cloudyloudly2404]

I’m blown away from this. This is exactly how I’d imagine it, even if the actor is younger, that just adds to the performance! It actually makes sense, with how much curiosity and charity he had perceived! And the way he was singing while acting out being taken controlled was phenomenal.
