After the 15th time watching this, I finally realised that “what do you want” was the aliens trying to establish Paul as a protagonist in their twisted musical by getting him to share his ambitions with the audience.

And Paul was only turned after saying (about there being a chance at 'something more' with Emma) "I'd like there to be. I WANT there to be."

[@AnAnnoyingFan]

They're trying to force an I Want song!!! To establish the protagonist after the exposition/opener song....pokey is making a protagonist!!

[@jasonparker3925]

Depending on how you see it, it can either mean: -Pokey never knew about Paul until the moment he saw him, which gave him a target to toy with due to him not liking musicals or having major ambitions -Pokey knew about Paul through Blinky and decided to torment him personally -Pokey wanted to see what it would take to get Paul to admit what he wants and join a musical, I know the lines, “We tried to convince you with soliloquy,” and “There’s got to be something that’ll keep our hands off you,” might implicate that Pokey would leave them alone if Paul joined them, but in what universe would the lords in black spare Hatchetfield without total chaos? I’m sure they meant that they would take Paul quietly.

okay paul is my most favourite character in this musical so lemme gush abt him real quick because something i picked up on upon rewatching is how protective and brave he is when it comes to the ppl he cares abt like,, he seems incredibly introverted and like very much not a people person but he cares SO much about his friends. when he realises Emma isn't singing like everyone else, his first instinct is to take her to a safer spot of the coffee shop and tell her about what's going on. the moment Emma's coworkers start to get all creepy and musical-y he jumps out of his chair and is ready to run to save Emma at any second. when Sam shows up and starts singing he instantly grabs onto Charlotte, leads her away from her infected husband and keeps a protective arm around her for as long as he can. when Bill finds out his daughter is trapped at Hatchetfield High, he says himself that he knows it's likely Bill won't survive while trying to save her, so he goes with him. Paul has as much experience with guns and fighting singing zombies as Bill does, yet he still goes to be there to protect Bill as much as he can. when McNamara tells him abt the helicopter he's instantly asking if he can save Emma too, and even though he didn't ask about Ted in that moment, when he goes back he's instantly fully ready to save Ted too Paul is such a hero from beginning to end and i absolutely love the way he was written. he's not super loud about his confidence and doesn't seem like he considers himself to be brave, but he's so sure of himself as a person and the moment there's any sign of danger he's front and centre ready to fight even if he doesn't know how to because he wants to help his friends.

Paul wants Emma, he dies trying to save her, and his body is used to taunt her and kill her afterwards. And, Paul's literal worst nightmare and the one thing he absolutely does NOT want is anything related to musicals, and he's forced by this Eldritch creature to live the rest of his existence inside a musical hivemind.
