Watched all of Centaurworld while recovering from having emergency appendix removal, and honestly the show was weird enough that I had to google characters after I was off pain meds to make sure the show wasn't a product of said pain meds.
But I loved the show, and the villain was fantastic. 10/10
Both a version with text plus a slight color shift effect, and without either.

So I binged Centaurworld and have spent the last week processing and need to get it out of my system because I havent seen anyone else with this take -
I find it weird that the crimes of the General and Elk are laid at the feet of the Elktaur. After the split, the Elktaur no longer existed; the Elk and General may have each encompassed a half of who he was, but became separate entities by splitting.
The Elk and General were of the Elktaur, but weren't themselves the Elktaur. It's entirely possible I'm digging too deep into what was meant to be a Y7 kids show, but it really bugged me because intention, potential, and action aren't the same things. The Elktaur may have always had the potential to become what the Elk and General did, but he didn't commit any of the actions. Because he no longer existed. We can argue about intentions all day long without getting anywhere; partly because the show never really got into that aspect, but mostly because, in the end, what matters is action. You can intend to cause hurt without ever actually doing so - intention and potential do not make one evil/ a criminal/ etc.
Like, if I clone myself and that clone goes on to become an interdimensional war criminal, am I supposed to be punished as well? Of course not - the copy was me, until it wasn't.
This is a classic Mind-Body Problem and fits the scenario around the Elktaur - can his two component parts really be considered to be a single entity? But if they actually were a single entity, none of this would be happening at all. If we brought a whole version of the Elktaur to stand before his components, would he also be considered part of that conglomerate?
Is one not the sum of their experiences? How then, can two beings with very different experiences be said to be the same? Isn't that why, post-unification, the Elktaur has two voices?
Just to be clear, I'm totally on board with the actual events of the ending - I think killing the guy was a mercy, but that's a different discussion - but I find the reasoning to be questionable. I blame Netflix and thier pattern of canceling shows too early for the writing team not being able to delve further into some really interesting philosophical conundrums surrounding the plot. I did enjoy the show overall, but the Elktaur and his pieces were by far the most interesting thing going on. I totally understand that the juxtaposition of wacky and serious was 100% the point, but that plot thread was simply too good - it made everything else feel like a distraction 😂

[CENTAURWORLD AU]
Coming back slowly to posting art, so how about starting with Kid!MW and Kid!Elkatur? What kind of adventures they goes to?
In my AU, Elktaur name is Brian (homage to the voice actors) and Mysterious Woman / MW is Daylisay, or "Day" for short.

I know you said that gemtaur is a prequel of Centaurworld (by being long years before the Nowhere King appeared) but what would elktaur reaction to Steven (a centaur) and Connie (a human) being best friends and that Connie doesn't mind Steven being a centaur?
He's. Questioning his whole entire existence.
