What Happened to Some Bosses?

[FoxyCyber]

Hi. So I wanted to make a theory on the Cuphead ending. In the final cutscene, some bosses aren’t shown. They may just be out of frame, but I don’t think they are, and I’ll say why later.

Anyways, the bosses not shown are the Root Pack, Goopy Le Grande, Wally Warbles, and Dr.Kahls Robot. These bosses are not shown at all near the end, and I think it’s because you had killed them.

Let’s start with the Root Pack. Although it’s harder to prove you actually killed the Root Pack, there is evidence from when you kill the onion. His death animation shows him all cut up. And even the potato, his death animation is him rubbing his cheeks like he was harmed.

Now an easier one to prove, Goopy Le Grande. In his third phase, he gets crushed by his own gravestone. There’s not much else to say, he had been crushed and died.

Next is Wally Warbles. It’s simple how he died. In his death animation, it shows him with X’s for eyes, and it shows two other birds pouring salt and pepper onto him, cooking and probably eating him.

Dr.Kahls Robot is also simple to prove. You can assume from the last phase the Robot is completely destroyed, as it had lost its body. There’s not much else to say, other than the Robot was completely destroyed.

And, to explain why every boss isn’t dead, the other bosses are shown in the end because you did not kill them. They’re death animation often shows them just looking defeated. It’s shown in the trailer Werner Wermen giving up his soul contract, and his death animation was just him looking defeated. So, the other bosses probably did the same.

Anyways, that’s just my theory. Sorry if it’s long, I just wanted to post my theory somewhere. And sorry if someone had already brought up this theory, I don’t go on the discussions that much here. Anyways, tell me what you think.

I support your theory, but I don't think that the Root Pack was killed. My theory of why they weren't in the final cutscene is because they can't move away from where they're growing. Because they are just vegetables and they don't seem to have any kind of legs, they are stuck to the ground and all they can do is grow and rise up to the surface.

Yeah, that actually makes more sense.

You just took an innocent game and made it dark. Good job. How do you feel?

This game about taking people's souls to spare your own, followed by fighting the Devil in Hell to save everyone/selling out to him and becoming his demonic servants was innocent?

Wally and the root packs were used to make a feast for the boys after their victory. Kahl is probably in the kitchen with his inventions cooking up the food for everyone. Goopy's a slime, so maybe used as a sauce, drink or dessert?

Probably they were not killed because they have to sign the contract after the battle and cartoon characters usually dont die with extreme situations. But just my opinion

DD. Dark and Deep.

To be fair on Goopy.... he's a slime and given the first Run N Gun level... slimes just kinda get back together.

Jesus.

Torn on wether to laugh that people have theories about this game or applaud this because it's so damn well thought out

[BaharrothBluu]

My opinion:
Root Pack: They were never seen moving except for vertically, so I'll go with "lack of mobility"
Goopy: I doubt he's dead, considering slimes just get up again, so I'll go with "getting his act together"
Wally: Yeah, he's "dead".
Kahl's Robot: destroyed but the good doctor has no real reason to celebrate considering that it was the robot's soul.
