* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Discussed. Spoony makes it clear that while he mocks Bray Wyatt the ''character'', and the lame material he's been given, he has nothing but respect for Bray Wyatt the ''performer'', who's clearly throwing himself into the character and trying his best to salvage said material through "writing a more interesting story in his head."
