Was not using this prosthetic makeup for the whole promo. Every performance, every TV appearance, EVERYthing.
It fits the vibe so perfect, its creepy, haunting, and enticing at the same time.
I know it would've been a lot of work, but it would have really made this era a whole lot impactful (not saying it hasn't been already).
the themes of excess and debauchery and hedonism throughout the art and the music do make logical
And he reveals it was fake the whole time at the super bowl half time performance

Now we're thinking we shoulda been on his promo team
tbh. it would have been wild if he looked like that in heartless and actually played up whether or not he got plastic surgery for SNL and all the early performances.
The red suit + bloodied face secured the visual legacy of this era nicely. Red suit is probably more iconic than the dreads at this point

Cause I feel like all that is just obvious like "Oh, its Abel with some red paint on his face"
But going as far as he did in this video with the mask, it pulls you in deeper to his world. Like a movie character does. As opposed to just seeing Abel with a headband and a bruise.
It wouldn’t make sense the story is he got f***ed up and got surgery and ended up looking like this

I mean there were people who genuinely believed he showed up to the VMAs after an accident, or genuinely had face surgery for the AMAs, etc.
But I feel you 100% fam, the surgery look is extremely eerie and matches everything very nicely!
Woat era

Right, they would've had to rewrite the story, where that all takes place in the beginning, and the rest of the story is him with his new face wrecking havoc on girls.
Would've been way better imo.
