okay my mind went down this hangster rabbit hole, but bear with me.
so we all know hangman's helmet is designed so it looks like a game of hangman (or hungman, if you ask glen powell lol). and rooster's helmet has a horizontal line going through the word "ROOSTER", as if someone's crossed the letters out. and what do you usually do when you're playing hangman and you guess a letter incorrectly? you cross it out. and the words R-O-O-S-T-E-R and H-A-N-G-M-A-N don't share any of the same letters, so of course all of rooster's letters would be crossed off if the word he's trying to guess is hangman.
so basically no one can tell me hangman didn't help roo design his helmet (because we all know rooster wouldn't know his way around designing a paper bag), and as a joke he crosses all the letters out, cause "you can't spell hangman with any of these letters, so you lose." it's meant to be a joke but rooster loves it because it ties their designs together in a cute and subtle way -- "but i can't lose when i'm with you, baby" -- like they're always playing their own cute game of hangman. and roo's always game for anything (adventures, missions, life, marriage), as long as he's doing it with jake.
And let’s not forget the lyrics to Great Balls of Fire which Rooster used to respond with. Also, right after he pulled the plug of the jukebox, which was playing the song Hangman said was a song he loved. If you wanted to get a guy’s attention, that’s it.
Like, ok, I get that it’s a callback to the original but Goose had Carole to sing it to. Who is Rooster singing this one to huh?!
“Hangman and Rooster aren’t gay they hate each other”
Okay then why did Hangman play a song with these lyrics in the second he saw Rooster again 🤨
