This is a tribute to Del Toro’s Pinocchio film. While Pinocchio didn’t look as bad as he does sometimes, he still wasn’t very smart and fell into a lot of traps. He’s not the kind of character you would usually want in your corner because at the end of the day he’s going to mess up. Alear is someone who woke up in a time that confused him yet he quickly got to business and took some names. That’s the guy you want to follow when in a pinch. Alear wins.
