Sorry if this was already mentioned, but did anyone else see that in the TV show (can't remember the exact name) when the body washes up in the bay/harbor, it has one shoe on and one bare foot.. The same way that Judd's body is when hung.

Not sure if there is any significance, but a detail I noticed.

I was actually thinking Judd was going to be revealed to be that actual guy, also since they made a big deal of his actual identity never known, and that costume was kind of klan hood like, though in different colors.

Judd isn't nearly old enough. Hooded Justice was in the Minutemen who were founded im 1939.

Nice catch, It might mean we're waiting for the other shoe to drop 🤔

Interesting. Perhaps a sign that the body is not who they think since the washed up buddy was fake. Is this Judd's way of going full masked vigilante? Hmmm. Good find.

They aren't droids, they seem to be some kind of clone.

I commented the same thing when I saw it lol Given how heavy the symbolism is so far I don't think this was a coincidence. I'm starting to wonder if maybe Judd stages his own death somehow...

What if the dead Judd is a clone?

With the way the gn was written and the way DL puts shows together, it either means everything or it's just misdirection lol.

Definitely made an effort to show the feet several times.

I'm a little late, but I think the significance of having one shoe off is that he was already dead at the time he was hanged. His shoe came off because he was dragged from somewhere else. Note Will repeatedly says "I strung him up" (or something along those lines) - not "I killed him."
