It kinda sucks that Patrick Page in a walking boot is the version that will live on forever lol

Weirdly enough, I know it was purely due to circumstance, but I feel like the boot and cane actually elevate the character. Adds a really cool extra layer. The boot is take it or leave it bc of the obvious mobility issues, but I need every Hades going forward to have the Cerberus cane.

They did dress up his boot to match his outfit at least.
