The Bacteria is kinda goofy
I think it shows very clearly in this scene. From a distance, its design is passable. But once you look closer at it, you notice how goofy it looks and this particular scene always takes me aback. The only good part of its design (for me at least) is that you don't really know what you're looking at, and the fact that it's very hard to decipher where its face is, as humans generally try to assign a front to things. Captain Clark is so much better than the Bacteria.
That is to say, the rest of the short is masterclass and overall, this grievance does not affect my enjoyment of the short as a whole :)
