		+	== "Baron of Hell/Hell knight" ==
		+
		+	In the Porridge Maiden 'toon, a particular one of the Doom II monsters is identified as "a Baron of Hell/Hell knight". In my opinion, this wording comes across as confusing without context - are these two names for the same thing? is it hard or impossible to tell? etc. To clarify, the issue is that ''visually'' the only difference is that [https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Hell_knight Hell knights have a different color] and since Strong Bad only drew lineart we can't tell the difference. Discussing the coloration of specific sprites is definitely too much detail for the "Real-World References" section on either cartoon, however I don't feel it's "kinda gratuitous" for a relatively more detailed page like this. I at least think a slight rephrase like "either a Baron of Hell or a Hell Knight" would be better (though in my eyes that still begs the question of "why 'either', don't you know?" from a layperson). --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 01:29, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
