In Netflix's Wednesday, Tyler Galpin is the Hyde monster, not Xavier Thorpe, though Xavier was a red herring designed to mislead viewers with his own art hinting at the Hyde. Tyler's transformation into the monstrous Hyde was revealed in the Season 1 finale, manipulated by Laurel Gates to terrorize Nevermore Academy and get revenge.
And it all leads to Wednesday's shocking discovery that her pseudo-boyfriend, local barista Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan), has been the Hyde all along — with her “dorm mom” and science teacher Miss Thornhill (Christina Ricci) manipulating him as his master.
Last season, Xavier was mistakenly identified as the killer Hyde, leading to his father transferring him to another school. This not only explains Xavier's absence but also serves as a plot point for Catherine Zeta-Jones' Morticia Addams...
Tyler Galpin, also known as the Hyde, is the secondary antagonist of Season 1 and one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Francoise Galpin) of Season 2 in Tim Burton's Netflix series Wednesday. He is the son of Sheriff Donovan Galpin and his wife Francoise Galpin.
After Thornhill revealed the truth to Tyler about his mother being a hyde, he unlocked his outcast nature. As he was manipulated and subjugated to torture and brainwashing under Marilyn Thornhill's plant cocktails, his primal subconscious as a hyde gained more control than he had over himself.
At some point in his life, Donovan met Francoise Night, a former Nevermore student who was a hyde. They both fell in love and got married, However, Francoise never told him about her condition as a hyde.
He is, as Dr. Jekyll himself puts it, "the evil side of [Jekyll's] nature" brought into existence by a mysterious drink created in Jekyll's laboratory (Stevenson 55). Mr. Hyde is the embodiment of unfulfilled desires and experiences that Jekyll must forgo in order to be a reputable member of society.
After Francoise died from unknown causes, his father, the Sheriff of Jericho, began neglecting and distancing himself from his son as he feared that Tyler might have inherited his late mother's Hyde nature.
Tyler's "Wolf Haley" alter ego is apparently heavily inspired by Eminem's alter ego Slim Shady. "Haley" has been said by Tyler to be the last name he wishes he had, since "Okonma" belongs to his absent Father.
When Hydes are unlocked, they can be volatile and exhibit violent and aggressive behavior. It is frowned upon to unlock a Hyde, as a Hyde's agency and autonomy are taken away. Because of the unpredictable and sometimes violent nature of unlocked Hydes, they have been banned from Nevermore Academy for three decades."
Before the events of the series, he got assaulted by Tyler Galpin and his friends, who also destroyed one of his murals. Tyler was then sent to bootcamp and came back to Jericho as a reformed person, but Xavier continued to dislike him immensely.
Ultimately, Hyde's lack of trust gets the better of him, and he believes Jackie is cheating on him with Kelso ("You Shook Me (1)"). He sleeps with a nurse, not out of lust, but out of pain and anger. He wants both revenge on Jackie and to break up with her for good.
After the birth of her son Tyler, Francoise's postpartum depression caused her to lose control of her transformations as a hyde. She was unpredictable and violent, often medicated for her episodes. Donovan built a secret underground shelter in the backyard as a safe haven for Tyler in case Francoise ever transformed.
“Then all of a sudden he's given the truth.” At first, Laurel forced Tyler to turn into a Hyde and do her murderous bidding. But once she gained his full loyalty, he willingly followed her deadly plan.
Jekyll and his counterpart, Mr. Hyde, could be one of manic depressive psychosis. The diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders and emerging psychological theories during the Victorian Era would have influenced Stevenson and the character of Dr. Jekyll/Mr.
The album blends different genres like hip-hop, jazz, and soul, evocative of Tyler's previous releases Flower Boy (2017) and Igor (2019). Conceptually, Chromakopia is narrated by Tyler's mother, Bonita Smith, as a diary that pieces together Tyler's perspective on past timeline experiences separated by tracks.
He is known for building worlds around the central themes of each album, complete with characters and destinations from his imagination. In “CMIYGL” he becomes “Tyler Baudelaire,” whose name references the French poet, Charles Baudelaire.
Tyler, the Creator wanders around a luxurious mansion as his alter-ego Igor in the new video for “A Boy Is a Gun.” The visual follows Tyler — decked out in a blonde wig, sunglasses and several colorful outfits — as he gazes from the home's balcony, runs through a maze-like garden and reclines in a bathtub.
The pair have drawn some criticism for their supposed romance, given that Judge is 10 years Tyler's junior (they are 23 and 33, respectively). Neither have ever commented publicly on their relationship, but she is rumoured to have inspired his album, Call Me If You Get Lost.
Concerned about Tyler, his shapeshifting Hyde son who was admitted to Willow Hill, Galpin asks Wednesday to help with the case. But Galpin and Bradbury's probing goes a bridge too far, prompting Judi's murder of crows to kill them and gouge out their eyes.
We also know that Hyde's are unlocked after a traumatic experience or by the use of a chemical. In Wednesday, Hyde's also can have a master who controls them (in Tyler's case it was Ms. Thornhill, aka Laurel). Because Hydes are unpredictable, they were banned from attending Nevermore 30 years ago.
They officially went public with their relationship in 2016 when they attended Elton John's AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party together. Despite their 39-year age gap, the pair made their relationship...
Hyde murders Carew and tramples on a little girl causing her legs to break. ...with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot, and hailing down a storm of blows. The use of the simile 'ape-like fury' describes Hyde as an animal capable of rages, not a human.
Since no physical deformity is ever named, one could suggest that it is Hyde's soul that is deformed. Furthermore, Mr Hyde is also described as being `troglodytic` or primitive, thus relating Mr Hyde to savage cavemen.
Hyde is presented as purposefully cruel -- trampling and thereby injuring a little girl for no apparent reason other than sheer sadism -- and is also described by Mr. Enfield as having something in his appearance of being "displeasing" and "detestable."
