Good things come to those who wait. It's a comedy game, so the moments where the MC mans up and just acts like a conventional hero will feel all the more satisfying for being EARNED. The biggest badass moment he's had so far is when he went hand-to-hand with the wolf to protect Myrtle (even if she had to save him in the end) and that felt really cool. If he just growled at and punched out every antagonist like a gritty badass who smoulders with generic rage the game wouldn't have the same lightness of tone, but if, say, there's a climactic moment where Hammerdick is about to murder Madeline and the MC jumps him and knocks him out to save her, that will feel FAR more awesome, like a proper payoff.
