I feel like it would be a lot weirder if he hadn’t been a blob monster before getting his new body

Yeah exactly. He didn't really have a choice. And he didn't choose a child's body solely for the purpose of getting with monster girl. I think he also wanted to experience what it's like to "grow up" and go from a child to an adult, like a normal human. An experience he never would have been able to have otherwise. The only weird thing is he chose rex's DNA without consent.

Yeah, he implies in the episode that his childhood was very traumatic (not that that's a huge leap to make anyway), so it tracks that he'd pick around puberty age as a second chance. I think the only part he specifically did for Monster Girl was picking Rex

He did choose Rex’s dna specifically because monster girl found him cute though, so it sort of was to get with her. He’s a superhero and likley could of easily extracted the dna from a random criminal and done the same thing

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.

It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.

Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
