Yeah as someone who enjoyed the game but never got deep into the lore I can say the mystery of pyramid head was part of why he was so awesomely terrifying.
Absolutely. I'm pretty sure there comes a point where the lore secretly shifts to "wouldn't it be neat if..." and the team has never verbalized what is or isn't intentional, but there was always something there with Pyramid Head. There couldn't NOT be.
Down to the way the last encounter with him ends.
My biggest fear is if they lean into the "ancient prison executioner" twist that never actually made sense taken literally but wasn't too far from how the movie did things.
giving him an 'origin story' will be a massive blunder for sure. Not everything needs an explanation in stories, ESPECIALLY horror content.
