>>351332It's mostly a case of slow character assassination- the way Alastor acted in Episode 5 was completely different to how he'd normally act and it was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I mean he was always supposed to be a narc but he was also supposed to be charming and a bit enigmatic but now he's getting pissy at everything and acting like a dickhead for no reason.

Viv’s art style and design philosophies have grown on me a lot tbh. They’re still not all to my taste but I’ve grown to appreciate them, especially how they stand out in the world of adult animation. Adult animation really took a nosedive aesthetically at some point in the 2000s it’s not even funny. Not all shows of course but so many shows that come out are just so artistically uninspired. Like look at this shit it makes me wanna die.

>>351339He's still charming imo, but he's not trying to make friends and he openly admits he hangs around Charlie because he likes talking to her. Imo, just seems like he didn't want people fucking around with his long term plans and there were too many people at the hotel suddenly between Mim and her bullshit [which he was still composed for in the end before she ran off] and Lucifer, possibly taking Charlie's attention away from all he's done for the Hotel just because
daddy could make a call to Heaven.

>>351332kek, idk, I'm not quite an alastorfag either (it helps I never saw the pilot) and just like him. however, his peacocking slap fight with Lucifer and the janky kaiju moment now makes him feel a lot more like a typical frivolous creepy demon than some threatening yet refined eldritch entity.

I rewatched the pilot right before watching episode 5 and was so disappointed. It’s like they’re totally different characters. Also hate how they made his design so pointy. In the pilot he does have the same sharp smile but there are moments in which it falters and that made him more likeable imho. The new one is just weird and makes him seem kinda two dimensional.

>>351347if she wrote the daddy scene in an attempt to extinguish charlastor shipping she is retarded, it will have made charlastor fags a million times more obnoxious. now featuring disgusting incest DDLG kink!

>>351366certainly more than her and vaggie kek. though i was thinking, i dont doubt some of the motivation for the vaggie fallen angel thing is an attempt to brute force some hurt/comfort angst in the most beige sexless pairing ever committed to canon
>>351367i found it disappointing for the same reasons anon. it also doesnt make sense that he would be so openly aggressive toward one of the most powerful beings in hell. it would be more interesting to have him undercut lucifer and charlie's relationship more subtly while asskissing/placating lucifer on the surface, trying to manipulate him into granting favours and shit like that. i wouldnt have thought it would make sense for a sophisticated and dangerous ex psychopathic public personality to happily and immediately burn the bridge to someone more powerful and important.
but to be fair, this is expecting interesting character writing from a team of broadway autists…

>>351370also im mad because from the screenshots of e5 i thought charlie and alastor would have a cool duet expanding on his specific abilities, maybe with him offering to "puppeteer" (through his voodoo) the residents of the hotel into behaving, persuading charlie in a way that has her on board at first, but realising by the end of the song that free will is important to her project (which would have been a nice tie in with lucifer).
i really wanted a spooky jazzy i have friends on the other side type number. sigh. seems like theyre staying away from actually mentioning voodoo explicitly at all, which i guess makes sense for avoiding audience shitflinging, but if theyre already appropriating the symbology they may as well make it interesting and tie it in properly instead of it just being there for aesthetic reasons.

So what did you all think about Vaggie being an Angel?
Personally I thought her Angel design is super cute, but her arc was super rushed. Like, we learn she's a angel, how she went to hell and Charlie learns Vaggie is an angel all in the same episode??? I know pacing is a problem as a whole in this series as a whole which is a bummer, because it could've been great.
No. 351387
I hate how Vivzie really shot herself in the foot by wrecking the pacing and trying to cram in as much plot as humanly possible out of fear of getting shitcanned after one season. That being said I like how Vaggie's pilot outfit made an appearance in the flashback.

>>351348agree, I really don't see what the big deal is, and a pilot is a pilot, anything in them is subject to change once the show gets picked up. Maybe it's because I don't know the deepest canon lore, but I don't think I have seen the Alastor his fans here are talking about kek
>>351373It was a little odd, but I think Lucifer in HH is supposed to have had more of a 'soft' fall and is still very much an angel rather than a demon, and therefore doesn't mesh with the rest of Hell. It's neat imo that a lot of Charlie's bubbly personality seems to stem from him, while her power/more demonic form looks to come from her mother.

Also I saw they switched up the voice actors vs the description. Emily is played by an Indian woman (Shoba Narayan) while Sera’s played by a Black woman (Patina Miller).

I’m still struggling to figure out the intended audience for this show. Ik it’s been a subject that people have criticized since the pilot came out but now that it’s on a major streaming platform (and it’s trending at #2 if that means anything) I can’t imagine a normie adult sitting down and watching this past the first episode. Lucifer's “take that depression! XD” felt so much like a children’s show line. I do hope it ends up attracting a bigger audience because even though I’m still unhappy with some of the VA changes I definitely wanna see more in the future.

>>351370It does make sense though, are a lot of you dense? It just seems like there's a bunch of anons adding in personal headcanons of how a character should act based on previous material when this is marketable through Amazon and thus things had to change. Alastor swearing isn't random and he was being challenged by the lord of hell.
I honestly don't understand how his persona should overtake his motives. Honestly think he's trying to get Charlie on his good side and to trust him more than her shitty father and in order to do that, he can't have other people butting in. I have a feeling he's trying to take over hell.
No. 351433
>>351432It's not like he went on a swearing spree like Angel or Husk. He said "fuck you" when things got super heated and got tired of being isulted and attempted upstaged [obviously wasn't upstaged], but I totally get the frustration between Husk acting like he doesn't know why Mim is there, then the dad coming in when Charlie should rely on him instead of her father because
it is his hotel and then the dad comes in and fucking insults it and makes fun of Charlie for it? Like, yeah. "Fuck you" to Lucifer. He didn't flip out, he said it sternly and then took all the anger built up from that on Hush when Husk tried being insulting as well. I'm sure Alastor has a breaking point. Mim is lucky to not have him snap at her and instead just use his height and voice to tell her off. He can't just do that to someone like Lucifer, the best her can do is say "Fuck you". He said it so gentlemanly too, like he slapped him with a glove for one check and then back for the "you".

something that bothers me about HH is that almost(?) all of the female characters are almost entirely humanoid, while male sinners have a far greater diversity of designs (moth, spider, winged cat, snake, object-headed like Vox)
I think this is most obvious with Velvette. her design looks very uninteresting next to Valentino and Vox. I know it's been discussed a lot on /snow/ that Viv is a misogynist and lavishes far more love onto her male OCs than her female OCs, and I think it definitely shows in the designs. I'd love to hear other opinions on this because it's been bothering me while watching, especially after Mimzy and Cherri appeared.

>>351469Honestly, it's not as bad as I was expecting. The episodes are short and easy to watch, I'd say give it an episode or two, you don't have that much to lose. It's fun for what it is.
>>351499If Vivzie was a significantly better writer who was trying to make something politically important, maybe, but she's not. The point wasn't to be "powerful," it was to make sure we know Angel Dust is sexy AND sad. Female characters have already gotten this treatment for years, and it always undermines their arcs because their sadness still has a sheen of glitz and glam. I'm sick of seeing eroticized violence towards women across all media, and I wouldn't trust Vivzie to write anything better for a female character, so I hope she continues torture porn'ing the sad spider twink instead of any of the women to be honest.

Loona, Stella, Octavia, Beezlebub, Deerie, Keenie (those two are angels but point still stands), all have animal-inspired designs, and even the imps of both sexes are much less straightforwardly humanoid than the women of Hazbin, barring background characters. I personally love Velvette and her design but I agree it is objectively the least interesting of the three you mention, she’s just a girl in a cute outfit with a fantasy skintone basically.

>>351366Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Vaggie comes across like Charlie's wrangler who only goes along with her plans to humor her, whereas Emily is actually fired up and angry about the denizens of Hell being executed and is putting herself at risk to support her. It's inexcusably bad writing because Vaggie should absolutely be on Charlie's side given that she was an angel who had a change of heart and agreed the execution was wrong. If the idea was that Vaggie is hesitant to support Charlie because she already knows something Charlie doesn't, it just makes her seem even shittier because she's hiding really important things about her past AND information about Charlie's dream like
>>351666 said, it makes her seem like a horrible girlfriend from every angle. Unfortunate since their relationship could've been handled much better. They could have telegraphed Vaggie's disdain for and ideological opposition to Heaven, Adam, Lute, etc. more clearly so it doesn't seem like she just thinks Charlie is retarded. Or she could confess that she was an angel BEFORE they go to Heaven, or even seem like she's about to confess in previous episodes, but keeps getting too scared because she doesn't want to lose Charlie. Maybe have her float the hypothetical to Charlie in a previous episode, like "What if one of the angels wanted to be redeemed, could you forgive even them?" to indicate that Vaggie wants to tell Charlie. As of now, it just seems like Vaggie wasn't supportive of Charlie's plan, had zero qualms about hiding her past, and was willing to let Charlie's idea crash and burn without ever warning her about the reality of what she'd be facing. Sorry for sperging, I just can't believe she fumbled this when the drama is practically packaged and ready to go. "Protagonist wants to redeem sinners to protect them from genocidal angels and her gf who's helping her is hiding that she used to be one of those angels" should NOT be this boring.

Viv wants her show to have comedy but also have long sections of sad dramatic moments (and songs ugh) and imo it just doesn't work.
Speaking of songs, two songs for every episode is wayy too much. Most of them are boring or just bad, idk why she insists on having multiple pop-sounding repetitive songs every single episode.

https://twitter.com/vivziepop/status/1128064633166712832 She actually created the character of Addison when she was around 17 herself, based on looking at her post about the character on her old blog. I found this by looking at the wikia page for the character, they had a citation that linked to it. Note the time of post. Viv was born Oct 28 1992. She’d be around 17 around this time, turning 18 in the fall. However, she drew the weird drawings of him when she was 19. However, she addressed this in her big tumblr apology.
https://vivziepop.tumblr.com/post/179705403534/im-only-going-to-say-this-once Personally, like… she was a teenager who drew retarded drawings of her oc she had since she was an even younger teenager.

It will be there, sometimes, but it's not they will like… Anime with lots of sexy scenes is something few people will watch. It's niche like how Hazbin Hotel is niche or idk what's popular nowadays. The anime industry is thriving because a lot of people outside of Japan like it. If it was only inside Japan, then it wouldn't be as popular. American shit would be more popular if it wasn't all comedies like Rick and Morty and the Simpsons for adults or something for children only. And honestly those comedy adult only shows would be much better if they were something like Friends, for example, instead of eccentric humour not everyone will get. The popular anime is for young and big audiences and it's action (who doesn't like action?). You know what popular Disney + Pixar movies are, it's because they did Romance and Action.

>>352192>he is a male character identified by pronouns and nothing else.what do you want then? an episode devoted to getting close ups of his male bulge? ofc he doesn't resemble a male, he barely resembles a female either, if it weren't for his multiple arms and character lore and wikias no one would be able to tell he's meant to take after a spider either, he looks like a thing.
i think your deal is that you inherently view certain characteristics and roles as being for women, hence you think Angel Dust is "essentially a female character" that Vivzie only pretends is male.
No. 352223
>>352192Yeah, I agree with you. It's really the whole 'I'm trapped in an
abusive relationship with a powerful male' that feels odd in the context of Angel Dust, as well as the highly feminized outfits and chest fluff boobs. Either way, I prefer that a pseudomale character is who gets his story instead of a female character, Vivzie doesn't possess the tact or interest to write a sympathetic female prostitute.

I'm 4 episodes in and my biggest complaint thus far compared to the pilot is the change in some of the voice actors, the breakneck pacing, and the lack of tuning on Alastors voice. Nitpicky I know, it lacks the crackly radio quality and the static it had in the pilot. I don't understand why this season is supposedly 8 episodes instead of a fuller fledged 12 for better character development.
I always loved Viv's designs so seeing them animated by a professional studio delights me.

>>352459It could've been paced better if the pilot wasn't public. So now they have to reintroduce the eight characters at the Hotel, then the antagonist three overlords and two angels in first couple episodes.
They could've removed Ser Pentious, mixed his part with Angel Dust arriving and let Nifty and Husk work in the background like they did with Charlies goat sidekicks. It would've been much smoother.

Going to throw out some wild theories here just so I can link back and say I was right.
>Adam is the progenitor of imps with Lilith. The horns look exactly the same and even use the same gender pattern. Lilith fled to Hell because she knew Heaven would kill them.
>Lilith ascended to heaven because of her selfless act and was killed by the angels
>Charlie's real mother is Eve. She assumed Lilith's identity on ascending to keep Hellborne spirits up. She's a sinner because of apple eating.
>Blitzo will show up in the finale in a line or two cameo. His VA is listed as another role but I don't think she showed up yet
>Cameo by an Ars Goetia member in the finale too. He's working with or enslaved by Alastor which explains how Alastor is so strong. Ars Goetia member will be a new recurring character on HB
>I don't know why but I'm feeling there's something with Alastor and Emily. Maybe she was one of his victims and when he pulls his big bad thing she'll forgive him and it will be like a whole sappy ending

>>352464 would be less predictable than Eve only recently disguising herself as Lilith and holding her hostage because? She's evil? I want to believe Vivzie isn't so misogynistic/bad at writing that she'd actually make Adam an angel and have Eve nowhere to be found and/or the root of all evil, but I will be pleasantly surprised if that turns out to not be the case. Regardless of what happens with that whole plotline, I wonder if seeing other hypothetical executions of her characters makes her realise what a clusterfuck she's made.

>>352518pretty sure the point of Adam is that he's only an angel because he was literally the first human to go to heaven, not because he has any redeeming qualities (other than maybe obeying his original purpose as being the first man, unlike Lilith who 'failed' by making her own choices), and that the standards for getting in or being barred from heaven are either arbitrary or completely/fairly unknown to both parties (aside from obvious things like murder being hell-worthy etc). That's why the question of redemption being possible or not has to be asked (and currently has no answer).
It's not going to be a deep or nuanced take on any of these ideas, and will likely culminate in a childish resolution of some kind, but it's pretty straightforward so far so maybe she'll be able to pull something off.

Damn. Okay, this all actually turned out much better than I expected. Not perfect, way too rushed, and there are a few plot points I wasn't into, but still.
Dying to know more about wtf Alastor's deal is. It wasn't really that satisfying to see him get knocked down a peg because the narrative never seems to know what to do with him. Like it can't decide how he fits into everything, but I guess they will address this more in-depth in the next season. I am definitely curious.I didn't like Sir Pentious' death until the ending, kek. I think it's actually a good twist/a good way to move the plot forward. But I'm honestly going to miss him. I guess he was the most expendable of the main cast aside from Nifty and is the one who most obviously morally improved, but he had fun chemistry with everyone. I also was hoping he'd end up with Cherri, they were a funny pairing in theory.Lucifer grew on me a lot. I liked Charlie's battle outfit, as impractical as it was. I really liked that they actually addressed Vaggie and Charlie as a couple and also individually.I want more of the Vees. I've warmed up to them as a trio. Vox being a retarded heckler was funny, I like how Valentino and Velvette just ignore him half the time kek. But they seem to have plans, and it's a good plot setup to make sure there's still intra-conflict in Hell and it doesn't devolve into a Heaven vs. Hell thing.I'm kind of sad it's over, to be honest. I didn't expect much because HB was such a disappointment, but I would gladly watch another season.
>>352778Completely agree it would've been better if
Adam lived but was just severely injured. I get they're trying to make Lute the primary antagonist now, but I will miss Adam as the asshole. And Nifty being the one to kill him was such a strange one-off joke in this context, but oh well. It could be interesting to see Lute develop without him, but they'd have to really commit to making Lute more than she is now. No. 352806

The final was very fun to watch. even though Lucifer was a bit deux ex machina One thing I don't know if I got it right isif Alistor actually an Angel? Like, Lute told Lillith "her brother" is threatining hell. That meant Alistaor, right? And if the theory is right "Eve is actually Lillith and Lillith is Eve" that would mean "Eve" is the one who made a deal with Adam?? And why is Alistor under her control? Interesting plot points. Can't wait for season 2

Carmilla's song was really good. Vox and Lucifer made me laugh a lot too, and seeing Adam’s face was cool ig. The one thing that bothered me was that it was kinda anticlimactic in a way. Throughout the episode, there’d be a buildup and then the character would get knocked out instantly (Pentious, Charlie's beast thing, Adam sort of). Pentiousfags how are you coping?

an episode where he gets up to his silly antics in Heaven and Emily has to teach him that he can't do those things there. It'll be funny and cute and then he'll likely fuck off for the rest of S2 until the middle or end.I'll also say that
his death scene was fucking STUPID. I laughed and I do think it was funny as a gag, but the instant tonal shift from him getting vaporized in a nanosecond to all the characters crying was so, so bad. It should have been played more for laughs imo. Kinda also wish
last episode was Lucifer's debut instead. The 6th (I think) episode where Lucifer and Alastor had a stand off or whatever was childish and boring with some of the worst pacing the show has to offer, and I don't understand why with so few episodes in the season there was what felt like so much filler? I don't even remember what happened in that ep, it was so forgettable. There were a lot of unlikeable writing quirks in general too, like with Vaggie being revealed as an angel twice in one episode. Why not just write it so that the whole ep leads up to one big reveal that comes as a shock to both Charlie and us as the audience? No. 352972

Secondly, they
never stop to consider that the designs are fine as they are for what it's going for, it's doing the 2005 sparkledog hot topic emo aesthetic, and for what it is, it nails it perfectly. Just because you don't personally like it doesn't mean it's a "bloated mess", that's just how it's supposed to look like. I mean I don't like the aesthetic at all and never did, but I still find the designs fascinating, distinct and memorable.

I just watched Hazbin as a casual fan (only saw the pilot when it came out and didn’t think about it for years) and I liked it more than I thought I would, the hate is overblown and the show was overall fun and enjoyable even for a non fujo like me. I don’t like how any of the male characters look, like aside from the bartender cat they mostly look ok, but a lot of the female characters are just so much more interesting looking. I think Emily, Nifty, and Rosie are so cute, and I love Sera’s entire look. I also liked how Vaggie looked with short hair so much better, same with the angel next to Adam- I also really like her lmao. Emily especially is so cute, I’m obsessed with her kek. The only thing I really dislike is Charlie’s redesign, I feel like they gave her red eyes to contrast with Emily’s when they were singing next to each other but it detracts from her overall look. There will probably be more scenes like that.
Anyways I don’t really see why people are saying she doesn’t like her female characters, designs aside I think there was a pretty balanced focus on them vs the males. Aside from her obvious bias towards Angel Dust, but I’ve seen many creators give their favorite special treatment or immunity.

I'm big into tinfoiling over stuff like this because I'm so used to show going all the way out to left field.

>>353723Yes. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of gendie pandering in HH. The closest we got is a man voicing a woman, which is not uncommon for animation. Bob’s Burgers has two lead female characters who are voiced by men but aren’t trans.
No. 353798
>>353487Same anon here, I just finished watching HH, it was more fun than I expected it to be! I liked how unabashedly cartoony it was and I didn't feel like it took itself too seriously. The best episode in my opinion was Masquerade (ep4), I thought the Poison sequence was good and I like the imagery of the contracts being a literal chain around Angel and Husk's necks. Also Vox was very funny and I liked his design, the visual effects of his brainwashing was cool and I'd like to see more of that. Niffty was cute and I liked Lucifer.
On the negative side of things, as others have said the pacing is off weird throughout the show. Unlike others I actually preferred the first half, it had some nice character moments and background while the last half was dedicated just to the angels' invasion. There were a few characters whose importance I didn't fully grasp - Vox and Valentino are obvious powerhouses in Hell with Vox controlling the media and Valentino controlling the porn industry. I guess Velvette controls the fashion industry but her inclusion didn't feel as relevant, certainly not enough to make me think she holds as much influence as the other two. Same for Mimzy. Plus some of the designs are confusing - Angel is a porn star who dresses in… a business blazer and biker shorts? It's carried over from his original mafia design but it feels random. Lastly I cannot being myself to care about Husk/Angel or Vaggie as a whole - she is so boring. Still, I'll watch season 2 when it comes out.
>>353790NAYRT I wasn't sure since Adam said "I named you after the best thing in the world" or something like that. That made me think her full name was Vagina lol.
No. 353834
>>353826I think they recognized that Charlie and Vaggie needed more development, and I definitely felt their relationship made more sense in the last 2 episodes, but I'd like to see more actual chemistry between them. I think the problem with a lot of lesbian pairings in media is that the writers are deathly afraid of making them "
toxic" and flatten them into being boring and lifelessly wholesome. I wish Vaggie had done something more meaningful to win back Charlie's trust and their relationship had been more believable. Even a few minutes of showing Charlie nursing Vaggie back to health and Vaggie having angel angst over lying to Charlie would've made me buy it. It's not surprising people will ship Charlie with the only other viable character she has any screentime with if they don't make her canon relationship all that interesting. And I say that as someone who never "got" Charlie/Alastor.
No. 353838
>>353834Velvette is supposed to control social media as a whole, she's kind of the bridge between Vox's TV/media and Valentino's porn. I don't know if it was entirely intentional but I found the social commentary about social media leading to degeneracy semi-interesting.
>>353826>>353798I'm the same, Vaggie was a plank of wood in the pilot and Charlie and Alastor had a fun dynamic. I still think Vaggie sucks and Charlie/Alastor is a thousand times more interesting than it but I have a fondness for Charlie/Emily now. I don't think it'll happen in a thousand years but I hope Vaggie gets dumped.

More power to the shippers though, I’m not a fan of Charlie x Vaggie myself. It really feels like a “they got together because they were there and single” than because they had real chemistry couple.

So I know this is a book that Viv will never hear about, let alone read, but one of my favorite books that reimagines the story of creation is to reign in hell by steven brust. In this retelling God(Yahweh), Lucifer and Michaels are all beings created from raw chaos and heaven was created as a place for them to dwell, the book deals with their creations and eventual war, I'm not going to spoil the rest of the book, but this version of hell and heaven is actually quite close to Viv's version. It's a longshot, but I pray that she takes some more inspiration from the book somehow.

>>354424I also liked Hazbin a lot more. For me it was because there was a clear goal throughout the episodes while giving us a hint of the characters' backstories here and there. In Helluva there's… nothing. It's just a bunch of situations, there are only a lot of arcs that never get a conclusion (like moxie's dad, stella, striker, the cherubs, the humans, stolas getting hurt, octavia, belzebub and mammon). It had the "hit job of the day" theme for like 5 episodes and then they dropped it for pointless drama. Also the characters are a lot more diverse, likable and fun in Hazbin imo. In Helluva you've got a bunch of annoying imps (blitzo especially is extremely annoying and grating) and the same flavor of "gay demon in love but in denial" characters over and over. Asmodeous/Fizz are literally just Stolas/Blitz again. In Hazbin you've got the gay twink, the cute/creepy maid, the mysterious powerful demon, we have various overlords that do different stuff, there's Sir Pentious that's fun, Charlie is a bit dumb but still likable, Lute is interesting, Rosie is also very nice but also mysterious. Overall it's a lot more interesting and idk if it's because Vivzie had someone watch over her writing or not.

No. 355061
I watched the first episode (yeah, I'm late, I know) and here are my thoughts:
>I like Vaggie's new design. I thought the asymmetrical socks she had at the beginning were annoying. I saw some spoilers about how in later episodes she appears with white clothes when she falls from heaven. Her design changing to red and black show how hell is starting to be her new home. Also, the shirt and skirt are a contrast to her hair, before it looked kinda odd. And I like her new voice too and the fact they made her design sharper. I also started liking her more, in the pilot she was kinda boring to me but she's more interesting now. Also it makes sense Vaggie would hate men if the first man was Adam.
>I like Charlie's new outfit but I hoped they kept the black pants instead of the red ones. I also loved her song, sounds straight out of Disney. The songs are very good in general and memorable.
>Angel Dust is the same as always.
>I loved Adam. I saw some people who though he was annoying, but I honestly loved him. He's an asshole for no reason and has a huge self esteem but I think he's hilarious. I liked him the second he got on screen. Him, Angel Dust and Sir Pentious are my favorites so far.
>Alastor annoyed the shit out of me. He's even worse of a villain that whoever they're going to have for this season (and he'll probably be the end game villain) and he's purposefully trying to ruin the hotel just because he's "bored". There's more motivations behind him, surely, but he's still very suspicious and I'm just waiting for him to show his true colors. I hope he gets beat up or his shit eaten at some point.
No. 355097
>>355081I'm on episode 5 right now. I thought Lucifer and Charlie's personalities were very similar. Like father, like daughter kek. He also likes animals, used to have a dream that got crushed, has family problems (that he desperately wants to fix, like how Charlie wants to fix other's problems instead of their own) and even his reaction when he picked up the telephone after charlie phoned him was something I'd see her doing. I actually liked his portrayal because why would Charlie be so kind if she didn't grow up with someone who's at least remotely nice? She's in hell. Yes, an angel, but still in hell. In the past Lucifer may have been even more like Charlie but after his dreams got crushed he turned out like this.
And I have a question. Why does Alastor have such huge beef with him? Does he simply want to be the most powerful person in the room? I feel like he wants to sabotage the hotel and he knows that Lucifer's appearance will effect the hotel positively so he's trying to ruin Lucifer's and Charlie's relationship even more so she won't want his help. I think Alastor wants to make a deal with Charlie to get her powers somehow and in order to do so, he wants to convince her she's nothing without his help.
No. 355102
Episode 1 (some additional comments)
>I like to image that the reason Adam is this way is because he's supposed to be a representative of mankind as a whole but he's God's favorite so he gets special treatment. He is a bit of an idiot, huge asshole, selfish, likes food, only cares to have fun and loves music (particularly rock). In his first dialogue, he randomly starts talking about his weekend, his previous relationships and other stuff like that. He seems like a stereotype of a frat boy from the 2010's. We have the same music taste so we're cool.
>I didn't like Katie's new voice at all. This one sucks. Her old one was perfect.
Episode 2 (my 2nd favorite)
>Title is a reference to the song "video killed the radio star", the first music video that played on MTV. Already starting so well.
>When Alastor becomes a villain I feel like Vox might join Charlie's team. Although he's an asshole, he will probably be redeemed. They completely hate each other and are copies of each other. Both of them wear the same clothes as each other but different colors. Blue and red are big contrasts of each other. Both are fake. When Vox goes up to the reporters his face immediately changes from angry to happy and he starts giving a speech. His speech is the most corporate thing ever, referring to his company with "us" and "we", speaking like what I imagine Mark Zuckerberg speaks like and when when he promises safety to the people, he immediately starts showcasing his product. Doesn't care at all about the wellbeing of his customers, just wants to sell his stuff and have good reputation. It's hell so there's bound to be evil, but the Vs are all evil in a realistic way.
>On that note, the Vs all showcase consumerism well, as they're the fashion, social media and porn. With Velvette, they could have showed that aspect more because compared to the other Vs hers is more… eh. Valentino's and Vox's relationship, especially them dating, shows the strong relationship between porn and the internet.
>I am very happy that Sir Pentious entered the hotel. Aside from being cartoonishly evil, he truly meant it when he said sorry. He doesn't deserve to be in hell at all.
>That scene where Angel was checking his phone and Valentino sent him voice messages, one where he was being nice then in the next he was rude, it hit very hard… The whole 4th episode hit hard (my favorite).

And why did this random lady who killed the angel have crab hands?>The episode was called scrambled eggs so I assumed the eggboys would die, but I'm so glad they didn't. I got sad when they left Sir Pentious side, but then happy when they returned. Episode 4
>This episode was the best portrayal of the porn industry I've seen on TV. They made the pimp so accurate. I hated Valentino so much, especially when he slapped Angel dust. It was accurate the whole dancing montage, the fact he treated Charlie nice but abused Angel instead because of something that Charlie did, the scene at the end where Angel is at the balcony and how Val also fucked Angel. The poison song was addictive. Also that guy from the black car at the pilot is the director and Angel's real name is Anthony!?>Husk was great as a character and his relationship with Angel Dust is amazing.

I'll write a huge comment instead of small ones. Episode 6:
>I don't understand why Vaggie was so hesitant to reveal to Charlie she used to be an angel. Charlie is very accepting and all about redemption, why would Vaggie hide this from her?
>Cherri is a bad influence on Angel Dust. If you noticed, the moment he started getting more chummy with Husk, he started improving significantly. He was hesitant to get drunk and wanted to ensure Nifty's safety. With Cherri, he was afraid of being seen as a wimp and did risky things he would otherwise not want to do. FOMO is a bitch. I'm glad Angel has a better friend now and he stood up to Valentino.
>"Do a sex with me"
>Little did he know… she didn't do a sex with him
>Why was Alastor absent from this episode and episode 4? Where even is he?
Episode 7:
>"How come everytime charlie speaks to heaven we get to even deeper and deeper shit" I'm wondering the same, Husk!
>Now Charlie made a deal with deer Bill Cipher… That's not good at all. I hate how he waits at just the right moment to manipulate people, when they're their most vulnerable. On another note, I noticed he's friends with some random old ladies. They probably go and have tea parties in the garden while talking about how youngings are addicted to those damn phones while waving their sticks at birds passing by and if someone calls them old they cannibalize him/her.
>Charlie be respectful to meemaw… She won't give you biscuits and cake.
>I like how that lady overlord (forgot her name) tries to teach vaggie how to fight better. Although she's not explicitly going to help her win the fight. She's very smart, that's why she survived so long in hell. I liked that. She's trying to teach Vaggie that being blinded by hatred will not help her win fights, but her love will. That's why I assume that in the fight with Alastor (yeah I'm still thinking about that fight, it's obvious he will be the endgame villain) the fact that he doesn't care about other people will be used against him. He is strategic and strong, but what's holding him back is his pride and arrogance that will cost him greater in the end fight. I like how Vaggie was the one who met that overlord. The moment I saw them in the duet I knew they'd meet each other later on. They're a great pair and Vaggie can learn a lot from her.

>>355111Thank you. I love you too.
>>355121I'm not sure, I have a lot of favorites because these characters are just so likeable. If I had to choose, I'd say Vaggie. I'm surprised about it because when I watched the pilot, she was my least favorite. Compared to everyone else she was plain. In fact my favorite used to be Charlie before! I fell in love with her the moment I saw her and by that I mean literally. I saw the pilot when it aired and she was a big crush of mine, so I can understand why Vaggie also likes her. There was criticism about Vaggie's characterization and the writers must've heard it because in my opinion she's improved significantly. I realized I liked her so much when I saw the way Adam treated her, my opinion about him flipped. I had to pause the series and call my friend to tell her how angry I was. I wouldn't turn against another electric guitar player without a reason. We're playing the same instrument, it's like we're playing the same battles. Only one time this happened was when me and my band (one of my friends also uses lolcow is in it) were playing and this one guy who also played electric got so drunk he started beating up everyone he saw. Couldn't let this slide. Anyways I love Vaggie.
I also like Angel Dust because he's the most well written of all. But it's not like I care that much about him, I just have to give credit where credit's due, because I appreciate good character craftsmanship. I also like the comic relief characters like Nifty and Sir Pentious because who doesn't want to have a good laugh? And Vox, he has a nice design, sang a good song and his relationship with Valentino is interesting to me. Plus he's a type of character I like.
My least favorites so far are Valentino, Adam and Alastor.

Episode 8 (last one)
>"If you see an angel, stab him" Then Nifty proceeds to chase around Angel dust and try to stab him… Well, at least she took it seriously
>Pentious crush on Cherri is adorable. I'm glad he finally confessed and I hope I see them again together in the next season. He selflessly sacrificed himself just to save the others. He's such a good snake. Although Adam got rid of him with the snap of a finger, he didn't fight for nothing. I also liked Vaggie's and Charlie's kiss.
>"I'm going to give you one million heaven dollars. How does that sound?" I try to hate him, but he makes it so difficult kek
>Seeing Alastor getting beat up was very satisfying. I was waiting for this moment. Though I have to disagree with Vox's statements and enthusiasm. So, Alastor's power lies in that cane? That's fascinating. I'd be interested to see how that works.
>What Vaggie told Lute was very badass. "No, live. Live so you'll know that you live just because I let you. A failure." Deserved. Lute was the one who blinded Vaggie in one eye and left her to die. I think that injuring someone greatly and letting them live after is a much worse fate than simply killing them and ending their misery immediately.
>Lucifer came to save the day Deus ex machine style. And it turns out that Adam was wearing a mask after all. He looks different from what I expected, but I don't care. "Your first woman liked what I had" OUCH, that burns. Yet again you're divorced now so whatever you had she didn't like as much as you think!
>Nifty ended up being the one who killed Adam. I knew something was off with her… I wonder why does she act so weird when a camera is pointing at her? Is Vox going to use this later on? He seems to have an eye on her.
>I'm annoyed at how Alastor left the last second and returned later when everything was fine. He didn't even try to save the others, he only cared to save himself. Though he seems to be controlled by someone else. Lilith maybe? Lucifer is definitely a better dad than he is though.
>And Sir Pentious, I was sad about his death, but he's in heaven now! That means Charlie's hotel works and demons can be redeemed. Emily was so happy when she saw him.
So I'm done. I can't wait for season 2, even though it will probably take 2 years.

>>355310That's what confuses me. It seems like Viv doesn't care for the ship, then goes to say on the livestream that Alastor only said the 'dad' stuff to piss off Lucifer, which is the impression I got. All of the touchiness with Charlie while he supposedly "hates people touching him". Likes Alastor "your daughter calls me daddy too" art on twitter.
Then there's this clip of Charlie saying her ideal man is "dark and mysterious, can sing and play the organ", while Alastor is the only character said to play and own a furby organ.
https://x.com/VivziePop/status/956857844740931584?s=20I'm conflicted on whether she actually hates this ship or not. Is it going to amount to anything or it's all just troll? I'd kinda like to see Alastor/Lilith become a thing if not.

>>355250I feel like pickme characters can be handled in really fun ways. In a lot of fiction, once the pickme realizes she was never going to get picked, she turns on the moid who she used to seek approval from, which could be extremely funny if Adam ends up at the hotel and this just makes Lute double down on exterminating demons. Excited to see what they do with her. I think she's really cute too.
>>355327Same, Charlastor never occured to me until I saw all the fandom stuff of it, but it's not surprising because a lot of straight women can self-insert as Charlie. Plus, the two of them have very contrasting personalities, which is like catnip for shippers. I'm too disinterested in M/F for it to appeal to me, but I can understand it. I also like that Charlie and Vaggie feel like a more mature, established couple, but I wish there was more tenderness between them like in the final episodes.
>>355418I get what you're saying, and I think people can stretch a lot when talking about ships, but I also feel like Vivzie is entrenched in fandom enough to know how the "Dad" thing would be received by people like this. Fandoms and especially shippers thrive off reading way too deeply into character dynamics. If Vivzie didn't anticipate DDLG women flocking to Charlastor, she's even more disconnected from M/F shippers than I thought.

Meanwhile, Vivzie failed Chaggie horribly. It's bland, there's nothing to work with, everything happened offscreen. Sounds to me like lesbians self insert as either Charlie or Vaggie to cope with the fact no one can write a fun sapphic ship even in 2024. Both are plain as white bread.

Personally, I think a lot of nonas just have an ick on straight women straight shipping.

>>355480>>355529I'm a huge Charlastor shipper and I think Chaggie is cute. But Chaggie will always have suffered from being an established relationship. It's just not interesting to watch. There's really no reason to fangirl over it. Shipping, to me at least, is fun because you get to interpret all their little moments together and fill in the blanks. If season one had shown them as best friends who had obvious crushes on each other that the rest of the cast commented on and teased them about, and a huge cute love confession during the finale (as opposed to the lame Sir Pentious and Cherri Bomb one), it would've been waaaaaaay better!
It also doesn't help that Chaggie didn't even get their own duet. They got a reprise of Charlie's song with her DAD. Yuck.

Emily is the same archetype as charlie but started up from heaven. Both of them feeling betrayed by others because of their naivety. Alastor (in the pilot) believes it's impossible but it would be really funny so he supports it. Alastor in the series is vague about it, he seems to want to make a deal with Charlie specifically and supports Hazbin hotel enough to kick out Mimzie who just wants a safe place to crash in because she didn't want to be redeemed.

it's also shockingly disappointing that his monstrous form in that scene was merely a larger, kaiju-like version of himself. it was more like some vore fetish fanart than an interesting 'demon form' design for Alastor–it would have been so easy to make him transform into a creepypasta-esque deer monster, or anything mildly more interesting than 'Alastor but bigger and with tentacles'

alastor says some stuff in the lyrics like "remember when I did this for you?" "we've built such a bond!" "I'm your guy, your right hand man" and charlie obviously feels happy since it's related to her dream & bringing everybody together under the hotel so she starts going "aww :)" "that's true!". then al starts caressing her face with bedroom eyes saying stuff like "you're like the daughter I wish that I had" looking at lucifer as he drags out "you could almost call me dad" and straight after he says the daughter/dad stuff she goes quiet, no longer agreeing. lol I thought it seemed very kink baity the way the scene is played out. it's showing alastor pissing off lucifer ofc but he's also manipulating charlie by reminding her "btw I'm your support, your provider, basically your sugar daddy" while there being no real paternal affection from him, just over-touching her. then ofc 2 eps later he calls her a good girl and rosie says she is too young for him

No. 356344
>>356263This. That's exactly what he was doing. If Charlie needs something, Alastor wants her to use the demon that she has at her disposal that can make it happen, hopefully big enough to make a deal to solve the issue. This is how people get you to rely on him, there's no DDLG or kink fetish shit hidden in the show between them and it's so weird to see anons assert there is.
No, Alastor is using Charlie and being nice, wanting her to rely on him rather than a the ruler of Hell. That's it. There's no much else. He wants her trust that he can solve all her issues without daddy coming in and fixing it so she relies on him. In the end, Lucifer is still more powerful than Alastor could even imagine. He's no where near being able to take over the Overlords, let alone hell yet. I'm pretty sure this is also why Alastor is friends with so many factions in hell that
aren't overlords. Eventually, he will use his ties to try to overthrow Lucifer and get up to Heaven to destroy it [that's where I think the story is going tbh].

I know they're not that different, but he just felt both more threatening and charming at the same time and I was intrigued by his exuberant personality and singing punctuated by creepy moments. I also loved the stronger "radio filter" on his voice with the background sound effects and laugh tracks. I think all 3 of the voice actors did great, but Edward Bosco and Gabriel Christian Brown really made him sound more like a charming radio host from the 1930s. I still love the character but he just seems "sassy" and bitchier now, idk

I rewatched Hazbin again and was thinking of my favorite songs, my top 3 are probably:
- Stayed Gone
- Hell’s Greatest Dad
- Hell is Forever
I just love Alastor’s rivalries, and loved how Stayed Gone starts strong as Vox’s villain song and ends with a complete switch of power in the second half when Alastor takes over and we get to see his distorted demon form.
Hell’s Greatest Dad is catchy as hell and an homage to Friend Like Me (one of the best songs of all of the Disney classics), but Mimsy completely ruins it at the end.
Hell is Forever is the song that got me hooked on the show, it gets stuck in my head on a regular basis and Alex Brightman’s Adam was comedy gold.

>>352465you were totally right about this one
>>352511Turns out this wasn't a fakeout either
>>352493Oh shit what if the reason Rosie and Alastor were so willing to help Charlie is because they're planning to take over Hell together themselves? And Charlie would have to hold up her end of the bargain for whatever "favor" he wants, with the caveat of Charlie not physically hurting anyone directly.

Some "Dickkie" (Vaggie genderbend) for the thread.

Tinfoil incoming: I think Amir Talai was hired on as a diversity requirement because not only did they want as many minorities as possible in the cast but I think they had to backtrack a little once Vivzie said that Alastor is 'part creole' to explain his voodo symbols/imagery. So they desperately needed to find a brown guy instead once the show was picked up by Amazon (hello, DEI!). I mean, come on, Edward Bosco and Gabriel C Brown absolutely knocked the voice of Alastor out of the park, and Gabriel loved playing the character so much that he even created a few fan songs from it. And it wasn't because he wasn't SAG - he's in the union. I think what happened is that Vivizie or someone else on the team saw the YouTube clip of a middle eastern guy singing "You're Never Fully Dressed" and went OMG HE'S BROWN YES that's our guy!" So now we have nasal, bitchy, gay-sounding Alastor instead of the bombastic, charming, oddly threatening voice of the original.

>>375232Animation is really slow, especially you got to write songs and half less budget than a regular show. Preproduction work on Hazbin Hotel probably slowed down things a lot too.
It seems to be ramping up now though.

>>374302I have to say, I really enjoyed how Charlie and Vaggie’s relationship was portrayed. With all of the gay/dick/pegging jokes in Helluva Boss, I guess I was worried that there’d be some crude sex jokes thrown in about them being “LeSbiAnS!!!”, but it was just treated as a wholesome, nice, loving relationship without any focus on sexual stuff. I found it refreshing.

>>388058Holy shit was this episode bad. I usually try to break down ways to improve episodes but this one should just go straight to the trash bin. This episode is just a giant fuck you to people in so many ways, it's an amalgamation of everything people have been asking for since season 2 started:
>Cherubs are back>The MIB organisation is back>More Loona>A tidbit of the human worldThis is Vivzie saying "THERE! I BROUGHT THEM BACK BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS! NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP!" and not actually doing anything interesting with the characters. Sure, Loona was always meant to be furry bait but the cherubs and the organisation? What a joke. And could SOMETHING that isn't related to Blitz's and Stolas' relationship be an actual threat to the characters or the story for ONCE??? Not even the voice actors tried in this episodes, they sounded tired and just there to get their pay check. The jokes were so fucking tired and boring, I liked what I suppose was supposed to be a Stargate spoof but that was it. It's so weird that Blitz and Stolas were supposed to have all this nasty sex but Blitz is struggling to express what kind of scented candle he wants except for horny? Really? It could perhaps have worked if the joke was that both him and Stolas actually are way more vanilla than what was previously let on so he wouldn't know what to ask for, except not only was the possibility of a joke like that working or paying off dead the moment Blitz got excited by the sight of Fizz' giant dildo but we also saw them both in full bdsm gear in the previous season so it wouldn't have worked anyway. And why THE FUCK was everyone stalking Blitz in his preparations fuck someone? It's so out of character of all of them, wasn't one of the things in season 1 that Blitzo was the one getting way too involved in the other's relationships and not the other way around? There could have been so many other reasons why they were following him that would make more sense for the characters.
Fuck I'm so salty that Viv introduced all these interesting villains in season 1 just to not know what to do with them in the next season making them lose every ounce of personality and what made them an actual threat just to give more screen time for a forced romance that lost any weight to what would make it even slightly interesting the moment season 2 started with a flashback.
