2026 soon. This is still the most godawful piece of shit to ever come into existence.
There are barely any pieces of media I'd like to see erased from planet earth. Generally speaking I take the good with the bad. This is one of the exceptions. This thing and its spinoffs is a net negative for humanity and in a perfect world would be internationally banned.

Nah it’s really good. I want to fuck Nifty.

I also like Hazbin Hotel. It's a hell of a time! lol!

>>151740801
It's full of bad writing and holes. Charlie is one of the worst protagonists ever. Maybe if they focused less on Gays being Gay and more on her development things would be better. Season 2 is over and she still doesn't realize she is in hell and that the people she wants to redeem are in hell for a reason.

The spirit bomb has done immeasurable damage to the state of fiction, it's too clean a narrative shortcut. That ending was dogshit.

Emily should have died in the process of getting rid of the Lazer, it would have sold her message better.

True. But I feel that can be said for a lot of shows. Most things would have probably been more successful pre-streaming

it can still be fixed if emily finds out adam is her dad and always kept watch behind the scenes while making sure she is safe.

There's nothing wrong with the show, it's a fun musical.
>>
>>151742242
I love campy shit like power of frenship and the song was good too.
Also the show never was that strong narratively. Reminder than season 1 ended with Lucifer just solving the conflict and beating Adam up and there not being a single reason he couldn't just have done that all along if Charlie had just asked him to.
>>
I like how they just CareBear stared at the end of the season, something that was never indicated any of the could do before then. Gigantic fucking asspull

Season 1 was excellent subversive satire
Season 2 was subverted garbage

Emily made the same shield Sera did midway through the season. The others were just extra magic batteries.

Not even at all, but not because the writers didnt have good material to work with. The TV demon teaming up with the jew demon to use the angel demon to attack heaven should have been a great story but they fumbled the delivery.
>>
>>151742460
This.
>heaven is actually evil
>gay/LGBT sinners are actually the good guys
>Lucifer himself saves the day
It was pure subversive kino. S2 meanwhile retconned the whole “heaven is evil” thing and also introduced a bunch of weird toxic gay subplots while also humanizing characters like Valentino.
>>
>>151743788
>retconned
If I learned something from my too long experience on /a/ is that this term used as a "I don't like it" surrogate is a sure way to detect a retard. Here's no different. Jesus fucking Christ, dictionaries are right there if you don't know what a word means

It's like a battle harem or a rom-com: nobody is there for the MC. What she thinks or believes is not important. She's just there to give the characters people care about something to work around. Wasting time developing her instead of the Gays being Gay moments people actually enjoy is the worst thing the show could do.

In Season 1 almost all of heaven supports the exterminations. The exterminators are explicitly evil and unsympathetic. Meanwhile the largely LGBT residents of the Hotel are portrayed as being objectively good and worthy of redemption. It’s not that hard to understand the social commentary here.
>>
>>151744004
Charlie is basically the story vehicle for Adam, Vox, Eve, and Alastor to use.
>>
>>151742432
Friendship beam/spirit bomb is peak cheesy fun.
I think the real irony is the Spirit bomb has failed as a finishing move the majority of times its been used at this point.

Vox should have won.

In Season 1, only 1 person outside the exterminators themselves know about the exterminations.

this show appeal is that every dialogue sounds like an autistic discord server. the main draw is for uatistic faggots 2 b like "wow this is what I sound like irl with my friends" and so only gay autistic faggots watch this shit

hazbin hotel is bad because vivzie can't write for shit
that's why the goose has an advantage since a story requires good writing skills, and vivzie has like negative skill
>>
I can't get into it, it just keeps doing that BULLSHIT, where you establish one side character is powerful (Alastard) and then that one acknowledges (sometimes just throats in public) the other dozen faggots. It's terrible writing.

How is it that there's been 30+ of anime dominance in entertainment, where they have the antagonist/evil council member/enemy of the week introduction nailed down to a T and millenial "girl" Viralpoop can't even conceive of not piling on new nobodies that get either throated by previous characters or just being disrespectful to show they're SERIOUS BUSINESS??? It sucks.
>>
>>151742140
The former tumblrinas turned Bluesky crowd hate it most of all.
The best way to appeal to that crowd is by not going out of your way to do so and letting them project a million headcanons. If you directly appeal to them, they'll have a million arbitrary unwritten rules they expect you follow because they're addicted to being offended. Remember the SU fandom?
>>
>>151740992
I think the show just needs to figure out what the hell it wants its thesis around redemption to be.
>"Can a murderer be redeemed?"
>Charlie is le shocked
Jesus mother of fuck, are you telling me Charlie did not consider that redeeming people in hell included murderers? She explicitly mentioned "hatchet wielding maniacs" in the pilot.

Charlie is hopelessly naive. Its quite telling that the only person in Hell who likes her is actually just an Angel who was left behind during an extermination. Go make friends with actual sinners you fraud.
>>
I don't understand the absolute seethe for this show. I thought it was pretty good. It's very girly, yeah, but Viv has her own vision and it's animated and done pretty well in my opinion. I'd argue it's better than any other cartoon right now. It's the only show that feels like it gives a shit to try anything, it doesn't succeed at every story but it's always entertaining and the characters are interesting.

The gay slut angle is not the problem. You're trying to fit it in there to hide behind it.
>>
>>151746938
I am saying they have it figured out. It's not spectacular, but it's there. Everyone knows how it works, more or less. What does voledrop employ? Does she have any concept of structuring shit at all?
>>
>>151746911
I feel like that only goes so far. Like, we are talking the very simple concept of killing another human being which Charlie already knows about.
If nothing else, she's met Nifty, a character who very clearly has some kind of violence streak and bloodlust.
In the pilot, Charlie's motivations stemmed partially from on some level, having personally seen that the denizens of hell had good in them and her naivety stretched to not knowing the complexity of the human condition and not considering the idea that some people had no true intention of change.
>>
>>151746824
It is so heavy that even failing to prevent the murder of another can get you sent straight to hell.
>>
>>151747217
I don't mean conventional morality slapped onto the mechanics, but actual ethics
>>
>>151746640
what if charlie just assumed Angel's sin was sucking dicks and she was surprised by just how much worse it was?
nah, it's definitely the write-tards
>>
>>151740759
Isn’t it written by a tumblr girl?
>>
>>151747510
That scene has a much worse problem though. The dramatic reveal lasts for all of five seconds before we're immediately spoon fed the fact that Angel's kill was his own abusive father. The show legit could not trust the audience to grapple with the idea that Angel may have been a genuinely bad person before spoonfeeding us the information meant to make us instantly forgive him.
>>
>>151747582
Yeah “abuse” seems to be the ultimate evil according to the audience of shit show. It’s why many of them unironically believe that Valentino is more evil than Alastor, a serial killing cannibal.

My point was that the character who was literally a fucking gangster during prohibition can't just have done shit that gangsters did during prohibition.
I've heard that would be a recycle of Moxxie but come on. Make him somebody who was down on his luck, pressured into different things, and got caught up in the adrenaline of a firefight.
Fuck, say his abusive boyfriend pressured him if you have to.
Why is a show about sinners in hell seeking redemption playing everything extremely safe? Why is every fucking "redemptive" character written in a way meant to make me say they were never REALLY a bad person to begin with?
What's the actual goddamn point? It's so fucking boring.
>>
>>151747896
He still is a gangster but smuggling substances didn’t send him to hell (since vices like homosexuality and drug use are not sins according to Vivziepop.) His dad is heavily implied to be the only person he actually killed.
>>
>>151747931
>His dad is heavily implied to be the only person he actually killed.
Which is my fucking point. Turf wars, debt collection.
Hell, you know what? Just say that one person he was recovering from alcoholism, he pressures that guy into buying, that guy dies due to a drunken accident. Pressuring someone to relapse Andy Dick style because he was desperate to prove himself to his dad or his superiors or whatever and it ends badly.
Just.. something that would actually require me to hold him to a standard of needing to redeem himself.
But we can't do that because Vivzie doesn't want us thinking badly about spider wooby and doesn't trust us to follow that kind of redemption arc.
>>
>>151748021
So far murder is the only sin that is confirmed to get you sent to hell. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing since otherwise it makes heaven seem overly harsh and judge-y. Perhaps we will get some more nuance in s3
>>
>>151748021
From a pure writing standpoint it's just better to have one big sin to redeem than a bunch of small stuff.
>>
>>151740759
>This is still the most godawful piece of shit to ever come into existence.
That's not Steven Universe.
>>
>>151748201
I'd agree if not for the fact that we have already been spoonfed the fact that his victim was his abusive father.
Let me sum it up.
In-universe. Redemption is confirmed possible, we're clear on that.
But let's talk theme. It isn't simply that Pentius and Angel didn't commit serious crimes but that their backstories are intrinsically designed to be forgiven from the get-go.
Redemption is canon to the universe but the actual theme is tapdanced around because none of the characters in the hotel are actually presented to us as people who did anything that would let the audience condemn them enough to need redemption.
Like, I'm gonna hedge my bets, Angel's dad is gonna be an unrepentant psycho with little to no good side to him mirroring Valentino. He's gonna be someone the audience won't blame Angel for killing to begin with.
