Why don't I like Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel anymore? I used to watch/listen to it all the time on my long drives for work, but I haven't watched it in about 5 months and don't understand what I liked about it in the first place...
>>153720408An anon helped me get into Helluva Boss again by mentioning Bigfoot and the Village Idiot were voiced by Tom Kenny, maybe that might help you too LOL.
>>153720570Oh yeah, I did see those shorts but it really didn't spark that passion for that show that I used to have. I still have the merch and it's just a cringe reminder of the faggot fanbase... [including myself]
>>153720611>reminder of the faggot fanbaseI wouldn't let what people outside of yourself dictate how you're able to enjoy something. I'm fortunate enough to have been raised in a big family with numerous sisters myself, which was how I was able to relate to TLH outside of its notorious fandom.
>>153720627Well it's not so much the association with them, because I've literally NEVER talked to ANYONE in real life about the Hellaverse shows... I'd rather have them know I'm a degen closet furfag. However, it's more so the constant fan service put into the show. I dunno. I can't remember why I hate it so much, but it just feels so cringe, like something edgy I'd watch on Newgrounds in 2003. I'm 31 :/
>>153720740Ohhhh, THAT. Yeah, that's just Vivzie being Vivzie from what I can imagine, though I'm just a casual observer of her work myself.
>>153720408Turns out making the mains unlikable characters eventually gets annoying.
>>153721089Well it's not even just that, but the writing is atrocious."Why don't you go suck a fuck, you cum-guzzling whore cunt! *waits for laughter*"Meanwhile when it comes to relationshit drama, all the characters act like middle schoolersBooooring. That would have been so funny when I was 12 years old... 20 years ago
>>153720408It was always bad and you're finally out of your teenage edgy phase, the only good aspect about it was some of the music. The character designs are garish, the writing is highly inconsistent and frequently relies on retcons, the setting is nonsensical, it's just not good.
>>153721089The issue is we're 2 seasons in and you can go to the wiki, cut Blitzo's entirely personality section. Replace it with "He has borderline personality disorder". And you'd still have largely summed up his entire fucking character.Angst is great at providing the illusion of depth. The vast majority of how it "develops" the characters is providing flashbacks designed to further solidify how they're actually "really sad victims a-bloo-bloo".
>>153721667you don't say...
>>153720408>Helluva BossIt's completely changed directions from what the show originally promised and is now basically "I am gay and sad about my dad">Hazbin HotelIt's a fucking mess and I feel like the only reason people like it so much is because of the pilot and self-reinforcing fandom influence.
>>153721702>BECAUSE SINGING KILLED MY GRANDMA, OKAY!?
>>153721702The fact that everything is a daddy issue is a separate problem with the writing.We've all gone over the fact that Vivzie clearly has her own as seen by how it's "flawed and distant but trying and secretly actually really loves his daughter UwU" contrasted to "irredeemable piece of shit."Using the latter to absolve the flaws of the former. Which is sort of the big problem with how she writes in general. Whenever Blitzo or Stolas fuck up too bad, the shows immediate move is to suddenly pivot towards whatever it can do to soften that particular blow. A flashback here, a character saying "Actually you're a good person" there.Stella acts comically evil because a regular dysfunctional marriage would leave Stolas too accountable on being a shit dad. Make Octavia an idiot so she doesn't actually call out his real fuckups.

>>153720408Because the concept of Hazbin Hotel is more fun than the show itself....because THE HAZBIN HOTEL Show is not actually about the hotel
>>153720408>Why don't I like Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel anymore? That's called growing up.
