This is a reflection on a teaser trailer for the second season of an animated series that contains content aimed at mature audiences, including:
- Mildly disturbing imagery
- Cartoon violence, including blood
- Suggestive sexual references
Reader discretion is advised.
Especially after being seduced by the voice of the announcer of the 2022 Valentine’s Day merchandise sales [39] [56] [63], I am still enticed just thinking about how the sinful legacy of Helluva Boss can be expanded for a new season. Earlier this month, it was announced that not only will the second part of the season finale rise from the depths soon but is already some progress of Season Two in the works, which shows how dedicated the creative team is still being. Moreover, I will be sure to brace myself for the second part of the first season’s finale first sometime after witnessing Charlotte Magne…or Charlie Morningstar’s updated design with notable differences on the evening 2022 was gazing at its reflection in a mirror and feeling alive as I encountered a new Monster High doll line [30] [31] [33] [60] [90]. While a long-running cartoon like Arthur can eventually come to an end with a highly satisfying conclusion [88], a cartoon that still has a lot more potential to show like Helluva Boss can warm up for a new chapter [60]. In the meantime, let us reflect on what we have seen in the teaser trailer during the Christmas break and expand on what we can expect from the final outcome.
I just love the colour palette for the limited stock of these Valentine’s Day pin up pins [39] [63]. Valentine’s Day may be over, but there is still a lot of love to go around, even in Hades. [56] |
Look out! He’s got a gun!! [57] |
Call Moxxie x Millie sappy all you want, but I do not EVER want them to get divorced. This is coming from someone who wrote a love poem for a special someone [94]. [60] |
There is some hope for Loona to be even closer to Vortex, in spite of the fact he is already in a relationship [61]. I just wonder if his girlfriend will make a debut as a potential love rival for Loona. Aside from the expansion of her feelings towards him, I still believe there can be some growth between her and Moxxie in terms of not only employability but losing the fear of showing vulnerability without completely recycling aspects of growth in “Spring Broken” and “Truth Seekers” [61] [62]. As hinted on Voxtagram, she also appears to be a fan of Flee, a parody of Glee [64]. Yes, I know the Voxtagram stories are no longer canon [97] [98], but I think there can be some adaptions of the posts from mid-2020 that can be updated into witty side events for the second season, such as Stolas’ previous bath time and the trio of diligently brutal imps on a summer vacation [14] [23]. What is more important though is not only solving the two cliffhangers than the fifth and sixth episodes but providing something fairly new for characters like Loona to show further exploration, even though she can still be sassy as her prime trait [97] [98].
Perhaps Charlie from Hazbin Hotel can offer Loona a strawberry frappuccino sometime [33]. [57] |
Bless thee, Stolas! Bless thee! Thou art the owl-daddy-damsel in-distress! Would you be up for giving your impish bittersweetheart a shoulder massage (again) before your captivity [92] [93]? [57] |
Could this royal of the Ars Goetia be a sibling of either Stolas or Stella? [57] |
Bang! Bang! Humans are dead! Fifty bullets! One for each head! One is red! One is blue! The rest are full of hellhound poo! [57] |
Until then, my thoughts on the whole finale of the first season will be established as soon as the second part is released for a clear evaluation [97] [98]. [60] |
