My sinful desire to become what some lost souls would call a “hazbean” began with my first review of “That’s Entertainment”, the pilot for Hazbin Hotel back in 2019 [78] [79]. It then processed when I spotted and proceeded to analyse the trailer for the pilot of Helluva Boss, its sister series [82] [83]. Almost a year after the acclaim of its pilot, Helluva Boss has become a phenomenal dose of sin for its lively animation, fascinating character progressions, variety of songs and utter raunchiness. Quite similarly, some of our fellow PC gamers will soon be bewitched and bewildered at the bigger post-demo outcome of Romancelvania [57] [58], a spookily zany hybrid of Castlevania and Monster Prom [49] [50] [62]. Still bummed about the second part of the Season One finale of Helluva Boss being postponed [4] [84] [85]? We can always keep waiting for the official French dub of “Murder Family”, the first episode of the first season to be released, especially for our dear French hazbeans [18] [19]. Furthermore, consider this blog post a bonus after the hard work I have put into reviewing most of the first season and the second season so far before the Christmas break [84] [85] [87] [88]. Besides, Princess Deadpool must be a hazbean too [1] [2]!
ANGRY BUFF DEVIL IN THE FRENCH DUB IS ANGRY!!! Oh. And oui, he hired them [82] [83]. [34] |
An episode of the Hazbin Hotel television series might be a Christmas special next year [80] [81]. I will admit that despite that parody of “Holly Jolly Christmas” by Burl Ives I wrote starring the cast of Hazbin Hotel in late 2021 [28] [66] [77], I somewhat questioned the logic of our beloved demons celebrating Christmas in Hell during the Black Friday 2022 merchandise sales [32], quite like how The Flintstones celebrated Christmas, even before the birth of Jesus Christ unless one believes that it actually takes place after the events of The Jetsons [14] [30] [65], but I always find new merchandise delightful in terms of design [32] [37]. Maybe the reason for the celebration of Christmas being present in Hell is that only one denomination of Christianity will lead a soul to Heaven. Besides, in South Park, Mormonism is the correct religion [63]. Additionally, Christmas Time was celebrated in Hell as we could tell by a jolly carol sung by Satan [59]. Moreover, fans of The Cuphead Show hopped onto the Character Development Express as they watched the longest episode of The Cuphead Show [9]. As some ongoing appreciation for Vivienne Medrano’s work outside of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, we can all wish the incredibly touching short silent film known as “Holidaze” a happy third anniversary [36].
Will the writing for the second season of Helluva Boss be improved for some of us [74]? I have nothing against a hazbean preferring the continuity of the pilot and the old Voxtagram images over the continuity of the first and second seasons [5] [33], especially if they have found the writing of the first two episodes of the second season flawed [87] [88]. Speaking of Voxtagram, there was a greatly missed opportunity to reboot the official Instagram account based on Octavia, considering its reappearance in “Seeing Stars” [5] [35] [87] [88]. Along with two cliffhangers from the first season being solved, which is the most essential to me, the rest of the second season ought to focus back on Blitzo’s seemingly illegal but thrillingly antiheroic business at some point [33] [72]. There still ought to be engaging character developments to keep the characters likeable and interesting outside of their notable traits first shown in the pilot, in spite of their flaws [12] [33]. Aside from the nostalgia we will have for what is not considered only partially or no longer canon [5] [33], there is always hope for what is still canon to be even better in terms of a specific aspect whilst maintaining the undeniable excellence of others [3] [74] [87] [88].
As I have stated before, there is speculation of the continuity of “That’s Entertainment” being partially redundant due to the redesigns of several characters, along with new voice actors [22] [33] [80] [81]. During the celebration of Halloween, the redesigns of three overlords whose names begin with “V” were revealed [17]. Valentino is, without a doubt, the most controversial Hazbin Hotel character so far [20] [21], disturbingly similar to Sexual Offender Man [8] [42], even though there are some exceptional voice acting works that convincingly bring his character to life [7] [46] [47] [48]. As for his redesign, there is not much change, except that the tip of the feather on his hat is now heart-shaped [17]. Velvet’s name has been changed to “Velvette’s” and her design is most drastic [5] [22] [24] [33]. As for Vox, his head was originally going to resemble an older-styled television set as a sign that he died in the 1950s [25]. in his updated design for a modern adult audience, could his relationship with Valentino still be abusive [5]? I am aware that a pilot is hardly ever classified as part of a series’ continuity due to how there would be eventual agreements to make seemingly necessary changes for an even better outcome, but there is still nothing wrong with preferring specific aspects from a pilot over the changes for the first season [80] [81].
Do you suppose that there will be any further LGBTQIA+ representation in both cartoons? It is possible that Andrealphus will be gay [23], just like his brother-in-law [34], but perhaps he could also be biromantic as biromantic homosexuals are just as valid [53]. It could be possible that Angel Dust is not only gay with some bi-curiosity but also demiromantic due to his constant sex jokes and dedication to his career as a porn star [22] [29] [33] [78] [79]. Perhaps there could be some asexual representation in a new episode, like the brief but rather convincing asexual representation from Alastor in Hazbin Hotel and the portrayal of Todd Chavez’s asexuality in BoJack Horseman [40]. I would be delighted to see Octavia officially come out as an asexual lesbian to increase of cast’s diversity even further [70]. On the other hand, she could come out as aroace, which could also apply to Sonic the Hedgehog [44] [51] [52] [64]. I am also up for an official non-binary character who uses They/Them pronouns [41], much like how I am up for an interpretation of Kaa in a new adaption of The Jungle Book who is non-binary [67] [86]. Who knows how well new aspects of characters’ sexualities and identities be portrayed in the depths of Hell?
I believe that I shall retire from Twitter eventually due to its toxicity [68], even though I am grateful for the compassion I have received on the platform outside of the negativity [26] [27]. In addition to a lighter note, there will be a lot more festive cheers this December besides a Wishentine’s Day with our bronies and pegasisters on Netflix [75] [76]. Apart from having no shame in his nakedness, Stolas of the Ars Goetia sure would not look foolish in a Naughty jumper, even when he is on the Nice list [55] [56]. I am considering reviewing the third episode of the second season of Helluva Boss separately due to the confirmation of episodes taking longer to produce, compared to the first season [73] [84] [85]. Aside from hopes for the writing of the second season to improve, it seems likely that the Hazbin Hotel television series will be available on Netflix, just like all three seasons of The Cuphead Show [43]. In the meantime, a certain merc with a mouth is yet to keep on rapping outside of his occupation as a mercenary and his little Laurapop shall continue to write zany song parodies [11] [31] [77], even if the progress will require some collaboration [13]. I hope my loyal readers and followers will have a Merry Christmas this December.
I suspect that Deadpool, Blitzo’s brother from another mother could bake cookies that contain cyanide for those on his Naughty list [16] [86]. Stay sinful, murderous imps, royal owls and so on! [34] |
