Honestly, Hazbin Hotel is becoming more like Helluva Boss where the more I think about it, the more shitty it becomes to me. Maybe it's my fault for overanalyzing everything, but I can't help it. I won't discuss all the things now that I think are bad, but I will bring up some of the most egregious and major flaws.
Like Charlie. Oh my God, Charlie. I didn't think much of her in the pilot, but I wish that version of her was here instead of what we got. She doesn't feel like a main character. She's just...there most of the time, being a caricature of what she was supposed to be. You get the first episode somewhat focused on her, and that's it. Maybe, she'll get some in episode 5 since her dad will be coming to the hotel, but I feel she'll just get drowned out by the other male characters.
And she is a major pushover. I thought she was one in the pilot, but it's so much worse in the actual show. At least pilot Charlie had some backbone. She was confident when she said that Angel Dust was their first patron. She took Katie's pen and got into a physical fight with her on air. She actually commanded Alastor to help her with her project and refused making a deal with him. She did all this, without even going into her demon form. I'm not asking for her to be a fucking badass. She can be naive. But I don't expect her to be a baby that needs to be coddled when the tiniest bits of problems happens. She's the fucking Princess of Hell. Let her have some confidence in her project; not constantly worrying that she's in over her head.
Oh, also her redesign is inferior to her pilot design. Yes, add more red to a character where the background is almost constantly red. Very smart.
