Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Thread - Now a Griefing Thread

[Gondolindrim]

I found “Poison” kinda catchy when I first heard it, perhaps the accompanied flashy animation sequence in the featured episode affected my initial impression. Bad autotune, lame melodic progression and dumb breakdown, but at least it’s not “Addict”, which I despise to the core.

Respectless and Hell is Forever are my favorites. I noticed that I hate every song with Charlie or Alastor in it.

Even the pilot ones?

I actually dig the pilot one, mostly because it feels like a joke song or parody of Disneys stuff. Like, you have Charlie breaking into this musical number and then goes into a fight with the news bitch. Man....I miss Pilot Charlie, she was actually more fun than the one we got.

It's funny because Poison was essentially a replacement for the song Addict. Even funnier because most of the Fandom likes Addict better than Poison too.

I like Addict more than Poison too.

I liked the Alastor song by The Living Tombstone a lot.

Hazbin getting "snubbed" at the Grammy's because anyone older than 17 is thoroughly unimpressed with the writing and songs is pretty funny.

Hollywood conspiracies aside, I don't see the soundtrack of Hazbin Hotel as something to get a Grammy or even an Oscar nomination. It's stylistically diverse, funny and charming at times, well mixed and doesn't start feeling too annoying along the full listen, but it just feels... uninspired? Bland? I mean, don't get me wrong, I loved the electro swing standoff between Lucifer and Alastor and Adam's song is great simply because he's the best character of the series and whoever disagrees is a poser. It's just that all of these songs don't have too much of a character to them, like they ain't got much to stand out on their own. I really don't want to compare it to any Disney-produced or any nominated soundtracks and I frankly don't have the energy to listen to them, but I would assume that they've either left more impact on the culture or were just produced more lovingly.

Part of me thinks the reason they pushed Poison for best song is because it's "Wow so deep!", basically the song equivalent of an Oscar bait movie, because Stayed Gone, Hell is Forever, and Hell's Greatest Dad are massively better than Poison, maybe then it would have grabbed a nom.

Poison sounds nothing like an Oscar bait and definitely not a lyrically deep song. If any, I feel like "Respectless" out of all songs would have ended up a banger and a potential major award nominee, if it was performed by two pop music icons and its part in the episode received additional stylistic treatment.

It's funny because Poison was essentially a replacement for the song Addict. Even funnier because most of the Fandom likes Addict better than Poison too.

Might be due to the fact that Addict came out when Hazbin Hotel was still a pilot and Angel was voiced by Michael Kovach: when a character is created and its actor clicks with it in perfect chemistry, he becomes irreplaceable - the voice actor becomes his voice, just like Brandon Rogers became the irreplacable voice for Blitz. I could think of at least a dozen voices for a gay Italian prostitute spider from hell, which also implies that four years before the release of the pilot VivziePop was considering his voice to be similar to Richard Gere and Steve Buscemi, but Michael has eventually defined both Angel and his voice in other projects - whenever I've heared his voice in other cartoon pilots, like Lackadaisy or Digital Circus, I was instantly thinking of "that Hazbin dude" speaking. His current actor Blake Roman, who I think did a decent job imitating his voice cracking and snarky intonation, won't bring the same energy into Angel Dust as Michael did. Most likely never will. In the context of a song accompanied by an animated sequence that features Angel Dust himself, an avid fan would expect to see and hear the character he got used to adore, yet that same energy is no longer there, even if the arrangement is of a better production quality. Perhaps if Michael's voice was in the first season "Poison" would have found more appeal, but at this point it's just an imitation - a not particularly bad one, but still an imitation.

Honestly I liked most of the songs, the only ones that really bothered me were Poison and the ones where Vaggie was the focus.

Fun fact: When I heard Jax's voice for the first time, I said out loud, "Is that Michael Kovach?" I hadn't heard his voice in 4 years since I first watched the pilot and I still knew it was him.

I personally liked the first half of Hell's Favorite Dad, but then it kind of lost itself for me during the rest of the song, and that its ending was atrocious. I do agree though with Hell is Forever, that was my favorite song and one of the few that I was willing to replay.

Most of everything else I either skipped or disliked. I really just don't like musical segments in general. For me, they have to be both good songs and well integrated into the show.

The Judge really is Alastor but better in every single way x100.

The comments are also worth checking out.

Watched the leak ep, like 2 of the songs (lute and sera's). funny enough, without all the production I just don't like Lute's normal voice at all, but her singing is ok.

the double whammy of 8chan mark mann donating to talk about his asshole pics in the same video is possibly the funniest thing i've seen in awhile.

Yeah and let me tell you, they are not beating the gooner fandom allegations with that shit

This is the problem I have with Viv’s merch - it’s either gooner or edgelord attire most of the time. The only designs I sorta liked were some pins and T-shirts from the springtime and Christmas themed series, because they were cute and the characters didn’t bear crazy autistic faces.

I often find myself asking "who the fuck is going to wear or show this in public?" because honestly, why would you want people to see this shit? However, then I do see people, in fact, wearing this stuff and I'm reminded what Viv's fanbase is like. Very unfortunate.

Going to Art school, I saw a few people have on HB merch, but it was normal shit and not any of the suggestive stuff. And it's not like the art school wasn't full of freaks either. Had one guy coming into class every time with one of those aheago anime girls jackets on. And another professor telling us on the first day of class to not draw sexy wolves in our sketchbook assignments.

Then again, this is the same art school where majority of the students and even a couple of professors shat on Viv and her work so.

And god forbid a Helluva Boss movie comes out, we're gonna see people like this fill up the seats
