Now that'd be extremely fine and dandy, if it weren't for the fact that the production staff that's trying so damn hard to make us sympathize with the 'bad people' too, creating this weird conflict of interest in the process.
However, I have a feeling that because of this, Viv is going to bend over to her fans and reveal through even an Easter Egg that Mr. Wiggles is a child trafficker billionaire who stayed young because of Loopty Goopty's anti-aging machine. Like, bitch, grow a spine.
If he was married for 74 years then he is way older than Fred Rogers (say he wedded at 18, that would make him 92). This just adds further plot holes like how petty was the client to hold a grudge for that long? Maybe the crew should have looked over that line again during the writing session and changed it so that Mr. Wrigglers was not married for over a half a century! He could have been married for 30 years and in his 50s so he is more like Ned Flanders' age if you want to keep the evangelical strawman. Or they could have played into his age as the final gag of the short where Loona revealing her true self resulted in him dying of a heart attack from the shock.
If the show didn't constantly try to take itself seriously with poorly written character drama, this type of thing wouldn't be a problem.
BINGO! As said over and over again, mysteriously, somehow, the show began to take itself too seriously to the point where the original premise of funny demons in an office killing humans for money no longer looks good even when pushed aside.
Stolitz truly is the bane of this threads existence. It's really annoying to me that Viv doesn't understand that being gay isn't as common among people as she thinks it is.
They kind of have already in the CHERUBS when they were fighting the cherubs, they unintentionally killed pretty much everyone in that theater. Also Millie and Moxxie started just killing random folks in Spring Broken without caring about who their specific targets were. And let's not forget Blitzø's psychotic break in Seeing Stars which caused the death of multiple people who were watching a filming of a TV show. And even though this is just specific to Millie, she did kill a bunch of participants in previous Harvest Moon competitions. Bet those imps probably had family and friends that cared about them too.
It is from the pilot so most likely not canon anymore, but the commercialized they advertised had a client that wanted a biker dead who passed by him while he was burying his girlfriend and testified him in court.
I guess because he wasn't an advocate Viv puts him in the same spot as she does Scott Cawthon; thinking that all Christians just want them dead.
I find it funny because with how progressive she claims to be for the LGBT community, she also has shat on trans men and non-binary people saying they're just confused women, and have stated asexual people to be fake and wanting attention. Of course, now she claims to be asexual along with her bisexuality label so...what does that say about her then.
Wait karen died? But only a holy weapon can permanently kill sinners can't it? If Karen's dead that sucks more ass than blitzo does. Cause like stella and Katie killjoy I actually liked her.
And hell is where all the gay stuff is depicted as somewhat common. Hmmmm... what did she mean by that?
It says a lot where a fucking children's show pulled off the joke better than this short did.
The issue is that they want to portray IMP as a team of sympathetic characters while also making jokes about how nonchalant they are about killing people.
If they really wanted to portray the main characters as sympathetic, than they could have made the series about them gradually transitioning away from being assassins and becoming bodyguards instead.
Well, he kicked her out the window, so she probably survived. Thematically it's the same thing, though, using violence to "teach the bigot a lesson." The only highlight of the whole situation was Stolas being a receptionist.
Someone already pointed out the mr. rogers thing but I don't think this is something that's meant to be overthunk like this. This is like seeing the weird little kid that then goes "GROW UP? I'M 38 YEARS OLD!" in flapjack as some sign of his health as if the things meant in any way shape or form to be realistic. This is the issue with changing a comedy cartoon to bad melodrama and then back again for the "shorts" you start fucking overthinking shit like this when the joke is that mr. rogers died at that age and they're killing a guy that's a mr. rogers reference.
They were blatantly just trying to find a way to drop a 74 years mention because people know rogers died at that age and it's a "haha I know the thing!" kind of one off thing even if it makes no fucking sense chronologically.
It's less about them being sympathetic and more the fact they're trying to portray them with a humanistic moral compass which...doesn't work because the culture of Hell is constantly contradicting itself.
I doubt we'll see her in the show again, just like any other target that IMP has killed. The only reason why we got Martha and Mrs. Mayberry to return was because Morgana wanted a canon sapphic couple in the HB merch run. Also Emberlynn is a (most likely) straight women who is horny about men. That's illegal in Viv's yaoi show.
that’s a shame because I got an idea where he finds her yaoi makes blitz realise he’s stereotype and that their relationship is not real or healthy
Viv: Cope and seethe
