In S1, the only appearances of Stella was of her yelling so it makes sense for her voice to come off as more grating. But even then, it wasn't as bad as S2, when even when she wasn't yelling, it sounded like she was. But this is true for pretty much every character from S1 to S2. Everyone just sounds so much whiny.To be fair, Stella's voice actor is actually british whereas Stolas and Octavia are played by American theater actors trying to put on a british accent. But they can come across as annoying more for the voice direction given, and Stella is the worst of this since ignoring the fan stuff and how she can be interpreted as a character, she's a mustache twirling villain who can be grating if we're being serious.
Honestly, if Travis did straight up call Angel Dust a full on faggot, it probably would have been funnier since not only would it have been unexpected but also would fit into the setting of this world because this is Hell. No one is policing their language. And then Angel Dust responding the way he does would work here because he's probably used to people calling him that, and that being the worst thing you can think to call him is just nothing to him.A guy in a taxi or something calls the spider a faggot, and he responds with "Oh, so orignal—"; I don't know what he says after that because I left the room.
They really should have minimized their use of Alastor in the show. In the original pitch bible, he's not even really the main focus in any episode. He should have been relegated to a threat to the characters; the guy who can offer an easy way out of any conflict. That way the characters have to refuse the temptation, and overcome the problem themselves. A bit cliche, sure, but definitely better than having Vaggie being so gung-ho about how they should be wary of Alastor in the pilot, only to immediately make a deal with him in the next episode.The original pilot alastor was "chill friendly polite but still very clearly evil guy who could kill everyone in the room at any given time but doesn't because he's clearly sticking around because he finds the concept fucking funny." Basically the "closest thing to traditional devil" type of character. I don't even know what the fuck he's supposed to be in broadway/hollywood actor voiceover #503205 voice acted show and I don't think they know anymore either.
