Don't know why people in the thread talk about this so favorably.
Reminds me of the third season of Drawn Together where the writers got distracted playing XBox at the office, and it just became the Captain Hero Likes to Fuck Corpses show.
Dark humor is making jokes about something tragic.
An then would later complain how their show tanked because of South Park and how they would gladly stab the creators in the streets.
Eh, I don't see anyone particularly loving this joke. If HB was a properly produced show, this short would probably be a throwaway b-plot in an episode about Moxie and Millie hanging out with neo-nazi jihadist bikers.
I found that weird too, almost like a payoff without the proper setup, maybe they didn't want Loona to be the one that finished off not-Mr. Rogers so they could had Blitzo do that? Because outside of that his participation in this mission felt very pointless.
I didn't particularly like the short. I thought it was really boring. I really only laughed at the guy's initial reaction to Loona. It's nice to see a human character reacting to how most people would when seeing one of these things in real life instead of just being dumb and/or corny. The joke does get ruined because they decide to linger on the whole death sequence way too long (which is just a problem with Helluva Boss's writing in general. Something could be initially funny but because they drag it out it ruins the comedic effect). Also I just didn't really feel anything for Loona's "character development" because I know it's not going to translate to the actual show itself, so why should I care if Loona had a nice conversation with some rando? It's not going to matter in the long scheme of things.
People really forget how dark this show used to be. Rewatch the pilot or any of the episodes of Season 1 when Brandon was the lead writer. There's an entire episode where IMP is encouraging an old man to commit suicide. This short wouldn't have been so out of place back in season 1. It's just really out of place now because the show has changed to be a melodrama musical where you're supposed to be on the side of the protagonists.
Lmao the part where he pictures himself and Stolas with the kids was so fucking retarded
I was kind of rooting for Blitz but now I hope that stupid faggot keeps bitching out clients for going after gays and ruins his business.
Well, Stolas is sleeping on Blitz’s couch after the trial now. Blitz made him breakfast, and he bitched about it, so that’s a real good sign.
I watched it just a little earlier today and kinda found it funny, if a bit oddly paced and stiffly animated (likely due to how once again both of these shows originally intended for squash stretch funnies shifted to standing still melodrama shit it takes a while to get into the groove of actual dynamic animation) was surprised that despite it being like that it had a form of comedy similar to the earlier episodes. Not as good, but not that bad. As you said though this isn't gonna carry over into the "actual show" so it doesn't even fucking matter.
>"There's nothing wrong with being a transphobe."
Not bad, but a wasted/pointless short, it would have been much better if the dude was living his life (being a good person), while Blitz and Loona are stalking him, until Blitz kills him at the end because rent doesn't pay it self, and then have Loona feel bad.
Because it's in a different show. They may be in the same headworld but the continuities don't connect. Or, they shouldn't.
On some level I kinda get what they’re doing with Loona’s eye and hair. Anime tends to do it a lot for some reason or another, like prioritizing facial expressions. Sometimes it’s inoffensive, other times you wonder what the point is, which is the case here.
The series implies that who goes to Heaven and Hell is completely randomized since its shown not even angels know what gets someone into Heaven.
THEORETICALLY HEAVEN SHOULD KNOW GIVEN THE SHIT WITH THE CHERUBS AND THE HEAD SERAPHIM HAS A FUCKING OMNIPOTENT CRYSTAL BALL WHILE WORRIED ABOUT AN UPRISING YET DOESN'T SEEM WORRIED ABOUT THE FUCKING IMPS MURDERING PEOPLE
Thankfully Vivzie removed the problem being overpopulation and instead the head angel being an over paranoid nutjob being manipulated that there's some Hell uprising yet Charlie still thinks the problem is overpopulation despite knowing some of the truth.
This is all we got on the client, which again really worsens when you make Helluva Boss into a genuine drama and have it be set in the same universe where angels are genuinely worried about a demonic uprising.
Telling kids you're always going to permanently be the sex you were born as isn't hatred or transphobia, it's just reality. Get over it.
I get the feeling a lot of people didn't like the ending. But Vivziepop fans are hiding behind the usual "Well what do you expect they're demons" excuse that always seems to become irrelevant when it's back to "Aww look how sad Blitzo is"
