I finally watched Helluva Boss! · 11:29am Sep 6th, 2022
I binge-watched all the episodes a few days ago and holy shit! It's the most fucking amazing web series I've ever watched. It's funny, violent, vulgar, terrifying, chaotic, and most of all, horny as fuck. It takes me back to the good ol' days of YouTube when videos with adult themes are thriving and aren't affected by demonetization.
The depiction of Hell is interesting to say the least, though I'm not surprised about the common occurrences of fights and aggression and that it's overpopulated. The animation style, humour, music, voice acting, and moments between Stolas and Blitzo are what got me invested in the show. I can see why it received so much critical acclaim.
My most favourite character is definitely Stolas because of his regality, flamboyance, and how he displays zero shame in expressing his sexually explicit desires to Blitzo. I find it cute and hot that Stolas blushed after Blitzo pulled his head and traced his finger on his chin and they engaged in an amorous tongue action. I know that it's not right to cheat, but looking at Stolas's backstory made me sympathize with him. I'm just as devastated as Stolas upon finding out that his neglectful father, Paimon, put him in an arranged marriage with Stella when he was young.
The character that I hate the most is Stella because she's a violently abusive twat who takes pleasure in tormenting Stolas mentally and emotionally and trash-talking about him during a party. The depiction of a female perpetrator of abuse is really rare and it's important to have that represented to let viewers know that abuse knows no gender.
It was so satisfying to see Stolas finally standing up for himself, no longer taking shit from Stella, and deciding to initiate a divorce. Though I'm afraid for what's going to happen to him once Stella's brother, Andrealphus, makes his debut in the show. I hope that one day, Stolas finds happiness with Blitzo and gets custody of his daughter, Octavia.
Now that The Owl House is on hiatus, I'm so thrilled that I have something to look forward to and I can't wait to see the rest of season 2. Vivziepop, you are a fucking genius!
P.S. I also watched the Hazbin Hotel pilot and I've read that A24 picked it up and produced it into a TV series.
Did you recognize the voice of Moxxie?
Also Stella is a complete idiot for hiring an assassin

Yes, Moxxie is voiced by Richard Horvitz, who is known for voicing Billy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Additionally, Loona is voiced by Erica Lindbeck who voiced Emira from The Owl House.
Yeah, I can agree with that. I hope that Stella and Striker get their well-deserved comeuppances.

Also Invader Zim, a show I haven't seen but am familiar with. Oh and Rodney from Squirrel Boy a show I did watch, along with Billy and Mandy.
And same, and though I don't support domestic abuse, I mean Stella is so enraged and petty that she does see she played herself.
If she loves tormenting Stolas as she says, why hire a gun to kill him?

That's a good question. Why indeed.

Hmmm, probably she's busy being enraged that she ends up not thinking clearly.

Yeah. Because if she has Stolas killed she ironically gives him what he wants, freedom.
