Hey guys, please be respectful in the comments!! We can all have different opinions and thats alright lol. Some of these comments are getting weird. if you dont voice your opinion respectfully, without insults im just gonna delete it
I remember just the other day thinking "wow yknow zemantler seems like the type of person to watch hazbin hotel... i hope she makes a video about it cause that'd be super cool" and then I saw the thumbnail and thought i was crazy or clairvoyant
I kinda like Mimzy's introduction. Not because I like the character, I don't think she was even made to be liked in the first place (aside from cringe humor), but because of the things that happened with other characters as a result of her presence. Husk suspects Mimzy, which drives him to talk about it with Alastor, which leads to Alastor condescending Husk, and Husk jabbing Alastor back with a very important secret of Alastor's, and Alastor angrily threatening Husk into silence. In that short period, we learn a lot about these two characters. That Husk will always speak his mind when he thinks something is wrong, that Alastor's usual friendliness to Husk is but a facade and in reality he views more as just his pathetic slave hardly worth his time, that Alastor believes he's virtually untouchable and any ulterior motives from others doesn't matter because he can just destroy them, but that behind all this bravado Alastor has a dark secret that makes him uncharacteristically vulnerable and lash out. And this is all because Mimzy showed up.
I've just investigated a little, because I remember reading about it! In Angel's wiki page there's a bit of info where Vivziepop says that there's a particular reason he is so brightly colored, and that she wants to explore it in the show. Pink it is a blend between red and white, heaven and hell... So I wonder if the line was particularly blurry when it came to decide where he should've end up. Maybe that's the same for his twin sister (she even wears more black than him).
ok, i watched the whole video i always appreciate your honesty/directness without trying to be mean that makes me enjoy listening to/watching your videos also, LOVE your outfit
The Ser Pentious sex room gag in the club called "Consent" was super weird... it worked as the third part of his "I'm doing (blank) for everybody" joke, but the way he looked so distressed being pulled into the room gave me bad vibes and was inconsistent with the overall theme of the show. I've seen fan speculation that he didn't actually get assaulted in there, because he seems fine and his his clothes are all in order when we see him next, but that is so ambiguous... tbh that was the only part of the show i thought was in genuine poor taste.
On episode 8’s Lucifer-ex-machina: I automatically assumed that he showed up when he did because of his deal with Adam that we heard about in episode 1. “Don’t interfere with the exterminations, and we don’t go after hellborn demons (I.e. Charlie)”, so he literally couldn’t step in until Adam threatened Charlie’s life. Either that, or it was after Lute killed Dazzle, who was a hellborn creature? Guess he did charge a sacrificial lamb in the end. Either way, Adam’s the one who broke the deal, and that avoids future problems with heaven! Of course, the Doylist answer is definitely plot reasons. 😂 I do hope that Lucifer sticks around the hotel a bit more in s2 now that he’s got a penthouse across from Alastor’s radio tower (hilarious), but this also concerns me a bit. If the king of hell (who is immortal and stronger than absolutely everyone there AND most people in heaven) is just chilling in your kitchen, how do you realistically maintain the stakes?? Yes, Charlie is quite independent and likely would go at things on her own out of sheer habit. But like, the Vees could come knocking with an entire army, but if Lucifer’s just doing paperwork in his office what can they realistically do, yanno? He could vaporise them. The writers could make him unavailable on official Hell business some days, but idk. What do you think about this? Makes me a bit paranoid they’re gonna kill him down the line, he’s too powerful and too wholesome, and that’s a mentor/parent death flag if I’ve ever seen one. I hope they don’t httyd 2 us, I don’t think I can handle another Stoick and Valka bittersweet reunion. 🫠
Although I kinda don’t agree with like 90% of your review the one thing I do agree with you on is the fight between Adam and Alastor. There was a lot of build up of how powerful Alastor is but there was no pay off at the end. Also, a lot of people haven’t picked up on this, but the destruction of Alastors staff was (poorly) foreshadowed. The staff is not just a tool but an extension of himself. It’s always in his hands, twirling it around, stamping it into the ground and he hands it to Charlie as a way to show that he also sees her as an extension of himself. Alastor loses the fight to Adam cause he doesn’t make the necessary modifications to his staff with angelic steel like how everyone else modified their weapons. Alastor kinda lives in the past and doesn’t like change. He doesn’t realize that he can’t fight Adam the same way he fought the overlords during his rise to power. This is ultimately what costs him the fight. Unfortunately Amazon made the creative team force everything into only 8 episodes so unless you’re REALLY paying attention, all of this foreshadowing goes unnoticed by most people and Alastors defeat comes out of left field.
Also it's implied Lucifer shows up when he does in the fight because he somehow senses Sir Pentious ascending to heaven and realises Charlie's cause IS worth fighting for and isn't lost yet
Idk because that implies he knew his daughter was fighting the literal excorcists but only cared enough to save her once he realised her cause makes sense like, he would probably fight in the battle only for the sake of helping her and not getting herself killed, right? :D
I saw another video essay which posited that Lucifer was watching and waiting, letting Charlie take charge as the hotel is her thing, then when he saw she might be in actual danger he stepped in. There was also Lute's comment earlier saying hellborn like Charlie are exempt from the exterminations, so he might not have thought Adam would stoop to actually threatening Charlie personally, and stepped in when he realized that was in fact happening.
@@sashacampbell3513 Yeah I see that too! Feel like there's lots of ways around explaining the Deus Ex Machina that is Lucifer, but I also kinda assumed like...he has no real power to resist Heaven so didn't want to intervene until he realised they had a real cause. how tf do they differentitate hellborn and not
@JoanCooperSnark noooo idea how they differentiate hellborn and sinners... we know of established species like imps and hellhounds, but their designs can be quite similar. Maybe they have an angelic HUD that outlines who's OK to kill. LOL.
I love how every video about the show says it’s “surprisingly” good. Why is it a surprise? Because its fanbase is kind of cringe? Think of all the art you’d miss out on if you judged a project entirely on its fanbase. Undertale, Five Nights at Freddy’s, hell, even Star Wars.
I didnt mean it like that, I think all fanbases are to some degree cringe, and thats the beautiful part of it all. Most people expected it to be bad bc of vivziepops and helluva boss’ reputation, and it was also stuck in development for 5 years. It was a pleasant suprise!
Love seeing your opinions on Hazbin. I definitely agree that the ending could have been paced better. I will say Mimzy was definitely useful for quite a few set ups, like the Husk and Alastor interactions and Lucifer pointing out that sinners weren’t redeemable to Charlie and causing her to voice her upset with Lucifer. I do agree that she seemed mostly pointless as an actual character though and was really only there for the plot set-up.
I frankly loved the show! First show to grab my attention in a long time - for doing something different than the usual. I think it also pokes fun at disney which made me laugh.
It was so nice to see both little 'jabs' at Disney & full scale tributes to old Disney (giving Lucifer a 'never had a friend like me' Genie song with visual references was wondeful).
From first watch, I interpreted a time jump in the Finale songs. It’s a song, the perfect format to condense a season one finale by alluding to what might happen in the next season. This song’s quick format and builds and different perspectives song lends to the indication of time passing. Particularly Vox’s portion shows that Alastor could have been gone for a while and whatever that length of time was is how long the hotel spent in construction.
I would like to see Lucifer interacting more with Charlie, maybe training her in how to ise her powers, which really only seem to be available when she's very emotional now.
I'm sorry but many of your opinions sound like you just didn't understand the show or watched it while playing with your phone. You talk about meaningless details like the outline of Vaggie and then say that it actually isn't important so the show's hidden clues and character design aren't that clever? like it wasn't you who misunderstood. A lot of your points come off as sloppy research, I donn't expect you to know all of the extra lore (like for example who the neon overlord is and why she has this design) but you titled this vid as extensive break-down I thought that you would at least understand that the beggining of the "happy day in hell" song is intended as Charlie speaking or rather singing over Vaggie already in her own world. The transition from singing to talking and vice versa is actually a really strong part of the show (example the song "you didn't know"). You saying that many songs could've been cut out entirely really drives home the point of this review being shallow. There are also some takes that just show you didn't check the answer for your question that you present to us like the outfit of Angel Dust you said he is an adult film star not a salesman so why the suit but in other part of the vid you say yourself that he comes from mafia family or critique of the shortness of Alostor and Adam fight-Alostor was confident at the beggining of the fight and said Adam was sloppy becouse non of them ever fought with Adam so they didn't know what exactly he is capable of. Sorry for the long comment but I just really didn't like your take on the show and this vid certainly doesn't make me want to check out your other vids.
No need to check out my channel if you dont like my opinions :D As ive said, i did no research because i wanted to go into the show as an average viewer. you cant expect everyone to scroll trough fandom wiki for hours after finishing a show. In other videos, I make research w sources linked and everything. Youre free to have your own opinions on any media, thats the fun of media criticism, but so do I, so its kind of dumb to assume i just watched it with my phone open. Lets agree to disagree!
And as I said I don't expect you to know every detail and easter egg but you fundamentaly misunderstood basic fragments and scenes that's why I assumed you didn't pay too much attention to it :p
How the hell do you read people's minds?????????? You literally post a video as soon as I finish a certain serie, like in this case. I just finished Hazbin Hotel and as soon as I open CZcams, yours is the first video I see lol
That's so funny actually bc this video has been in the works since beginning of february and I actually wanted to release it on sunday! What are the odds of us synchronizing like this lol
Great video, I don't have any crituique(cant spell) but I would love to see a video about theories surrounding Hazbin Hotel one day. We have to wait a few years till GO comes out sadly.
Thank you!!! Maybe one day. I don't really want to focus on one series for longer periods of time anymore like i did before w GO and OFMD because I've realized that'll build me a following of people expecting ONLY that content from me, which is really exhausting. I have a lot more to say on Hazbin so I would love to talk about it again but yeah, time will show :D
(Ps your video came up as a suggestion- as I have been doing research for a video series- I needed a break from making card videos lol. Keep up the great work!)
Gotta give you props for your backdrop choices! Scott pilgrim and radiohead 😊 Please do a vid on Helluva boss too! Its definitely worth watching. I plan on doing one eventually.
Just a note from the beginning segment of the video: you mentioned that you didn't really like that the exterminations were "cancelled" after the battle. They didn't mean extermination*s* plural, they just meant THAT particular extermination (the one that came early) was cancelled (reasonably so, as their leader was killed so they fell back). That doesn't mean that all future exterminations are cancelled, at least not that we know of yet 👍
in regard to the character designs, Vivziepop explained it. when Sinners die and go to Hell, they're given Demon forms that act as a reflection of their life and death. meanwhile, Winners, the souls who go to Heaven, are given Angel forms with the same purpose. about the suits, each character wears a different type of outfit depending on the time period they died in and their status in life. for example, Sir Pentious died in 1888, and was an inventor in life, so they gave him a suit and top hat.
Alright, somebody else said their own thing about Luci showing up but I'm gonna add my thing in because there is way more foreshadowing for this one. 1) The first people Lucifer says Hi to are important - Charlie, obviously, his kid his pride and joy. Keekee, the key to the hotel, welcomes him happily. And then, Razzle And Dazzle, which he says to (paraphrased i think) "Are you taking care of my little girl? You better be". Which implies they have an actual role in her life - it gets expanded on when she turns demon and they turn with her. So, they're like, her Guardians, nice, good we established that. 2) In the song Al and Luci have, one of the lines Luci sings to Charlie is that "It won't cost you a sacrificial lamb." (paraphrased) while DAZZLE is shown, tied up on the table like a sacrifice. So there is that foreshadowing, but it also shows that they're connected with the Morningstars as they show up more in Lucifers part. 3) Dazzle is the one to die, sacrificing his life for the power couple of the show. And after his death who shows up and says they're sorry for being late? Lucifer. Lucifer in general has actual motives to show up. As it's shown in "More than anything" he's scared of Heaven (Angels) hurting Charlie. That is his biggest fear. In the same song he is shown putting Charlie in the spotlight while also being there to catch her if she falls. Which is what he does in the finale. Like, straight up - he shows up when Charlie needs his help and catches her, twice actually. 4) "But why couldn't Alastor or Charlie beat Adam?" (ignoring that Nifty killed that bitch, as she should btw) Because the entire season Alastor is the one showing off his powers and defending the hotel. Charlie does nothing like that - she stays back even though she is more powerful than him, she is just very inexperienced (which is interesting, but its not important right now) - Alastor is trying to seem like the biggest and scariest motherfucker around, picking a fight with the literal King of Hell just to get under his skin, until he picks a fight with Adam, who does not have to play nice with him like Lucifer had to, and he beats him. Alastor needed to be humbled after showing off the entire season for no reason other than trying to gain control and get himself on Charlie's good side (he is not fighting for Love like everyone else is, wink wink). Which leaves Charlie as the strongest, and she's the biggest pacifist around. That girl does get mad, so many times this season but she has no actual experience with her powers (as shown with her unlocking one protecting her dad). So, she can't win either. And Lucifer has to show that he did actually mean what he said and sang to his kid. Anyways, this is way too long but I was planning to talk about this either way. It is kinda sad that the actual time the show does "show and tell" properly people don't really pick up on it. Also, Adam and Lucifer had to fight at some point, we needed something from these two, as they literally know each other from the beginning of the world lmao. Also this is not negative or anything, I'm just a yapper when I'm passionate about something and sleep-deprived.
I would think that Adam is as powerful as Charlie. Like in the (idrk what it's called) where we see the different grade of powers in Hell. Like the imps are at bottoms then it's the sinners then the Overloads etc. I think that Adam would be in the same power level as Lilith and Charlie. So way more powerful than Alastor and as powerful as Charlie but less than Lucifer. And it makes sense since he's like Lilith, but the opposite. While the first woman Lilith inherited demonic power, he inherited angelic powers
Omg. What the hell? Literally when the 5th and 6th episodes came out i got super sick too, and in my sleep i kept dreaming and hearing alastor too? Help? AND I WAS ALSO UNCONTROLLABLY SHAKING??? I think hes coming for us
Adam is one of my favorite characters, to me, he is well written villain. Vivienne and some animators and writers wrote on Twitter that he is one of their favorite characters, and how fun they have writing him. A charismatic funny cocky toxic spoiled misogynistic sexist based douchebag that you have fun love to hate. And there is a reason why he is that evil. He wasn't evil when he was alive, he was just a selfish person who fought his wife was made for him in his eyes, because she appeared a little bit later after his birth, and he wanted her to do what he wants, he demanded control, let's not forget that he is first human, he didn't have parents who could teach him a discipline and what's right and wrong, he grew up in the environment that morals for humanity didn't existed yet, when he get to heaven, Sera didn't make him realize that he made mistake, and the fact that Lilith didn't submit his will, and later with lucifer exposed earth to the root of all evil, and perhaps possessed his new wife Eve, in Adam's eyes that makes his actions, his idea "that woman are not equals as him but a man's additions who should submit him" look good, when Lilith and Lucifer are villains in his point of view. Also in hazbin hotel he didn't ate the fruit of knowledge, because of this, he didn't gain knowledge, did not allow him to realize his mistakes, and cannot find the difference between good and evil, so he has black and white views. And then Sera gives him a royal fancy live, that he will get anithing he wants on the silver platter, and not facing a consequences of his mistakes, and he lived like Kuzco, without love and discipline reveling in power in ten thousands years, so what's why he is so spoiled and has God complexes, because of the fact he get from Sera and Elders that he is the first human, a special who gave birth to humanity, in first episode he was wrong, but he didn't lied because he genuinely believes that he said.
I disagree because Charlie and Lucifer's relationship wasn't awful, it's just that they didn't talk, and he didn't really have faith in her dreams -- that doesn't mean that they're relationship can't be repaired with a convo, which they have, and they have it this late presumably because they both needed a reason to motivate them to have the convo. You don't always immediately talk to someone about things, especially if you strongly disagree with them on something. But with the chance at repairing a relationship and getting to see each other again, Lucifer shows up, he then steps up when challenged, allowing him to talk to Charlie, who finally manages to get through to him and convince him to let her speak to heaven one more time, and finally Lucifer just kind of acknowledges that she's his daughter, so obviously she's going to be ambitious and whatnot ... Meanwhile the reprise sucked because Vaggie and Charlie ping pong from one relationship state to the other throughout the series multiple times and it felt very mid in both visuals and vocals in comparison -- plus at this point, More Than Anything in the context of the show felt like a father-daughter song, not a girlfriend song... So I think the reprise was one of the weaker songs of the series, somewhere beside the Welcome to Heaven Song which I agree wasn't all that great. Also, I do agree on the swearing with Alastor, and the fact that Characters aren't really all that intimidating... except maybe Valentino... but Valentino isn't so much intimidating as a total creep. He's disturbing more than intimidating.
it was so funny to me that charlie was still so weak even tho she got a power-up and was "angry" its just so hilarious. Even Alastor had better chances against Adam and the whole fandom says shes stronger than him🗿
Well, it kind of makes sense if you consider that Charlie doesn't strike us as one to have had prior fighting experience (we also know she didn't spend much time with Lucifer growing up, so wouldn't have learned from him). I totally blame her parents for leaving her unprepared, forcing her to rely on her position to avoid fights. She spent part of the 'fight' _apologizing_ to the exorcists for blocking their attacks. She probably spent most of her fight with Adam focused on Vaggie, which doesn't help things. Even with all the genetic cards in her favor, she's still super new to using ANY aspect of her 'power', so will need to work on it.
I'm soooo not agreeing with her criticism and then she drops the songs part and goes with "Loser baby is my favourite song" and I'm immediately going "oh, she's one of those"
i didnt say loser baby is my favorite song, I said its overall probably the best one out of the series. my fav is either stayed gone or out for love lol

Thank you!!! Maybe one day. I don't really want to focus on one series for longer periods of time anymore like i did before w GO and OFMD because I've realized that'll build me a following of people expecting ONLY that content from me, which is really exhausting. I have a lot more to say on Hazbin so I would love to talk about it again but yeah, time will show :D
Critique, that is how it is done.
(Ps your video came up as a suggestion- as I have been doing research for a video series- I needed a break from making card videos lol. Keep up the great work!)
Thanks a lot!! Good luck w the video series :]
Gotta give you props for your backdrop choices! Scott pilgrim and radiohead 😊 Please do a vid on Helluva boss too! Its definitely worth watching. I plan on doing one eventually.
Just a note from the beginning segment of the video: you mentioned that you didn't really like that the exterminations were "cancelled" after the battle. They didn't mean extermination*s* plural, they just meant THAT particular extermination (the one that came early) was cancelled (reasonably so, as their leader was killed so they fell back). That doesn't mean that all future exterminations are cancelled, at least not that we know of yet 👍
in regard to the character designs, Vivziepop explained it. when Sinners die and go to Hell, they're given Demon forms that act as a reflection of their life and death. meanwhile, Winners, the souls who go to Heaven, are given Angel forms with the same purpose. about the suits, each character wears a different type of outfit depending on the time period they died in and their status in life. for example, Sir Pentious died in 1888, and was an inventor in life, so they gave him a suit and top hat.
Alright, somebody else said their own thing about Luci showing up but I'm gonna add my thing in because there is way more foreshadowing for this one.
1) The first people Lucifer says Hi to are important - Charlie, obviously, his kid his pride and joy. Keekee, the key to the hotel, welcomes him happily. And then, Razzle And Dazzle, which he says to (paraphrased i think) "Are you taking care of my little girl? You better be". Which implies they have an actual role in her life - it gets expanded on when she turns demon and they turn with her. So, they're like, her Guardians, nice, good we established that.
2) In the song Al and Luci have, one of the lines Luci sings to Charlie is that "It won't cost you a sacrificial lamb." (paraphrased) while DAZZLE is shown, tied up on the table like a sacrifice. So there is that foreshadowing, but it also shows that they're connected with the Morningstars as they show up more in Lucifers part.
3) Dazzle is the one to die, sacrificing his life for the power couple of the show. And after his death who shows up and says they're sorry for being late? Lucifer.
Lucifer in general has actual motives to show up. As it's shown in "More than anything" he's scared of Heaven (Angels) hurting Charlie. That is his biggest fear.
In the same song he is shown putting Charlie in the spotlight while also being there to catch her if she falls. Which is what he does in the finale. Like, straight up - he shows up when Charlie needs his help and catches her, twice actually.
4) "But why couldn't Alastor or Charlie beat Adam?" (ignoring that Nifty killed that bitch, as she should btw)
Because the entire season Alastor is the one showing off his powers and defending the hotel. Charlie does nothing like that - she stays back even though she is more powerful than him, she is just very inexperienced (which is interesting, but its not important right now) - Alastor is trying to seem like the biggest and scariest motherfucker around, picking a fight with the literal King of Hell just to get under his skin, until he picks a fight with Adam, who does not have to play nice with him like Lucifer had to, and he beats him. Alastor needed to be humbled after showing off the entire season for no reason other than trying to gain control and get himself on Charlie's good side (he is not fighting for Love like everyone else is, wink wink). Which leaves Charlie as the strongest, and she's the biggest pacifist around. That girl does get mad, so many times this season but she has no actual experience with her powers (as shown with her unlocking one protecting her dad). So, she can't win either. And Lucifer has to show that he did actually mean what he said and sang to his kid.
Anyways, this is way too long but I was planning to talk about this either way. It is kinda sad that the actual time the show does "show and tell" properly people don't really pick up on it.
Also, Adam and Lucifer had to fight at some point, we needed something from these two, as they literally know each other from the beginning of the world lmao.
Also this is not negative or anything, I'm just a yapper when I'm passionate about something and sleep-deprived.
I would think that Adam is as powerful as Charlie. Like in the (idrk what it's called) where we see the different grade of powers in Hell. Like the imps are at bottoms then it's the sinners then the Overloads etc. I think that Adam would be in the same power level as Lilith and Charlie. So way more powerful than Alastor and as powerful as Charlie but less than Lucifer. And it makes sense since he's like Lilith, but the opposite. While the first woman Lilith inherited demonic power, he inherited angelic powers
I find it funny this video released just a few hours after I started to watch this series 🤭 (I'll come back later, I don't want to be spoiled)
Based on these comments, youre not the only one! What a weird concidence :D C u later!!
Omg. What the hell? Literally when the 5th and 6th episodes came out i got super sick too, and in my sleep i kept dreaming and hearing alastor too? Help? AND I WAS ALSO UNCONTROLLABLY SHAKING??? I think hes coming for us
All of the things you were saying about character design! Yes! Thank god someone else said it
I love hazbin but i hate the dinosaur design too
repectully. Sir Pentious is sssspecial little man!!
Love your content
Adam is one of my favorite characters, to me, he is well written villain. Vivienne and some animators and writers wrote on Twitter that he is one of their favorite characters, and how fun they have writing him. A charismatic funny cocky toxic spoiled misogynistic sexist based douchebag that you have fun love to hate. And there is a reason why he is that evil. He wasn't evil when he was alive, he was just a selfish person who fought his wife was made for him in his eyes, because she appeared a little bit later after his birth, and he wanted her to do what he wants, he demanded control, let's not forget that he is first human, he didn't have parents who could teach him a discipline and what's right and wrong, he grew up in the environment that morals for humanity didn't existed yet, when he get to heaven, Sera didn't make him realize that he made mistake, and the fact that Lilith didn't submit his will, and later with lucifer exposed earth to the root of all evil, and perhaps possessed his new wife Eve, in Adam's eyes that makes his actions, his idea "that woman are not equals as him but a man's additions who should submit him" look good, when Lilith and Lucifer are villains in his point of view. Also in hazbin hotel he didn't ate the fruit of knowledge, because of this, he didn't gain knowledge, did not allow him to realize his mistakes, and cannot find the difference between good and evil, so he has black and white views. And then Sera gives him a royal fancy live, that he will get anithing he wants on the silver platter, and not facing a consequences of his mistakes, and he lived like Kuzco, without love and discipline reveling in power in ten thousands years, so what's why he is so spoiled and has God complexes, because of the fact he get from Sera and Elders that he is the first human, a special who gave birth to humanity, in first episode he was wrong, but he didn't lied because he genuinely believes that he said.
I disagree because Charlie and Lucifer's relationship wasn't awful, it's just that they didn't talk, and he didn't really have faith in her dreams -- that doesn't mean that they're relationship can't be repaired with a convo, which they have, and they have it this late presumably because they both needed a reason to motivate them to have the convo. You don't always immediately talk to someone about things, especially if you strongly disagree with them on something. But with the chance at repairing a relationship and getting to see each other again, Lucifer shows up, he then steps up when challenged, allowing him to talk to Charlie, who finally manages to get through to him and convince him to let her speak to heaven one more time, and finally Lucifer just kind of acknowledges that she's his daughter, so obviously she's going to be ambitious and whatnot ...
Meanwhile the reprise sucked because Vaggie and Charlie ping pong from one relationship state to the other throughout the series multiple times and it felt very mid in both visuals and vocals in comparison -- plus at this point, More Than Anything in the context of the show felt like a father-daughter song, not a girlfriend song... So I think the reprise was one of the weaker songs of the series, somewhere beside the Welcome to Heaven Song which I agree wasn't all that great.
Also, I do agree on the swearing with Alastor, and the fact that Characters aren't really all that intimidating... except maybe Valentino... but Valentino isn't so much intimidating as a total creep. He's disturbing more than intimidating.
12:21 that's angel's sisterrrr
15:14 I think that's his claw tbh not gloves
it was so funny to me that charlie was still so weak even tho she got a power-up and was "angry" its just so hilarious. Even Alastor had better chances against Adam and the whole fandom says shes stronger than him🗿
Well, it kind of makes sense if you consider that Charlie doesn't strike us as one to have had prior fighting experience (we also know she didn't spend much time with Lucifer growing up, so wouldn't have learned from him). I totally blame her parents for leaving her unprepared, forcing her to rely on her position to avoid fights.
She spent part of the 'fight' _apologizing_ to the exorcists for blocking their attacks. She probably spent most of her fight with Adam focused on Vaggie, which doesn't help things. Even with all the genetic cards in her favor, she's still super new to using ANY aspect of her 'power', so will need to work on it.
she has potential to be more powerful than Adam. she’s a fallen angel’s daughter. she just needs to learn how to use them properly
yay
I'm soooo not agreeing with her criticism and then she drops the songs part and goes with "Loser baby is my favourite song" and I'm immediately going "oh, she's one of those"
i didnt say loser baby is my favorite song, I said its overall probably the best one out of the series. my fav is either stayed gone or out for love lol
