I honestly don't think Stolas looks down on Blizø, but he does have a lifetime of internalized habits he'd need to break down to _treat_ him as an equal.
42:30 The stuff that went down at Ozzies DID happen, yes. But Stolas also made a point of publicly acknowledging Blitz as his darling at the Harvest Moon festival when he invited the gang to Wrath just to hang out and have fun. He stood up for Blitz to the doorman at Ozzies. He stood by him when he was shoved onto a sitcom and sincerely encouraged/ supported him. And while he spoke to him in ways that were condescending, yes, it seems like he genuinely thought it was cute and flirty but it wasn't coming from a place of seeing himself as better than. From where I sit, Stolas genuinely admires Blitz as a person (imp, whatever) and ambitions entrepreneur.
At Ozzies, Stolas was embarrassed about being accused of adultery and betraying his wife and child. It wasn't about Blitzø at all. It's super understandable that Blitzø wouldn't get that but we as audiences have an easier time seeing it.
Stolas totally has a drinking problem, dude is pretty much hungover every time we see him wake up. Hence the groaning, throwing up, or being outright surrounded by booze bottles in one case.
I kinda thought the throwing up indicated he’s TRYING to have a drinking problem and hasn’t the stomach for it. Alcoholics I know can throw back all night and be fine 😅
Mood, same here. And now the overall mood is shifting towards wanting to shake the owl boy and shout "SELF-AWARENESS IS A THING!". 😅 He's still my favorite character but BOY does he live in his own fantasy world at times...
If we ONLY take into account Verosika's point of view, there is something else to take into account besides how Blitzø left him by abandoning him in a motel, stealing his car and using his credit card to buy horse lessons, you must remember that Verosika is a succubus. She is the one who is used to using others for herself but there, the only time she lowered her sentimental armor to admit to Blitzø that she loved him, he did more than reject her, he destroyed her heart . And otherwise, I completely agree, Verosika really needs to get professional help to finally be able to move on.
I wonder what is up with that... How and why are there actually seduction demons...like do the Sins actually want to make people commit sins and go to Hell? Coz why else to give crystals to their employees to allow them to travel to Earth?
@@richardkutsera4992 If we look at what sexual demons do in different myths, we can assume that it is a way for them to feed themselves, just like Bee-lzebub feeds on emotions.
@@rexy3336 Why would they need a legal permit to go to Earth and feed on humans, for that, why could not they just feed on each other, just like how Cannibal Sinners feed on each other?
Kyra: Stolas doesn't drink a lot Stolas with a probable alcohol problem: ???? I love your reactions and insights, that one just made me giggle. Stolas is seen hitting the absinthe HARD a few times, and even in more subtle background shots he often has things like a glass of wine nearby (ie: at the start of the episode, he's drinking wine with his reading, despite it being fairly early morning if some of the other remarks are to be trusted). He isn't shown wasted often, but he definitely turns to alcohol in difficult times (Stella's party - absinthe, after Ozzie's -absinthe, etc).
Also, let's not forget the "happy pills" that, folks have been assuming are normal doctor-prescribed anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medication... Gonna go out on a limb and suggest that a bottle labelled "happy pills" probably is something a bit more ad-hoc.

There's one problem with Blitzo saying his apology to FIzz counts. Blitzo fails to remember that his and Fizz's reconciliation came from the two of them being in a highly tense and emotional situation that resulted in the two laying their emotions bare and actually talking, something that only happened when Fizz kept pushing back at his attempts at brushing off his seemingly contradictory behavior and was punctuated by Blitzo saving Fizz from a situation just like the accident that caused their issues in the first place while proving to Fizz that Blitzo does care about him and is sorry.
Also, Blitzo never "really" apologized to Fizz. He admitted his fault and took responsibility, but clarified that it still was an accident. It was their mutual realization that their lack of further communication was organized by an outside party and Blitzo saving him that rekindled their friendship.
I don't get this. Blitz apologised better than most people would be able to do for something that WAS an accident. That wasn't his fault. And he didn't seek Fizz out because he was told Fizz didn't want to see him when he was about to visit and apologise the first time. Even when Blitz do good things people have to make it look bad. I really don't get it.
I’m not really sure what to say if you can look at how Blitz and Fizz made up and not see it as amazing growth on Blitz’s part. Even if they weren’t set of circumstances, that was Blitz apologizing for blowing up his best friend, which is worse than a breakup, especially considering the rehabilitation Fizz went through. They were also able to acknowledge that they had mutual misunderstandings about the situation, which is also the problem with Stolitz. Blitz managed to fix a relationship in his life that had gone sour fifteen years ago, and most of that was done through actual talking, even if they were being shot at. (Him saving Fizz at the end was a show of how Blitz’s words weren’t just words. He’d already said sorry by then. It was proof that his actions would reflect his feelings.) And now he hangs with Fizz on the regular and schedules in phone calls so they stay in touch. So I think it’s perfectly reasonable for him bringing up how he fixed that relationship when it was altogether worse in basically all aspects and a huge achievement for him. I feel like we, the audience, should be able to recognize that, even if Stolas can’t because he doesn’t know anything about the situation. He didn’t even know Blitz was tied up in Fizz’s kidnapping. So sure, highly tense and emotional situation, but also a feud that had gone on for longer about a much more serious thing, and if Blitz can’t use that as an example of how he can apologize, then it’s because the other person is not receptive the way Fizz was, which Blitz has no control over.
Gonna be honest, Verosika became my second favorite character in Helluva Boss after this episode, just love that she throws the party to try and help others Blitz messed up with Also loved the cake she gave him is his bleeding heart
Fizz is number one for me, he be my concrete favorite when he started signing to that deaf imp child, that just melted my heart. My list might change over time, might be influence by how recent Apology Tour is, but pretty confident Ver will be in top 3 (Ozzy is third currently)
I try not to be prisoner of the moment but I think this is the best episode of helluva boss the character development the songs and the animation is on point
I'm in the camp of people who want a short about how Martha and Mayberry got together, considering the logistics of everything that went down, that's got to be an interesting story. Also, poor fucking Dennis.
Well, he hide his face at ozzies but not because blitz but because he was called of for ruining his family by having this "adventure", he was embarrassed of himself for hurt Via with his love life problems alse yeah, he was never afraid of showing his love, even if he barely goes out of his house, in harvest moon festival, at ozzies accepting the date as a normal thing, telling asmodeus he has feelings for him. He DID show his affection in front of others but yeah, at the same time a lot of his actitudes are kinda messed up in the end both need to heal first before they try something serious
the season 2 trailer has told us the next episode 'Ghostfuckers' comes out in October. Then we have 'Mastermind' in November, then 'Sinsmas' in December.
The looking down on Blitz thing is very much a matter of perspective. Stolas doesn't register that his pet names (out of affection) can come off to others as speaking down to Blitz. He has never, intentionally, talked down towards Blitz.
A recommendation for a series reaction, now that you're all caught-up with Helluva Boss: The Owl House. LOADS of space for you to theory-craft, and examine, and get ALL the feels. Plus, over the three series, there's only two (imo) filler episodes, so it's ALL golden. Besides, if you don't love the protagonist after like the first two minutes? You have no soul. :D
Just a comment on the he doesn't drink much for stolas, I heard some where that he might actually be an alcoholic, I believe anyways, that it's the opposite he drinks to much instead and we haven't seen him take any anti depressants in a few episodes so that isn't good either, these poor baby dummy characters and their trauma and struggles I think vivzie is doing so well with this show honestly. Verosika also called him blitz so that's a step forward at least I think. Don't get me wrong they all need therapy but yeah.
If you're looking for new series to check out, either Owl House or She-Ra and the Princesses of Power would be good ones. I'd also highly recommend Arcane which is one of the best animated shows I've ever seen, and the second season should be dropping later this year.
Watching this episode for the first time when it came out just about broke me. At first, I wasn't sure why it hit me so disproportionately hard, but then I realized how much I have in common with Stolas, not only in how we were hurt in a relationship but also in many of the traits and flaws. If I only liked Stolas before, this episode has cemented his place as my favorite character. We both have some level of self-esteem and social anxiety issues. We are both terrible at reading others and struggle to process social interactions. We both have a very naive understanding of relationships and are clueless about conducting them. We both arguably didn't communicate with and understand our (former) partners enough. In retrospect, it dawned on me just how little I know about my ex. Even the breakup had some uncanny parallels. It was filled with misaligned expectations and misunderstandings. It happened on a special day (The Fullmoon for Stoliz; my birthday for me). I was hoping it would take the relationship to new heights, but instead, it burned it down. To this day, I still sometimes get the eerie feeling that the entire relationship may not be real at all or have meant anything at all to the other person. At some point, the events stopped feeling fictional anymore and became a warped projection of myself that summer five years ago. Yes, Stolas was emotionally (and arguably physically) hurt badly by Blitz, but he is not free from fault in the downfall of Stoliz, far from it. To shove all the blame onto Blitz would be highly hypocritical of me. Stolas's behavior in this episode is understandable since it is difficult to self-reflect when the hurt is still so fresh on his mind. I am also guilty of focusing too much on being hurt and lacking the self-awareness necessary to see just how much I also messed up in the relationship for a very long time. But I am confident that Stolas will start to see his faults soon and get his development akin to Blitz's development in the past two episodes. And I would also need to work on some character development of my own if I desire a healthy relationship in the future. This episode may not be my favorite to rewatch but it is easily the one that had the largest impact on me. I look forward to Stolas's development with a bit of nervousness since I fear it will hit me even harder than these past two episodes. Thanks for your analysis and looking forward to what you have in store for us in the future.
Stolas has been shown drinking alcohol to cope and getting wasted several times in the season (see: the circus-at Stella's party, then after Ozzie's-, the full moon). I genuinely think he's struggling with alcoholism, and this is the first time Blitz sees it
This episode reminds me of why Blitzo is no longer my favorite character. The last episode, he demanded Stolas give him time to think and to not toy with his feelings, saying he was treating him like a plaything. Here, he's doing all those things to Stolas. Their fight happened just the night before. Instead of giving Stolas time, he immediately went to see him and wouldn't leave when Stolas made it clear he didn't want anything to do with him at the moment. This might be an unpopular opinion , but he was sexually harassing Stolas even after Stolas told Blitzo he wasn't interested in having sex. To make things worse, he gave Stolas a very valid reason to not trust him anymore by admitting he knew there was someone out to kill him and never said anything. I think Stolas knows he messed up too since he said so in his song, but that scene where them running as kids breaks to show them as adults with Stolas pulling away as Blitzo storms away shows Stolas is no longer looking at Blitzo with rose-colored glasses. As one of my favorite quotes go, the thing about looking at the world with rose-colored glasses is all the red flags just look like flags. Now that he sees Blitzo, he's decided it's best for them to not be together. I think Stolas made the right choice; they need to work of themselves first.
I don’t think your “unpopular” opinion is all that unpopular I love blitz and even I could see that was a huge YIKES on his part to try and force the sex to happen
@@iknowwhatyouare102 I must point out that Stolas has been sexually harassing Blitz up until Ozzie's. Blitz has asked him to stop many times. Where was this energy against Stolas? If you don't understand the main character, who this show is about by now...
Why would Blitz need to give Stolas time to think when Stolas already had more time than Blitz did? Also I don't think the Striker issue is something that can be used as a reason not to trust Blitz. Why would you tell someone who you believe to be immortal/invincible, which Blitz did until recently, that some psycho/idiot is trying to kill them? Especially if you believe you already handled the situation?
I feel like there should have been one more stop on Blitz's apology tour, but I doubt he'd have it in him to go where it's closest to the root of his emotional problems. His sister, Barbara.
Actually, I think he was doing the mature thing by giving her space when that was what she wanted, but that’s just me. Barbie deserves her own ep for reconciliation.
@@kyratries While that might be true, I think Blitz has a tendency of ignoring the elephant in the room. When he met with Barbie, he wanted to just talk and catch up, pretending that the issues between them don't exist. He needs to have a real conversation with her if they're going to reconcile and that scares the shit out of him. He did the same thing with Stolas at the beginning of this episode. After the shit that went down previously, he sent funny pictures and acted like what happened didn't matter. Blitz hates it when things get real, and that finally caught up to him here. He's finally facing the reality of the true damage he's left in his wake. Which is why I think he should meet up with Barbie, where it all started. I'm not saying that it's the best idea, but it feels necessary.
@@Aqua311 I think we agree here on Blitz in general. I’m just saying that putting Barb in this episode along with everyone else would be a disservice to her. Blitz was right not to go to her when he admitted later that none of those apologies on his tour were true because he was just thinking of Stolas. She deserves his full attention and his full apology for the ways he has hurt her. That’s all!
Watch Helluva Boss they said... it's a funny show with Demons and Dickjokes they said... This feels more like an abusive relationship now... regardless of how much this show hurts our feelings... we want more ^^*
Some potential shows you might like based on your reactions to this show: Buffy the Vampire Slayer -Still holds up well, lots of relationship drama, one of the first shows to have a lesbian character thats a main character and stay in the relationship for multiple seasons. Invincible -Lots of shocking moments, great animation, interesting world building. X-men 97 -Crazy relationship drama, a gender fluid character, deals with the absolute worst (yet believable) sides of humanity. Young Justice -Strong characters that grow over the years, interesting relationships. Harley Quinn -An interesting twist on DC characters. A good adaptation on the Harleys relationships as well as a different version of the joker. Farscape - Amazing characters, a little dated at times, but the writing and concepts carry the hell out of the show. Plus great alien races made by jim henson production (same ones that did star wars original aliens.)
Question now is... is the reason Mayberry want all out postal, that her Husband cheated on her... or that her Girlfriend cheated on her, with her Husband ;P
Wonderful reaction to an amazing episode! I’ve really loved seeing your analysis and understanding of these characters! I’m almost bummed you’re caught up because now we have to wait til the next episode comes out for more! (Also, I just need to say that I loved the way you paused and looked at the camera when Stolas is like “When have I ever looked down on you?” Oh Stolas, honey, do you want a list? 🤣💜 I am really looking forward to the show finally giving Stolas his moment of realization about his part in all of this)
On the Stolas hiding behind the menu point, remember that was /right/ after Ozzy brought up his daughter, "My dark lord how the mighty do fall, You used to have a smoking wife, a kid, you had it all, I hope you didn't give it up so you and him could get it up" I think that his hiding was more out of shame of himself and how his actions affected Octavia, which the song called him out on in front of everyone. He didn't seem at all ashamed to be seen with Blitz in public before or after that. He shamelessly flirted with him at Loo Loo Land and the Harvest Moon Festival, and he told Asmodeus without hesitation that he has feelings for him.
If you're interested in reacting to a musical, Team Starkid has all of theirs on youtube for free. "The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals" is a great horror comedy (you could go by chapter). If you like disney and pixar, then "Twisted: The Story of a Royal Vazier" is both hilarious and heartfelt.
27:19 Excuse me? Stolas doesn't drink a lot? The owl man is CONSTANTLY drinking! There's always at least one glass of wine around him. And haven't you seen him chuck down an entire bottle of absinthe during Stella's 'not divorced yet' party? Stolas has a drinking problem... 😅 (Which gets even more problematic since he's also taking way too many of his 'happy pills'. Alcohol and antidepressants aren't exactly the best combination...)
Some people theorize the guy who asked Stolas to dance may be a spy or a better assassin then Striker cause he had a tattoo that looked a little like a goesia (spelling?) crescent of sorts on his arm. While I think that's possible I kinda want him to just be a normal guy who's just more upfront about what specifically he feels and thinks without being hostile or shouting. Stolas doesn't work well with aggression and while he may be working on it now that's Blitz's go to defense when feeling vulnerable. By this I mean either a week into the relationship after a few times of his "compliments" or maybe from the first one he gets questioned why he thinks Imps want to be addressed in those ways or do Goesia also talk to one another like that cause its rude for him. He was asking throughout his song for someone to tell him what he may of done wrong and could of seen differently but he likely isn't going to get that answer with Blitz. Hearing it from a different Imp may help him with this perspective from their eyes instead of his own.
Yeah, jokes on you, you gotta wait til October with us xD "How is the healthiest relationship in this episode a DEAD CANNIBAL and the teacher who ordered the HIT on her LIFE?" We haven't seen enough of them to know if they are healthy, but the fact the teacher can take her shower at Martha's place? Yeah, they're definitely at a better place in whatever they got going on between them that Blitz and Stolas currently, so not thank you for this realization Kyra xD Thank you, finally someone reacting like me to Bryce's perfect delivery of Stolas' line "my lack of ha ha" x) I doubt it's so much Blitz not accepting being gifted something than him wanting an excuse to see Stolas again, since he changes from "earning my way to Earth" to "angry fuck" later in the conversation x) Stolas is still oblivious to his classicm yes x) Tho the "impish little plaything" isn't the best example because he DEFINITELY said that just to scare the humans, when he turned to Blitz he directly went all "darling" on him x) It's painful to see Blitz self-sabotaging during that first discussion with Stolas isn't it? x) Yes they both messed up but gosh, Stolas WAS willing to hear him out at the time T_T Wow, never seen anyone react so well to seeing Martha and Ms Mayberry together xD Stolas would never kill Blitz, but yep, it's not the time to have this chat. Stolas is drunk, and he still hadn't digested what happened, be it last night (Full Moon) or in the morning. Oh don't worry Kyra, Stolas drinks plenty enough (probably too much, what he threw up at the start of Full Moon look suspiciously like absinthe, and since he was so anxious, I wouldn't be surprised he drank himself to sleep). THANK YOU for noticing the lyrics "don't touch that pretty thing" when Blitz was about to comfort Stolas. YES THANK YOU! They both messed up, and they still both need to apologize to each other.
In Blitzø's defense regarding not telling Stolas about Striker (at least initially)... Stolas had already set up the idea that assassins out to get him were no big deal. Look at LooLoo Land! That was all a big game to Stolas, where a bunch of assassins were out to get him but he wasn't in any real danger and Blitzø was just there to be eye candy taking care of nuisances. And Blitzø KNEW this. It set up a bit of "boy who cried wolf" in regards to Striker (with Striker being the wolf). As far as Blitzø knew, he was just taking care of another nuisance for Stolas. And Blitzø STILL doesn't know that Striker was hired by Stella.
@@FlybyStardancer on the other hand, those assassins had normal guns, and at least Moxie _immediately_ recognized Striker's gun as a Carmine Blessing-tipped Rifle, able to kill demon royalty. So, yes, he didn't take the assassins that were incapable of harming him seriously, but that's not remotely the same situation as Striker. I can't imagine Blitzø didn't recognize the rogue since Moxie did so easily.
I think Stolas should apologise for the sex arrangement (he should've done so in full moon imo), as well, and we're yet to see him apologise to Octavia. Also where is she? He should be spending time with her, especially after the divorce. Good eye, btw, noticing that both Blitz and Stolas are destructive in their relationships one way or another, only that with Blitz it is way more obvious and visible given that Stolas never had the social circle and close relationships to mess up in the first place. As for show recommendations, pleeease watch Arcane. Everything about it is a masterpiece. I had to watch it multiple times, because I kept getting distracted by how gorgeous the animation is. Plus, next season is coming out this november, so not that long of a wait (compared to those waiting since 2021 lmao) Other than that, the Owl House is popularly beloved and usually very requested. I'd say a good start!
One commentor offered up a perfect rebuttal to Stolas' "I don't look down on you" comment in another video. In earlier episodes, Stolas is head many times talking to Blitz in a manner that comes across as more insulting than flirty; always calling him a "little imp" and whatnot. So, Stolas is just as guilty of being a bad person as Blitz...just not in an extreme way
31:20 It seems to me that if Blitz had hypothetically been in Stella’s place, and Stella in Blitz’s place, then nothing would have changed(by the way, about this, Blitz, you really need to apologize to Moxxie for treating him rudely). It's not Stolas' fault, life was brutal to him, but a fact is a fact. He imagined Blitz as his ideal love, although Stolas knew almost nothing about him and met him a whole 15 years later
I don't know for certain but I think Verosika's behavior during the party is an act. She is a performer after all. At least I can see the conversation Verosika being able to act like the party Verosika more than I can vise versa.
I just got Moxxie (Richard's) autograph at Denver Fan Expo earlier today! Unfortunately the Keith David and Brandon Rogers lines had stopped letting people join by the time I arrived.
Wonderful reaction and glad to see you doing well it seems.A lack of communication from each party causes this very precarious castle of cards to crumble, and everything could not be worse, for Blitzo at least, but this is the first positive step, he finally explained what he feels, we had been waiting season the end of season 1 episode 7. Though it is worth mentioning that all the way back in episode 8 of season one, given that Blitzo views himself undeserving here, it is interesting that back in the episode I mentioned he feard dying alone, and named each of the I.M.P. members and stolas, so hsi wants it but continues, even when explaining his problems with/to Stolas. everything has gone from bad to worse, but calling out the trailer, we did see Blitzo defend stolas, and going off the background there, i think we have our final conflict for this season, Apologis for rambling, I may have gone on too long. Please let me know.
For me, it wouldn't be a bad thing if the relationship between Blitzø and Stolas ended because it was toxic. It is toxic for both and if this relationship does not change its nature, it would be better for it to end and for both of them to be able to move on having learned from their mistakes so as not to destroy their next romantic relationship with someone. Ps : Sorry for the double comment but the subjects being so different, it seemed odd to group them in the same one.
dont feel bad stolas wasnt told about striker. his dumbass was at the same table when stella was going on about it with striker. thats on stolas edit HE DID HAVE WARNING FROM HIS OWN WIFE!!!!!!
Try reacting to Yellowjackets, it's incredible, it's so addictive. Take a look at the Trailer and seebif you like it. Buffy the Vampire Slayer series is cool too.
But I think he *wanted* to stay, since he got confused and frustrated by Stolas giving him an out. He just doesn't want to ever feel like he's choosing these relationships for any reason besides sex or money.
Stolas doesn't want Blitz. He just wants SOMEONE who loves him. Reminds me of a friend of mine, who tried his luck with every girl, because he didn't care about them specifically, he just wanted someone.
I honestly don't think Stolas looks down on Blizø, but he does have a lifetime of internalized habits he'd need to break down to _treat_ him as an equal.
Isn't whenever he talks down to him always just "dirty talk", so he doesn't actually mean it?
@@richardkutsera4992what matters is how Blitz receives it
42:30 The stuff that went down at Ozzies DID happen, yes. But Stolas also made a point of publicly acknowledging Blitz as his darling at the Harvest Moon festival when he invited the gang to Wrath just to hang out and have fun. He stood up for Blitz to the doorman at Ozzies. He stood by him when he was shoved onto a sitcom and sincerely encouraged/ supported him. And while he spoke to him in ways that were condescending, yes, it seems like he genuinely thought it was cute and flirty but it wasn't coming from a place of seeing himself as better than.

Yes! This! People forget about all these episodes
At Ozzies, Stolas was embarrassed about being accused of adultery and betraying his wife and child. It wasn't about Blitzø at all. It's super understandable that Blitzø wouldn't get that but we as audiences have an easier time seeing it.
Very much this
Blitzø being at a "People who hate Blitzø" party is sadly appropriate. Nobody hates Blitzø as much as he does.

Mood, same here. And now the overall mood is shifting towards wanting to shake the owl boy and shout "SELF-AWARENESS IS A THING!". 😅 He's still my favorite character but BOY does he live in his own fantasy world at times...

And otherwise, I completely agree, Verosika really needs to get professional help to finally be able to move on.

(Him saving Fizz at the end was a show of how Blitz’s words weren’t just words. He’d already said sorry by then. It was proof that his actions would reflect his feelings.) And now he hangs with Fizz on the regular and schedules in phone calls so they stay in touch. So I think it’s perfectly reasonable for him bringing up how he fixed that relationship when it was altogether worse in basically all aspects and a huge achievement for him. I feel like we, the audience, should be able to recognize that, even if Stolas can’t because he doesn’t know anything about the situation. He didn’t even know Blitz was tied up in Fizz’s kidnapping. So sure, highly tense and emotional situation, but also a feud that had gone on for longer about a much more serious thing, and if Blitz can’t use that as an example of how he can apologize, then it’s because the other person is not receptive the way Fizz was, which Blitz has no control over.
Gonna be honest, Verosika became my second favorite character in Helluva Boss after this episode, just love that she throws the party to try and help others Blitz messed up with
Also loved the cake she gave him is his bleeding heart
I gotta ask who’s your first? 😊 much as I love verosika the main 5, fizz and ozzy are still above her on my list but she’s definitely moved up!
Fizz is number one for me, he be my concrete favorite when he started signing to that deaf imp child, that just melted my heart.
My list might change over time, might be influence by how recent Apology Tour is, but pretty confident Ver will be in top 3 (Ozzy is third currently)
I try not to be prisoner of the moment but I think this is the best episode of helluva boss the character development the songs and the animation is on point
So far, I agree.
I'm in the camp of people who want a short about how Martha and Mayberry got together, considering the logistics of everything that went down, that's got to be an interesting story.
Also, poor fucking Dennis.
What I want is a reveal that meanwhile both the dad and the kids made it to Heaven. That would be hilarious!
Well, he hide his face at ozzies but not because blitz but because he was called of for ruining his family by having this "adventure", he was embarrassed of himself for hurt Via with his love life problems
alse yeah, he was never afraid of showing his love, even if he barely goes out of his house, in harvest moon festival, at ozzies accepting the date as a normal thing, telling asmodeus he has feelings for him. He DID show his affection in front of others but yeah, at the same time a lot of his actitudes are kinda messed up
in the end both need to heal first before they try something serious
the season 2 trailer has told us the next episode 'Ghostfuckers' comes out in October. Then we have 'Mastermind' in November, then 'Sinsmas' in December.
Blitz is pansexual. And yeah it shows with the party, bunch of different types of demons attending. :3
The looking down on Blitz thing is very much a matter of perspective. Stolas doesn't register that his pet names (out of affection) can come off to others as speaking down to Blitz. He has never, intentionally, talked down towards Blitz.
I’m aware. I’ve talked about it a lot in other videos. 😊
A recommendation for a series reaction, now that you're all caught-up with Helluva Boss: The Owl House. LOADS of space for you to theory-craft, and examine, and get ALL the feels. Plus, over the three series, there's only two (imo) filler episodes, so it's ALL golden.
Besides, if you don't love the protagonist after like the first two minutes? You have no soul. :D
She has already seen the owl house. In her reaction to Hazbin, episode 6, she notices how similar Lute looks to Amity
@@Pokeminator Woopsie. Just checked, and yep. TOTALLY must've blanked on that one when watching Kyra's Hazbin reactions. :/
I love the Owl House! So unfortunately can’t do a blind reaction 😢
Just a comment on the he doesn't drink much for stolas, I heard some where that he might actually be an alcoholic, I believe anyways, that it's the opposite he drinks to much instead and we haven't seen him take any anti depressants in a few episodes so that isn't good either, these poor baby dummy characters and their trauma and struggles I think vivzie is doing so well with this show honestly.
Verosika also called him blitz so that's a step forward at least I think. Don't get me wrong they all need therapy but yeah.
Verosika's pain hits 1000x worse when you remember that she's a succubus. True intimacy is extremely hard for her in the first place.
STOLAS NEEDS MORE EXPERIENCES! YES! THANK YOU!
If you're looking for new series to check out, either Owl House or She-Ra and the Princesses of Power would be good ones. I'd also highly recommend Arcane which is one of the best animated shows I've ever seen, and the second season should be dropping later this year.
Watching this episode for the first time when it came out just about broke me. At first, I wasn't sure why it hit me so disproportionately hard, but then I realized how much I have in common with Stolas, not only in how we were hurt in a relationship but also in many of the traits and flaws. If I only liked Stolas before, this episode has cemented his place as my favorite character.
We both have some level of self-esteem and social anxiety issues. We are both terrible at reading others and struggle to process social interactions. We both have a very naive understanding of relationships and are clueless about conducting them. We both arguably didn't communicate with and understand our (former) partners enough. In retrospect, it dawned on me just how little I know about my ex. Even the breakup had some uncanny parallels. It was filled with misaligned expectations and misunderstandings. It happened on a special day (The Fullmoon for Stoliz; my birthday for me). I was hoping it would take the relationship to new heights, but instead, it burned it down. To this day, I still sometimes get the eerie feeling that the entire relationship may not be real at all or have meant anything at all to the other person. At some point, the events stopped feeling fictional anymore and became a warped projection of myself that summer five years ago.
Yes, Stolas was emotionally (and arguably physically) hurt badly by Blitz, but he is not free from fault in the downfall of Stoliz, far from it. To shove all the blame onto Blitz would be highly hypocritical of me. Stolas's behavior in this episode is understandable since it is difficult to self-reflect when the hurt is still so fresh on his mind. I am also guilty of focusing too much on being hurt and lacking the self-awareness necessary to see just how much I also messed up in the relationship for a very long time. But I am confident that Stolas will start to see his faults soon and get his development akin to Blitz's development in the past two episodes. And I would also need to work on some character development of my own if I desire a healthy relationship in the future.
This episode may not be my favorite to rewatch but it is easily the one that had the largest impact on me. I look forward to Stolas's development with a bit of nervousness since I fear it will hit me even harder than these past two episodes. Thanks for your analysis and looking forward to what you have in store for us in the future.
Stolas has been shown drinking alcohol to cope and getting wasted several times in the season (see: the circus-at Stella's party, then after Ozzie's-, the full moon). I genuinely think he's struggling with alcoholism, and this is the first time Blitz sees it
At least this time Blitz didn't abandon Stolas in a motel, stealing his car and using his credit card to buy horse lessons. It's progress.
This episode reminds me of why Blitzo is no longer my favorite character. The last episode, he demanded Stolas give him time to think and to not toy with his feelings, saying he was treating him like a plaything. Here, he's doing all those things to Stolas. Their fight happened just the night before. Instead of giving Stolas time, he immediately went to see him and wouldn't leave when Stolas made it clear he didn't want anything to do with him at the moment. This might be an unpopular opinion , but he was sexually harassing Stolas even after Stolas told Blitzo he wasn't interested in having sex. To make things worse, he gave Stolas a very valid reason to not trust him anymore by admitting he knew there was someone out to kill him and never said anything.
I think Stolas knows he messed up too since he said so in his song, but that scene where them running as kids breaks to show them as adults with Stolas pulling away as Blitzo storms away shows Stolas is no longer looking at Blitzo with rose-colored glasses. As one of my favorite quotes go, the thing about looking at the world with rose-colored glasses is all the red flags just look like flags. Now that he sees Blitzo, he's decided it's best for them to not be together. I think Stolas made the right choice; they need to work of themselves first.
I don’t think your “unpopular” opinion is all that unpopular
I love blitz and even I could see that was a huge YIKES on his part to try and force the sex to happen
@@iknowwhatyouare102 I must point out that Stolas has been sexually harassing Blitz up until Ozzie's. Blitz has asked him to stop many times. Where was this energy against Stolas? If you don't understand the main character, who this show is about by now...
@@sandracarnegie2871 Don’t assume I don’t have that same energy for Stolas. That’s why lately, I’ve been calling him a hypocrite.
Why would Blitz need to give Stolas time to think when Stolas already had more time than Blitz did?
Also I don't think the Striker issue is something that can be used as a reason not to trust Blitz. Why would you tell someone who you believe to be immortal/invincible, which Blitz did until recently, that some psycho/idiot is trying to kill them? Especially if you believe you already handled the situation?
I feel like there should have been one more stop on Blitz's apology tour, but I doubt he'd have it in him to go where it's closest to the root of his emotional problems.
His sister, Barbara.
Actually, I think he was doing the mature thing by giving her space when that was what she wanted, but that’s just me. Barbie deserves her own ep for reconciliation.
@@kyratries While that might be true, I think Blitz has a tendency of ignoring the elephant in the room. When he met with Barbie, he wanted to just talk and catch up, pretending that the issues between them don't exist. He needs to have a real conversation with her if they're going to reconcile and that scares the shit out of him.
He did the same thing with Stolas at the beginning of this episode. After the shit that went down previously, he sent funny pictures and acted like what happened didn't matter.
Blitz hates it when things get real, and that finally caught up to him here. He's finally facing the reality of the true damage he's left in his wake.
Which is why I think he should meet up with Barbie, where it all started. I'm not saying that it's the best idea, but it feels necessary.
@@Aqua311 I think we agree here on Blitz in general. I’m just saying that putting Barb in this episode along with everyone else would be a disservice to her. Blitz was right not to go to her when he admitted later that none of those apologies on his tour were true because he was just thinking of Stolas. She deserves his full attention and his full apology for the ways he has hurt her. That’s all!
Watch Helluva Boss they said... it's a funny show with Demons and Dickjokes they said...
This feels more like an abusive relationship now... regardless of how much this show hurts our feelings... we want more ^^*
Some potential shows you might like based on your reactions to this show:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer -Still holds up well, lots of relationship drama, one of the first shows to have a lesbian character thats a main character and stay in the relationship for multiple seasons.
Invincible -Lots of shocking moments, great animation, interesting world building.
X-men 97 -Crazy relationship drama, a gender fluid character, deals with the absolute worst (yet believable) sides of humanity.
Young Justice -Strong characters that grow over the years, interesting relationships.
Harley Quinn -An interesting twist on DC characters. A good adaptation on the Harleys relationships as well as a different version of the joker.
Farscape - Amazing characters, a little dated at times, but the writing and concepts carry the hell out of the show. Plus great alien races made by jim henson production (same ones that did star wars original aliens.)
Question now is... is the reason Mayberry want all out postal, that her Husband cheated on her... or that her Girlfriend cheated on her, with her Husband ;P
Wonderful reaction to an amazing episode! I’ve really loved seeing your analysis and understanding of these characters! I’m almost bummed you’re caught up because now we have to wait til the next episode comes out for more!
(Also, I just need to say that I loved the way you paused and looked at the camera when Stolas is like “When have I ever looked down on you?” Oh Stolas, honey, do you want a list? 🤣💜 I am really looking forward to the show finally giving Stolas his moment of realization about his part in all of this)
My daughter and I believe Blitzø really needed this. Now we need a Stolas viewing Blitz.
On the Stolas hiding behind the menu point, remember that was /right/ after Ozzy brought up his daughter, "My dark lord how the mighty do fall, You used to have a smoking wife, a kid, you had it all, I hope you didn't give it up so you and him could get it up"
I think that his hiding was more out of shame of himself and how his actions affected Octavia, which the song called him out on in front of everyone. He didn't seem at all ashamed to be seen with Blitz in public before or after that. He shamelessly flirted with him at Loo Loo Land and the Harvest Moon Festival, and he told Asmodeus without hesitation that he has feelings for him.
If you're interested in reacting to a musical, Team Starkid has all of theirs on youtube for free. "The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals" is a great horror comedy (you could go by chapter). If you like disney and pixar, then "Twisted: The Story of a Royal Vazier" is both hilarious and heartfelt.
This Episode not only made me like Verosika... I am also now on team Blitzika ^^
I love your content! I just watched this and felt like watching apology for for the first time all over again (okay maybe with less crying) 😭❤️👌
27:19 Excuse me? Stolas doesn't drink a lot? The owl man is CONSTANTLY drinking! There's always at least one glass of wine around him. And haven't you seen him chuck down an entire bottle of absinthe during Stella's 'not divorced yet' party? Stolas has a drinking problem... 😅 (Which gets even more problematic since he's also taking way too many of his 'happy pills'. Alcohol and antidepressants aren't exactly the best combination...)
16:40 "thanks, that's my face..." is meta, because the old man is a character brandon physically plays on his youtube channel. So, literally his face.
I wonder what was Blitz's arguement whenever he dated a fellow imp. Cannot say they are above him and look down on him in that case ...
Some people theorize the guy who asked Stolas to dance may be a spy or a better assassin then Striker cause he had a tattoo that looked a little like a goesia (spelling?) crescent of sorts on his arm. While I think that's possible I kinda want him to just be a normal guy who's just more upfront about what specifically he feels and thinks without being hostile or shouting.
Stolas doesn't work well with aggression and while he may be working on it now that's Blitz's go to defense when feeling vulnerable.
By this I mean either a week into the relationship after a few times of his "compliments" or maybe from the first one he gets questioned why he thinks Imps want to be addressed in those ways or do Goesia also talk to one another like that cause its rude for him. He was asking throughout his song for someone to tell him what he may of done wrong and could of seen differently but he likely isn't going to get that answer with Blitz.
Hearing it from a different Imp may help him with this perspective from their eyes instead of his own.
They ALL need therapy!!
Stolas should start/get involved in a book club. I’d join that book club.
Yeah, jokes on you, you gotta wait til October with us xD
"How is the healthiest relationship in this episode a DEAD CANNIBAL and the teacher who ordered the HIT on her LIFE?"
We haven't seen enough of them to know if they are healthy, but the fact the teacher can take her shower at Martha's place? Yeah, they're definitely at a better place in whatever they got going on between them that Blitz and Stolas currently, so not thank you for this realization Kyra xD
Thank you, finally someone reacting like me to Bryce's perfect delivery of Stolas' line "my lack of ha ha" x)
I doubt it's so much Blitz not accepting being gifted something than him wanting an excuse to see Stolas again, since he changes from "earning my way to Earth" to "angry fuck" later in the conversation x)
Stolas is still oblivious to his classicm yes x) Tho the "impish little plaything" isn't the best example because he DEFINITELY said that just to scare the humans, when he turned to Blitz he directly went all "darling" on him x)
It's painful to see Blitz self-sabotaging during that first discussion with Stolas isn't it? x) Yes they both messed up but gosh, Stolas WAS willing to hear him out at the time T_T
Wow, never seen anyone react so well to seeing Martha and Ms Mayberry together xD
Stolas would never kill Blitz, but yep, it's not the time to have this chat. Stolas is drunk, and he still hadn't digested what happened, be it last night (Full Moon) or in the morning.
Oh don't worry Kyra, Stolas drinks plenty enough (probably too much, what he threw up at the start of Full Moon look suspiciously like absinthe, and since he was so anxious, I wouldn't be surprised he drank himself to sleep).
THANK YOU for noticing the lyrics "don't touch that pretty thing" when Blitz was about to comfort Stolas.
YES THANK YOU! They both messed up, and they still both need to apologize to each other.
In Blitzø's defense regarding not telling Stolas about Striker (at least initially)... Stolas had already set up the idea that assassins out to get him were no big deal. Look at LooLoo Land! That was all a big game to Stolas, where a bunch of assassins were out to get him but he wasn't in any real danger and Blitzø was just there to be eye candy taking care of nuisances. And Blitzø KNEW this. It set up a bit of "boy who cried wolf" in regards to Striker (with Striker being the wolf). As far as Blitzø knew, he was just taking care of another nuisance for Stolas. And Blitzø STILL doesn't know that Striker was hired by Stella.
@@FlybyStardancer on the other hand, those assassins had normal guns, and at least Moxie _immediately_ recognized Striker's gun as a Carmine Blessing-tipped Rifle, able to kill demon royalty.
So, yes, he didn't take the assassins that were incapable of harming him seriously, but that's not remotely the same situation as Striker. I can't imagine Blitzø didn't recognize the rogue since Moxie did so easily.
yes random imp thugs with knives and random weapons are definitely the same as a marksman with heaven blessed guns.....
27:24 I mean we’ve seen him with absinthe at least twice so far. He definitely does get drunk
I mean... there is always "Welcome to the Owlhouse" for reactions ^^
I just rewatched s1e01 and Blitz straight-up says he *has* a therapist.
awsome reaction as always kyra! cant wait for October! for the spooky episode 👻
I think Stolas should apologise for the sex arrangement (he should've done so in full moon imo), as well, and we're yet to see him apologise to Octavia.
Also where is she? He should be spending time with her, especially after the divorce.
Good eye, btw, noticing that both Blitz and Stolas are destructive in their relationships one way or another, only that with Blitz it is way more obvious and visible given that Stolas never had the social circle and close relationships to mess up in the first place.
As for show recommendations, pleeease watch Arcane. Everything about it is a masterpiece. I had to watch it multiple times, because I kept getting distracted by how gorgeous the animation is. Plus, next season is coming out this november, so not that long of a wait (compared to those waiting since 2021 lmao)
Other than that, the Owl House is popularly beloved and usually very requested. I'd say a good start!
One commentor offered up a perfect rebuttal to Stolas' "I don't look down on you" comment in another video.
In earlier episodes, Stolas is head many times talking to Blitz in a manner that comes across as more insulting than flirty; always calling him a "little imp" and whatnot. So, Stolas is just as guilty of being a bad person as Blitz...just not in an extreme way
31:20 It seems to me that if Blitz had hypothetically been in Stella’s place, and Stella in Blitz’s place, then nothing would have changed(by the way, about this, Blitz, you really need to apologize to Moxxie for treating him rudely). It's not Stolas' fault, life was brutal to him, but a fact is a fact. He imagined Blitz as his ideal love, although Stolas knew almost nothing about him and met him a whole 15 years later
If you ever get around to it, you should watch The Owl House. It has everything from great LGBTQ+ rep to evil villains. I think you'd enjoy it.
Well, actually, it isn't true that Stolas doesn't drink a lot, in fact he drinks A LOT in many occasion, he has clearly a drinking problem
That DEAD CANNIBAL is a HERO
If you're into older scifi shows, I highly recommend Babylon 5, Farscape and Battlestar Galactica (2004).
Yes!! I’m so ready for ur reaction to this masterpiece hehe. And as usual u always paused at the funniest moments 😂😂😂
i know im a random person on the internet but just going to say YOU DO DISERVE LOVE nuff Said
I don't know for certain but I think Verosika's behavior during the party is an act. She is a performer after all.
At least I can see the conversation Verosika being able to act like the party Verosika more than I can vise versa.
blitz talking sex and making him uncomfortable is just what stolas did to him the whole time in season 1 and blitz didnt like it either.
If you haven't seen "Nimona" yet, would love to see you react to that one
Also Verosika has a heart tattoo with someones name with an X over it
Blitz's name, duh!
Damn, I dont know how I can do this. The last few minutes make me always a wreck
I just got Moxxie (Richard's) autograph at Denver Fan Expo earlier today! Unfortunately the Keith David and Brandon Rogers lines had stopped letting people join by the time I arrived.
11:15 Wild bun bun appears. :D
Wonderful reaction and glad to see you doing well it seems.A lack of communication from each party causes this very precarious castle of cards to crumble, and everything could not be worse, for Blitzo at least, but this is the first positive step, he finally explained what he feels, we had been waiting season the end of season 1 episode 7. Though it is worth mentioning that all the way back in episode 8 of season one, given that Blitzo views himself undeserving here, it is interesting that back in the episode I mentioned he feard dying alone, and named each of the I.M.P. members and stolas, so hsi wants it but continues, even when explaining his problems with/to Stolas. everything has gone from bad to worse, but calling out the trailer, we did see Blitzo defend stolas, and going off the background there, i think we have our final conflict for this season, Apologis for rambling, I may have gone on too long. Please let me know.
We are all worried about verosika tbh
Verosika realizes at the end that no one belongs at an I hate blitzø party more than him
I was sooooo exated for you to get in apologe tour🎉🎉🎉
For me, it wouldn't be a bad thing if the relationship between Blitzø and Stolas ended because it was toxic. It is toxic for both and if this relationship does not change its nature, it would be better for it to end and for both of them to be able to move on having learned from their mistakes so as not to destroy their next romantic relationship with someone.
Ps : Sorry for the double comment but the subjects being so different, it seemed odd to group them in the same one.
vivziepop confirmed it endgame awhile ago, so expect stolitz to happen
saying "stolas doesnt drink alot" when hes literally an alcoholic lol (no hate js thought it was funny btw)
dont feel bad stolas wasnt told about striker. his dumbass was at the same table when stella was going on about it with striker. thats on stolas edit HE DID HAVE WARNING FROM HIS OWN WIFE!!!!!!
Try reacting to Yellowjackets, it's incredible, it's so addictive. Take a look at the Trailer and seebif you like it.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer series is cool too.
Would you consider watching the One Piece live action?
18:35 Stolas and Darth Sidious good reference 😌👌
If there was no need for the book to do his job I think blitzø would have dipped by now but had to stay
But I think he *wanted* to stay, since he got confused and frustrated by Stolas giving him an out. He just doesn't want to ever feel like he's choosing these relationships for any reason besides sex or money.
1:21 ironic...
I know the Fandom can be a bit intense, but if you are looking for suggestions, I think you might find RWBY entertaining
C:
Stolas doesn't want Blitz. He just wants SOMEONE who loves him.
Reminds me of a friend of mine, who tried his luck with every girl, because he didn't care about them specifically, he just wanted someone.
