Gotta give credit, I never thought they would actually have IMP kill someone who didn't deserve it (I thought the ending twist would be he's actually some sick pedophile).
Ehhhhh. I didn't think it was funny. Maybe its just me but it would be funnier if Blitzo acted like a child, maybe not refrence other better shows than yours (KotH, Mr. Rodgers, others.) Kind of cheapens the series a bit like you can't creatively make your own thing so you have to steal or refrence others that surpass you by miles.

Lore wise this also doesn't make too much sense as they don't even talk about or show the client for us to understand why he has a hit on him (so how can we root for the characters if the guy is pretty much perfect in every way so no grey morality.) Luke why did the guy need to get wacked other then being petty for.... what exactly?

Being showed up in highschool? What did they mean by that could be anything from that description. Took my pencil, didn't go to prom with me, what do they mean by that?

They should try to change their characters they play on earth for missions to make their selves more interesting, and to show that they are experienced in their profession to "blend in". So he should act more like a child, shouldn't the client be like. "Huh, thats weird that a child is taking about Satans asshole? Why does he sound like a grown man?" Maybe say something like hes a child who got reconstruction surgery from severe burns. (Causing his voice to be harsh and his skin to look like that/that he looks weird.) But, whatever.

I think this was ok, but thats it. Just okay, leaning to lack luster for me.

It was ok, its biggest crime is that it plays out exactly as you would expect.

Given Cusack voices Mammon and Viv got Lyle, how long till Viv gets Zach Hadel on the show
She has actually described Angel's brother to sound very similar to Zach and I remember her announcing a few weeks ago that she found his voice actor, time will tell. But now, who should Cory voice?

All it needed was blitz to mention, "the client says he's the only one who never got adopted either with his help or by him directly. '" come on vivzie didn't you and your theater clique ask "what's my motivation?" All the time in high school drama club? Give us a motivation.
 
Yeah hopefully he gets something more substantial though than just a background role.
I hope not, I think Oneyplays group shouldn't touch this dog shit with a 80 foot pole. They bring stuff to make the show good, then Viv would just take it like the attention hog she is.
 
The joke doesn't really work when you keep making the targets utterly harmless. First you got Emberlynn whose crime was writing bad fanfiction and now this dude whose entire shtick is that he's genuinely a nice guy. It just makes you want to see IMP lose really.

It managed to make the fanboys in the Reddit thread cry, so I'll consider it a win.

I mean the joke works if Helluva Boss stuck to being a dark mean spirited comedy instead of becoming a drama show where we are meant to see these people as good samaritans.
 
Blame fanon. Alastor is pretty much written in response to how people hype him up as this S-tier badass that can one shot anyone, so now his character revolves on how he realizes that he's not the fearmonger he or fans think he is.
I'd say the problem is that the Overlords weren't established during the pilot, and the only other antagonist was Sir Pentious, making Alastor look stronger by comparison.

It's evil, Charlie!

C'mon, don't tell me you wouldn't love the idea of hearing Zach Hadel's beautiful goblin voice singing about overcoming his daddy issues with the help of his gay lover.

I don't see a problem with them killing innocent people (in the context of the short) but it goes to demonstrate how the dramatic half and comedic half of this show clashes with each one and even the fans can see it. Doesn't help that both halves aren't good at what their set to do.

tfw melodrama bullshit eats not one but TWO shows to the point the one that still has some newgrounds guys involved somehow does a little goofy murder funny and EVERYONE LOSES THEIR GOD DAMN MINDS!
 
It's funny how they have more chemistry with each other when they were written to be friends in the pilot instead of girlfriends in the actual show.

>two female characters have fun dynamic and chemistry
>people want them together
>creator makes them lesbians
>everyone claps
>Creator can't write conflict anymore to not upset shippers so the dynamic is twisted into "i support you babe uwu"
>it becomes boring and they have no chemistry anymore

Every time.

Gotta give credit, I never thought they would actually have IMP kill someone who didn't deserve it (I thought the ending twist would be he's actually some sick pedophile).

I was going to say this but now i wonder if that wasn't half the point of the short. You'd think post S2 finale blitzo would relate to the adoptive father but instead they make it clear he has no hesitation here, they kill someone fully innocent. It's like they made it so people (me specifically) would shut about "Blitzo only kills bad people now".

But even then they still can't commit fully to the edgyness of the pilot. Loona has to shoot the guy by accident twice and seems visibly shaken by it, while blitzo does it to help. Either way it wasn't written by vivzie, i don't think she would write post S2 blitzo like this.

it's either that or they become horribly abusive but it's supposed to be wholesome even though one of thems like being beat to death in a magic timeloop or being put in the eternal torment device some other bullshit that they bring into the plot to cement how "inseparable" they are.

It’s like that on Twitter as well. Do these people not know how assassins work? Specifically demon assassins? I think they head cannoned that imp is actually some crusaders for justice targeting the wicked, and not complete monsters that murder people for money, giving 50% off the price if a parking spot on the line. It’s like the Spring Break Episode and Seeing Stars never happened where innocent people were killed. But what, Mr. Rogers 2.0 is just too good? And they say we lack media literacy.

That was...actually decent.

Like even the twist was genuinely funny
The joke is that they killed Mr Rogers. And because the dude's already dead he can't say anything about being "defamed".

The short wasn't fun, to me. It's one long joke setup with an even shittier payoff. "DONT WORRY DADDY WILL FIX THIS" and the payoff isn't even that great, for a punchline. We all knew Wriggler would get got. So why am I not laughing?
