He also comes off as rather tryhard and putting on a front whenever he actively tries to be intimidating, as if desperately attempting to convince people he's really as badass as he sells himself.
Just look at how he feels the need to go all uber-demonic over something as small as threatening Hux or taking out some shark gangsters.

Look at Sir Pentious. In the pilot, Alastor's delivery of asking if he knows him makes it ambiguous if he was trolling or genuinely didn't know, and retaliated because Sir P had his cannon charging, ready to harm everyone, and once Alastor landed the final blow, he immediately offers to cook jambalaya, showing that he saw Sir P as a problem that was done and over it. In the series, they hammer in that Alastor doesn't know him, making it abundantly clear he's saying that to fuck with him, we don't see what lead to Alastor attacking him, he laughs maniacally beating him up, and continues to mock him after he's finished.
I prefer the Alastor who actually could flex and where Charlie was actually afraid of him even though in "reality" she's almost certainly more powerful than he is.
I've heard Alastor is actually one of the weaker Overlords, and Charlie can kick his ass "behind a Wal-Mart". Aside from his introduction, Charlie was mostly level headed around Alastor. It was mainly Vaggie who was all up on Alastor being dangerous. One of my favorite comedic moments with Angel Dust was how nonchalant he was to Alastor, only asking about him because there was shit else to talk about, not effected by his backstory, versus the series where he asked Mimzy out of intrigue, and was taken back after hearing the backstory.
God i forgot how shit the hollywood/broadway people voices were in comparison to the newgrounds guys lmao. he doesn't even sound like an energetic old time radio announcer anymore.
The only reason Amir was chosen was because he played Bert Healy, Alastor's inspiration, on Broadway, which came out
after Ed was casted. I couldn't find any recent Annie plays predating Amir's show which featured Bert Healy, which begs the question on who Viv would've gotten if Hazbin was picked up before 2018. Viv said that she's particularly on how Angel Dust and Alastor sounded, which may play a part on why Ed and Michael are beloved among other reasons, due to their in-character dynamic. They understood Angel and Alastor's characters weren't "sex" and "scary powers", but I guess that doesn't matter now because Broadway actors.
" but also need to make sure he has moments of pleasantness to make it understandable for Charlie to genuinely value his presence. I'm glad they didn't go with the vigilante route with him, but they went the opposite direction to where he's... a dickwad.
