I think it comes down to the fact that Hazbin's genre is not predominantly comedy even with heavy comedic elements so there's a bit more sincerity even in the cringe moments
Viv has said in the past that S3 is her favorite part of the story and that something that happens was so compelling it got the entire series green lit by A24/Amazon, so I'm cautiously optimistic that it is actually decent and that S2 truly was meant to be a filler season.
Not confirmed. Viv said she plans for 5 seasons but so far only 1-4 are actually contracted to be produced so far.
Did we get told this in the actual show? He killed Henroin?
Yeah we did in episode 3. Vox confirmed it and forced it out of Angel Dust because Charlie wouldn't stop pushing Angel to talk about why he thinks he's in hell.
The writing was definitely improved by not centering itself on Charlie this season. The Vees carried the show by poking actual holes in her character and just being fun to watch. Personally, I was a big fan of Lute being a schizo and the other (not Angel) characters at the hotel actually got a lot to do.
This isn't even a strictly Hazbin problem with Viv, it's extremely prevalent in Helluva as well, to use one example there's a scene where Satan says he was the ruler of Hell "before the angel fell", and Viv posted that Satan was lying because nobody calls him out on the lie and he's not even established as being an untrustworthy source, so obviously everyone thought this was a big reveal about Hell. Goes to show Hazbin's poor worldbuilding isn't the result of runtime.
Well apparently you can be homosexual and asexual. Not saying that this is confirmation of what Alastor. It's just a possibilty. Viv's done it; saying she's bisexual and asexual.
She's got a few but it doesn't erase the fact that if Charlie didn't exist there'd barely be anything to her character.
Considering how much Viv hates Charlastor and can't stop liking posts on Bluesky that shit on it and its fans, it definitely won't. She's extremely firm in her stance that Alastor has no interest in relationships.
The fact that they had to sneak in that the Exterminations only began seven years ago (using Katie of all characters) because they flat-out forgot to mention it in the first season is testament to that.
In hindsight it does make more sense than how everyone thought beforehand the exterminations were a thing that have been going on for centuries if not longer, what with how no sinner managed to figure out angelic weaponry can kill an Exorcist (even if it's still stupid that they wouldn't know that), or how just about everyone in Heaven didn't know the exterminations were a thing. When there's a crucial piece of worldbuilding that can easily be explained in an offhand remark, those should definitely all be laid out on the table by the end of the first season, at least in cases like this where every character outside of Heaven in-universe knows the exterminations started 7 years ago right from the start of the series, just throw it into that storybook intro because opening scenes get a pass when it comes to blatant exposition.
I call bullshit on Viv having any sexual interest in women. She clearly only fantasies about twink dudes getting it on. Why specifically twink dudes you ask?
It's in the show. End of season 1, when Alastor brings Charlie to recruit the cannibals for the big fight, Rosie makes a joke about her being his new fling and then immediately laughs it off saying "I know you're an ace-in-the hole" to clarify that she was kidding. Alastor responds with a confused "huh?" or something, but it's unclear whether he doesn't understand the term, doesn't agree, has never even thought about it, is surprised she noticed, or what.
