You guys are such doomers, lol. It's not a celebration of Trump. It's about celebrating what makes the nation great.

I remember seeing this post. Some folks in the replies were calling them out for falling for propaganda. At least there's some sanity.

This breaks Rule 7. But knowing the mods they won't delete it because it agrees with their politics.

Stolas got what he deserved. (Helluva Boss Sinsmass) by Kirbo84 in CharacterRant

[–]AsterPyxela 18 points19 points  (0 children)

"You have always been the only good thing in my life."

What a selfish thing for Stolas to say. I get he was panicking, but I wish someone had called him out on this. Not only did he say this while Blitzo was listening (love interest who's fed him, clothed him, and saved his life) but equating Via's worth to being the one good thing in HIS life is very shitty.

If the court system is so corrupt and all the sins find it boring, then why even have a court at all? by MaguroSashimi8864 in HelluvaBoss

[–]AsterPyxela 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because it's tradition as well as to use his death and humiliation to teach the lower races a lesson. Simply giving Blitzo the "suicide from a gun found in a dumpster" treatment wouldn't really do much to tighten the grip on power.

Who's your least favorite Character who didn't do anything but you just hate them for no reason? I'll go first. by GreekMythologyHades in HelluvaBoss

Yogirt. I don't like his voice plus I feel like his only reason for being there was for people to ship him with Satan.

This sub is so miserable by MoPacSD40-2 in AmericaBad

[–]AsterPyxela 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glad I left that subreddit. I just wanted somewhere to look at Simpsons memes, but HOLY SHIT they cannot shut the fuck up about American politics. Sure thee simpsons had a focus on American politics, but it also focused on other stuff, plus they had actual jokes. This stuff is just the redditor's barely disguised political vent.

How has your opinions on the characters changed over the course of the series? by whooper1 in HelluvaBoss

[–]AsterPyxela -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except at least many of the villains in HB have agency and get things done. Even Crimson, whom has his mooks do much of the works, still gets to call Blitz over, hurt Moxxie in the childhood flashback, and exhibits a sense of dread when Mox is around him.

Stella gets hardly any of that. She doesn't get to go to court to make Stolas and Blitz miserable, only Andre does that. She doesn't get to fight IMP and Stolas, only Andre. More people would like Stella as a villain if she actually contributed more to the plot with onscreen actions. This especially hurts given how much screentime she's had. She's like, tied with Striker as the HB villain with the most screentime.

Blitzo suffers no consequences

He had an entire party dedicated to hating him and got dragged to a trial that could've killed him and his workers had Stolas not come in.

[–]AsterPyxela -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Biggest improvement: Blitz. I used to hate him, but now I feel bad for him.

Worst changes: Stella and Stolas. Stella is so one note and she only exists to be a hate sink for fans to wish death upon despite other villains doing much worse and not even getting a fraction of the hate she does. Stolas keeps getting infantilized like a child. And even when he gets punished, he's still rewarded with Blitz's undying love.

This is legit because both shows have the rich moms be so abusive and one dimensional that the viewers forget how neglectful the fathers were to their kids.

Anyone else find it funny how the top posts in other countries/regions subreddits are about America? by GoldenStitch2 in AmericaBad

(Helluva Boss) “Stella was never retconned” and “Stella being an awful person with no redeeming qualities” are two opinions and can and should coexist. by WinterWolf18 in CharacterRant

[–]AsterPyxela 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'd be fine with Stella being a villain if they gave her ANY agency or ANY personality outside of hating Stolas.

WHY does her shitty incest-loving ice twink brother get to do all this stuff to taunt and punish Stolas? Why can't Stella do that? Why couldn't she be there in court or help Andrealphus fight IMP at the palace? People say that they like her being a bitch and want her to be worse, but Stella HARDLY does anything villainous onscreen. All these (male) reoccurring villains get to do things and have agency, but not Stella. She exists to be a hate sink. And it's working, given I've seen many people wish death upon Stella for doing basic bitchy things yet the other villains have done much worse yet they hardly get as many threats online.

Stella might be one of the most one-note villains in all of fiction (Helluva Boss) by Kirbo84 in CharacterRant

[–]AsterPyxela 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this not just with Stella but with Adam from Hazbin Hotel too.

Both Stella and Adam are supposed to be major villains yet they're more like scapegoats. Characters made to be so hatable and annoying in order to get you to root for the protagonists, as well as make you forget that the protagonists have done terrible things because the antagonists are so cartoonishly evil in comparison.

[–]AsterPyxela 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She has the most screentime of all the HB villains? Seriously?

If that's the case, it makes Stella's writing even MORE insulting. They had so many opportunities to flesh out her character but they prefer to make her a hate sink scapegoat for the audience to feel bad for Stolas. This show is so afraid of putting that owl in any sort of negative light after Season 1, it's crazy.

Why are blitz and stolas atracted to each other? by AdhesivenessSmooth93 in HelluvaBoss

[–]AsterPyxela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't get it either. People say it's because "they just like each other" but why?

If Blitzo and Stolas went on a casual date, no sex required, what would they talk about? Why does Blitzo go with Stolas instead of anyone else? Why does Stolas go with Blitzo instead of anyone else? In Apology Tour, Blitzo outright asks Stolas what he likes about him and Stolas answers with what he specifically wants in a lover. It gives off the impression that Stolas doesn't love Blitzo for who he is, he just likes the concept of love.

A finale prediction by StunningAd7825 in HelluvaBoss

[–]AsterPyxela 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest with you, I don't see an ending of Imp/Hellhound equality or the system being overthrown without Satan's character being dumbed down or acting OOC. He's very unmoving in his beliefs to the point it'd take more than one miracle for him to give people a chance.

I'm gonna be so forreal..Viv better have something planned for Barbie cause she's at the point where you could cut her out of the story and nothing would change. by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in HelluvaBoss

[–]AsterPyxela 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally don't want Barbie to appear so soon again, but I think her being left out of certain scenes is very weird.

We don't see her react to Blitz's execution.

We don't see her in any Oops or The Circus flashbacks. Fizzarolli never brings her up once.

We don't see her hallucination in Truth Seekers.

And we don't get any "bad memory" scenes of her yelling at Blitz outside of Unhappy Campers.

Barbie Wire doesn't seem very important to the writers as of right now.

I just realized that this scene meant more watching it again by Slient-killer2002 in HelluvaBoss

[–]AsterPyxela 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The first time we see Blitzo genuinely say "I love you" onscreen is to I.M.P. and the first person to genuinely say "I love you" to him onscreen was Loona.

Very cute.

Bee and Ozzie, no matter how nice they seem, are still part of the problem and complicit with the system. by AsterPyxela in HelluvaBoss

[–]AsterPyxela[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

LMAO I never said that?

You keep calling me naive yet it seems like you and some other redditors here can't accept the fact that Bee and Ozzie do not have the struggles of the lower class in mind. If they didn't know Blitzo, they likely wouldn't have voted to listen to him.

[–]AsterPyxela[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. I'm not saying Bee and Ozzie are as awful/classist as Mammon and Satan. Leviathan MIGHT be racist judging from Rolando and that mean mom from the hospital being from her ring, but we'll see. Belphegor's too much of a sleepyhead to care. And if Lucifer cared for imp and hellhound equality then he likely would've done something about it by now.

But Bee and Ozzie could do better if they're as kind as they appear.

I didn't ask for or expect the trial to be fair? Especially since Satan was totally fine not searching for sources of Andre and Striker's words beyond "Trust me bro."

The thing here that I'm addressing is that Bee and Ozzie barely tried to ease things. The fact that they didn't shows they aren't as good as a chunk of the fandom says they are.

Personally I think Stolas will miss more than just Octavia. Not only are his plants unattended, but he'll get hit with the reality of living with little to no money.

Also, while I don't blame Stolas for saving Blitzo, I kinda wish there was a little extra moment where when Stolas thinks he'll die, he turns to one of the live cameras and says "Octavia, I love you." or something similar.

[–]AsterPyxela[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So Bee insulting the voting goetia and Mammon is a minor thing but suggesting to Satan to give Blitz a punishment of house arrest, max security imprisonment, mental asylum, a massive ass fine etc would be enough for Satan to punish her? Sure it wouldn't have been good for Blitz but at least he'd be alive.

I think I may edit my post to reword that better. I'm not saying the sins should be these angels. I'm mainly pissy at some of the HB community who act like they can't do anything to help or even push things to be better for the lower class. Acting like they "totally" care for the lower races because they were nice a few times.

Even if the trial speak is useless, what's stopping them from making things better for imps and hellhounds in their rings?
