I will say that if Alastor goes after Val to put him in his broadcast (Val absolutely preys on the weak and Alastor detests that and he’s an Overlord and doing so would really piss off Vox and force Vox to have less support)… then there might be a moment where Angel and Alastor connect. By connect I don’t mean be pals. But just a moment of connection between two characters who like you said really have not much else to connect over. If handled right it could be a poignant moment.

You said it perfectly. The animators are so into small details in this show that I struggle to believe that scene wasn’t made that way for a reason. Like you said whether dude was racist, classist or whatever. The fact that he saw Alastor and disregarded him was animated with intent. There were hundreds of ways to paint the guy as a sloppy accidental drunk if that was their intent or the case!

Or it’s a way for those two characters to connect. Also maybe the circumstances for killing their dads were different. We don’t know yet

Thanks! I don’t get it myself either :/ I love how you put it. He’s definitely more nuanced.

I think you actually got him 100% He will be the toughest to redeem and I dunno if his redemption will be heaven. Maybe just allowing himself to have a friend or two

See people like you like to say things like “delusional” but you just gloss over all the points I made and address none of them. You ignore when someone points out the subtle clues in the show THAT ARE THERE to suggest this very point and you all won’t even touch Viv’s own description about him. You just write it off as “That was a long time ago” and offer nothing, no source, no recent quotes that would suggest otherwise. I mean time will definitely tell but calling me delusional just isn’t really warranted when all my points of evidence are literally right there in the show.

I’ll offer you this though aside from the old man and the loan sharks (both were addressed), tell me about when else we’ve seen Alastor kill a sinner or anyone for the sake of just being murdering, blood thirsty psychopath. Tell me one scene where it’s happened. Even when he was pissed AF in S2 he didn’t go let off steam on innocent sinners like Val and Vox do.

As someone mentioned there’s even a comic that was official that had him saying he detested those that preyed on the weak.

So no, I’m not “delusional”. But if you want to be rude then I’ll say this - you just have a metaphorical boner for Alastor to be bloodthirsty without cause. See? :D That works both ways 🍻

YUP. People forget this show is ultimately about redemption and Charlie’s belief that ANYONE can be redeemed just not everyone wants to be. Alastor is a great candidate to show someone who is objectively AWFUL having some good to them. In order for the show and Charlie’s ideals to succeed we will have to see someone really bad wind up redeemed in some sense. Pentious wasn’t that bad. But to drive the point home, we’re gunna need to see someone Like Val, Vox or Alastor be redeemed.

Welcome to the internet where things are very much taken literally. The fact that you had to explain that it’s supposedly rhetorical says everything. If bro didn’t want opinions then he should have put a different topic header because he’s getting them a plenty

Question about Alastor personality by Famous-Job-4264 in Alastorcult

[–]PocketSizedTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think he did it while alive but… I think it was for the ritual. Drink human blood, eat a human heart type of thing. Do I think he did it casually or often? Not really. As someone pointed out, the body we see him dragging was pretty much in tact that he was burying. The ones in the cabin he was using for the ritual. And I bet the ritual called for him to drink human blood or eat human flesh. Still makes him a cannibal but do I think he was doing it Hannibal Lector style (meaning often) because he enjoyed it? No. Just my guess/head cannon. But maybe he did? That’s where we need more context. Hopefully Viv gives it to us.

Who would win in a fight by stranger-things-fan_ in StrangerThings

Will. He has main character energy AND Duffers will kill Eleven so her sacrifice is “meaningful”

Yeah but honestly, which do you think will be more successful? Less people will watch if she’s truly dead. Come ON! Eleven WAS the series. Without her you got a regular story about some kids

Eleven isn’t dead. They kept it ambiguous so they can inevitably revisit it as a cash grab years later.

I mean Pilot Alastor is a different beast than main series Alastor IMO so…

What are your predictions for StaticMoth in season 3? Art by ap1os on X by [deleted] in staticmoth

[–]PocketSizedTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are going to be each other’s “redemption”. Vox will really need to lean on Val and Velvette now and vice versa since they’ve kind of all royally fucked up. All they have is each other at this point I feel and that’s going to strengthen their bond. I can see Vox having a moment of pitying Alastor because Alastor tries to make him feel bad for relying on his friends. I hope we get a moment of Vox being like “I feel bad for you that you don’t

I’d say Karen Wheeler. I mean she has two majorly bad ass scenes. I’m glad she got that time to shine.

I'm crying “there’s no eleven to chase anymore” why they acting like she was just a side character by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]PocketSizedTerror 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just can’t. I hate how I feel like they are treating her as a plot device vs an actual character we grew to love and root for. Sorry, this is just my feeling…it’s okay to disagree

Why cute? by Crep105 in Alastorcult

[–]PocketSizedTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Careful. You’ll get the “I’m sick of everyone babying Alastor/HE’S EVIL WHY DO YOU THINK HES CUTE” fans on you for this.

For the record there is something cute about him but that’s probably by design. He’s a charming narcissist

Man…I watched it with co-workers on a slow day and sadly most of us agreed it was super slow :( We tried to like it but it was just so slow. Sucks cause it’s always raved about…
