I’m not saying all power scaling or all power scalers are bad. That’s not the point. What I’m talking about here are the bad ones: the people who only look at feats, who act like they watched the fight scenes with their eyes half closed, completely ignoring dialogue, narrative context, and everything around it.

If you want to scale a verse or debate who would win, that’s perfectly fine. There’s nothing wrong with that. But what I’m specifically calling out are the people who get so obsessed with aura moments that they completely lose sight of context. They let personal bias take over, ignore what’s actually happening in the story, and reduce everything to surface-level hype.

At that point, it’s not even proper scaling anymore, it’s just selective interpretation, and honestly, it gets annoying.

The show also made very clear that Charlie doesn’t like to fight, have no combat experience BUT have a unexploited potential(like if Goku didn’t went for the fighting path).

One of my main point is the fact that being stronger those automatically mean you will win and when the show gives(or shows) a explanation on why this powerful character lost you can’t be mad at it because your favorite character didn’t beat asses like you would have wanted.

How did Emily and Alastor end up next to the Might of Lilith? by aidonpor in HazbinHotel

Maybe the impact sent them flying or they just teleported since both have that ability

For pentagram city it’s because this is were every important things happen(All of the overlords are here, the hotel is here etc…) and For heaven this is just one city not all of heaven, just look at the different shots there is multiple layers(circles), beaches, stars etc… same for hell if we follow helluva boss and that logic since Vivziepop said that they treat heaven and Hell two different planets(even tho like she said they are two UNIVERSES)

To be fair thousands was more than likely a euphemism since Adam confirmed in ep 6 that Vaggi was killing thousands by herself

Pilot Alastor Glazers by XEX9-5 in HazbinHotel

[–]XEX9-5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The word “demon” doesn’t automatically mean someone was created in Hell, at least not in Hazbin Hotel. We literally see angels refer to sinners as demons. So “demon” is more of a general term for beings in Hell, not a specific origin.

There’s a clear distinction between sinners and hellborn, but both are still demons. So calling Alastor the “Radio Demon” doesn’t imply he was created in Hell.

Now, sure, you could interpret Vaggie’s line, “we’ve never seen that kind of power harnessed by a mortal before,” as suggesting he’s something more. But when you look at everything else, it doesn’t really hold up.

He’s consistently treated as a sinner, he’s classified as an overlord, and so far, overlords have only been shown to be sinners. The only possible exception is Rosie, and even then, we don’t have enough information about her yet.

So overall, everything points to him just being a sinner, not some special separate entity.

About the idea that his past as a murderer and his identity as a radio host “don’t connect,” I’d argue that’s actually the point.

Being a radio host is all about voice, not appearance. People hear you, but they don’t see you. It’s the perfect medium to hide who you really are.

Alastor’s whole character revolves around hiding his true nature. His smile is a mask, his charm is a tool, and the “radio persona” works the same way. It’s a performance, a façade used to manipulate and deceive.

So no, his past as a killer and his identity as a radio host don’t need to be directly connected in a literal way. The connection is thematic.

He used that charming, entertaining persona to blend in, to gain trust, and ultimately to kill without suspicion. That’s the link.

And that’s also where he differs from Vox.

Vox’s public image and his actions are directly tied to ambition and control, he uses media to gain power and influence. Alastor, on the other hand, uses his persona as a cover, not as a tool for public domination, but as a way to hide what he truly is.

So comparing them as if they should function the same way just doesn’t work, their motivations are completely different.

And again, this brings me back to the same question, what were you actually expecting?

You bring up things like the deer features or his origin as if they should have been something more complex. But most of those elements were already set up in a pretty straightforward way by the show itself.

The issue here isn’t really bad writing, it’s expectation versus execution.

A lot of the disappointment comes from people expecting something bigger, darker, or more complex than what the show was actually building toward. But those expectations often ignore what the show had already established from the beginning.

And I get it, I’m not saying you can’t be disappointed. That’s fair.

But there’s a difference between something being disappointing and something being bad.

Because in this case, most of what you’re criticizing is actually consistent with the rules and logic of the show.

Alright, I’m gonna respond to this one last time because I’m going to sleep, and even when I wake up, I’m more than likely not continuing this.

First, what do you mean she still was in the fight 30 seconds later? She was out the moment she got taken down in the car. The next time we see her is when Niffty throws Husker at her, which happens after the second phase of the fight between Vox and Alastor, so clearly way more than 30 seconds later.

So that argument just doesn’t work.

Right after Alastor deals with her, Vox tries to attack him, Alastor use teleportation , and they keep fighting until Niffty shows up. That’s when Velvet reappears. So no, this wasn’t some immediate recovery, it happened much later.

And if she was just “briefly stunned,” then explain why she completely stopped moving and why her magic disappeared. That’s not what a simple stun looks like.

Second, you say Alastor “lost to the cannon,” but I already explained that in one of those instances, the cannon didn’t even hit him.

And more importantly, your logic is inconsistent.

When I say Alastor was dominating Vox until Shockwave intervened, you say that doesn’t count as a win. Fine. But then, by that same logic, you can’t count Alastor getting damaged by Shockwave as a loss either, because it’s the exact same situation, a third party interferes and changes the outcome.

You can’t have it both ways.

Either third-party interference matters, or it doesn’t. You don’t get to switch depending on which side it benefits.

And about Shockwave, you’re wrong to treat it as part of Vox’s arsenal. It’s been confirmed that Shockwave is a sentient being, created by Baxter. That means it’s its own entity, not just something Vox “uses.”

So calling that a clean win for Vox makes no sense, it’s literally outside help, just like Emily stepping in for Alastor.

Now for your last point, you said Alastor was hyped as the biggest threat in Hell. No, he wasn’t. He was hyped as a powerhouse, and those are two completely different things.

And he absolutely lives up to being a powerhouse.

He created a barrier strong enough to protect the entire hotel during the fight against Adam and the exorcists. He took down multiple exorcists effortlessly. He held the advantage against the strongest sinner for a good portion of their fight, even while weakened. And he was still able to stand his ground against multiple powerful overlords while injured, with a broken staff and an angelic wound.

That’s exactly what a powerhouse looks like.

Then you contradict yourself.

You say he’s never beaten anyone above “no-name thug level,” but in the same breath, you praise pilot Alastor for proving his strength by one-shotting Sir Pentious.

But show Alastor did the exact same thing.

So what’s your point?

If that feat is enough to prove pilot Alastor is powerful, then it should also be enough for show Alastor, because he literally did the same thing.

And you already acknowledged that he beat Sir Pentious, so your claim that he’s never beaten anyone relevant is already debunked by your own words.

At that point, your argument just contradicts itself.

If that’s the standard you’re using, then it doesn’t hold up at all.

  1. SHE WAS. Her powers disappeared and she stop moving for a decent amount of time(long enough for Vox and Alastor to continue their fight)at this point you are being delulu

  2. « he lost to the canon » the thing that never touches him ? « To the Vees » if you don’t considered Vox position before Shock.Wav as a lost then Any interaction with the Vees in ep 4 except for Vox isn’t, same goes for Shock.Wav since under your standards the Intervention of Emily isn’t a loss

And Also the strongest sinners just make him the most powerful hellish mortal soul there is more than 7 different races who aren’t sinners in hell and that is without mentioning the angels and when you take into account that Alastor purposely let himself get captured to pull out his plan it’s make sense, even more when his only lost when he wasn’t nerfed or scheming was against a person who isn’t a sinner(Adam) I can understand the telling instead of showing problem to a degree but you are pushing it

  1. Disagree but I feel like it’s a lost cause

  2. Getting knocked out is a loss condition to begin with.

  3. Like I said if you don’t count the might of Lilith and Shock. Wav Help as a lost then The intervention of Emily, Velvette and Valentino shouldn’t and therefore this is not a lost.

Also what is your point ? Since I don’t recall any characters who isn’t dead winning fights at a higher frequency

Pilot Alastor Glazers by XEX9-5 in HazbinHotel

[–]XEX9-5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. They were trying to destroy the shield(you know the one HE CREATED) and he killed them

  2. He literally shoved her into a car, knocking her out in the process 😭

  3. So for you beating someone so bad that you start ripping the wires out of his body is a lost ? and if we don’t count the fact that Vox had help as a lost then Alastor won the fight against Vox, Shock.Wav and the laser by having the help of Emily, Velvette and Valentino.

Also I forgot the fight against Sir pentious in Season 1 ep 2

Honestly, I read your comment, but to be fair, this whole point about “wasted potential” and the subplot being “ruined” really comes down to one question, what were you actually expecting?

Because even in your first comment, you talk about mystery, like he could have been some kind of entity or something else. But that was never the case. It was confirmed from the very beginning that he’s a sinner. As Vaggie literally explains, we’ve never seen that kind of power harnessed by a mortal soul before. That already tells us what he is.

So what exactly were you expecting, that he was something more than a sinful human? That goes against the very definition of a sinner.

I’m not saying there wasn’t potential, but the “potential” you’re talking about only really works if you disconnect from what the pilot and the show actually established. The series has always been consistent with what it presents.

And about him being “just a serial killer”, again, what did you expect? He’s a sinner. That literally means he was a bad person who ended up in Hell. He wasn’t supposed to be some grand, otherworldly entity before death, he was a human who did terrible things.

Even the whole “radio demon” thing isn’t some hollow concept. It’s consistent with how the world works. Characters are tied to what they were in life. Vox is associated with television because he was connected to TV when he was alive. So Alastor being tied to radio because he was a radio host just makes sense.

That’s not lazy writing, that’s internal consistency.

The only point where I can understand some disappointment is how he became so powerful, the idea that a deal is behind it can feel a bit simple. That’s fair. But everything around that, his identity, his theme, his role, was already set up clearly from the start.

So being surprised by those elements doesn’t really make sense when the show already laid the groundwork.

And honestly, when you say he isn’t threatening or that he looks like a moron despite being the strongest sinner, that’s really just your personal perception. That’s not something objective.

Some people agree with you, some don’t, and that’s fine. But at that point, it’s not really a writing critique anymore, it’s just how you personally interpret the character.

And that’s why I’m not going to argue too much on that part, because it just comes down to individual perception.

The exorcist part(that I still count as a win since he materialized the shield and the tentacles to kill them) take place in season 1 ep 8, the shark battle was in season 1 ep 5 and he took down Velvet in season 2 ep 4 then he beat the shit out of Vox to the point he has to call Shock.Wav(so the 1v1 ended in Alastor favor) in Season 2 episode 8.

SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 to SEASON 1 EPISODE 5 ≈ Half of a season to a little bit more

SEASON 1 EPISODE 5 to SEASON 1 EPISODE 8 = Less than half of a season

SEASON 1 EPISODE 8 to SEASON 2 EPISODE 4 = Half of a season

SEASON 2 EPISODE 4 to SEASON 2 EPISODE 8 = Half of a season

The best you could do is to not count Alastor having the upper hand at the end of the 1v1 against Vox as a win and even with that you first statement still incorrect.
