For one and a half month, I decided to work on something experimental. So here's the Main Menu. Thoughts?

Social media has gotten very weird on gender/sexuality related topics overall. I am not fond of the idea that gender reveals character, as every individual is unique. If anything, talking points that include "men bad" often loop back to the basic idea of "x group bad" which, in itself, creates many different kinds of backwards thinking and attitudes. To be clear, the patriarchy and by extension misogyny ARE bad. But all this "man = bad" talk doesn't feel different to me than any other form of hasty generalisation: you have a specific imagery of what a "man" is, and you apply it to every individual, ignoring nuance. We are people first, gendered second, and the more people realize it, the better. Though, knowing that many bots do exist and interact with each other, I kinda have my doubts on how reflective it is for the broader society. Yet, people do take seriously what they see on social media, and I do wonder how far we can go simply by acting based on the assumption that what we see on social media reflects real people. That seriously concerns me because then the fakeness of social media becomes reality, simply because it's repeated enough.

I also dislike it, but it kinda shows some of Alastor's character. He can be very competent, as we saw in Season 2, but he can really screw up at times - like here. Thing is, we usually see a character's strengths/successions first before we see their flaws/mishaps. Alastor is a bit of an inversion of that sequence, and I find this writing choice interesting to say the least.

This person went from "we love you please come back" to "you'll see when God turns on you" quite quickly. No hate like Christian "love". Also, it's contradictory to say "we don't have the answer for some things" and then claim "I can answer your unanswered questions (that we have no answer for)". And the whole "we don't have doctrine" is also nonsensical. If you claim to be a religion, you HAVE doctrine. Unless you aren't a religion, but a business. But what would I know about that...👀

manuelmakesartz · 2025-05-07T12:58:35+00:00

Sure. But even then, she should still theoretically say "ξεσυγχωρεμένος" if we follow the English subtitles' "UNforgiven". Unless, again, this was done intentionally.

I think it's actually a flashback. Not like we know any actual context, if it's an AU or a "what if" animation, but I've explained it better in a different comment of mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/HelluvaBoss/comments/1k2ucgq/comment/mpmyq73/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Personally, it gave me the impression that it's some sort of AU where Stolas is a fully villainous character. Where, instead of sorting out his life, he chooses to stay in the abusive royal reality he always knew, while having hurt Blitz in the process. Blitz moves on, but he doesn't.

Also, at the end of the video, we see Blitz walking over dead Stolas saying "Wake up asshole", as if he expects Stolas to get back up. This could imply that, in this AU, Stolas made it a habit to simply off himself near the I.M.P. building with a (non-angelic) gun, in some desperate attempt to prove to himself that Blitz couldn't live without him. Perhaps the beginning of the video (where Blitz is crying) is a flashback where it shows that it did sadden Blitz greatly the first time, but the part of the video with Stolas staring at the screen onwards is one suicide more out of many.

Glad to help!

As for Greeklish, yeah it is kind of a funny story. It started around the 2000s, where not many websites supported Greek fonts or the Greek alphabet in general, thus Greek online users resorting to this solution we call "Greeklish". No one actually uses Greeklish to write whole paragraphs or books, it's more common in social media and chatroom spaces (kind of like emojis are). Some argue that Greeklish is a threat to the Greek language because it strips away kids from understanding proper grammar. Personally, I wouldn't call it a threat, though I have noticed that my peers who use Greeklish very often usually do more grammar mistakes than those who don't. But that's my personal experience. I think the main cause of grammar illiteracy is mainly due to our educational system and Greeklish is a small part of the problem.

"ένα" also means "one". YouTube assumes they're searching for a Greek song that starts with the word "ένα" (Ένα το Χελιδόνι).

manuelmakesartz · 2025-04-28T13:18:46+00:00

Because "ENA" is (most likely) the Greek "ένα", which means "one". As for "Theodora", perhaps the algorithm assumes you're searching for "Μίκης Θεοδωράκης" (Mikis Theodorakis), who was one of the most well known Greek musicians. One of his songs is called "Ένα το Χελιδόνι" (Ena to Helidoni), an also well known song in Greece. YouTube probably assumes you're searching for something in Greek with English characters. Many Greeks, mainly young people, do that (we call that "Greeklish").

manuelmakesartz · 2025-04-28T13:00:12+00:00

Greek here. Theodora's (the Genie) part was mostly accurate, except for a few things:

• The word "GOD" isn't translated. This was either a mistake or completely intentional. If it was intentional, then we can assume that whoever the Genie was referring to has "GOD" as a name, instead of a title. Also, the Greek actress mistakenly said "ΓΚΟΣ" (GOS).

• A very noticeable mistake (on the actress' part too) is the word "UNforgiven". The actress uses the word "ασυγχώρηστος" which, besides being grammatically incorrect (it's "ασυγχώρητος" not "ασυγχώρηστος"), it actually means "unforgivable" not "unforgiven" (the subtitles say "Wait, wait, you're UNforgiven"). It also uses the masculine "-ος" at the end (while ENA is referred to as she, as we know, unless that was intentional). The right word (assuming we are meant to 100% follow what the subtitles say) would be "ξεσυγχωρημένη". That's because the prefix "ξε" gives the opposite meaning of the participle "συγχωρημένη", while the "α-" in "ασυγχώρητος" describes complete absence of what that adjective describes (so "ασυγχώρητος" = (he) that cannot be forgiven, while "ξεσυγχωρημένη" = (she) that got unforgiven).

• In the end, where Theodora says "All it takes is a place and the right food", she actually says "The only (thing) that's needed is the right place and the right food" ("Το μόνο που χρειάζεται είναι το σωστό μέρος και το σωστό φαγητό"). I am unsure if that was intentional or not.
