Just finished watching the whole of "HAZBIN HOTEL" season 1 in Amazon Prime - spoilers within!

I just watched the prequel retro-pilot. Pretty good.

New pilot seen. I liked it very much!

I laughed like a maniac at the end, when the IMP crew enter the mortal world at top speed with their van and they run over and kill VIvzie as she is about to give the script to Brandon (!!!).

Very nicely done, in my opinion. The new pilot is now coherent with how the show has moved.

I enjoyed it :slight_smile:

Here’s our favorite VERY HORNY OWL BOI calling Blitzo in “Mission: Zero”. The best part is Loona’s reaction.

The first two episodes of Hazbin Hotel season 2 are out. Looks to be setting up for an epic season arc. (I still like Helluva Boss more.)

I would say that we wait before commenting on episodes to avoid spoilers on people who haven’t seen them. What do you think that we wait until the next set of episodes is out in Amazon Prime before commenting on the previous ones?

I have watched the first 6 episodes of HH 2nd season and I can only say…

HOLY SHIT!!!

My favorite songs so far from the 2nd season are “Gravity” and “VOX Dei”. The first is amazing and the second is… wow.

Well, the whole second season of HH is on streaming.

After watching the whole thing, I have to say that I liked it. A few comments:

(1) I was at times rather upset at Charlie, who at times seemed to be running like a headless chicken and kept falling for Vox’s traps again and again. But I could understand that she was definitely out of her element, and this cluelessness of hers fits with her personality (not to mention that she likely is proud and would be loath to ask or accept advice).

(2) Holy fuck, Alastor. What a way of getting rid of two deals in less than two minutes… he was playing the long game and played Vox like a fiddle, while being tied to a chair. Alastor has become waaaaay more dangerous. I thing he is set to become one of the really big villains in the future.

(3) I cannot be the only one who thought that Emily would for sure allow herself to be blown up while teleporting the malfunctioning superweapon elsewhere or something, right…? Thematically I think that it would have been rather apt (a high-ranking angel sacrificing herself for the sinners’ sake would definitely show a will to atone for genocide - although I guess that Sera probably would not have reacted well…). But I don’t mind the actual ending (and to the complaint of the day being saved by “the power of friendship” I would say that a big factor in the cooperation of the overlords was “the power of not wanting to be vaporized by a nuke”).

(4) I have the feeling that Lute is being let to “cook slowly” into her insanity, so as to make her the main villain in a future season. “Gravity” was an incredible banger of a song, and although I guess quite a few people were upset that Lute didn’t go wild/rogue in this season, I think that “Gravity” did what the Vees’ songs did in season 1: mark them as the main villains for a future season.

(5) POOR ANGEL DUST….!!!

There are many more things to comment, but well… these are some of my takes :slight_smile: Would love to discuss the series.

Ah! Also, the songs in general were very good, in my opinion.

You have to remember - Its OK to have sympathy for the characters, but they did REALLY BAD THINGS on earth to get sent to hell. Pentious’ non-action was a simple one to get forgiveness for. Whatever Angel did on earth, I assume, was much worse than that.

Well, of course he did awful things! He was in the Mafia, after all… and he killed his own father. Whether that was more or less justified, it is still a terrible thing!

Nonetheless, I cannot help but feel sympathy and pity regarding the situation he finds himself in, especially the discovery that he never truly had free will and was made to do rather nasty stuff (and, having been in the Mafia, the idea of being a “rat” must have been very painful for him).

If you haven’t seen it, on Amazon is “Hazbin Hotel on Broadway”. Its a one-shot, showing all the actors that voice the characters.

  • Charlie looks like Charlie :slight_smile:
  • Angel looks like Angel.
  • Vox and Alastair? Not even close what I thought their actors would look like.

Its a good watch.

The Broadway show is great.

And not only does Erika Henningsen look like Charlie - talking with her, I found that, personality-wise, she IS Charlie! The same optimistic, cheerful, kind and bubbly demeanor. A really sweet person.

Blake Roman has a way deeper speaking voice than I expected, and Amir Talai is wickedly fun. Joel Pérez (voice of Valentino) is the polar opposite to his character: smart and very kind.
