Totally agree. Just felt like tossing my two cents in.

Why?

“Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead…”

In the US, the cultural vibe is of people feeling like they’re not in control of their own lives. Spoiler, they aren’t, but without coherent political analysis, that vibe remains just a vibe. Capitalism is efficient at picking up, repackaging, and marketing that vibe back to you. Go to the theater, cheer for the underdog overthrowing their oppressor, and then hurry home because you have a shift at the human misery factory in the morning that you can’t afford to miss.

I’m a big fan of HH and HB. The thought crossed my mind as well, but HH is really just your standard oppressed vs oppressor story that has been told for (probably) centuries. The development history is pretty heavily documented.

Glad you liked it! Yeah, that was that team’s first work after the Hazbin pilot so the first few episodes are a bit rough, but yeah, there’s a lot later on that chokes me up too. The juxtaposition of Blitz and Stolas’ relationship hits hard because I’ve been there before. It’s the negative of Fizz and Ozzy’s. But anyways, now we wait, haha.

Yeah! The first few eps suffer from lack of budget and a more Saturday morning cartoon kinda feel, but by the time you get to… episode 6 or so on the first season, it’s totally dialed in. Being gay myself it really hits on a lot of stuff moreso than Hazbin. I’m glad you enjoyed it though!

I believe every episode has at least one song, but I wouldn’t call it a musical at the beginning. It becomes more of one as the show progresses to the point where the most recent episode has 4 great songs in about 30 minutes.

They’re both good, but I like Helluva more than Hazbin, personally. IMO, the pacing in Helluva is better and it doesn’t have an external motivator pushing the plot along like the execution in Hazbin. It’s a more character-focused story (so far), exploring the relationships between a bunch of characters who all have their own issues. The first few episodes are fine, but the animation quality improves significantly as the series goes on.

Just finished here and totally agree! Looking forward to seeing when S2 happens along with more Helluva Boss.

With a pretty stacked Broadway cast too. The last two episodes of the first season come out this Friday.

I was watching a video on the OLED deck and emulation and I think it handles everything up to the PS2 era pretty strongly. It has issues with PS3/360, but that could be due to immaturity of the emulators as well.

Penultimate. I used it as though it referred to the last thing rather than the second to last thing.

I mean you have a superpowered derelict father/husband and ubermensch with a god complex teaming up with an arch-capitalist corporation to galavant across time and space to do a colonialism and steal artifacts, but did you know he talks like a farmer, hee-yuck.

Goku and Frieza fighting together for just one episode of the last fight in Dragon Ball Super was :chefs-kiss:

Also, for the old heads out there, Anubis teaming up with Ryo in Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors was so good.

The anti-hero becoming a reluctant ally is my favorite trope.
