I talk about youtube animated pilot turned a24 animated series on amazon prime. It stars Keith David, Stephanie Beatriz and a bunch of people who are famous on broadway or something. Is it good? Did you read the title? Its bad. Terrible even. I talk about why in this review. Watch it to find out my opinion!

To everyone who is commenting because of my criticism of Angel Dust, I do not mean to insult you personally if you found meaning in the characters arc because of your struggles I am merely stating my reaction. If you relate to Angel Dust or the character means a lot to you I am happy for you and sorry if I upset you.
I feel for them as well, but relating to Angel Dust and liking those scenes doesn’t mean they’re absolved from criticism. There are definitely issues with how his arc is handled in the show, and they aren’t erased because people like aspects of his character journey. Plenty of people look to fiction to offer them solace, but I wouldn’t hold back on criticizing any other show solely based off of its depictions of heavy subject matter.
There’d be no reason to criticize something like 13 Reasons Why in that case, and a world where I can’t shit on that god awful show just because people related to its depictions of suicide, substance abuse, grape, etc. is a world I’d rather not live in.
Bro stop apologizing for weak ass internet randoms. Boo hoo cry me a fkn river
Completely agree.
You don’t have to apologize man
You really should not apologize if they relate to Angel dust. that’s not your problem! just say your opinion because I’m so sick of hearing these meat ridders.
i personally dont mind the show, but somebody explain how when angel gets sexually harrased, it gets its own episode and its a serious issue, but 2 EPISODES LATER sir pentious gets sexually harassed and its a "joke". people are saying that it was sir pentious's fault, but what happened to angel also was technically his fault too as he literally sold his soul..
They are different situations tho. Angel is contractually obliged to do whatever his mentally, physically and sekually abusive boss tells him. He's over here getting beaten and graped, crying, and struggling with substance abuse...Sir Pentious just mistakenly proclaimed he was gonna bang everyone in the club and the crowd obliged lol
Not saying its not messy to have SA be serious in one shot and a gag in the next but I don't think it was terrible. I laughed a bit at the club scene lol
@@AlexN5597 maybe because for Angel dust, his soul was literally sold to Valentino and he hast to do whatever Valentino says including being constantly abused and taken advantage of by both Valentino himself and whatever dudes or girls he brings in for angel dust to have sex with on camera, but Sir Pentious is a wuss and instead of being a little bit more straightforward to Cherrybomb that he’s interested in her and he wants to hook up with her he decides to cover up his advances by making it look like he wants to do it to everybody, and she just happens to be part of the crowd. He buys drinks and shots for everyone in the club so when he says he’s going to have sex with the whole club, they gladly jump on his offer. He kind of brought that on himself by saying that he was going to have sex with everyone in a sex club
Stephanie Beatriz is an outstanding voice actor, her performance in hazbin hotel was a product of bad direction and songs that weren't made for her vocal range.
Direction or not her voice acting was abysmal
@@InnerAtanih fr like her singing voice was way too weak and did not match with her normal voice in “whatever it takes”..
This is some top tier sarcasm
I love it NO I respect it
She kind of sounds like Raven from Teen Titans go honestly compared to how upbeat she sounds in Encanto. It’s crazy.
The show is basically that episode from SpongeBob where they tried to "redeem" Manrray but he was just lying.

I absolutely dont understand the hype for this show. WHY IS IT EVEN A HOTEL?
Thank you
charlie explained it in the pilot grr >:(
Why is it a hotel?....PFFFFF😭...why are you asking that when Vaggie and Charlie answer why in the first couple of minutes of the first episode! Have you not gotten even THAT far?💀
I don't. I always thought their content was garbage.
Bro you can’t even understand the base of a show. If it’s too hard to understand you better Should go watch caillou or skibidi toilet
I find it ok. Even though it is an adult show there is so much cursing and sexual jokes it kinda gets annoying and I wish they lighten down A LOT :/
FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME. I feel like the character designs and the whole premise of the show would be something I came up with when I was 7 years old. The character designs make absolutely no sense -- they don't tell you anything really about what kind of character it is, because they are pretty much all wearing red and black and white. (you could say that's just because they're all "evil" but it's really not helping me care about the characters or distinguish between them)
The storyline and the pacing are all over the place and it feels VERY messy, and my least favorite part of the show is that it can't go half a minute without a curse word lol it feels extremely immature for what's supposed to be an adult show
@@Literallycarmella it is sad for me to see another writer have such an aversion to constructive critique. not to mention how it reflects on your maturity. i hope you will take critique into account someday friend
And also the fact literal 10 year olds meat ride this show and will probably grow up to not know why innapropriate jokes are uncomfortable for some people.
@@Literallycarmella I never said I hate the art style, I said the character designs are bad at conveying information due to the color schemes and overcomplicated markings
@@Literallycarmella so any criticism of it is invalid because the argument is "just dont watch it"
I agree, that Fluzzy guy kinda wack and just pissed you're right, but MANY have made the same analysis. Hazbin doesn't feel very adult, more like an edgy fanfic pretending to be a TV show. (They're all furries, they all act edgy, the only comedy is repeated cursing...) I like the show but still. Even to certain fans it's obvious
No, her voice acting in Encanto is actually decent, so definitely bad direction in my opinion. (Regarding Vaggie VA)
Thanks for the insight
Nah I thought her voice acting was ass ngl

Oh yeah and you wanna talk about tone deaf? Just wait until you see the ending where they build up Sir Pencious like he’s about to be a hero and fight for everyone and he gets killed in a millisecond before he even gets to do anything, in a super comedic way no less. Then they cut to Charlie and everyone crying in a super dramatic way with sad music playing. I know it’s a cartoon but it doesn’t know when to be sad and when to be funny without mixing them.The whole scene undermines the point of the show too because it’s supposed to be about bettering yourself. Sir Pencious starts off as a horrible inventor but at the climax of the show when they’re all preparing for war, there’s a montage, that’s right an entire freaking MONTAGE of Sir Pencious building and training for war but still somehow gets killed by just Adam alone in literally less than a second.
I thought you were going to mention the scene where Sir Pentious got gang r*ped as a joke and 30 seconds later Angel Dust stood up to his r*pist and it was portrayed seriously. This show does NOT know how to handle sensitive topics
And goes to heaven
OMG IKR LIKE WHAT WAS THAT 😭
I thought it was done really well
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING!
I honestly just feel bad for this show. Like the fact that I’ve seen people say the pilot is better than the show entirely just says a lot
Oak
I love the show and it's like the classic animated darker cartoons and I love Hazbin Hotel I prefer it over Helluva Boss
@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 Same here! It's right up my alley lol But I really think they should have kept it on YT instead of letting Amazon fuk with it.
I agree. I feel like it was a lot of "Okay here's this plot line, now here's another!" and then they just dropped the other plot line. It feels like an outline of a show to be honest.
I have a multitude of issues with the show thus far, many of which you addressed, but I think the inconsistency in tone, the show's habit of favouring side characters over the main cast, and the way it constantly splits characters apart are the worst of them. I think the last problem is the most severe for me - the characters have dynamics that I greatly enjoy, but I feel like those dynamics are only half as fun when even a single member of the main cast isn't present to add to them, yet the show constantly insists on separating them - it's like the writers are insecure about their cast even though their interactions as a group is, in my eyes, the show's greatest strength.
You phrased that better than I did
In fairness I've been complaining about it to friends for a long, long time lmao
Thing is the side characters are honestly just better...which is sad

You weren't even that scathing in this review, but I understand how rabid the fanbase can be for this series. You make some good points, for the most part Hazbin Hotel is a pretty shallow, very mediocre albeit flashy show with some alright songs. From a writing perspective it suffers greatly, something that definitely feels grazed over in favor for these big dramatic emotional scenes that have no set up and no followup. Generally in song form is how we "know" the character has went through some change. The worldbuilding is very nonsensical and the pacing is far too fast.
The way it handles heavy subject matter that just does seemingly come out of nowhere is poor too. The humor is usually a dud and I dislike how paper thin every character seems to be.
There is many things that could be good in the series, but Hazbin Hotel isn't really interested in telling a great story. It wants just to do enough in terms of jokes, flashy musical numbers and maybe some emotional tear-jerky scenes. It's basically the McDonalds of animation, most people will eat it and think it's decent enough, but it's far from gourmet.
completely agree here I've felt all of this while watching it but couldn't place why I specifically felt this way about as it looked and sounded very nice the actual depth of this show is very much lacking
brother, i absolutely love the songs, it’s the writing that’s kinda.. yk
honestly, the dude was harder on the show than a lot of the people I've seen criticize it.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah i thought angel dust was fine... UNTIL they got to the BDSM club and made a joke about Sir Pentious getting rapes by being dragged by his tail by some of the attendents and joking about it and not listening for his cries for them to stop. What. The. Fuck. Completely ruind the point of Angel. How are you going to say "oh this is bad because it happened to our main charecter" but then turn around and be like "well Pentious is the awkward new guy! Rape jokes are funny if we do it to him!! Ha ha!"
What the fuck is wrong with Viv for that? Did NO ONE ELSE see that?
Why is it okay for Pentious, but "aww poor baby" for Angel????
There is also a rumour about that Sir Pentious was originally a racist caricature of Vivs friend. Which makes it even worse😭
@@poumybeloved oh god yeah that's uh, not very good, especially since Pentious got redeemed too lmao
@@poumybeloved Viv would do that and she wouldnt care, she's really horrible of a person if she does that to her friend and yet she makes Beelzebub a better image of her idol.
Its sir pentious fault lmao
@@heheaoe9817 no fr, because... he was going to have sex with EVERYONE! :D
I’m so glad I had no idea about the show until it came out on Amazon because I had no expectations and thought it was great. The only thing I’m mad about is Amazon is the richest company in the world and couldn’t even reanimate or touch up the original online pilot from 5 years ago because I had no idea what was going on when I put on the “first” episode. They assumed everybody who would watch was a previous fan and already in the know but isn’t the entire point to get more viewers so they can make money?
There is many more viewers because all fans watched the show when it come out and now all people who are keeping the show in the top 10 are generally new, and Amazon did a good choice investing in this show
Same, It probably has one of the worst fandoms ever and the only people who like it are a bunch of wierdos
Amazon isn’t going to invest all its stock into an adult cartoon about hell
Finally someone who displays real objective and constructive criticism about this show.
Thanks, no such thing as "Objective" criticism though
Objective ???
@@Pamela-dv7gb yes, the fact you wrote that with 3 "???" is more than enough reason for you to self reflect on your own bias.
There's alot of issues but two I have is it's barely adult such as with that Rubber Duck moment cause that's not for the specific show it is supposed to be and the voices are so painful and make it so impossible to listen, they are dry, not as enthusiastic to seem like they are people and just robotic in so many moments, the old cast are much better & natural especially with that Farewell Song that many took part in, they have the life, enthusiasm & energy that the new cast dont and is a reason why I cant watch this show.
It’s not adult, it’s a teen/adult show
Fandoms gonna die after season two istg
I personally like the show but jeez people on the commemts really dont understand that peopld are allowed to not like the show lmao
This happens with everything lol
Unfortinately, people go bat shit crazy when someone doesn't like the same thing as you, wether its a game movie tv show video ect
@@abbyadventure5689 fr tho are people allowed to have opions?
It's called liberalism and anti-individualism. Everyone is supposed to think the same and that's that.

@@ZennonTheOneLiberalism and anti-individualism are not the same thing. I can agree with you on the dislike of this show but there's no need to insert politics into this.
It's sad because I honestly think this show has some unique and interesting ideas. But the development of these ideas is done so poorly that it ruins the show in so many ways.
Yeah I’m tired of everyone talking about this show, every time I say I hate this show I get attacked lol
Same.
Same here
People need to understand that we have free speech and have every right to hate and love on certain things.
@@mosquito359 the Internet has different Plans, unfortunately😔
HOW DARE YOU DISAGREE WITH MY TASTE IN CARTOONS!!! 🔫 😡
As a new fan of HH I have gathered you a list of why I rate it a 6/10 (it’s kinda hard for me to explain what I mean but I’ll try my best)
1.inconsistency -
Alastor literally says he doesn’t believe in the hotel helping sinners ( if we were to take the pilot into account ) then Charlie says that he cares about the hotel then the next episode says that he doesn’t so does he care about it or not?
-What even is the premise of this show atp? War or redemption pick one🙃.
-why does what husks says about the some characters not reflect in their actions? Charlie lets people deal with her problems or lets them help solve it with her.
- suddenly angel is trying to be a better person ?? Did this happen off screen ?
-Does Charlie know why heaven is killing them or not? ( I’m genuinely confused)
2. Lack of build up -we don’t even know Carmella and her daughters personally and we are supposed to care about them?
-When did Vaggie have relationship problems with Charlie? the comes out of nowhere.
-angel dusts sudden redemption (again) and how we are supposed to to care he’s going back to his old ways.
3.Pacing
-You’re telling me time pasted by that quick?
-we are just getting used to these characters they seriously need to slow down 🙏
4. Irrelevant stuff
-If we removed that whole conversation with mimsy about alastor we would literally lose nothing.
-Charlie never does anything about Val ( personal pet peeve)
5. Show don’t tell
-Characters should definitely explain things to characters who already know what they’re taking about because that’s how humans talk ? 😐 -Charlie reading a book that would most likely NOT calm her nerves if it’s literally about the thing she’s stressed about just seems like it was there to drop exposition instead .
-husk just states the characters problems instead of us finding out for ourselves 👍
6. ?
- why does alastor hate Lucifer straight away they haven’t even met .
-Angels personality and design
7. Character traits are more bland or completely gone compared to the pilot
8.Charlie’s relationship is bland .
9. tone deaf
- sir p death is seen more as a joke than something serious .(in ways of interpretation. Ik it wasn’t meant to be)
-sir p has sex with people he did not want to have it with as a joke then angel sticks up for him self to Val against the same thing that was joked about.
-Val is shown as an idiot in ep2 ( pet peeve)
It was trash. 2019 show was fun but this show is the ultimate lie. Amazon and A24 were bad. It lies to people who cannot do well and the last episode copied Avengers Endgame and Harry Potter part 2 final movie for a terrible final fight. The snake demon going to heaven is stupid and a cheat.
Also, thanks to this terrible show by Rings of Power company, animation is ruined.
Had to watch all 8 episodes to let it help me move on from Hollywood when it was not right. Show did not do well. There are some fun things in it. It felt too rushed and the storyline felt so simplified.
God Bow was far superior to that hack show which is making Heaven the villain and giving us a dumb evil angel who is Adam the man of Eden. The show was made to hurt men and all of human kind. I was very angry with episode eight the most. Instead of a stupid war, we could have seen a presentation of the demons trying to improve on that execution day to stop angels so that one of demons could have gone away from hell redeemed and able after months of trying. But no, we get a bland fight. The fight was super weak and God Bow which I made easily destroys show. Had a human who is not a dumb ass and jerk like Vivziepop Adam who came off like a jerk with no better character and he sounded like Beetle Juice.@CipherRage-tp5ql
God Bow made Hollywood become a complete pussy. Hollywood has always been racist and evil to black people. Every year black movies have to be same and have slave south based shit and dumb ghetto based gang stories with no end. I helped by giving other people a story with fantasy world that has different black based characters and different adventures. God Bow is not a pandered sham trying to be like Black Pussy MCU which gave us a dull shit hair villain wearing Vegeta top. God Bow may be short but it shows a different and fun quest that has a greater hero who does not act like a complete jerk and clown which Hollywood continues to enforce. God Bow also has better villains who actually are a threat and some of them are too great like Silver Empress, the slime demon in beginning, and the smoking demoness. As a maker I cannot stand how a fun show like Hazbin Hotel became just a sham and lied to ruin good, redemption, and care.
My movie God Bow made Hollywood and this show look weak. For ages Hollywood made black people have to rely on same trash movie ideas with ghetto, old south slavery, slavery, self abuse, and dull journeys to make other cultures feel better. God Bow was made to help out and be fun, not a sham to attack heaven to make Adam into a complete mess for men and humans.
Surely, instead of claiming this shows injecting ‘rape scenes’ into a ‘stupid kids comedy’, it makes far more sense to say the shows taking fundamental character traits, that practically any character has at the start of a new show, and is contextualising their behaviour by showing how and why they have become who they are. And for Angel, a facade. You can claim its tonal whiplash however much, but the scene with Angel and Val before the song creates a tone that is supposed to be scary to really cement the supposed ‘lavish’ life Angel lives with the backbone that he is much more deep as a character than it seems on the surface, which the song shows by this.
Opinions are opinions I completely get it. But fundamental writing like this cant be overlooked, even if not everyone might enjoy it.
I feel like the most important thing is “stupid kids comedy” isn’t what this is???? Who the fuck shows this to a child?
@@sundalius The "Addict" Music video has "NOT FOR KIDS" in the fcking TITLE. Anyone that seriously thinks this is for kids is ignorant at best
the only thing they completely never mentioned in the warning was rape. They mentioned sexual assault but what was also shown was a good few clips of rape. You can look the definition up. What was shown was specifically forced or coerced penetration between angel and Val @@benisvoy9367
@@sundalius I use barely adult because it is, it's childish and fails at going at all far and commit to being mature and adult.
@@artistanthony1007 Correction, it's adult, not mature. Which is a controversial opinion, still. Adult means that you shouldn't show it to anyone younger than 18, which makes sense. It has countless cuss words, sex jokes, you name it. Mature; in which, the show IS MATURE; means that it's more mature and has serious topics.
Gotta say overall I don’t agree with your review but main points I disagree with are that is that the more serious themes are explored in previous episodes, it’s true it’s not the main point of the episodes but it shows such as angel dusts pimp messages to him and how trapped he feels and how after snake guy comes in he’s feels pushed out by the people he has started to considered friends, were the SA scenes unesscary? Maybe but it does show how violent his life truly is, I will say im surprised you never brought up how rushed the show feels because I do agree that it feels rushed maybe because of the episodes number but who knows, overall I love the show but I can tell it’s got it’s flaws but I wouldn’t call it a complete mess
the biggest thing I've yet to see ppl talk about is the warning specifically not adding in rape. In one of the scenes you can see val and angel having intercourse though we all know angel is not consenting, he is being forced and or coerced into it which is rape. this is my BIGGEST complaint so far because they specifically didn't add the warning for whatever the reason they should still be held accountable, as I was enjoying the show I was only prepared for sexual assault scenes but then was very surprised by the clip of angel being raped on screen even if it was only a few seconds. it was pretty traumatizing without any warnings.
@@Damnlmtired yeah solid point, there should defintly be a warning about this scene at the start of the episode, it is werid they didnt put it in, i wonder why they didnt
Yeah I wish for the female Exorcist Angels (subgroup of dead humans that went to heaven and work under Adam) the show would have explicitly told the audience early on that the head area was a horned LED mask instead of finding out through a random livestream that its a job uniform. Even with the outlines in Episode 1 showing 6 wing seraphim angels, you don't see until Episode 6 what any heaven born angels or any "winners" (what they consider the oposite of sinners) actually look like. The only main difference from the appearance you have when you die as a sinner or a winner is sinners have more demonic forms and 1 feature you will hate for eternity, and the winners seem to like everything about their appearance and have lighter and brighter colors.
I was going to leave a serious comment about my own criticisms of the show, but I just think it's hilarious that the Verbalase shıt was brought up less than 15 seconds into the video 😂 we really can't get enough of clowning on that simp can we
Legitimately one of the few things I knew about the show
In my opinion the main problem is the how some of the fanbase could make the show worse. Like most people act like they like the show because of the hype showed from other fans. This causes a lot of random posts like “my favorite song of hazbin hotel” which kind of pisses me off
Agreed!
After seeing the sitch for myself, I have no faith that the creators and any other related projects to Hazbin Hotel can ever deliver something great. Season 2 will no doubt go on to be the same thing in terms of quality and lengths. The creators are just very unprofessional, they don't know the craft or finesse that goes into story telling and creation. The entire story as is feels like a first draft and as if they're winging it with each episode, even if they were confined to 8 episodes that was no excuse to be sloppy or have it rushed. They could have introduced less characters, advanced the plot less, and not use the bigger elements of the story in their first season, but its obvious they chose the latter. It would have been better had they created a slice of the story for their first season rather than trying to fit a cake on a small plate. Then also reduced the musicals to 1 per episodes as I bet during the writing process they had to go out of their way just to squeeze in some of them and the structures of the episodes suffered because of that. Actually no musicals at all unless they're for main characters, why on earth did they gave side characters screen time? I don't even know what to make of it all, there was no cohesion or tension anywhere to be found and the story just fell flat. If there's one thing to point out is that very little is actually established, for one let your characters organically exist away from the plot or whatever it is that they do, but that isn't possible is because how fast paced the story is you need time for the foundation and cement to settle in. The animators did an amazing job, but no amount of pretty visuals can salvage a bad story.
I bet you can't act or sing and your criticizing people for it.Do better.
Every episode has 2 musical numbers, not 1.

I really wanted to like Hazbin Hotel, I really tried to like it, but from its rushed story, to it ‘HAHA SWEARING IS FUNNY’ humor and it’s mediocre and overly detailed and overly red design and atmosphere, it’s just at worth it.
I dont see the hype every character in the show except angel were so bland they didnt really have anything that made me gravitate towards there character most of the characters were just there basically they spent more time focusing on unnecessary characters like vox even alastor one of the main characters doesnt contribute anything to the story the only thing he did was introduce charlie to rosie everything else wasnt necessary he even says he doesnt care about the hotel in the first episode i dont like how they basically glossed over the fact husk was an overlord all he did was tell angel he was an overlord and that was it and lets not forget the songs they only have like maybe 2 good songs everyone was like the song is a bop it was stuck in my head i dont see it stayed gone has been blowing up recently but i while heartedly dont see the hype the song is mid at best and they literally switched the plot which was really confusing the worst of it all the ending the ending sucked it was so anticimatic i wasnt really at the edge of my seat with anticipation it only lasted like 10 minutes at least and of course they got bailed out by lucifer the only thing that kinda surprised me was sir pentious but his death was for plot it was so boring i wouldn't watch it again the thing that really doesn't make since is the hotel charlue created the hotel to rehabilitate sinners but it doesn't even matter because like it was shown at the end of the season you have to die to go to heaven if you are rehabilitated so the whole plot of the show is essentially meaningless sir pentious got rehabilitated but it wasnt charlie or the hotel he was the one who stood up to adam so everything charlie teaches at the hotel and the hotel itself doesnt matter my suggestion watch helluva boss you would feel better 6/10
Very unpopular opinion.
Also warching helluva boss would help you with the lore. Its the same universe
Eh it seems like a love it or hate it sort of thing
You shouldn’t have to see something else to understand the main show. This is still a failure of the show
@@Maximus-ed6ij you dont need to watch the other show to understand it. I watched helluva boss after hazbin and it just helped me to understand it more. Also its not uncommon for shows in the same universe to exist
I have never and I mean NEVER seen ANYONE who think this show is mid, including myself (I think it's amazing)
People either think it's absolutely awful or a gift from the heavens.
gotta say im glad theres someone not just praising the show for existing, i thought it didnt live up to the hype but it isnt that bad though is extremely underdeveloped and the animation kinda sucks
you just got me to subscribe, wow this was so refreshing to see someone talk about this with fluidity, I completely agree with you and its sad a lot of ppl are not willing to actually look at the back bone of this story. the only thing that's nice about it is the colors and the animation and most of the character designs. ppl are so willing to eat some half baked stuff as long as it looks nice. I honestly want this show to be forgotten so we can give the spotlight to someone with some real good story telling skills. love the review keep up the great work man
Thanks
As a fan I’d give it a 6/10 the story had so much potential 🫤😕
I hear what youre saying but angel dust being abused has been a thing since the pilot, we specifically see this with the song "addict" which is actually cannon as they talked about val having trouble counting 3 bills in ep 4 the angel dust thing wasnt random it was planned from the beginning. Not discrediting your opinion just wanted to clear some stuff up (hope this helps)
1. Gimmicks: Yeah I agree with the characters having no depth. They all seem like stereotypes pasted down and nothing beyond that to me.
2. Plot: It's poorly written so far, and I'm well aware of that. Everything is predictable and the plot seems like something I'd write at 12, which is kind of sus if you ask me.
3. Songs: I love the songs so much, they're honestly some of the catchiest I've heard all year and it blows me away how great they are. As for Stephanie Beatriz, I think she's a good voice actor, but she isn't the right person to be singing for a lower-voiced character like Vaggie.
4. Side characters: Agreed.
5. R*pe: No opinion here.
Despite agreeing with most of your points, I'm still obsessed with this show and I'm not going to let these flaws drag my enjoyment down. The art style / colour scheme is very beautiful to me, and I am interested to see where Vivzie will take this.

@@bardicinspiration66Hello, sorry this guy is being a jerk with their explanations. So neither of you are technically wrong. In older religious texts, Satan and Lucifer were different entities. As time went on they merged more into one being. Heck, some people even believe Beelzebub and Asmodeous are also Lucifer. Mythology and religion has no one correct rule.
I think you should review the rest of the series because it’s very obvious that many fans can’t handle even light critic of the show. I liked your review and look forward to you doing more!
Thanks I appreciate it
Fans can handle critics but it’s too hard for haters to understand that when You insult something people love whit subjectives opinions they take it bad? First its insulting the show but also thé people who enjoy it so i can’t se a light critic but just a joke
@@Pamela-dv7gb all opinions are subjective. Thats what opinions are
I personally agree even though I have yet to watch this series (I will after sending this comment). I didn't trust Vivzie to make a show about a demon princess any good ever since Helluva Boss started going sour for me.
Edit: Also, if I may add. After reading the comments I can see a shit ton of people getting upset with Bardic and all I can say is Jesus Christ. People can have opinions. It's not like they were saying the show should be taken down.
Thanks for the positive comment
@@bardicinspiration66 No problem, I'm sure you needed it.
If it's a musical, but all the songs are just a character telling you what they're all about, that's usually an indication that you've encountered some bad writing.
Most musicals ive seen are like that I assumed it was standard
I liked watching the show personally but I have to agree, the songs are awesome but the scenes between them made me a bit bored and confused and that is problably mainly because of the fast pacing and the lack of development in characters. So Angel, Husk and Sir Pentious still want to stay in the hotel in the finale but why? There isn't that much of a development to make them want to stay in the hotel. We can see in the pilot that they only stay there for their on purposes but a few episodes later they suddenly like each other and want to stay for each other. When did that happen?? I just hope they improve it when making the second season
Im fine with anybody’s opinion, but I love this show 😂
same XD
tho i kinda feel uncomfortable when people make criticism about hazbin hotel ;-;
@asjdhuiwadh uncomfortable for people having opinions? Not to be rude, but you shouldn't feel like that at all, with anything in life-
Same, it’s an overall good show. Could you some better pacing, and character development
@@asjdhuiwadhThe shows have juvenile writing & humor and for Adult Shows in Hell, these are not that at all and more immature. I'm sorry but that's a fact.
Wait so they changed the premise of the show and why the hotel exists?!
I just finished watching the has been hotel yesterday and honestly, I enjoyed it but it still seems like something that a 13-year-old would make thinking he was edgy for making it. It’s humor, and animation is juvenile despite it trying to make itself out to be an adult, but I do enjoy it though.
I agree
My problem with it is the children watching it, like… they make it cringe 😭 they make cringe edits. Cringe everything, I’ve made like “Mammon vs VOX” but thats it- and one more problem… the fandom nor the creator can’t take any criticism. And half the jokes are… dick Jokes
In my opinion - The worst thing about the show is it's fanbase
You’re not wrong about it.
Disagree with that last point about the SA only because I know that being way over the top sekually like that is 100% a coping mechanism I've seen with people who have a rough history with being SA'd themselves. So having a raunchy character who jokes about seks all the time ALSO be the victim of horrific abuse kinda tracks in my mind.
Two things.
I may not be into any of Vivziepop’s stuff, but I prefer the designs and voice actors from Hazbin Hotel’s pilot as opposed to what we got from the series.
What adult animated series would you recommend we watch instead of Hazbin Hotel?
South park
@@nono-bz2hb I was talking to Bardic Inspiration.
At least ur getting something okay with helluva boss
vox machina !!! (I dunno if I spelt it right)
I loved watching this show. It is also on prime video. It is very funny and entertaining. Just a warning.. there is s*x and nudity.
Ngl animation was solid, storyline in my opinion is so simple and boring, and another factor that brings the rating down are the fans, they meat ride so hard and hype it up so much more than what it is to the point where they just make the show even worse. Solid 6.5/10 in my opinion.
Edit : Not to mention they’re is literally jokes about raping and rumors that the one guy was a racist and killed black kids and men… that whole story should sum up why this show is horrible.
I think one of the main design issues in the show was the demon's masks. Once they came off i started "connecting" and giving a ****** about them on screen.
This whole time watching that I just couldn’t help but think she didn’t pay much attention to what was going on beyond the surface-level inspirations she could write a RUclips script about. It’s hinted that Angel is deeper than sex jokes in at least Ep3 if not 2, and the show’s also kinda being forced to fit a season’s worth of stuff into 8 episodes so there’s bound to be some pacing issues
Some valid criticism in here but man watching the episodes with a bit more depth would have solved like 80% of the things you claim are wrong with the show. “Inspiration” and “stolen scripts just with the fuck word added” are totally different ideas and I’m pretty sure it’s the former and not the latter as you suggest
The problem is it isn't a kids cartoon. But the fandom of the series consists of minors who doesn't have full understanding of s*x or romantic relationship. And the last part is messed up.
This show is for the 2003 hot topic version of a disney adult.
true
I can kinda understand where your going, though i do not agree that the show is bad, personally i like it but i do agree it was a bit messy and they needed to hire better writers.
I think it's ok. But it has flaws.
I didn't realy got into the hype so I enjoyed it.
Also, Angel Dust is tragic and not at all a single gimic character. Didn't you watch episode 4? You show bits of it so you must have.
Helluva Boss is honestly much better than Hazbin Hotel.
ive heard others say that as well
I love Helluva Boss but honestly it's not much better. The story is disjointed and if Bard doesn't like random cursing then that one is even worse. You get introduced to tons of characters that you quickly forget about because they are still gimmicky and only come back half the time for a quick couple lines usually. Not to mention how slowly each season is produced. I do recommend it if Bard is interested in learning more about the Helliverse which has a lot of interesting usage of different theological entities. It's a lot of fun to see how Viv represents the different demons and how she puts a lot of symbolism into character and setting designs.
*No it’s not helluva trashes writing is more messy trash!!!!! ☠️☠️😭😭😭😭*
@@ssj4gogeta130yeah sure bud
I feel a bit bipolar about Hazbin. I went into it blind and liked it a ton but after watching it a lot (as well as Helluva Boss), Hazbin just became very unappealing from a story perspective. I agree that the characters are pretty one-dimensional and that the storytelling is a hot mess of tone deaf + poorly paced + too many characters + WAY too obvious foreshadowing. Viv also has issues with properly demonstrating power dynamics in any show she makes. I still like half the songs and the world that was made but now I am much more a fan of the fan works than Viv's actual creations. I feel like the community brings the show to life far better than Viv does.
you say they have no gimmick yet the show just started.. they are delving into the characters backstories, who they are, why they are the way they are. and im not sure if you noticed but each character is designed by how they were on earth besides hell born characters like charlie and lucifer. (btw its not satan..)
I don’t know about the lore of this show, but in Christianity Lucifer and Satan are the same dude. Also you can have a character fall into an archetype and explore them later, but they need to do more than just be a gimmick

@@KiwiPersonal that’s a horrible analogy. You can say a building looks ugly yet not know what it’s missing to actually fix it. Your capabilities to point out a flaw isn’t just valid bc you know how to fix the problem
During the “whatever it takes” song I genuinely thought it wasn’t Vaggies voice actor singing because the high voice. It just doesn’t fit her to me
So many people have trouble understanding why some people find the Angel Dust stuff tone deaf. I literally had a person try to tell me that death of the author isn't a thing and you have to come in unbiased regardless of if you are uncomfortable. Accused everyone eho disagreed as having a ton of media illiteracy. So I just pointed out that by calling others interpretations "wrong." (Side note: they seemed to have deleted a comment in which they literally said something along the lines of "no your wrong." To someone else.) They were showing their own bias and that you technically cannot remove bias from any opinion piece, that's why its an opinion.
I appreciate your bravery, the show is 3/4 of the way done, so I think the criticism of you not waiting till it's over to give a review is pretty unfounded, it's had its shot, I'm sure season 2 will probably be greenlit considering how much Prime is promoting the show, but it's had adequate time to set its foundation.
The Hazbin fanbase is one of the more...ahem... active fanbases that I've been in, they're very VERY protective of their IPs, so I applaud you for having the balls to tread those waters.
Personally I hate people who are so obsessed with an IP or franchise that it can do no wrongs in their eyes, but I also hate people who are contrarian for the sake of being contrary to the mass audience so I'll reserve my opinion for when I sit down to watch your video (on the run rn).
Just wanted to leave a comment to say, bold choice.
As I've said of jujutsu kaisen. In a sea of mediocrity there's nothing wrong with being mid. It's a fun show from what seems to be a indy studio, why do people expect it to be a masterpiece? It has flaws and that's okay
Bottom line is I had more fun watching this then I did anything disney/marvel/starwars has made in the past few years.
Who mentioned Disney?
@@dylanburns7253I rather watch Jujutsu Kaisen than watch Hazbin Hotel lmao
Maybe wait till show is over, before giving a review.
There’s nothing that could happen in the rest of the episodes that would make me go “wow this is amazing I was wrong”
There’s no way these next two episodes can fix the god awful pacing of the previous episodes 💀

People can give reviews of any one episode tbh
yup. s1 is finished now and it was not that great. (spoiler spoiler spoiler) i dont think they handled sir pentious s death well, it happened wayy to fast and there was like no emotional impact, the battle was also kinda underwhelming. the show made some good songs tho@@bardicinspiration66
As someone who grew up with the 2000s era of edgy humor cartoons, it was a breath of fresh air to see this kind of thing again.
But, it was very disappointing to say the least; because the plot pacing needed a lot of polishing. It did seem very undercooked as a work of art.
The humor isn’t edgy it’s just cursing
@@bardicinspiration66This
@@bardicinspiration66 Even Invader Zim and The Amazing World of Gumball had WAY edgier humor than Hazbin Hotel, despite the former two being kids' shows and the latter being an adult show. These two shows also know how to blend together cynical dark comedy with random yet wholesome humor perfectly well without overshadowing one another, in my opinion.
I respectfully disagree.
agreed. its such a disappointment and huge waste of potential and time and energy of the people who worked on the project.
I did enjoy the show watched the entire 8 episodes but it can see how you can criticise it. I agree if you want to make a show about someone stuck in the porn industry it shouldn’t be a comedy. I agree there’s too many main characters. I think Vivian had some good ideas but she packed too many topics into season one personally my favourite parts involved overlords so I think they should have been the main focus on season one but the main issue with this show is that it’s got so many ideas and things going on it forgets about the hotel and the point of it.
i feel like they couldnt balence the humor at all, this makes me think of bojack horseman and it has humor but its about child abuse and addiction, and bo jack is a awful person but you still want him to get better, like i think its absolutely possible to mix comedic moments with very serious topics, it just has to be written well, like how in the world did they agree too 8 episodes what where they thinking, they had the money, and following, to post the show on youtube or even there own subscription service witch HAS been done it just would of taken a longer time maybe even a episode a year witch WOULD of worked there fan base have been active as hell, to me, it had out sell out energy
I see a lot of contradictions in this but im glad you stated you found the show "confusing" It is good to admit when you dont understand a medium rather than tarnish it out of ignorance so good on you.
Okay, point out the contradictions
To be fair you need a high Iq to understand hazbin hotel
I agree with you to a certain point, “there’s a song, then after 2 minutes there’s another”
Or smh like that you said, but that’s what a MUSICAL is? Singing every five seconds…😅
I specifically complained about the placement of the songs and how they disrupt the pacing of the episodes
First of all, loved the video! So happy I found your channel, keep it up with these videos, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts.
damn, all these Hazbin fans getting hella offended by this video. This guy isn't even overly hating on this stuff omg lol
Personally, as someone who loved the pilot but not the show as much, I have to agree with your points on here.
Some of my points on why I am not as crazy about this show as I once was:
-Not loving the angels design being like "pastel colored winged demon" aka: Adam
-some voice actor changes suck ( this isnt like a big gripe but imo i miss cherri bomb and husk's old voice)
- some character designs are just weird looking in a bad design way like Vox looks very similar to Alastor and Lucifer in terms of attire and the tv head thing is just idk not the best
- Plot is kind of turning for the worse so far. Pilot had great ideas, show is not really expanding upon them as we thought which might be bad later on
-Lucifer's personality, in regard to the new episode, kinda threw me off. I definitely think they missed the bar with giving him an iconic personality.
Thanks
I completely agree. This show is so childish and just seemed like Steven universe, SVTFOE, and invader zim rolled together. With none of the good parts of those shows. The people who are upset and willfully overlooking your valid arguments to be dismissive are either literal children or adult children who want their deviant wattpad edge fiction to go on. I don’t get the fanfare.
Thanks for the positive comment, I wish I would have brought up the invader zim influence but I forgot to.

I respect your view but as a Christian I don't see it taking any jabs as Christianity or any religion. Actually it's about 2 Christian values, forgiveness and redemption just from the perspective of the sinner(s) in hell. Thats just my point of view as a Christian fan of the show.
Okay so as the creator of the show has said time and time again that for the Angel dust SA scenes and story was based off of real SA and R4pe victims who work on the show, they didn’t handle that part wrong dude, they are showing scenes that show it yes but that doesn’t mean it was handled wrong, especially if real SA and r4pe victims think they handled it right, other than that tho I think pretty much everything else you said was true, but for you trying sit there and say that the Angel dust SA plot was handled in poor taste Imma point out you got more comments than likes lol

Fuck more haters but I agree Amazon did us fucking dirty 😢
the only problem with this is the fact that it is rushed. you clearly have your biases against the show as do i for it, but c'mon. the point that you're proving is that this show follows a formula.. obviously
one time I made a video hating on hazbin hotel and I got a bunch of hate comments for that
Same
Ok you have to admit most of the music is good, the animations are good, alastor Adam and Lucifer are the goats and the show is funny.
No I Dont
I can understand that this show isnt for everyone. Personally i really injoyed the show but that only because i really like the characters. I will say though that 5 and 6 is a massive improvement from the first 4 episodes and that episode 6 does explain heaven alot more and shows that not all angels act like adam. Episode 5 is by far the best episode thought and it not even close. Episode 5 also have much better pacing compared to the rest of the show which even ill admit this show has bad pacing (thats a problem they couldnt really fix with so many characters in a only 8 episode season). There us like a 4-5 month tune skip between episode 4-5 and i was confused as fk and they pass off like it normal and nothing had changed besides the fact the extermination is a month away, but yea this show is definitely a love it or hate it kinda show. The music is honestly what carries the show for me though
This show is amazing and don’t deserve all this hate
I hate hazbin lolllll (i like the character designs thats about it)
"The point"..... Christianity is hypocritical
.......The show fails to show any christian relateable things for 2 whole seasons. 😂
It's almost like the writer was yet another person who doesn't actually know anything about it, but just decided they were just going to hate it.
Hazbin has layers of problems but overall this isn't for me. I mean, if people are okay with mediocre writing, mundane characters, and subpar jokes but get distracted by the bright animation, hyper active songs, and the 2000s hot topic edge fest then good for you. I don't know why the plot gotta shift of focus where it was suppose to be about redeeming sinners to it's us vs. them but it is what it is. I know Hazbin has been in the works for nearly a decade which is crazy because everything is so rushed but, I'm sorry I'm not going to credit this series just because it "finally came out" The creator and her team had ample amount of time to refine and tune up what needed to be worked on but instead we got deviant art meets a 14 year old's wattpad account. Sorry, but I wanna watch a good story not have a show gas light me into thinking it's the best thing ever because the animation is colorful and cartoon characters are singing. Disney already had that covered for me
And it's funny how you mention that the show also recycles scripts from other shows but that doesn't sound so far fetched because fan theories were written into the show, i.e. Alastor and Vox not liking each other because they use to be friends but had a falling out, Vaggie being an angel instead of a sinner who took her own life, Alastor trying to manipulate Charlie because he's plotting something...
And also, dialog and interactions instead coming from the studio, is actually material you can find in fanwork. So, I wouldn't be all surprised if the creator "borrowed" ideas from social media while working on the show

I don’t think you understand people. I want to elaborate but based on the content you provided you can’t get past step one - grasp the material
Oh I be grasping
@@bardicinspiration66 You literally stated you found the show confusing in your video lmao You admitted there were things you couldnt grasp.
Why should angels and demons look different? LOL. Genuine question. Angels are supposed to look terrifying, their catchphrase in the Bible is "Be not afraid." If you really think about it, a demon is just an angel that doesn't care if humans are freaked out by them.
To have the show be more interesting visually, and juxtapose the angel’s prim and proper appearance with their bad behavior?
@@bardicinspiration66 Bad behavior and prim and proper behavior doesn't dictate how your body looks. The story actually goes out of its way to show that angels and demons mutate the same way. Because they are the same things. What makes a demon a demon is external damnation. They didn't have to do anything bad. It is only Italian fanfiction and fanart from the 1500s that changed angels into babies and pretty girls with wings. And its Byzantine Era anti-Greek propaganda that made demons into ugly hooved ghouls.
(This story actually does use a lot of Biblical and apocryphal references.)
Not only that, but your complaint is that soldiers slaughtering people looked too scary in their uniforms...
I agree that the story is sporadic, messy, hyperactive, and quite derivative in a lot of places. Helluva Boss is much better structured, and that's saying something. lol. But many of your points in this video are equally sporadic.
Let's take... Avatar the Last Airbender. The Gold Standard of Western Animation. Can I predict most of what Katara, Sokka, Aang, and Zuko are going to say in the first season because they have very specific, repetitive characterization? Yes. Are the Firebenders blatantly evil with a clear "imperialism is wrong" message? Yes. Does the Villager of the Week nature of the first season use tropes we've seen a billion times before? Yes. But instead of talking about the poor execution of these tropes in Hazbin which can all be used in an award-winning animation like Avatar to great effect, you focus on things like "the genocidal angels look too scary" and "I didn't notice any of the foreshadowing about the abusive hooker and his pimp, so the abuse scene felt like it came out of no where."
Your video would be a lot stronger if you focused on saying that if Hazbin wanted you to take the 6-month countdown to their deaths more seriously, it should put the full weight of its plot on DEALING with that... not complaining how boring you thought the butch lesbian's singing was.
@@bardicinspiration66 LOL, thanks for responding to me, though. XD
I dunno, I've thoroughly enjoyed every episode, the pilot, and the spinoff series. Didn't really get the criticism about the angels looking too similar to the demons. The angels have a specific and very distinct design, it's just not a nice one. I think you saw the angels depicted as evil beings and conflated that with them having "the same design" as the demons just because they're both "evil," which is just blatantly not true and short sighted because the angels you're describing are the exterminators. They are the only angels who look like that, aaand they wear a uniform. They look the same as each other by design.
Gotta hard disagree on your assessment of Vaggie as well. If you found her boring, I'm sorry to hear that, but she's definitely not "one-note." There's plenty going on with her. From her relationship to Charlie, her past as an angel (and exterminator), her stern attitude with hotel patrons contrasted against her unbreakable support for Charlie and her dreams, what she is and isn't willing to keep from Charlie. Like I really just don't get that one, Vaggie is at least as complex as Angel Dust, who you specifically called out as the exception as I guess the only deep character, which I find questionable.
I'm not sure how "it's written like a Saturday morning cartoon, except the characters say 'fuck' a lot" is a criticism? You're allowed to not enjoy the style, but that's subjective, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that style. It's an adult comedy, it's always been pitched and presented as such. That's the equivalent of criticizing South Park for making a fart joke. Like... yeah? Did you not know what you were signing up for?
Complaining about the songs seeming forced blows me away. It's a musical. You were made aware of this, yes? You mentioned there being "too many villains" during this bit as well. How do you figure? By what count? There are 2 villains in Season 1: Adam and the V's, and Adam is defeated by the end of the season. The V's are 3 characters, sure, but they function as 1 collective villain for the purposes of the story of the first season. A sort of "legion of doom" situation. And, even then, Vox is clearly being pushed as the primary villain of the 3, at least for the moment. I'm not really sure how this is hard to follow.
The complaint about SA blows my mind. They don't establish dark themes? 1. It's set in HELL. 2. The show is rated TV-MA. 3. The first episode opens with a stabbing right after the story book intro sets up the premise literally at the 2:37 mark, and the PILOT (which I can tell you haven't even watched) opens with the aftermath of a g*nocide before the 2 minute mark. Dark themes aside, we have known about Angel's past with Valentino for a long time. It's laid out pretty explicitly in the song "Addict" (havent seen that either, huh?), and even without the context of the pilot, the first episode, OR the song it doesn't take much to get the vibe that a character like Angel Dust might have some, say, lust-related skeletons in the closet. Oh right, but that character is "one-note" and "lacks depth."
"I'm not sure why the decision was made to put graphic r*pe in a stupid comedy that just takes the scripts for kids cartoons and adds curse words to them, but what a terrible decision to make!"
Graphic r*pe or script for a kids cartoon. PICK ONE you don't get both.
I'm sorry but I am over this discourse on Hazbin Hotel, and Vivziepop's work in general. You're allowed to not like it, by all means, but come up with some real criticism before you decide to bash it on a public forum. I'm so done with this noise spewing from RUclips and Twitter. It's just trendy to hate on this show because it's popular and it's so freaking obvious whenever someone does because the worst criticisms that people can bring up are either blatantly incorrect (Saturday morning cartoon), lazy (there's too much singing in my musical!), or disingenuous (bad people do naughty things in this show!).
I'm over it, and one day I'll make Google's almighty algorithm realize I'm over it, too. And for that reason, this is the last bit of engagement I'll be providing to this particular hot take. G'night everybody! And, again, really and truly, if you just don't like the show, if it's just not your cup of tea, that's great! You do you, fam. I don't have a problem with opinions, I have a problem with poorly written criticism. Peace out.
