Okay. First off, none of this is hate against Vivziepop. I don’t hate her, nor do I love her because honestly I don’t personally know her and I don’t see the point of hating on someone.
While I was a very big fan of her work back then my opinions have now changed as I’ve aged. But you have to remember that I do not hate Vivienne Medrano, and this is not a hate post directed towards her or anyone else.
Alright. I know this is off topic and I’ve never really hinted at or talked about this. But now I feel like I need to get this off my chest because it has just confirmed my worst fear for Helluva Boss.
When the first episode came out I was ecstatic although a little dissatisfied with the end, however I assumed that Vivzie and the crew were just finding their footing as this was their first episode.
Then came episode 2, it was okay. Then episode 3, alright. And then so on and so on. That’s when I started to question what exactly I was watching.
I tried not to be too judgmental, however that would soon turn out to be a slight miscalculation.
I began paying more attention to the commentary, ranting, and reviewing side of YouTube of which I found many Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel related topics.
I took in and understood their criticisms, and left it at that. Yet even I started to notice these mistakes as well.
From the “Millie problem”, to the repeating use of Moxxie having to prove himself, and the undying focus onto the show’s most popular ship Stolitz.
Now, I do not despise the ship, and I do not ship it either. But this felt like a punch straight to the face for what I’m about to tell you next.
Season 2, Episode 4 confirmed everything. And once again, it was focused on Stolas and Blitzø. It was then that I realized, I wasn’t watching a mature show.
I was watching something else, entirely different from the story I had been promised.
