Hot Take Thread

Oh boy, I can’t speak for Hazbin since I only saw the first half of S1, but i can say Helluva Boss’ writing is just godawful, especially in S2. They completely abort arcs and throw away potential for compelling stories in favor of some toxic ship, they kill off potentially interesting characters just for shock value (not just any background character ofc, those are fine, I’m saying characters as significant as like, Chazwick Thurman.), and clearly seem to prioritize jokes at the expense of the storyline and pacing, which is NOT something you should prioritize at all in storytelling. Jokes are all well and good, but not at the cost of those. 

But the biggest problem is easily the fan base, for reasons I’ve explained to death on this forum. Vivziepop herself can seldom handle criticism, let alone her fan base, and they’re basically enabling her to continue this way because they can’t bring themselves to say “okay, this episode could have been better” in a constructive way. They would rather just act like every episode is some flawless masterpiece and frame anyone who thinks otherwise as some toxic hater out to get Vivziepop. 

In the future, when this shows all done, I feel like people will look back on it and it won’t age well at all, with the problems I’m pointing out now becoming a lot more noticeable. 

I seriously pray the majority of people defending the show and acting like criticism = death threats and the like aren’t over 15, only because the alternative is much scarier.

So apparently it's a hot take that when building lego sets instead of opening the bags in number order in-between building, to just open them all at once and build from one pile. I do the latter for a couple reasons.

1. I find it tedious to have to stop building to open a whole other bag. I think it just slows everything down.

2. I find it satisfying to see a big pile of LEGO dissappear. It gives me a feeling of progress.

I will never understand the entire thing with Vivziepop, considering she's an absolutely terrible person and I've heard a lot of bad things regarding stuff surrounding her. Her shows don't even feel like proper adult animated shows at all, just things I'd see on the Internet rather than something I will see on television, if that makes any sense. Both the direction of the show and the designs are incredibly uninspiring, at least to me. The designs of Lucifer and Husk especially bother me.

I also find various characters to be incredibly insulting, Angel Dust being a notable one.

What did Vivziepop do, if I may ask? 

I love poptarts, but there was a hard piece of marshmallow that was basically like plastic in my smores one years ago and I've avoided them since.

I don't know any hot takes, but I know a hot tip.
