Title: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Rainberry on 2019-11-25 13:15:41
First of all, this is NOT FOR KIDS.


Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic


Hazbin Hotel has been met with much success as well as its critics.


In a surprise release by the same folks that brought you, "Hazbin Hotel (https://psfforum.com/index.php?topic=2145.msg293532#msg293532)," we now have "Helluva Boss!"  Another pilot which in many ways could work even better than Hazbin Hotel as a series, even if the plot is not as plot heavy.  But it could make for some ridiculous humor and events.  One thing this pilot has over the others is some true voice talent.  Richard Horvitz, the voice of invader Zim, voices the character Moxxie in this pilot.  How they were able to get him to do this astounds me.  The animation is also quite good and the script is well done.  There is a tone of taboo, cursing, and things children shouldn't see.  This staff seems to have a thing for Hell being used as a background, but here you have it.  Another surprise pilot!

What do you think and do you like this more or less than Hazbin Hotel?

It was good.  It was a all over the place and that can be something people like or not.  I feel it's more comedy based and less story based.

I watched it.  It was well done.  But I don't like their super "Edgy" adult humor. It's very low brow.  But that is a matter of taste.  Some people may love that.

Animation was good and the voice work was great.

I personally enjoyed it.... but it would probably be a good adult cartoon.

It was okay.  Credit to them on the animation and character designs.  I found this more fun and less story driven then their other Hazbin thing.

Hazbin Hotel has been picked up by a distributor to be on television or streaming service.  They have investors.

I changed the topic to include both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss since I realized we didn't have an official Hazbin topic.

My thought are almost the same, but I really like the animation and all things related to Charlie*.
So it would be nice to see her cute face expressions again.

They've made another cartoon.  How do they have time for this many cartoons at such high quality?  How? 

Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: TheBeesSneeze on 2020-09-30 23:31:59
It seems to be made for a younger audience.  Personally I didn't find it all that good.   Had  lot of ideas similar to that show I forgot the name of about that kid who is basically Milo Murphy's law.  Animation was pretty nice and a big team of people worked on it.  Music I know they worked hard on, you can tell.  It's like show tunes in a theater show.  Not my thing here, but I appreciate the effort.  This seemed like a Saturday morning cartoon. The high point is again the character designs and the variation.  Little confused what the snake tailed guy is, when everything else seems to be a real creature of sorts, minus the demon guy at the beginning.

I don't know how they can get all these people to work on projects with zero budget.
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Kiwi on 2020-11-01 17:14:53
First episode of Helluva Boss has been released.

Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Silverwing on 2020-11-02 16:05:59
I just don't know who these series are for.  No network is going to want all the hardcore swearing in an animated cartoon... I mean... MTV maybe?  Are they still relevant?  This seems like it would always be a lesser product on a streaming service if they are adamant with the immense gore, violence, and swearing.

That is no diss on the amount of work and effort they put into this.  There is some truly quality animated scenes in these.  The sound work and music is all good.  There is no doubt they all have talent working on this.
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Blurr on 2020-11-04 21:33:48
Hazbin Hotel WAS picked up. And streaming services like netflix and hulu have exclusive shows that feature tons of hardcore swearing. Schitt's Creek is a good example. Not animated but vulgar, swearing everywhere, and hilarious.
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2020-11-05 15:12:27
To me, in most cases, swearing brings down the project, whatever it may be, so many pegs.

I can understand when it is needed to maybe MAKE A SCENE, but to throw it in there like a noun or a verb is stupid in my mind. 
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Wolfwood on 2020-12-11 22:58:10
They have a second episode (third if you include the pilot) of Helluva Boss made.  This series is clearly easier to make episodes about for a cartoon.  They are really pushing it.

Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: timmelon on 2020-12-12 00:56:22
Well, maybe they will make a new Hotel episode till a New Year ;D. I would like to see more Charlie.
I see they really like to make Millie look cute:

P.S. The park seems to be a really high-budget, if they can afford themselves to make a normal skybox. And of course, how you can made an amusement park episode without a rigged targets room ;D.

I'm really liking this show so far. The pilot had e thinking Stolus was gonna be an antagonist in the series but here he is and I'm proven wrong. I actually really like him and his daughter.
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Smiles2us on 2020-12-12 14:51:38
I honestly think this was their best episode yet.  I am glad to see there is hope for better things, even amongst the worst of the worst.

I originally thought Stolus was supposed to be Satan himself.  I guess not.

They did improve Millie's design, ever so slightly.  They made her more curvy and cute too.
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic

Admittedly, that was good.  I just hate their cussing and how vulgar, gross their conversations can get.  But I love seeing their animation.

Fargo is worth a watch for sure.  It's very..... different.

Though i am curious how it will translate to other languages and cultures.  There are things only American's would understand in terms of geographic differences among people.  But overall, I think it's a great film.
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: timmelon on 2021-01-08 08:49:40
It’s funny how when some kid show have references to adult movies, there is an adult show which have references to a kid movie ;D. And I see some common things between Fargo and this topic’s subject — some scenes with graphic violence and bad language are not so nessessary, and making them PG-rated will not kill the main message. But of course, some signature scenes need to be left untouched, so it’s really impossible to lower the age rating. Well, you can apply some censorship to the graphic/language scenes, but you can do this in a way which didn’t really hide anything (https://i.piccy.info/i9/899e085f193f67da2dc6d09ac97df23d/1608523125/52356/1410444/CensorShadow.jpg), making the scene even funnier ;D.
There are things only American's would understand in terms of geographic differences among people.
I think the main lesson is international ;D. And today if you don’t understand something, there is an Internet.

UPD:
Oh, and they made a trailer (available only for registered users) for 2021 HB Season, featuring some new characters (?):
(http://i.piccy.info/i9/b8e1a8ebc19d2f88a930a86c0218fcd5/1610123737/98617/1412690/HBClouds.jpg) (http://i.piccy.info/i9/b8e1a8ebc19d2f88a930a86c0218fcd5/1610123737/98617/1412690/HBClouds.jpg)
I wonder why the trailer is 18+ and the actual episodes are not? Of course, that trailer contains the farewell to 2020 in usual HH/HB manner, but it’s only one word ;D.

That was the worst episode yet.  Senseless killing and no one solved anything.  That was honestly a stupid episode.

Good job by the people who worked on it though.  But by far the worst episode in the series. 

Loona or whatever attacked the boss guy and they never made up or anything.  It just sort of happened then he seemed fine with it. Meh.
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic

Same here... I really wish Vivziepop didn't make literally every single character she writes a complete asshole. It's even worse in Hazbin Hotel

I really despise so many characters in this show...

Thank you both.  Every single character is absolutely horrible.  They are in no way good or decent.  It's a shame because the team seems to have a good grasp on story and some world building, but when everything and every character they make has to be some "Edgy," adult humoured, horrible characters, it's very off-putting.  I don't want swearing and sex jokes every two seconds.  They can't go a second without it.  I think they think that makes it funny or "Adult."  Well you can be funny and provide adult stories without doing that.

Every character is a jerk (I guess that is how Hell works) and she seems to have an obsession with the occult, hell, demons, and Satan.  I guess that all sort of makes sense considering that seems to be the majority of the content she makes...

I can't agree more with you all.  These shows are pretty horrible.  Nothing good or positive.  Purely negative vibes and negativity comes from them.  You get out what you put in, and if you put in this kind of content in your life... your going to be a very unhappy and negative person.

Despite the creators saying it's for adults, it's actually for teens who just discovered adult humor and can't get enough of it. And they're eating it up, hence its popularity.
When sex jokes and bad words will be stopped to call an adult thing, this popularity can decline miserably ;D. It’s dirty humor, not adult one. Same with other things which was marked as adult ones — which made them a forbidden fruit.
And... Saying about adults it’s just a precaution. The disclaimers like that are primarily made to prevent a quick deletion from Youtube.
The show just needs to be handed off to industry professional writers. They'd probably be able to make something great of it, because the show has some potential, imo.
Well, we still don’t know what’s happening with Hotel. As that series is not will be shown until a first season will be completed, maybe it will get more help from professionals.

Now I do think that the show has some great things going for it. The character designs (physical designs, not personality-wise) are amazing, and world building is pretty great.

There is a lot of good and a lot of bad with the show.  You can see it's lows very evidently when they happen.  They have a lot to be proud of creating what they did and still making episodes! Wow, that's crazy!  But if they can remove the nonstop horrible language and sex jokes, I believe the show would be a lot better.  They got world building and character development going, which is good, but too much weighing it all down.  The negative turns off a lot of viewers.

It was almost four month gap! Finally, episode 6 is here.
Spoiler (hover to show)
We can clearly see that crazy family from Episode 1 can be more effective in demon fighting than a bunch of people with outdated Edo-era weapons. ;D Also, we can see a musical trip which includes a «The Phantom...» shout-out plus very «Dazed and Confused»-like (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w772GXG5LnE&t=36s) tune later, and a heavy action scene — I hear some train with new Loona fanart incoming ;D.
I can say I don’t very like too well-timed rescue at the end (although I admit that Stolas’ entry is awesome. Can he watch through IMP members eyes which allowed him to appear in the right moment?), but I love how Moxie orders coffee, using his speech as a weapon on a Pinkie-grade level (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJJrOZB1dMY&t=20s).

So... is this the best episode so far?
P.S. No forum-related content yet, but Moxie, Blitzo and Loona had used their nostrils here.

OK, the season one finale is here, and it will be a two-parter.
I see in this part they have concentrated on characters’ feelings, so since there is no HB episodes without any action scenes, I’m expecting to see a big fight in Part Two ;D.
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Rainberry on 2022-01-11 00:05:05
The Season finale was really good and they have a lot set up for the new season.  I found the ending with the crying, the scene of Blitz's Mom, pretty touching and sad.  It all came down to embarassment.  Stollis even turned away from Blitz in the awesome musical scene.  Very good episode in my mind.  But they are going to narrow themselves in a box with whatever happens to Stollis, Bltiz, and Stollis' family.

I didn't watch it, but I keep hearing about some drama.  I know she's like super woke and a social justice warrior, but I don't really care or know much about the show's creator.  I've read off-hand a lot of negative things about how she treats people and is bias towards people to purposely push her values and motives.  Honestly I don't care because I don't consume her content. 

Anyways...

They crammed a lot of character intros and told the Biblical beginnings of time incorrectly, but I think it was an okay beginning.  Music was good, but some of a lot of jokes didn't land.  But it was an okay first episode.  Singing was the highlight. Animation was good, but sure bounced around a lot. 
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Soda on 2024-01-23 12:30:25
I watched the first episode.  It was alright, but the characters seemed kinda meh.  Lot's of pacing issues in my opinion. 
Title: Re: Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss Discussion Topic
Post by: Silverwing on 2024-02-03 23:30:56
So I watched Amazon's HH series.  I liked it, but I cannot help but feel this would be so much better if it didn't have so much pointless swearing. It is like every other word, as if the writers aren't smart enough or can think of actual words to use.  So they just swear for no reason.  Music is great, animation is great.  This series clearly doesn't follow the Bible's true teachings as many things are distorted including how the angels don't know how to get to Heaven. 

So if you view it as pure fiction, not being related to Biblical tellings of Heaven and Hell, and Adam being similar to the real Adam and Eve, but not really, it's much easier to swallow.  They did good with the whole story, but it just felt so rushed. Never did we really relax with the characters except for maybe the first two episodes.

Spoiler (hover to show)
I felt real emotion for Adam and Lute in the finale.  His smile and her emotion towards him really hit, despite all we knew of him.

Curious to see what happens in season 2.

Welp.  I guess I better watch this new Amazon Prime series. Should I rewatch the pilot to rejog my memory?

I would rewatch it.  You do not have to though as the new series sort of reminds people about some stuff, but not all.

I hate this show.  Lol!  But I watched it and gotta say my favorite character is the worst of all.  Adam and Lute.  I won't give away spoilers, I just wish we saw more of them and gave them more time to develop.  Clearly something is there.

As for the music, it's great!  The pacing is weird.  They keep introducing new characters and then we spend no time with them to see who they are or why we should follow them. I hate the pointless constant swearing.  It's as if they are so immature, they can't think of real words to say.  Don't like how they are painting Heaven as some fake facade.  But overall, for an animated cartoon by the drama queen herself, I must say I am enjoying it.  Redemption is a good message to push, even though the whole setting and how redemption is given is flawed.

Thank you for the answers everyone. I did restart with the pilot and I am up to episode six so far.  It's... moving very fast.  The best parts are the music and animation.  Character's are all super detailed, which is great, but it can make scenes get very crowded and busy.  There is no such thing as a background character in terms of design.  Haha!

I think the show really is limited with it's short seasons too.  They want to do music, they want to do world lore, but it's all crammed into 8 episodes.  That isn't enough time.

Plus you have all the drama with the creator Vivian herself.  She has an agenda for sure and if she keeps so much baggage with her, other companies might not want to work with her again in the future.  She seems to be very difficult to work with based on tons of different sources.  But who knows what is true and what isn't.

My girl Lute in her most intense moment.  Different languages doing it. English was best here.

That was entertaining. Some had more emotion and vocal range than others.

That smile by Adam at the end though... wow.  Something was there.  Was he seeing Lute or was he seeing true peace?  I wish this series had more time to develop these two.

Seems fitting a comment for this show.  :nervoussmile:
