Helluva Boss REWATCH Episode 3+4

Very late to the party on this one, but hope you'll still manage to read my comment! Ep 3: -Verosika is drinking Beelzejuice, a drink created by Beelzebub (aka Queen Bee), the Deadly Sin of the Ring of Gluttony. We're introduced to her and we see a comeback of Beezlejuice in episode 8 "Queen Bee". In Hell, it seems to be a simple drink, however, on Earth, it mutates animals in giant Kaiju. -Yes, you heard it right! Shitty horse-riding lessons. Remember? Blitz loves horses! We don't exactly know why yet, just like we don't know why Lucifer loves ducks as much, but it's their bizarre fascination, and a kink in Blitz's case. -Yes and no. When all of us, you included, watched Helluva on YouTube, we didn't know Loona was Blitz's daughter up until this point, only that he was overprotective and had a very clingy affection towards her. However, when people now watch the show on Prime, they do know that because the new canon pilot, Mission Zero, specifically addresses it. -Fun fact: the "Dagon's Juice" shop is a reference to Dagon, an immortal titanic sea monster created by H. P. Lovecraft in his book of the same name, very fitting considering the giant fish Kaiju. If you're unfamiliar, Lovecraft is the creator of the genre "Cosmic Horror." He influenced writers like Stephen King (It/Pennywise the killer clown is a cosmic entity), and I'm gonna stop there because it's a deep rabbit hole. Ep 4 -The drawing on the board represents the defeat of RoboFizz, he gets eaten by the dragon mascot in Loo Loo Land. It's a very easy to miss moment, as it's in the background of Octavia and Stolas. -If you notice, the Hell version of Lyle Lipton has a piano keyboard for teeth, that's because he died crushed by a piano. -Adriana Margarita Rodriguez Hernandez was the mother of an animator on the show, Adolfo Rodriguez. Rest in peace. Vivienne does do interviews, but who actually reaches out to or responds to YouTubers' requests to have a chat about their job are many members of her crew. Even one of the two composers, Sam Haft, gladly does it, so you could try and reach him out, it's worth the shot!

-I agree with you about the phantoms! Gerard Butler has always been my favorite haha. -Moxie's drunk moment in episode 3 is one of my favorites in the whole series! It makes me laugh every single time haha -Also, funny fact you might not know. Both the yellow lamb cherub who gets banished, and the deer cherub who does the banishing were voiced by Vivienne Medrano! -The credit at the end of episode 4 for Adriana Margarita Rodriguez Hernandez is for the mother of one of the animators, Adolfo Rodriguez

Fun fact: loopty goopty from C.H.E.R.U.B.S. is voiced by Brandon rogers who voices blitzo.

Yo TIM • So you said micheal crawford isnt the sexiest, i would argue Antonio Banderas is the sexiest. • if youre looking for a new show to watch after this rewatch, i HIGHLY recommend CENTAURWORLD on netflix. It has 2+ songs an episode, with Charlie Morningstar's voice actor as the main lead. She is given tons of songs and it fills that silly/absurdist humor that Hazbin/Helluva boss provides. This is a link to one of my favorite tracks in the show, it doesnt give any spoilers really so its safe to watch. youtube.com/watch?v=EU-0hGOmMI4&list=RDEU-0hGOmMI4&start_radio=1

Been out gigging with my band this weekend so not getting to this until now. I kind of think at this point, the show didn't yet know quite what it wanted to be. While I'm pretty sure the major arcs were already planned out (and I believe the voice lines for the whole season had mostly been recorded before they started animating it and releasing episodes), these early episodes, other than Loo Loo Land, are heavy on the gags and the violence and less plot-centred. It was still a workplace comedy and less of a romance/drama. That said, they do introduce characters that will be heavily plot relevant later. We're already setting up Apology Tour by introducing Verosika, Vortex becomes important for Loona's development and for the end of the season, and the Cherubs return in Full Moon. Also, while the Cherubs episode doesn't have much depth, it does have quite a bit of world building. Btw, you talked about how cool Vortex's voice is, and that's because he's voiced by James Monroe Iglehart, who you'll recall voices Asmodeus and also Zestial in Hazbin Hotel. On that same note, Loopty who gives them the mission in Cherubs is voiced by Brandon Rogers who plays Blitz and Katie Killjoy (and is also a writer and co-creator on Helluva Boss). You may have noticed that in this version the C-word wasn't censored, which it is on YouTube. Spindlehorse managed to convince YouTube not to age restrict the episodes in spite of their adult content, but the trade-off was no C-words and no depictions of genitalia. Amazon, on the other hand, doesn't care about that, so the only things that are censored are done so for comedic effect (like Stolas's dirty talk on the phone).

Verosika's VA Cristina Vee is also a singer in her own right

Episode 3 is the first time we heard about Blitz’s sister, Barbie: Verosika says about the rehab being for sad looser "your sister says hi", so we know that Blitz’s sister is or was in rehab. That's important for what we saw later in season 2 and in the short "Barbie bad day", and I suspect for season 3 also

The name crossed out on Verosika's tattoo is Blitzø. It's more clear in the episode Apology tour. In the Cherub episode you can see a circus poster of Blitz and his sister on the wall of his office when Loopty arrives. It's never mentioned, just there as foreshadowing.

•Blitzø adopting Loona is mentioned in mission zero. •Wally Wackford is a recurring character that shows up in the background of almost every episode (except the 1st and 3rd... maybe 6th?) •"please tell me you got that "insurance thing" " is a call back to the original pilot. The gang take a human kid to a hospital when he was shot "by mistake" and the doctor says "he's stable but he's going to need surgery. Now what kind of insurance do you freaks have?" Blitzø: The fuck is insurance? *cuts to the gang +kid still on the gurney getting thrown out a high rise window
