I agree up until the most recent episode, where he should give me two million dollars for that accent.

Alex plays Fizz in Helluva

(And is also Broadway’s own Beetlejuice)

Incidentally, the Teen Titans Go episode with BJ rules because it’s Brightman voicing him, but he’s written as kind of a synthesis of movie, musical, and cartoon.

Goddamn banger of an episode. Every new episode of HB just makes me wanna rewatch like at least half the series again immediately.

Hazbin Hotel is a SAG-AFTRA production under A24, so it had to be union actors.

It’s pronounced “Helluva” and it’s Blitz

Prime mixes up their releases but will generally do a multi-episode premier followed by weekly episodes. In Hazbin's case, it's going to be episodes 1 through 4 dropping on the 19th, then two more episodes drop each week thereafter.

Nicki Minaj voiced Sugilite in Steven Universe, who was then silent in any subsequent appearances.

The last episode aired was "Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special" so we're not done with Season 2 yet.

A24 has its own merch store, they might be tailoring some stuff for it.

I forget, was the whole purge thing alluded to at all in the original pilot or was that just something they added when it went to series?

We just rewatched it because I had forgotten a ton of what the pilot actually set up; it takes place the day after the purge which is why Sir Pentious is making his move to claim turf vacated by all the recently exterminated souls.

12 episodes probably would've been ideal, especially if they could use at least two of them to re-do the pilot and maybe adapt those prequel comics that I didn't even know were a thing until they were just posted, then another two to spread out the existing material and let some characters and plot beats breathe. I'm terminally online so "oh, you need to read these two comics AND watch a pilot on YouTube to get the full story" isn't a huge ask overall, but any kind of ask like that will inevitably end up turning off some people who don't know or don't care and just end up feeling lost when trying to check out episode one of the Brand New Thing.

I think season one of HB is a bit more scattershot yeah, but when you set up the premise of "standalone adventures into the human world to kill them folks" you've gotta do a few episodes like that before you go off script and are just following the characters' lives.

See also: how often Planet Express actually does deliveries as Futurama goes on.

Go back and rewatch Helluva Boss and watch Blitz very carefully the entire time when there are horses around, when there are horse pictures and drawings in the backgrounds, when people are dressed as horses in incriminating photographs being tossed around by helicopter rotors, etc.

It's a LOT.

As someone with a name that is constantly misspelled even in written communication, I honestly just appreciate the verisimilitude of a character needing to explain something important to them but inconsequential to everyone else over and over again to the point of it practically just becoming a verbal tic.

I keep seeing YouTube recommendations for Hazbin song compilations or just Hell's Greatest Dad that very specifically emphasize "WITHOUT Mimzy!!" and I just want to know who hurt these people.

I mean he does this bullshit like eight times a week.

Also very cool and related is an interview or three that Billy West has given where he studied Tuvan throat singing in order to do Popeye properly.

A gag that has stuck with me my entire life was watching the syndicated dub of Samurai Pizza Cats, where a mother and child are standing in front of an untranslated sign. "Mommy, what does that sign say?" "How should I know? It's all in Japanese!"

yeah. i remember thinking of buying this book about undertale and translation, the book was basicaly about how they translated undertale into japanese and how basicaly all the jokes are different because audiance stuff. I am sorta finally dipping my toe into anime at 33, so i find it sorta interesting.

It's probably the Legends of Localization book which, yeah, I really want to read. I read the LoL Earthbound website before he started collecting these as actual books and it was fantastic so I keep meaning to pick up these three (there is also one for Legend of Zelda).

Patrick Page, John Waters, and Harvey Guillen is a goddamn triple threat for the guest stars in the rest of the season.
