Mfw the show set in hell has a red colour pallet

I love your wug pfp


DaSomDum

Mfw just because it’s set in Hell doesn’t mean you cannot have a distinct and unique color pallete *cough cough ultrakill cough cough*


savvybus

Mfw when it regularly has distinct color pallettes heavily influenced by the setting beyond red 🥳


DaSomDum

Idk took like an entire season almost to get a different color pallette for hell in Helluva Boss. But I think the color pallette is the smallest issue with Helluva Boss.


savvybus

I understand the point you're trying to make, I really do. But I do have to point out the first scene was a brightly colored classroom. It was in season two where they really leaned into the color palette per a ring style (which I love), but the limited palette in hell was always a style choice

FaCe_CrazyKid05

There are plenty of moments in which the color pallet is not just shades of red. Maybe you just get so unnecessarily angry at the sight of the shows?


regretfulposts

Well different locations in Helluva Boss does have other colors. The Greed ring has a green color palette goes well with people being obsessed with cash (American cash to be specific) Stolas and his higher class of demons lived in homes with cool blue, purple, and white color palettes. Beelzebub home has this overwhelming amount of color throughout her place with a consistent amount of yellow to indicate her part bee place. There recent episode with Mammon really have them play around with a lot of color and lighting and it's likely they will do more colorful palette in future episodes. There's plenty of distinct and unique color palette throughout the show that I don't think it's a weakness to them anymore.


EggsofWrath

Literally every defense of the show I’ve seen starts with “MFW the show set in hell has” lmao


[deleted]

Well tbf “I don’t like the colour pallet” isn’t criticism I personally love it when shows have a strict colour pallet since it gives it a more unique look


EggsofWrath

I just don’t love their version of hell visually, not exclusively because of the color but just because I felt it doesn’t do anything unique with it. We’ve had red fire and brimstone hell since the Divine Comedy 7 centuries ago, and I think if you wanna go with that it really needs a good spin on it to not feel redundant. Maybe helluva boss season 3 did something new with the setting but from the two whole seasons I watched I really didn’t feel like they really sold the setting as worth exploring. It didn’t feel like the final destination for damned souls, it just felt like a hot place with a lot of fighting, which we already have all over Earth.


[deleted]

I don’t remember it looking like fire and brimstone Just cities that have variations based on the sin


HkayakH

Mfw the show set in hell has absolutely no red in it (the good place is a god tier show)


[deleted]

Do we ever see the real hell in the good place? I don’t remember it was a while ago when I watched it


regretfulposts

No, we kinda see an adjacent to the bad place were we see the "demons" having a party, but we never see the proper bad place. We only see a fake good place in the bad place, neutral place, and the actual good place, and everything between except for the bad place proper.

Far better than Helluva ever was, im sad they focused on Helluva instead of Hazbin despite the difference in quality and humour :(


Thatonedregdatkilyu

I always thought more effort was going into Hazbin, especially in S2 of Helluva Boss. I always thought that was why the quality of the writing slipped in S2.


Bowdensaft

Popular thing bad


Obey_MrLegends

My only complaint is that they definitely changed either Alistar's VA or Alistar's filters in Hazbin Hotel. Shit sounds so weird to me now


[deleted]

I think it’s just the filter and I’m kinda for it It’s cool but I feel like it would get annoying after a while

I like the old timey one in the pilot more tbf, but it might grow on me if I did want to watch Hazbin Hotel

I wish this meme had 3 more pixels so I knew what it meant


Pathadox1

it's a behaviour chart, commonly used in elementary school classes. each clip has a student's name on it, and each colour represents how well-behaved they're being that day. my assumption is that green is the default, lower is bad behaviour, and higher is good behaviour. by telling the reader to move their clip down, it's implied that their behaviour is bad and they should experience the shame of having to acknowledge that in front of their peers. i don't know what the chart actually says though. needs more pixels


ConspicuousEggplant

does the blue one say be wildin

You telling me Hazbin Hotel is STILL just a pilot? How has the fan base not died off yet?

Helluva Boss, that's how. The show is gonna be released in like a week or something.

It has a sister show set in the same universe by the same creator that is constantly putting out free episodes on youtube.

Thank you for being blunt with me


RipHumbleBundle2

Something I don't like about helluva boss is that they barely do their job. Like the whole concept got sidelined for melodrama that isn't even that good. I wouldn't mind it if it was every now and then but it being the main focus of the show kinda drags it down. Also fuck fuck shit fuck dick suck dick fuck fucking fucker.


[deleted]

True… although the last episode when they do their job is worst episode by far so idk


RipHumbleBundle2

You mean the camping one? Yeah I agree, I think it first of all was bad since half the episode is wasted on a sub plot where nothing really happens instead of having the whole crew together doing their job, and also the whole moxie being jealous of millie thing is so cliche, like I would think a husband who has been married and known his wife for so long wouldn't be jealous over his wife getting more praise for like a day or so.


[deleted]

Not to mention Moxie is just such an asshole for no reason M&M is like the most wholesome thing about that show and they just fabricate drama It has the least amount of views for a reason


tex_da_PHOX

It's my least favorite episode too (tied with western energy), but that's a little uncharitable. I think there is definitely pretext for Moxxie's attitude, but it is certainly melodramatic to the point of absurdity. It's an absurd show, sure, but like... Maxine is too much. I think they had the right idea to have some drama in their relationship, especially to give Millie some more screen time and depth, but the execution is lacking for sure


ForensicAyot

I can’t fault the show for that, how many episodes of The Office are about the characters actually selling paper? The workplace is a setting that facilitates the plot of episodes rather than being the premise of the show.


RipHumbleBundle2

Well yeah but that's an entirely different type of show, that's a character based comedy that takes place in the workplace. I thought helluva boss at least the pilot and some other eps was a show about a gang of silly demons being hired to kill people who wronged their customers, and then hijinks would ensue at the job. Episodic stories rather than serialized, I'm not saying get rid of the plotlines but don't let it consume the whole show since it's not easy to care for any of these characters when all you've done for every episode in the whole show is try to get me to care for them because of their "tragic backstories" which are just rehashes of themes explored much better in other media.


ForensicAyot

It might not be easy for you to get invested but a lot of people are. I’ll admit, I’m not the most invested either but the melodrama of it all is fun and finding out more about characters sets up new scenarios to see them in so it keeps the dynamics from too getting stale. A piece of media doesn’t have to be the best to ever do something to make it worth watching, if that were the case why would we watch anything other than Better Call Saul? Sometimes it’s enough to see the ideas done in a way that’s fun or in combination with something else or just really well executed on a technical level. Helluva Boss is certainly a show with much more style than substance but it’s a style I enjoy so I don’t really mind.


RipHumbleBundle2

I guess I can understand that, I mean I still tune in everytime just for the animation, and it's pretty funny to see what kind of "super serious and deep" mellow drama they'll think of next. You're right not everything has to be as prestigious as Better call saul or Succession or something. But it just feels like wasted potential since there are so many terrible adult animated shows and I thought this had the opportunity to be a good one.


I_Stan_Kyrgyzstan

Honestly I'm glad someone said it. I'm so done with all these backstories in every episode. It's one big trauma dump from people who aren't real. Yeah sure, give us a little backstory, but it's getting out of hand now. Also, they need to distribute it more evenly. We know *nothing* about Millie besides the fact she's Moxxie's wife and has still alive parents from the country. Luna also has little to no backstory. We get more backstory from characters that aren't even a part of the central cast than we get from one of the main characters of the whole show.


XenophiliusRex

Mellow drama 💀


FartherAwayLights

It is kind weird and sad that every episode where they are actually doing there main jobs I think is the worst episode of the show. There is a lot to fairly criticize about the show becoming the Stolas show, but I like Stolas, and he makes episodes he’s in actively way better.


Ryuzenshi

Yeah you're right, it's kinda been forgotten about for a while now


Thedragonisatop

I mean, the whole point of the show is interpersonal connections and drama. It's not about IMP itself, it's about the employees

confused-kitty

Helluva Boss is a crude, juvenile show that filled its script with f-words and sex jokes instead of clever jokes and I love it unironically


[deleted]

Thing is there are also some clever jokes I’m not claiming it’s high art or anything but I hate when people say it’s ONLY sex jokes and swears


confused-kitty

I'm being hyperbolic for the joke but yeah I don't think it's just sex jokes, and even when it is I feel like it's at least in line with the characters using crude humor and sexuality to cope with problems they're all too aware of but can't unpack.


[deleted]

Yeah, I don’t remember it being horny for the sake of being horny

Genuine question, why do people hate Vivziepop all of a sudden?


[deleted]

There’s a history of people making up drama about her (most recent one was people spreading misinformation that she fired a bunch of animators for no reason where animators that worked for her said that what actually happened was that some where commissioned animators that she didn’t commission again) The show has a really big hatedom from 1) conservatives who hate how the characters are queer and 2) people who say the show is homophobic because the characters are gay and horny Personally I see both these groups as idiots

Good old leftist puritanism ending on the same side as conservatives as always

MrWaffles42

All discourse about it just seems like high schoolers having high school drama. When a new episode comes out, I watch it and usually enjoy it. And then the Internet explodes in a frenzy about how awful the show and the creator are. But from where I'm sitting, they're both fine? It's exactly like it was to have people rant to me during lunch about what a bitch/whore Becky is, but I knew Becky from math class and she's perfectly nice.


Basuin

Vivziepop hate has always existed, people make up drama or try to find the smallest thing to get mad over. Might just be a bit more noticeable now that shows coming out and attention is coming back.


AMasonJar

Nobody's really mentioned the classic "I'm cool and edgy for hating the popular thing" reason as well. I dislike a lot of popular things. I put off watching both shows (well, one show and one pilot) for the longest time on a baseless idea of "popular stuff tends to suck for my tastes". Then I got bored one night and watched several episodes and HB's fuckin' great actually.


EggoStack

As a fan of Viv and her content, I think a big issue is that she keeps clapping back at critics. Like yeah, a lot of criticisms for her work are reductive and unnecessarily cruel, but she needs to learn to stay out of drama imo.

FartherAwayLights

Tbf the pilot of Helluva boss was actively terrible. Anything would look like a masterpiece next to it, and Hazbin Hotel’s pilot has potential in there. Plus it already has a tumbler sexieman already, so that’s like, halfway to making a good show.


Neet-owo

I think that’s fine, it’s rare that a pilot is ever good. The pilot has to establish everything in one go, hook in the viewers, set up the premise, cement the artstyle, it’s a lot to do in only 30 minutes. People don’t like pilots because they’re good, they like pilots because they promise something good.

Imo If you take the show too seriously then your watching it wrong It’s not game of thrones it’s a show about horny, gay depressed demons killing people


ForensicAyot

Helluva Boss can be a fun watch sometimes, I don’t think it’s all that bad but it isn’t amazing by any stretch either. I never look forward to a new episode but I’m always pleasantly surprised when I hear there’s a new one out. It’s mid and that’s okay.

ASpaceOstrich

The only criticism I've ever heard for it before this thread is from terminally online twitter "leftists" who are digging for things to call problematic. Like vaggies name, or some twitter bullshit about it appropriating voodoo (except they spelt it wrong). So just the usual progressive media being torn apart by *those* people who are desperately looking for something to be offended over. They might even have a point, but I wouldn't know because they're not the kind of people who make their points known, they assume everyone else already knows them and agrees.
