@AutomatonType2B My theory is that because Viz has said he is part Creole, when he was alive only using his voice was the only way he could be in show business. Being mixed race if people knew his race he wouldn't be allowed on radio. You can even argue the elk sound he makes when Vaggie records him is a reference to him being shot. Possibly due to persecution.
@@w98 There are times where the word just fits, like when someone online just says how they want to do a genocide on minorities or something like that
The fact that he goes from looking like a deer to looking like a wendigo when enraged is such a cool design choice. Explains why he hangs out in cannibal town too
That's exactly the wendigo shtick. They're cannibals, either posessed or twisted into deer-esque monsters that hunt and devour people who get lost in the woods.@@MAXIMUMPOWER42
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SAYS IT, PEOPLE ARE LIKE "Alastor never truley smiles!" HE ALWAYS TRULEY SMILES EXCEPT WHEN HES ANGRY, SAD OR BORED, U CAN TELL HES HAVING FUN BY HIS EYESS
@@silverink1824 yes when I first found out I was ace I was incredibly shocked but then i thought back and realized the signs have been there I just didn't pick up on them yet
Alastor was born long before the term existed. He doesn't care to keep up with most trends and does his own thing, so he doesn't know what asexual means to get the reference
i love the moments when he drops his showman voice, you only really hear it during his laugh in the end of the pilot and when he laughs at the end of the episode where vox tries spying on alastor
Y’know, something that gets me: Alastor said he saw Charlie’s little fight against Katie Killjoy at the “picture show,” yet he hates television & likely dislikes movies/movie theatres.
@@LFanimes333but… WHY, though. Lemme remind you, I believe there was once partnership between Alastor & Vox, and the former was even offered to join, but he very much declined (source: Stayed Gone, Alastor’s part. “And here’s the sugar on the cream: He asked ME to join his team. I said “No” & now he’s pissy. That’s the tea”). Unless Alastor said that to get a rise outta Vox, I firmly believe Alastor would hate, and therefore have a disdain for, anything having to do with television. Remember when he (albeit poorly) tried to advertise the hotel Charlie was running? He insisted on radio, which is (and I quote) “The PROPER medium to express oneself. But YOU insisted on *this…* noisy picture-box advertisement,” unquote.
@@AlastorAltruistGaming the TV was airing in a public area (through the window of RADIO HACKS) where he was walking by. I believe normally he wouldn't care, but given that it was Lucifer's daughter promo-ing her redemption idea, he continued watching to find out more.
Love that Alastor was back in the Overlord meeting for like, two minutes, and yet it's written all over her face that she's incredibly done with his theatrics.
I was just kind of appalled that she would let herself into other people's hotel rooms without knocking first LOL. He could have been doing literally anything in there.
I love from 4:28 to 4:32 we have Sir Pentious looking like the only one who is legitimately concerned with one of the gang smack talking the literal King of Hell.
His little “squeaks in alarm” at 6:30 is just the best. (He squeaks other times, like when Rosie spins him, and he hugs Mimzy, but it’s the fact that he registered the attack enough to squeak but not react due to his micstaff being broken that makes it for me. XD)
Alastor is basically what happens when you play a Warlock in D&D but with Charisma as the highest stat. Dude is charm incarnate and we love him for that.
Sir pentious: thank… you… for letting your guard down! Haha! *rips coat* Alastor: *Wendigo noises or whatever* Sir pentious: *it was at this moment that he knew, he fucked up*
1:27 I like to think that secretly Alastair is hiding the fact that that was very traumatizing for him almost losing his mother due to jambalaya that’s what I like to think
5:17 I really wanna think that Nifty is Alastor's daughter because she has the same hair, about the same skin tone, same evil grin, and the same twisted minds.
I'm pretty sure Alastor didn't forget sir pentious... i am pretty sure he just liked messing with him... because he makes it so easy... i am also surprised that no one give sir pentious credit for harrassing Alastor even during the time that no one knew where he was... even tracking him to the hotel before even vox saw him in the city
Pentious is an idiot which makes people forget that he's actually pretty capable. That death ray had Adam say "well that couldve been bad" and his eggs are sneaky enough to spy on overlords
@@jaidynbell7885 Pentious is pretty naive true. Though what you said does also emphasize something i've been thinking about. i am pretty sure Alastor saw pentious as no threat at all. in fact i am pretty sure he viewed Pentious as 'free entertainment' he all but pats him on the head and says to come back with a better idea next time after toying with him for a bit and breaking his toys. Which comes to my point. i am pretty sure Alastor was sorta toying with Adam in his fight too though alot less playfully, i think he was purposefully riling him up for his amusement, and did not expect that raw lash out of raw power which caught him off guard. which is the only reason i think Adam was able to injure him in the first place... i'm rambling eventually i am actually going to write down all my theories including on Alastor's unusual power base and what not...
Sir Pentious... Secretly on level with Adam as being one of the only two people on record to have fought Alastor and lived. Dude took out some of the most powerful overlords in Hell systematically and kept them alive enough to scream over radio. I'd say "Jesus", but that'd be blasphemy.
Are we going to ignore the fact, that Alastor is 2.1 meters tall (7 feet)? He's tall, illegally tall. Edit: I get it Angel is taller but Alastor is a 7 foot tall psychopath, while Angel is well… Angel
Design wise he's a Wendigo. It's a type of demon associated with causing cannibalism. Hence why he eats deer and is friends with the literal cannibals.
“Pleasure to be meeting you” He’s always so polite whether he is barging in unannounced, insulting you to your face or “about to end your fucking life!!”
I love the character designs and how they subvert the expectations. The literal predator animal themed characters are the ones being fucked with and the prey themed ones are the powerful characters
The part where he proclaims "Let the slaughter begin." then proceeds to conjure up a dark force field was the moment of the series that I knew why Alastor was my favorite: he embodies the supervillain warlock archetype so well but pulls it off in such campy fashion (almost similar to Palpatine of Star Wars) while inverted in that Alastor is on the side of the good guys. I can only give high praise for Amir Talai's performance since it reminds me a lot of Ian McDiarmid's stage presence.
It actually makes sense for Lucifer to immediately dislike Alastor since he is the literal embodiment of Pride, and Alastor is just as prideful as he is. Their song is literally just them showing off and trying to impress Charlie, so it all fits in the narrative.
They should have also put "Come place your faith at her inexperienced hands, as she tries to work through her daddy issues BY Fixing youu!! 💅" 😂 that was a great insult 😂
Yeah I was worried. He was literally coughing blood and struggling to get up! I thought Adam was gonna finish him but I also knew Alastor wouldn’t die.
to be fair an elk is a type of deer. in fact it's the second largest of all deer species, the largest is the moose. So, maybe Alastor has more elk traits as well as deer, too. Just a thought.
Okay his room goes hard aint gonna lie. Also i wonder if bc hes on a leash that it also limits his powers for certain things and thats why he was so confident he could defeat Adam but his powers got cut off for some reason? Idk i could be wrong but somth felt off to me about it.
5:35 (Alastor) "Adam! First man, next to die." (Adam) "Who the f*ck are you?!" (Alastor) "Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, quite a pleasure. I'm about to *end your F**KING life!!!"* HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 😂😂😂❤ 6:20 (Adam) "I'm gonna to wipe that sh*t eating grin off your face! Cause radio is *f**king DEAD!"* (Alastor/ *non static!)* "What just happened?! *Fff*ck."*
I like to think Nifty met Al and ordered/demanded a soul contract because she liked him that much. Meanwhile Alastor is probably like, "That's not how this usually works," but it's another soul in the bank so he obliged.
My friend introduced me to vivziepop’s channel and the hazbin hotel pilot in 2020-21. We were watching together when Alastor appeared on the screen with his creepy radio face, and I was like “shit this is gonna be in my nightmares” then we looked at each other and laughed. 😂 Eventually after that I started watching helluva boss - and I have to say, no demon in the hellaverse is scarier than Alastor.
Good thing about him is that he is ace. That means he will be the character we love without being destroyed by love and feelings like most bad guys in any media.
Whoever had the idea of doing his eyes like an old 30's or 40s radio volume dials👌 & it might be the voice but alastor screams the grittiness & musk/ Sass of the late 20s- approx mid 40s
Alastor sounds so much scarier in the pilot. With the radio effect and creepy personality, I love it. I feel like the main show butchered his voice a bit.
