ONE ALASTOR TO RULE THEM ALL!? HAZBIN HOTEL 1X2 (Radio Killed the Video Star) Reaction/Discussion 

TWO BANGER SONGS (I'm honestly torn which is my fav, an energetic and bombastic one vs one really sweet and heartfelt lol), and a great episode overall! I think I appreciate this episode a lot more on re-watch and all the details and emotional nuance, I love it. Full uncut watch along reactions to ALL EPISODES (yes, including the finale) are up in Patreon! I really CAN'T wait to share the rest of the journey over here with the edited versions of the reactions, this show FREAKING ROCKS! What are your thoughts on this episode? Thank you so much for watching!

"Stayed Gone" is such a fantastic song. It perfectly establishes Vox and Alastor's dynamic. The fact that Vox was so hot-headed and felt the need to assert dominance in the first place, while Alastor stays collected and nonchalant already suggests who's superior. But the way Alastor just casually tunes in, hits Vox back even harder, and completely airs out his dirty laundry just proves it. And then there's the end, with Alastor giving his own warning and showing his demon form. It's awesome, creepy, and lets us know for certain he's got a hidden agenda. And it's going to change everything. A perfect theatrical number. Also, I'm so glad Vivienne didn't go the obvious, overused story route of having Charlie believe Sir Pentious when he got caught and kicking out Angel Dust or whatever for the sake of drama. And you know the next episode would've been wasted with Angel trying to clear his name. I can't stand that misunderstanding trope.

Your editing makes this 10 times funnier. This is so good.

Valentino is an absolute monster. But by God, his dynamic with Vox is hilarious.

Fun bit with Vox: he also has subtle voice modulation at times when he's upset or angry, similar to how Alastor has (and sometimes not-so-subtle, as when he yells at Valentino). And the 'blood' from Vox's lips, when he's agitated, is similar to the vertical parallel bars you get on modern flat-screen TVs when their screen is broken.

To rewatch this show along with the small detail comments you add on your reactions is one of the best things bro.

I love that this episode not only shows that Charlie's dream of redeeming sinners might just be possible, but also hints at the limitations of it. On the one hand you have sir pentious who is actually willing to change, and then you have the Vees who are very unlikely to change. Also I absolutely love how petty Alastor is, the most powerful overlord in Hell will kill you if you tear his already ruined jacket. He and Vox had better get another duet in season 2, that whole sequence was just priceless

You may be right, Charlie's optimism could be her fatal flaw. She's also been a bit sheltered, you can tell, so she doesn't always get what other people are going through. Great reaction. Your editing always makes things fun.

Alastor is such a great character, I love the atmosphere he brings (the mystery, the creepiness, the chaos, etc.) but he is also so iconic (especially bc of his humor). (He is probably my favorite character, but I'm biased because he is aroace too 😂) Such a contrast with how wholesome and postive Charlie is! (love her too, she's so cute)

Also fun little fact, whenever Val is mad or irritated-- he makes moth squeaks 👀 AND whenever Alastor’s horns grow (like when Sir Pent tore on Al’s coat or when Al sang the last verse during ‘Stayed Gone’ you can hear an Elk’s scream that almost sounds like a radio glitch effect )

I love the way pentious pronounces dear, "d'yah", its so endearing.

I love how they show that for all Vox’s power and control that he’s actually pretty insecure about his position as soon as it’s told to him Al is back. Then Al goes and picks at one of his deeper insecurities ‘that he’s powerless without the other V’s’ because Al knows Vox’s weaknesses which lead him to loosing his signal! How Vox’s technology may be more ‘advanced’ but still runs on RADIO waves is just chef’s kiss! 😩👌 It’s just so good how they show all the bright flashing screens and stuff Vox uses to control Hell’s citizens also are because he’s hella overcompensating to seem more confident and powerful when he’s actually insecure, and of course Al calls him out on it. XD It’s so fucking funny how he warns Val not to do something stupid like trying to go to the hotel. Then as soon as Val tells him Al is back man’s immediately gets so petty and insecure in his position he tries to publicly diss Al on live broadcast only for Al to throw all his insecurities in his face causing him to overload! He’s constantly 30 seconds from a mental breakdown! XD

Ahh man, I am looking forward to seeing your reactions to the rest of the season! It's so fun to see the pure delight and concern on your face when going through these!!

Valentino is the best example of amazing writing for a horrible character. The VA really hits it out of the park. And can we all agree that both Angel and Pentious are precious beans that must be protected at all costs?

My top 5 favorite songs from season 1 1. Poison 2. Loser, Baby 3. More Than Anything 4. Hell’s Greatest Dad 5. Stayed Gone

Honestly every time we get Vaggie just being completely smitten with Charlie I get the biggest smile on my face. She loves her dorky, theater nerd girlfriend so much. Seriously, get you someone who loves and supports you like Vaggie loves and supports Charlie. Alastor just being completely unphased by his and Vox’s rivalry is the best thing. He knows he outclasses Vox.

AHAAAHHHHHH I LOVE THE EDITING SP MUCHHHHH (can't wait to see you react to more episodes‼️)

alastor is so creepy but so endearing at the same time

We love Sssir Pentiousss in thisss houssse (or Hotel) 🐍🥰

Rarely has there been a character has charmed me as quickly and completely as Charlie. Every moment she's on screen, she just fills me with happiness - which is no guarantee for an overwhelmingly positive character, those can become annoying, but she never is. Just an absolute delight.

9:06 fitting reference as Vox's first voice actor choice was Mark Hamil

Hey man, love ur reactions to this, subbed! Your editing style is really funny and gives a lot of insight into your thought process which I appreciate. Can't wait to see your reaction to ep 4 :)

I love your edits so very much! It is so fun to watch! It adds to the reaction and I love how you catch so much. There's several things that you've popped in with the edits that I didn't even catch after watching all the episodes. So good! My favorite example from this one was the commentary on the different colors, particularly during Stayed Gone. That blue was rash and red was calm. Great point! I have to say, I am ridiculously excited to see your reactions to episodes 4, 6, and 8, in particular. Cannot wait!

Sir Pentious is my second favorite character. I didn’t think Id like him much, but I’ve fallen in love with his character throughout the season.

Love your reaction!!! So many good details!! I’m going to have to rewatch to get all of them. And just waiting on some of your commentary…

I'm super excited for this episode ❤

Your reactions are so so so fun to watch, your editing is hilarious and super insightful and I'm looking forward to more reactions! Keep up the good work :D

Another comment to say that yet again, I LOVED your reaction and all the editing! 👏👏👏 THIS IS CINEMA!

9:52 DAMMIT how'd he know??!!1?!!

Love you reactions, you're so invested in the characters and story and your editing is so funny and it makes them just a treat to watch. Keep up the awesome work!

Spoilers for anyone who isn't ahead. 2:28 - 2:30 Something to note is you can actually see hellborn in the crowd and throughout the season, the hellhound with red eyes and Imps with the red skin and black & white horns. 2:30 You can also spot reoccurring background characters even from the pilot like the Sinner with one eye, red skin, and 2 incurved horns was at the news station and will be at Val's session with AngelDust. 3:16 It's a easy to miss detail but a sign behind Vox mentions a love potion created between Valentino and Velvette, that is so messed up. Valentino is a moth (you can often hear him squeak like a moth) as he produces pheromones in his saliva which coated in smoke tinted red, it's likely this is where they get the ingredient for the potion and what is being often used on AngelDust, Val is definitely my most hated fictional character. 3:57 It's unlikely there are Sinners old enough to been part of the witch trials as most Sinners don't live long. The oldest we know of (by this episode) is Sir Pentious who is said to of died in 1888 but most are likely under 200 years old. Also Charlie though not a Sinner is even older having an portrait as an adult in the year 1876 (note, both dates are not brought up in the show but things like streams so they may no longer be canon but good to keep in mind). 3:52 - 4:10 Velvette says her model has to "pull herself back" together when referencing the torn body parts and this helps show the crux of hell's problems, when being torn limb from limb _well painful_ is only an inconvenience so why be better. 4:27 - 4:35 You skipped over "kitty" here, well not important they are an interesting character (also has blue interior to show Vox's control over Val's personal assistant). 8:58 I think Vox is angry because of how much power potential Charlie has and how that puts him in danger. To put it in perspective there's 2 cast of demons between Sinners and Charlie who could beat even Alastor so to make a deal with her would make him (nearly) the most powerful in hell. 9:15 As you can see with Fatnuggets hell has its own animals and they are born then live and die in hell, however I'm guessing Vox built those sharks. 20:25 Definitely deer but also Wendigo like we saw this episode as he is a cannibal.

Alastor: "Thanks for another forgettable experience" ... That's what she said !

Iam sick and this video realy help. So did you know whats is gonna make me better when this video.... MURDER DRONERS episode 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 💜🖤💛

I love this snake boy

My top 5 favorite characters 1. Sir Pentious 2. Alastor 3. Angel Dust 4. Husk 5. Charlie

Omg I can't wait for you to listen to velvets song It is a BOP please continue this series 💕

"Is Vox as strong as he proports, or is it based on his support? He'd be powerless without the other Vees!" Honestly, we've only really gotten like... 1 good scene with her, and I'm half convinced both Valentino and Vox would be powerless without Velvet. This whole episode is showing the weaknesses of the Vees, but Velvet is kinda just there chilling and doing her own thing.

12:53 well... My name's Maryna *clap clap😅 I like to draw *clap clap And after this year ending, I'll free to grow . *clap clap 🎉

god I am trying _so_ hard not to spoil anything rn ^^' All I'm gonna say is you're more right than you might be thinking, and also if you think this episode + Addict was dark in regards to Angel's story, you are _not_ ready for episode 4 ^^'

Engagement for the engagement gods.

this is too underrated aaaa

I love your reactions, i love the editing, this is so fun, tho sometimes i have to pause a lot to read all notes, dut i don't mind!! I really love all the additional thoughts you add. My fav is Alastor, i don't know why, i didn't catch the moment when i realised that lol, but i really like him! I'll be waiting for your next reactions (oh shit it's been a month since the last update, are you okay there??)

Yea.. atmosphere is trully charming here. Deeper & deeper in love with all of them❤❤❤😊 You know what I'm thinking? Like.. wgen souls would get theur redemption , will they go to Heaven? But if they do, I don't think they'll gonna be..save up there 😕

HOLY YAY!! I'M SO EXCITED

Love the LOTR reference in the title! Yes! Alastor is supreme!

Alastor the Radio Wendigo

7:00 😂😂😂 hell yea. Songs are everything herr

Great Video !

14:36. Fuuuge I really expecting your video for s1e4... For a love of god. That's heartbreakfull ... & it seems mine still has pieces to work with 💔

I really thought that Vaggie or Alastor would be my favorite character when I saw the pilot, but having seen the full show I am BLOWN away with how much I love Charlie. Leagues above the rest, to me, though Vaggie is still a close second. I know my sister (who also loves and is obsessed with this show) favors Angel Dust, and he seems like a pretty big fan favorite, but for me it's Charlie all the way down baby

Hello, love your videos. You will keep watching TOH? i really love your way of analysis

7:41 nah this must be a episode 5 reference

So it's happened before? Has someone made a compilation of every time Alastor breaks character?
