THEATRE NERD REACTS TO HELLUVA BOSS - EPISODE 5 - THE HARVEST MOON FESTIVAL 

Blitz is such a horse-fanboy.

​@@JonathanGhost42 "Fanboy" yeahhh

​@@BlueSodaPop_Mr Hands

​@@JonathanGhost42he's into horses in more than one way

@@ythegameritaisthebest i beg your pardon... 😲😲

He also has a picture of the horse on his official instagram 😂

Well, she's not completely wrong. Blitz does seem to have some attraction to Striker, even if that attraction was jumpstarted by "oh fuck he has a cool horse". Spoiler for episodes 6 both seasons below It is noteworthy that we see Striker in Blitzo's hallucination. The other characters in that scene are his transactional fuckbuddy, his ex girlfriend, and his childhood crush (judging by the "for Fizz's eyes only ❤️" letter he was holding in the flashback). Striker is very out of place in the hallucination if Blitz doesn't have any attraction to him. Especially with the theme of craving/fearing intimacy.

@@helenanilsson5666 Moxxie's also in that scene, but we know Blitz thinks he's a hottie 😂

Right, Blitz0 was in love with the horse. lol

​@@helenanilsson5666 I don't think he's out of place in that scene at all, considering his pitch at the end of this episode and Blitz's... complicated relationship with Stolas.

Slight Spoiler for episode 8 The guy that convinces Blitz to stay at the party also has black horns

​@@Unknown_13404and he has a shirt that says "voxflix and chill" Wich is a very cool detail

@@Unknown_13404yes and one of the girl imps in that episode is mtf based on her horns too

That's not how you tell. Male imps have white hair and thick white stripes on their horns,. Female imps have black hair and thin white stripes on their horns, they are NOT solid black. Sallie May has black hair with a little patch of white so it's obvious she dyed it black and the stripes on her horns are thick

​@@Ashurman666So you're saying there's two ways to tell, and and even though I mentioned one right, I'm still wrong. Good to know.😒

I think it's really cute that in actual demonology Stolas is essentially a pacifist. Sweet soft lil astronomy owl boy

​@@SaiyanSerenityVwell i wouldn't say pacifist since he commands 26 legions of demons but he doesn't seem to get his own hands dirty or bear any ill will to people

@@lazulazu2467 lol right right fair enough, this is still hell after all!

I came here to say the same thing! It's the fact that I heard about HOAB having a character named "Stolas" that got me interested in checking all of VivziPop's stuff!

@@lazulazu2467 For reference, that is about half the size of the Imperial Roman Army at its peak. So, yeah not an Owl to mess with. Though his father King Paimon is said to have 200 legions at his calling, so I feel like hell isn't the most peaceful of places to be raising a family.

But that never really happened, which is a shame

@@_Emrakull Blitz might've been killed by Striker if Moxxie never intervened so it kinda did.

@@andrewsigler7437 either that or Blitz would have had to figure something out after saying he was in on the deal

For striker, He's also a shark ish thing bc he looks like chaz.

@@TheRizzlantie Striker is more rattlesnake, he looks nothing like Chaz

I was thinking maybe Striker is half incubus, since everyone seems to find him hot

Striker is half Loanshark. He’s got the target eyes that all Loansharks have, he has the turned up shark nose rather than the imp’s flat face, his horns are shaped like the Loanshark head fins, and he has extra fins on his much thicker than average tail.

Why are you saying Millie is bi? So far we haven't seen anything in the show to suggest she isn't straight, and it must not have been confirmed outside the show because its not on wiki.

NORMAN REEDUS IS STRIKER?! Helluva Boss has to be the one series in youtube where famous voice actors or even just actors appear out of nowhere and play their roles spectacularly. How the heck did Viv get these people

@@bored_potatohe was only the voice for this episode. I don’t know why he wasn’t in later ones. Not that the other VA is bad, ofc. They’re both good. I just really enjoy Norman Reedus as Striker. His voice adds a gruffness to the character that I love.

​@@icemagiciangh3268I thknk it was just timing. He was able to do this episode and offered because he loved the creators work. He did kill the role tho

And is voiced by Morgana Ignis, who is transgender herself, and both are so freaking gorgeous. Sallie Mae is 100% my wifu

She can also cover up murders well. That's hot.

And same strip pattern

It’s Sallie Mae Like the American student loan company

@@tahraethestoryteller6079The voice actress, Morgana Ignis, has spelled it as “Sallie May”. I think it’s acceptable.

No way the soundtrack has fr been promised?!? That’s so exciting

I noticed the same thing LOL

Would be on brand for him XD

Yeah It was 90% the horse. Lol

That IS giving away too much, we didn't know this when this episode aired so technically you're spoiling

Good rule of thumb, did you and the community know this fact specifically when this episode first came out? If not you’re probably already giving too much away

yeha really coud've just stopped at"one of moxxie's parents is from wrath but he grew up somewhere else"

Spoilers

This is already too much. Why do people not understand that this IS spoiling.

Blitz later as Stolas is hooting upsetly giving him the silent treatment for ignoring him all week and not taking him on cute cowboy dates: Stolas I SWEAR I was looking at the horse! We talked about this, you can't expect me to not heart eyes a horse!

He's so extra 😂

herbs, plants, precious stones.. astronomy.. am I Stolas?

Yeah, Moxie could easily shoot this hog in the eyes, which clearly have no shell. But I doubt that Millie's parents would approve of such a move. So it's a lose-lose situation.

The last bit isn't true from what we've seen. Charlie worries in the HH pilot about making a deal, Vaggie tell her not to make one, Lucifer specifically raised her not to take shit from other demons seemingly tied to the notion of deals given context, Charlie of course does make a deal with Alastor in HH for something other than her soul while it is also clearly stated she is at least assumed to have a soul and to be able to "sell" said soul by both Vaggie and Alastor. Alastor has been an Overlord for upwards of 70 years, he'd probably say it outright if he knew Hellborns didn't have souls to sell. Besides "selling your soul" seems to refer specifically to just agreeing to long term servitude in line with the terms of an agreed upon contract, which a literal metaphysical soul isn't really necessary for. Presumably the nebulous unknown whatever that happens to Sinners when they die in hell is the same thing that happens to hellborns, except maybe the redemption possibility and even then, we don't know for sure. _Personally_ I like to headcanon anyone who dies in hell gets reincarnated as a hellborn and just nobody knows because memory retention isn't a common thing, so anybody claiming to remember a past life is just considered crazy, and demons believing in it is just waved off as a way to cope with the finite nature of life and death. There's no evidence for that other than them not knowing what happens for sure in universe, I just think it'd be super neat and cute and sad.

@@Lanoira13Unfortunately for your point the crew have stated in the past that hellborn can't make soul deals because they have no human soul. Charlie is only called hellborn as a technicality because that's where she was physically born but she isn't actually one of them, she even bleeds red like the Sinners not black like the hellborn.

​@@Gaterman I did a quick google and I couldn't find a source for that being confirmed, just fans speculating. Could you provide one? Even assuming it is true they confirmed that, I'm willing to call BS. They've also claimed Sinners "can't" have children for the reasoning "it would be crazy if they could and hell is a punishment", and yet Lilith is supposedly Charlie's birth mother, despite being a Sinner. If anything I'd be inclined to say there are probably rules forbidding hellborns making deals intended to protect them from Sinners/Overlords taking advantage of them (or affecting Hell more broadly outside Pride), but Charlie is high enough in the hierarchy she can disregard those rules as do as she wishes with her own life. It would be pretty absurd if Sinners could not only have kids, but their kids have human souls, so they have to probably magically keep Sinners from having kids to keep innocent HUMAN souls from being born in hell, and they AREN'T using that as evidence the system is fucked up. Lilith couldn't have had her while alive because we see Charlie as a baby and Sinners can't age, and she's clearly a demon. If Lilith or another Sinner didn't have a part in creating her, then that just throws away the one reason she COULD technically be Sinner adjacent. It still stands that the only part of deals that seemingly has ANYTHING to do with souls, is the inherent magical ability to jerk the signer around on a spectral chain and maybe magically force them to abide by the terms of the deal. So yeah, maybe someone of a Hellborn Species couldn't do all that, again hard maybe, but they could still MAKE a deal by the same terms as Sinners... they would just then have the freedom to flee and break the deal, which just lends all the more to my whole "if that's the case it's probably a legal thing to protect them" point. Side note just because it's less important, I couldn't find any confirmation that Charlie is supposed to intentionally canonically have red blood either. She's supposedly bleeding in the HH Finale, but we never explicitly see wounds. We also see what seem to be loansharks in the show, and though seeming to be relatively identical to Hellborn loansharks in appearance and occupation, they bleed red too. (Edit: There's also an imp getting stabbed in Alastor's commercial and the imp is still bleeding red.) So I'm tempted to think maybe (now probably) the HH team just didn't want to deal with Hellborn blood in general. Again even if she does have red blood, the argument above is my response, but somehow I feel like if Charlie wasn't literally Hellborn, Heaven would've/should use that to claim she wasn't exempt from Exterminations since she's technically a Sinner.

@@Lanoira13Claims like that are from the old streams and unfortunately some of them aren't even viewable anymore, the one about children definitely came from a old stream were Viv said it was a additional punishment. Lilith having Charlie was also said in the same stream where Sinners can't have kids implying even way back then that Lilith and Charlie were special in some way, considering Lilith was sent to hell and not killed she may not actually be a Sinner or Lucifer helped make her an exception to the Sinner's infertility. For the blood apparently those sharks and hounds are Sinners not hellborn because their little horns which was a really dumb decision, even the Imp horns and similar looking horns are mostly on Sinners too (I'm pretty sure there's only like 1 hound and 3 Imps in the show). Recently someone on Twitter was discussing the cannibals and if they were hellborn, someone who works on the show said they bleed red because they're Sinners and Viv liked this comment indicating blood is still a valid detail in Hazbin hotel. Also red blood only appears on Charlie after she confronts Adam showing that it is indeed her red blood since he bleeds gold. Well I said Charlie is not really a hellborn she definitely isn't a Sinner either. Sinners are human souls who died and were sent to hell (which Charlie and maybe Lilith are not) but hellborn just means being born in hell which Charlie does fall under and why she counts under the legal definition for the extermination even if she is her own special thing, a nephilim.

The only reason Blitzo is able to use the grimiore is because Stolas is allowing him to use it in secret. If Stolas were to die, Blitzo would lose his intermediary for using the grimiore, as the Ars Goetia family would definitely retrieve it and would definitely not allow him to use it.

@@ZazzilasArden Hmm, fair

I’m pretty sure that Stolas technically doesn’t own the grimoire. It’s given to him, almost assigned to him, by his father, for the specific duties he has. And just a guess, Octavia wouldn’t necessarily inherit it, either. That’s why he really, really, REALLY shouldn’t loan it out to anyone.

I hat to be that guy, but it's Striker with an I.

it would explain a lot actually...

Good to know that i'm not the only one who think he is asexual

Not enough characters are ace or coded ace anywhere, in any media. It would be nice to see one that wasn’t a villain, but I’ll take what I can get. So far our possibilities are Striker, another character who pops up much later, and Alastor from Hazbin, and Vivziepop is unusually good with LGBTQ+ representation, so that’s kinda sad.

She's actually in the old Hazbin pilot, as are her daughters (and...most of the overlords actually, rosie, the dinosaur one, zestial, the vees, you see pretty much all of them in the opening sequence. (carmilla is the one who throws open some curtains after charlie's end of purge fireworks, and her daughters are cleaning up rosie's....dead husband? a few moments later as she's crossing out his name on her boutique's sign) None of them are referred to by name, but they do appear on screen all the same.

@@bryanmoberg8408 The daughters are even collecting Angelic weapons.

vivzie has been teasing s2e8 with little clips on social media too, so by then we'll probably have another episode or two, so long as she's not too busy working on season 2 of hazbin (which she's said is actually pretty deep into production already)

And botany!

I did

ayoo

@@flo9429nah nah they have a point

@@elgood148 exactly

Save a horse.. ride a cowboy (I'd impregnate striker)

yep, it kinda drove me nuts while watching it, since it seemed the obvious solution. And like, sure moxxie knows more about them as a firearms expert, but he lives in pride too, so you'd think other people in the pride ring would know beyond JUST Carmilla.

It’s Mae with an ‘e’ not a ‘y’

@@tahraethestoryteller6079The voice actor has spelled it with a ‘y’.

I’ve seen it spelled both ways. However, if you look at the end credits of who voiced the characters they spell her name Sallie May

Probably because it costs a lot of money to keep his voice lol. Famous actors aren't cheap!

He was super expensive and he wasalso busy with walking dead during the time of the production and recording for Western energy

That doesn't necessarily mean she's wrong, it's a cool connection that might end up being something! Overlords & sinners are both more powerful than imps, and Striker has a real axe to grind against the leadership of Hell for reasons we don't know yet. It would be neat if Helluva and Hazbin tied together in that somehow. (Not sure how the logistics of that would work out between Vivzie and A24 though)
