Why EVERYONE Feels Sorry For The Devil In Cuphead Season 3

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

This is a bit awkward because I said at the end of my Season 2 video that I'd cover episodes for Season 2, and I am here, saying that for Season 3. Well, there's no delicate way to go about it: I will cover all three seasons, but put a priority on a few episodes of season 3 due to it's relevancy. Also 🎮 My Discord - alphajay.show/discord

[@rtishere1910]

A Very Devil Christmas (or whatever it was called) is the best episode in this season in my opinion.

[@inactive893]

I kinda agree with you. Season 1a will always be my favourite, as I didn't know what to expect. It was cute, funny, and awesome! Just like Ed Edd n Eddy. Season 1b, at first I was mixed as Mugman's crazy moments through me off, as I saw him as the Double D of the show, but I ended up okay with it, nobody's perfect, and yeah I really didn't like "Say Cheese" either. I felt like everyone in that episode was turned into a one-dimensional gag, where there was no voice of reason. Season 1c was my least favourite, don't get me wrong, some episodes were great, and felt just like some episodes from season 1a, maybe 'cause for me, Cuphead and Mugman weren't in it as much and their dynamic is just amazing. As much as I love The Devil, there was a tad too much of him for me. The last two episodes felt like tonal whiplash for me. And I now realised thanks to you that Cuphead didn't really grow as much. Mugman honestly was the best part for me, I feel like he grows more than Cuphead even if he (Mugman) doesn't have much to grow from, just like Double D, well maybe he grew in confidence. Though that line about Cuphead would be in hell if he was dead was 1. a bit too dark, 2. a bit harsh for Mugsy to say, and 3. a bit uncalled for as Cuphead hasn't really done anything that's that evil, honestly, Eddy before Big Picture Show would fit hell a bit more than Cuphead. Great, now I wanna see Cuphead go through an Eddy arc😭 I just wanna crossover these two shows😂

It makes sense to me that Cuphead didn't go through some major character arc where he learns not to be reckless. This is technically all one season of the show. I don't think most shows have their main character go through such a big, character changing arc in just the first season. Plus, this show is a comedy above anything else. It's always going to go for the joke rather than something profound or angsty.

In my opinion, I loved "A Very Devil Christmas," even if I felt Santa at the end cheated the Devil from his train. That's all he wanted: a toy train and Santa didn't deliver on that, but Henchman did. I didn't really care for ep 11-I felt like that ep was a bit lacking, but I think it's how the season treated the Devil and Chalice that made it feel lacking.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

The ending for A Very Devil Christmas really made that episode

[@PhantomFerret]

@Alpha Jay Show in my opinion at least, if the Devil hadn't gotten his train one way or another at the end, I would have seen that ep as the worst of season three. Look, that train is the Devil's driving force to get on Santa's nice list, and the Devil's driving force is the reason us-the viewer-can understand his reasoning for wanting to get on the nice list, and as a result, we want to see him get that choo choo train-his driving force-in the end.

[@memoofjacoboarbenzjuanarev9724]

@@PhantomFerret I'm on the other end. You guys are confusing a classic trope with bad writing. They are doing the Tom and Jerry trope. They are Jerry while the devil is Tom. In the end the devil is evil and all he wants to take souls. He's mad that the cups keep slipping away and can't collect their souls when he was planning to cheat them the devil was cheating everyone and these two boys and now chalice stopped him.

She started out a street scammer but meeting cup head and mug man made her a better person I see it as inuyasha he was complaining in a early season how their crew was growing and kagome says "so what?

[@normadgarmez7026]

Same here. Not to mention the devil and King Dice. Cuphead and Mugman, uh try again

[@ShadowLinkxMaster]

The Devil practically had a catchphrase in the show, which was “ _I’m_ the Devil!” Multiple times he becomes self-aware that he was out of character with what he was supposed to do, and has to constantly remind himself about it. I think he said it more times in season 3, as he gets flung down the deep end; being constantly made out as this joke of a goofball. And that’s really how I felt about The Devil up until the last episode, where I had to remind myself he _is_ the Devil. When he forced Chalice to go through the process of death all over again by watching herself disintegrate until she was nothing but dust and bones. That _really_ reminded me just who the gang was dealing with. Quite a punch.

[@TMSonicFan47]

In all honesty, I liked the ending of Season 3's premiere. Cuphead's daring impulsiveness is still a part of him, but from what I can remember, he's shown to be less selfish and more willing to help others than in Season 2. As for the Devil; yeah, he took a lot of L's. But he was still shown to be a threat. It's just that the cups kept managing to find ways to stay on equal ground with him. Which I thought was cool. (But yeah, he got screwed over in the Christmas special. Henchman's the best.)

One of the best things this season is that King Dice appeared in two episodes. Even though he only had a small role in the season finale

[@MoonPhantom]

Well, it's a bit funny because. I really did wish there was more devil in season 2. The Devil was just always the favorite part of the show for me, and I wanted more of him. But perhaps using him sparingly in the first two seasons IS what you need. If you use him more, you have to make him loose more. Cause he can never win. And it feels like maybe, the writers felt like I did. Devil was their favorite part, so by the end they wrote him in more. But then out of necessity he had to loose all the time cause he's the antagonist and we run into that problem. That of course begs the question... What's more important to me? More Devil so I just have more of him. Or less Devil so his fewer appearances can be more effective. I have to admit, I just enjoy the devils antics so much that I can't dislike the more screen time, even if it come at a cost. I just find him more entertaining than Cuphead himself. Also Stickler honestly made me laugh out loud several times this final season... "Excuse me!" and I just go. "Pfff." So yeah.... I just enjoy the devil more than Cuphead himself.

[@ching-jungyang62]

I agree with you. In the game, the Devil is a mere existence of true evil that you need to defeat to save the world. So beating the Devil is totaly a joyable moment for the players. The Cuphead Show Devil is really fun to watch, I admit it, but the more you see him the more you realize he is being treated like a punching bag for comical moments. He constantly got foiled by the cup brothers, his henchmen failed to finish his job, he is always held back by Stickler's rules of Hell, and it really baffles me when he start doing good deeds, even giving up his desired toy for Cuphead! (The Devil can do good? COME ON!) He's still a threat in the show, but how can you take him seriously as an enemy that needs to be eliminated for good? Do you want an example of how to handle that character well? Bill Cypher from Gravity Falls. Bill is the main antagonist of the show. He's a demon, he's evil, he's powerful, he's flamboyant, he also has style and a sense of humor. Although we love to see him on screen, there is always an unsettling feeling we get from this character. We know how dangerous and intimidating he can be, and are aware nothing good will happen when making deals with him. Because Bill made such a strong impression, you'd be surprised he didn't have much screentime in the entire show. When seeing Bill got defeated in the finale, it was really satisfying, you feel how relieved the protagonists are, you're happy to see everything is back in order, and even though you kinda feel empty seeing Bill gone you're still glad how the story ends this way. How should we feel about the Devil? Well, according to the game he didn't end up well. Should he still be destroyed even he has a chance of redemption? Ironically, the Devil can't and shouldn't be redeemed because the show would be over. So what's the point of making an episode telling us the Devil is starting to show he has good in him? I really think the show mistook the point on character development. Stop showing us what a lovable person the bad guy is, give us more reason why we should care about the show's heroes..

[@spectradusker4305]

The friendship between Devil and Henchman was what made season 3 my favorite

[@josephholt4736]

Season 3 was GREAT! It showed us more on Ms. Chalice's backstory, we saw more of Sally Stageplay as a character, The Devil appeared in more episodes this season than the other 2, and we saw King Dice make a comeback, who appeared in 2 episodes this season instead of just 1. Speaking of which, Netflix released a music video of the "Roll the Dice" song from the episode "Down & Out". And I gotta admit: Wayne Brady is a really good singer (as also proved by the number of episodes from Sofia the First that featured Wayne's character (Clover the Rabbit) singing).

My favorite episode in cup head season 3 is “A Very Devil Christmas.” Because I can see the Devil softer side of himself that he wanted the choo-choo for Christmas.

theory: maybe if there will be a season 4 the devil will be back for revenge. maybe these episodes were supposed to be a backstory for him. other wise, I'm hyped for season 4 if it ends up happenin'!

[@BatataJoey]

Viewing these episodes as one season does help it be more digestible imo

[@jeffisawesomer]

the main theme of season 2 is “Everyone Is Insane”

[@FigConsumer]

why is the devil getting it from behind in the thumbnail

[@andreas_gaming_24]

So glad you are back, and talking about Cuphead. hooray Great vid really, as always 🐼👍

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

Thank you so much!

[@laaalaaalelo]

Ngl ,when the henchman and the devil were going to the elevator after he lost to cuphead,the way they talked was really funny and cute by the devil side

[@froakietw]

I know he's the literal devil but damn, he couldn't get at least one good thing after all the losses he had, he couldn't get his toy train or just have a fun time dancing with Chalice (until Stickler ruined that for him) 😔

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

He was very much so a Woobie in this season

[@carlosdalefi90]

But he danced with chalice for weeks.

[@Shades-N-Braids]

A little irrelevant but my favorite joke in the show so far is Mugman knowing that Cuphead would not be dead and in heaven when the Devil was lying to him

[@lewisbaldwin4094]

Ms chalice’s origins actually shocked me I thought at first she was half ghost because of one her parents

[@cosmicspacething3474]

Eh, he kinda does it to himself most of the time. For example; In Roadkill it was his own policies that forced him to go get a soul, and he chooses to pretend to be a cat instead of doing the logical thing and just taking Elder Kettle hostage.

[@AJotasticGamer]

The Devil just wants to win but hes always beaten by his hubris or cups.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

Exactly

[@itsthejavavoid]

He may be the devil, but he deserves all the love ❤️ The end of his Christmas episode had me in literal tears it was so cute The father/son dynamic with henchman and devil is just the best

[@LowellLucasJr.]

I'm sad its over but it was a fantastic series! I hope it gets more but if it doesn't, I'm sure happy it went out with a bang! Love this show and franchise! ❤

[@hatcactusofficial]

0:57 there are AMONG US CHARACTERS IN HIS EYES

[@satiricwriter]

Game!Devil would've likeky tried to take over Christmas and torture Santa like a Krampus kind of thing. Easiest way to steal souls is pulling a Jack Skellington with a pinch of Oogie Boogie in it. Also I was a tad disappointed that he didn't seem to try and corrupt Mugman into a demon like in the Cuphead games Bad Ending. He had the oppertunity. But the writers like making the literal biblical devil sympathetic and relatable. In fact, this kind of change to the ruler of Hell is happening in a LOT of media. Netflix's Lucifer, (maybe) Hazbin Hotel, Cuphead Show The guys becoming more human but ironically he's not even close to being a mortal man. The Devil in the Cuphead Game is probably the only version that is actually "evil".

[@karylleamor6565]

When I first watch the season 3 episodes… I feel really sorry for devil, the episodes with him in them it really makes me feel really really sorry for him. And he is my favorite cuphead show character I mean really he really is.

[@toadette4x]

I enjoyed them all but season 2 has to be my favourite so far. I hope we'll get more Cuphead episodes regardless though ❤💙.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

Season 2 has one of my fav episodes, A High Seas Adventure

[@CormDaCrow]

I honestly love see the Devil lose so much. Purely because he's such a drama queen, and it's so funny to see his reactions to losing over and over

[@ShendonV]

Hopefully the series will be about how Cuphead’s obsession with danger gradually slows down as each episode goes on to the point where he’s tired of it and wants to resort to a normal life as opposed to just stopping completely at the end. At least with that we can still have all the bosses be prevalent in the show. Either that or the plot could just point out he has an addiction to danger and he’s trying his very best to quit after like a couple of seasons, recovering from any form of addiction such as gambling, drugs, or even just the most random things isn’t a linear path in general anyway.

[@shylar763]

I thought season 3 was really good, and I'd like to point out a huge problem I noticed with the devil is the fact he's about as reckless as Cuphead and doesn't exactly learn either. His main problem is the fact he likes making deals too much, which backfires on him, best example is the final episode of Season 3. So yeah I feel like the devil is about as reckless as Cuphead in a way and there's a reason he loses so much, he doesn't learn really either

[@ryanmarkel1298]

6:11 please don’t mention that ending from completing the mission, I don’t want to cry.

[@BurntJuice_1]

It would interesting if the Devil in S3 E1 used how Cuphead treated Mugman and how irresponsible he was, especially in S2 and use it against him. The Devil could manipulate Mugman into working with him by telling Mugman he will treat him better. Mugman can also look like how he did in the original game when you get the bad ending.

[@supersinger9000]

Yeah, I really thought they were setting up a humbling of Cuphead in that second season. It seemed almost obvious that it was going to go that way, and then it just....didn't. Cuphead still hasn't learned a damn thing, and, as much as I'm happy to see The Devil's Casino, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. The season premiere should've been a lot more heartfelt imo.

[@ItalysArtHouse]

I don't feel bad for the devil solely due to the fact that he kept calling the trident a pitchfork.

[@adamrathosky1441]

If they ever start another season that would be cool if they start it off like they game but instead of them fighting the “villains” they compromise with them or trick them into getting their soul contracts

[@kirtheweasel]

Season three finale feels like a prologue to the game... You know, Devil's Casino...

[@hubertberrum6242]

I feel bad for him more than I do for Stolas but hey both are high demons who rebelled against God

[@Cataclyscerator]

The further the show goes on...the more i feel bad for the Devil somehow

[@shadowofthenorthstar989]

i never knew there was a cuphead cartoon

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

Well its never too late to go see!

[@cosmicspacething3474]

Imo this season was definitely better than season 2

[@manoftheusajones5147]

It's because of Sticker's Rules.

[@andro_pheonix5593]

"walking around crying for hours and hours like a lost episode creepy pasta." suicide mouse reference?

[@draccqueen1770]

I think a goofy devil works well for this show, but I think he's kind of TOO goofy. That scene with him making the deal with Chalice is the only time he was, y'know. Acting like the DEVIL and not just a pouty child with too much power. Goofy devil works, but badass devil needs time to shine too.

[@mariofire3940]

Season 3 was perfect

[@turbotobi8770]

Why do I always binge watch good shows In two day’s 😂

[@Tom-pf9hg]

Honestly he was my favorite character even before the show, his attacks on the game were so mesmerizing, so seeing him getting bullied just hurt my soul, almost as much as the cat episode

[@o0OMaku]

i think the only reason Cuphead didn't get humbled or go through an arc or important change is cus he's been shown to immediately go the opposite direction with his character development every time that's close to happening

[@Abandonedchannel_Mysticpizza]

Everyone I thought I was an everyone until now

[@quilltedtulip]

As much as I wish that the Devil kept a bit more of his in game characteristics (at times its like they took the one moment in his fight of him crying and used that to build his character for the show) I feel like its also setting up the fact that he might just grow into that version of the Devil. Spoilers: Due to the Casino now being built, it seems like we might get a small retelling of the game itself but in the style of the show. Different characters and familiar faces filling slots from points in the game, which might be why we (so far and excluding Dice and Devil) have really only seen maybe three bosses from the game so far. This could also mean that with the help of Dice and now having the Casino, Devil could absolutely grow into a formidable villain who is taken seriously, it could be a huge challenge for the brothers to face and absolutely could be what causes Cuphead to have a bigger character development moment, same with Mugman. I really hope that's the case bc I love the Devil in both game and show, and so far out of everyone Dice seems to have the most in common so far with his in game counterpart, and would love to see on screen him and Devils chemistry that was in the game played into the show during the next few seasons.
