Sinners can't leave the pride ring but that doesn't stop anyone from advertising them in other rings. So the Angel Dust poster is acceptable.

[@eng-eq7xy]

Don't forget that Angel is described as a porn actor, and from the image used in the pilot during the Killjoy interview seems to be advertising a film "Well, OK!". There's no reason why media like that couldn't be shown on other rings, even if Angel himself cannot leave the ring of Pride. We also don't really know just what demon nobility is capable of in terms of moving sinners around the rings. For someone on the level of Asmodeus, if he wants a sinner to play with, I don't think there's much that could stop him.

[@elisonholace4033]

@@eng-eq7xy Lucifer has dominion over demons though since he's a fallen angel. So unless he allows it, assuming sinners going to other rings is physically possible, then the other demon princes can't do squat. I'm thinking the reason sinners are confined to the pride ring is to make exterminations easier. If i were Lucifer i certainly wouldn't want a bunch of executioners running through all 7 rings hunting hiding sinners when they could just get it done easy in pride.

[@cerberus2534]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Cerberus Syndrome- "Often seen in media where artists are expected to write a few short stories first to see how the public will react, and then start writing longer and more serious story arcs once the magazine/tv channel/company gives the go-ahead. It can also be intentional, with the lighter mood at the beginning allowing readers to meet and become attached to the characters before the story arcs with the dramatic elements begin." - TV Tropes

[@Grenadreams]

4:08 I've settled on an idea that Fizz sold himself to Mammon to gain his fame. A lot of people are saying he lost them in the same incident that gave blitz his facial scar, but I personally don't think so. When something is expensive, the phrase "it cost me an arm and a leg" usually comes up, and because Blitz called Fizz a sellout in episode 2, it starts to make sense of how desperate Fizz was for fame versus Blitz. He also took on a jester appearance to further look like the prince of greed, and not the imp we see in the pictures. I don't think Fizzarolli is his actual name either but merely a stage name. He said Moxxie had "no creative stage name whatsoever" and Blitz has never outright called Fizz by Fizzarolli.

[@heavymusicguy8227]

Alot of people, including me, agree with this statement. Fizz selling himself to Mammon, hiding his identity with a jester outfit and makeup and getting famous for hiding himself with all that.

If we’re going off of ‘it cost me an arm and a leg’, that explains Fizz’s robotic arms and legs. Though, it’s been shown that Fizz is the only imp with horns that bounce around. Going off of your theory, how plausible is it that his horns were part of the price/enhancements?

[@Grenadreams]

@@SapphireMan Possobly. I read in a comment on a different video that his horns may have been taken so he could pass more easily as a jester demon since jester demons don't seem to have horns unlike other imps. It could be that, or that mammon demanded them in exchange for his fame. Both are very plausible because we see he has imp horns as a child through the pictures on Blitz's phone.

About Fizzarolli (and Blitzo)... 2x01 establishes that they grew up together, and it is implied that there was some disaster where (supposedly) the circus burnt down, and Blitzo sustained his injuries. Fizzarolli's injuries were a lot more severe, making him a quadruple amputee with severe damage to his skin, and that's when his robotic limbs were created. Fizz went on to work for Asmodeus in the Lust ring, and Blitzo started to work for Verosika. Asmodeus seems to have started to market sex dolls modeled after Fizz, and Loo Loo Land probably got a custom-built one mirroring Fizzarolli's skills as a former clown and entertainer. Basically, Fizz is probably one of THE richest imps out there, which is mostly due to his affiliation with the prince of Lust.

[@harrypotterandthechamberis3]

So if someone doesn't have Instagram they're gonna miss character development (which let me say is very important considering this is a pretty short show).

[@KangarooMonkey]

Firstly, I completely disagree with your thoughts about treating the show seriously because it keeps throwing heavy scenes at its audience and expects them to care about the characters, Stolas and Octavia, and everything to do with Blitzo’s relationship with Moxxie, Luna and Stolas, along with his self worth issues, this show wants you to take it seriously and feel for it’s characters, so that’s what it should be judged as. On to the actual episode itself, I loved it, it’s by far my favourite episode of the series, it’s perfect, my only complaint isn’t about this episode, it’s about the previous episodes, Stolas only ever treated Blitzo as a sex toy but in this episode he’s suddenly in love with Blitzo, in the scene with him watching tv he relates to Gabrielle, despite the fact that he’s done nothing on (and according to Blitzo off) screen to try and make their relationship a thing, even after loosing his wife and kid (off screen) Blitzo is the one to ask Stolas out, instead of Blitzo asking him out, speaking of Blitzo; he has been shown to be disgusted by Stolas and only with him for the book, when Stolas hired IMP as bodyguards Blitzo was trying to keep it professionally the whole time, in the Harvest Moon Festival Blitzo says that he will only go if Stolas promises it’s not a sex thing, I understand that both of these instances are sexual, so even if Blitzo doesn’t want sex he still wants a relationship with him, but why would he want to have a relationship with him? The only personality trait Stolas has shown in front of Blitzo is lust, we aren’t given any reason for Blitzo to be interested in Stolas, it’s not even that he enjoys the sex, he’s downright horrified at listening to Stolas talk about what he wants to do, and in the beginning of episode 5 Blitzo looks bored like he’s doing a chore. I agree with you that this episode was perfect, I loved the characters interactions, the comedy was top shelf, despite having a few minutes of screen time Asmodeus is already my new favourite character, Veronica and Fizz returning was amazing, and the song about Blitzo and Stolas where they got torn down was just fantastic, even though I don’t like how the dominos were set up, the way they fell down was incredible and my favourite scene in the entire show. But that doesn’t change any of my criticism towards the previous episodes, unless the Cherubs appear in episode 8 then that episode was pointless to the narrative of this season, they’re probably going to come back next season but that’s not an excuse because they could’ve easily been established in the next season, and their episode could’ve been the one where Stolas’ wife leaves him.

I don’t personally care, but if the show wants to tell a serious story it’s fair game to point out actually flaws. And while not everything has to be on screen when it’s something major like Stolas’ family leaving him, it’s a little jarring that they just have that happen without us seeing it.

[@deniseluckert7849]

Okay.. but I love the fact that Asmodeus had screentime for like 7 minutes? And almost everyone (including me) loves him, so,that he became their favourite character (also me😂) and that with so little screentime. So I sure hope he will have a bigger role in Season 2/ or at least makes an appearance again.. if not they let their best character go to waste..

[@jilliancrawford7577]

Having Stolas and Blitz there while singing about the power of lust could easily be one hell of a free ad for Ozzie's and his ring of hell; even royalty will advertise my deadly sin! And who knows what other kinds of encouragement that could fuel for the ring and prince! It just seems like a situation he would get benefit from thanks to that whole fiasco even if their relationship has bad consequences.

[@fart1745]

1:26 Maybe because that was Moxxie’s hallucination, not Blitzo’s. A lot of these are reaches that can be easily explained if we apply common sense.

That Fizz isn't a robot, hence why he calls them "robo-mes" and says "we" have made a killing off of the robo-fizz from the theme park.

[@raymondgolan105]

This was a fantastic analysis rant. I feel like I have literally all the same criticisms and that people were overhyping the show before it got serious claiming that it was more than meets the eye. But again, I feel like these people just got lucky with this quote on quote "buildup" to an emotional episode... Because this show was basing everything on jokes prior to this with no hint that it was actually going to get serrious.

[@ShadowsofYesterday]

You know, I've just got a really different take from you on this series. You've said since the beginning that "They can't play things off as humorous and then have scenes where they act like it was serious all along." At one point, you even used the tired "You can't have your cake and eat it" line, and I was just left scratching my head and asking "Why not?" There are countless examples of other works of fiction that follow the same formula of presenting serious emotional developments in a humorous light, and then having select moments that just go full-throttle dramatic, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that formula. In fact, some of the best emotional scenes I can recall ever seeing were from comedy shows - Fry's dog growing old and dying in Futurama comes to mind, as well as the funeral scene from Scrubs (a show I didn't even watch and didn't much care for, but I saw that episode after the scene became a meme, and in its original context, it still punches me in the feels to this day). The show doesn't have to just be a one-trick pony, "HAHA MAKE WITH THE JOKES! WHY SO SERIOUS?!" Also, you talk about how the Goetia family has been portrayed as "HAHA FUNNY CHAOTIC FAMILY," but I really never got that vibe. Aside from a couple small scenes in the second episode (third if you count the pilot), they didn't go too hard with the drama at that time, so Octavia's frustration was played against Stolas' over-the-top antics throughout much of the episode, but I don't think that really made light of her feelings or the gravity of the situation. It just wasn't the focal point of the series yet. The series has slowly been building up the dramatic factors with episodes like 5 and 6, and now 7. Had Loo-Loo Land been episode 7 rather than episode 2, it probably would have had very different presentation and focused much more on the damaging effects of Stolas' adultery. You mentioned that the end of the Harvest Moon episode was played up as a joke, but I really didn't get that at all. To me, that scene felt like the first moment where the series really dug in its heels and decided to get "SERIOUS serious." Stella is now openly conspiring to have her husband assassinated while sitting directly across from him at the dinner table, such is her hatred, and the damage his infidelity had caused to his family. Octavia is sitting between them, listening to her music, blissfully oblivious to what's going on, but... does that really constitute a joke? At this point, it can be assumed she blasts her music loud to drown out her mother screaming at her father. Nothing about that scene, to me, says "HAHA FUNNY CHAOTIC FAMILY!" I just read it as "This is a very broken home." Mind you, my initial read of the series was that it was plain-and-simple just a comedic little mini-sitcom on the side while they work on Hazbin Hotel, and by the time the Harvest Moon episode came out, I was leery of the more serious direction the show seemed to be taking, because like you, I wanted it to just be a collection of self-contained little comedy shorts. While I would have liked to just have a fun little cartoon and leave it at that, they appear to be handling the series competently, so I have no real objection to what they're doing now aside from perhaps concern that it may interfere with production of Hazbin.

[@Nephalem2002]

Im wondering to myself if Blitz went to Ozzie’s; knowing that Asmodeus and Fizzarolli were going to be there and how they are towards couples.

[@bluebird1914]

Probably. I mean when Moxxie starts singing, the camera cuts back to Blitzø flinching when Moxxie says "I love you." Which could be interpreted as Blitzø thinking "Moxxie you fucking idiot, this is Ozzie's, Asmodeus and Fizz aren't going to let you get off talking like that."

[@claypigeon7063]

Based on his reaction to hearing Fizzarolli’s voiċe - “No fuckin’ way… not him!” - I get þe feeling þat, had Blitzo been aware þat Fizzarolli frequented Ozzie’s, he never would’ve… to put it lightly, ‘invited himself’ to join Millie and Moxxie on þeir date. As for Asmodeus… I’d assume Ozzie to be a well-known nickname for Asmodeus, considering þe club says “ASMODEUS” on þe building’s peak and “OZZIE’S” over þe entranċe.

I think the reason why Asmodeus knows so much about Stolas is that they are both part of the Ars Goetia. They are relatives, even if likely distant ones. As one of the Seven Deadly Sins and ruler of one seventh of Hell, Asmodeus would naturally need to be up to date when it comes to Hell's politics, especially if it concerns his family.

[@pinkapetdesigns]

About the last episode, in the trip that was all in Moxxies head. Blitzo has no idea about that song thing because he was in a different trip

8:09 In the shot where Blitzo enters the room and turns on the light The switch that gets flipped only appears after the door is opened, yet the plate on the wall is already with another switch in it. Then after the lights are on, the the switch and plate disappear. :) Just a minor little error!

[@inklingchild2499]

Also! Everyone misses this but I was hoping you'd see it. When Asmodeus is laying on the stage walk area, he makes the same movements as Angle, a call back to the Addict music video (this is mostly when he crossed his one leg over the other while laying down). Either that or it was coincidental, idk, I'm way too focused on angle most the time lol

[@ALunarLight]

Putting this out here as a theory osmodius Shame Stolas for all the things he gave up because he works for pride. Then glorifying something as the spirit of lust is just a stroke his own ego. Like even the people that live in pride are weak against lust. That lust is greater than pride. It would also makes sense with the way Stella acts when he cheats not only is it a slap to her and her status but it's also dangerous with his job.

[@Vee-naner]

Wait, you're telling me that Blitzo took a wholesome couple picture of Stolas sleeping alongside with him and this tiny detail comes all out of the blue to show us how Blitzo hurt himself more than he hurt Stolas saying that his relationship was nothing but purely sexual because he actually have feelings with Stolas. This episode had a season worth of details from their relationship that went so slightly and well managed that I'm not even complaining that it all happened in the span of 1 - 2 episodes only PLUS FIZZAROLLI HAS THE SAME MARK ON HIS FOREHEAD THAN BLITZO AND HIS (or their) FAMILY... WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?????

[@amfstudios8695]

In regards to how Stolas didn't hide it at the harvest moon festival, but it's important here, Sarcastic chorus put it best: Stolas doesn't care about what some country some country hicks say about him because any rumors they start can be silenced with money. But Asmodeus is his peer, someone on a similar level to him in influence. And since he's the ruler of the lust ring it's safe to say if Stolas has 'shut the fuck up' money. Than Ozzy has 'no, you shut shut fuck up' money. Once someone like a prince of hell learns about it, keeping it quiet isn't an option.

[@RandomGameCritic]

Interesting theory. But you'll never convince me that Viv and Brandon actually had that in mind when they wrote "The Harvest Moon Festival."

Something I just noticed: Moxxie probably said “marriage anniversary” instead of “wedding anniversary” because Moxxie and Millie never had a wedding, seeing as Millie was still surprised Moxxie was hiding the truth about his family in Season 2. OR Moxxie and Millie were too poor to afford one, I also just noticed neither of them are wearing rings. There’s a thousand different possible explanations as to why, but the idea of Moxxie and Millie not having a wedding is super interesting

Yeah I don't understand why Stolas was shamed for sleeping with Blitz when Blitz slept with Verosika who seems to be very highly respected in Hell. I get he's a demon lord and Blitz is an imp but he slept with someone who is equally respected if not respected more than Stolas is.

[@Horseshoecrabwarrior]

Well, Verosika is famous for being, well, a succubus. Their whole *thing* is sleeping with people. Stolas was royalty, with all the wealth and property that position implied, and was married and had a daughter. Everyone probably thought Stolas was above that sort of thing.
