Regarding the thing about Millie seeing Blitzø as bulletproo and unbothered, I think it’s more about her seeing him as this guy who can just take all the knives that’s thrown at him by life and keep standing with that silly grin on his face, rather then him literally being unbothered by everything.

[@biarose8562]

Yeah, like he acts angry and all but rarely takes things to his heart, so this was the first time since she met him that he really was deeply affected by something

[@joculatrixpierrot]

Also like, all his insecurities _Millie_ hasn't seen, canonically. Moxie had the interrogation scene and Loona has a few, but Millie legitimately has never seen him upset I don't believe.

[@submariNervous]

Exactly. The old saying "rolling with the punches" doesn't mean the punches don't make contact, after all! It just means you can use the momentum from **taking** the "punch" to get back up and keep moving!

[@morganyoung3557]

That is what I thought, to Millie when she sees Blitzø get upset or angry, he quickly dusts himself off and shoots back with a snappy comeback at whoever got him riled up. This is the first time Millie saw Blitzø not able to recover from something that upset him which is why that and Blitzø pretty much saying he loves Stolas without actually saying the words “I love Stolas” shows that Blitzø and Stolas are going to eventually get back together and Stolas is Blitzø’s endgame romance.

[@ilikejuce]

While I definitely agree with your points, (in my opinion) if classism is going to be a main theme in your show, it needs to be shown in more things other than the subtext. Even one or two moments of on screen serious shots of classism would make these scenes so much better. I can understand the scenes being in the subtext if this was an underlying theme but seeing as how it's becoming a main theme, I feel like they need or should've shown more of it rather than making us draw our own conclusions and making us search for it.

[@IzzyRoseDoesArt]

​@@dajh5192 I would argue that Millie sounded more like a contractor than just a freelancer, like she might've worked under a supervisor who distributed hits but no longer got assignments due to an overabundance of workers. Blitz's dad also could've worked under a larger company more as a manager rather than owner, and even if he didn't, you could argue that being a circus owner isn't very "respectable," and it also puts Imps in an entertainment/plaything position. Same thing with Moxxie's dad, being a crime lord is impressive and commands respect in the way of fear, but it isn't an "official" occupation and kinda runs off of being underground and in the shadows of society. None of these jobs are particularly glamorous or enviable.

Striker saying that didn't even register if I can be honest. Felt like a throwaway line of flattery from a dude trying to be everyone's best friend. As for Stolas' dad, honestly that felt less societal and more like Blitzo's dad's sleazy. Plus, and this is something I felt a bit confused about, that felt more like he paid to have a playdate that Blitzo's dad agreed to less out of obligation to societal higher-ups and threats of violence than the desire to rob him blind.

[@emeraldfire413]

Yeah, but circuses are generally poor and run on scraps and the workers themselves are usually poorer than poor themselves and exploited to hell. Or at least they were back when circuses were still common. Also a lot of circuses had freakshow performers that they'd often bought from their parents or owners (slaves) so they likely didn't need to be paid. So seems fitting for imps I guess.

Striker when he meets Blitz talks about how it’s impressive for one of “their kind” to own a business, calls Stolas a “blue blood” and “filthy prince” It’s a big deal that Stolas would be “sleeping with an imp” when he’s seen on a date with Blitz in Ozzie’s Hell Mammon threatens to tell everyone to at Asmodeus and Fizz are together because it’s supposed to be secret cause one is an imp and one is a sin The class thing is brought up a lot

[@timemonkey]

Asmodeus and Fizz's issue isn't because Fizz is an imp. It's because Asmodeus isn't supposed to do love as the embodiment of lust.

[@seeleunit2000]

​@@timemonkeyBut it is. It's just worse because Fizz is an Imp.

[@Lady-Seashell-Bikini]

@@seeleunit2000 Everyone knew that Oz and Fizz were fucking, but they were trying to hide their love. Oz isn't supposed to be in love, which is why when one of Oz's succubi caught them romantically teasing each other, they switched to an erotic position saying they were just having "an unemotional bang sesh". When Oz did admit that he loved Fizz, one of the texts sent was "Oz is fucking Fizz LOVINGLY?!"

[@Khajmer]

I do think you have a good point about how much of the show's lore exists outside of the actual show. Hazbin has a similar problem, where there's just *so much* of the lore and worldbuilding that's been addressed by word of god and not actually in the texts of the series.

[@Cobalt360Degrees]

It's such a big problem that so much of the fandom seems to just take for granted, which really makes parsing the shows' actual content so difficult. Like, I don't care what Vivzie said three, six, ten years ago one character or another; treating that kinda stuff like gospel implies that she, as a creator, isn't allowed to change her mind or refine her ideas over time, and that's just completely unfair and unhelpful to view the content the shows actually have with outside, possibly unused information.

[@kfphunter1315]

The problem is that Boss takes a long time to make. Of course, all this will be explained in the future. Of course, all this explains in the future. If it were not an indie show that comes out episodically. What is behind the show is simply answers to impatient fans(most of the information is outdated because it was said before episode 1 of season 1). Trust the information that is only in the show itself. You can just not listen to it and add the dots while watching

Totally... However, I do love when they let us sink on a character's particular behavior only to then reveal why they act that way.

[@jessicayoung3656]

Blitz introducing M and M, then them getting married - it makes sense that Blitz would feel left out and want what they have.

[@wrenbab]

side note from the video itself honestly thanks to danny playing that song every outro, it really grew on me at first id skip it like every other outro when i first found the channel, but then it started getting stuck in my head, and now i let it play out, and even loop it on spotify almost every time i work on commissions its become such a positive ear worm for me and every. single. time. i hear it, im reminded of this channel

[@moonbloom2262]

15:50 when it comes to the classism themes, yes it should probably be adressed more. But it is still there. In the episode stolas gets kidnapped theres a higher class demon with a small pet imp in her handbag. Stolas accidentally abuses his imp servant. Im sure there are other times as well.

[@Hanmacx]

If I was a big demon I too would have an imp in my handbag 😅

[@liquidtoothpaste]

You don't have to say accidentally, he can have flaws 😭 I'm pretty sure he just doesn't give a fuck about them and won't admit it. "I can't be racist! I have a black friend," basically.

[@palemeadows]

@@liquidtoothpasteliterally??

[@swordcrab3181]

@@liquidtoothpaste I think you can say it's accidental in that he doesn't *mean* to cause them harm... but the reason why is because he doesn't even really realize they're there. He's so used to them just being there he just treats them like furniture instead of people, he doesn't think about them at all. I think a big way to show the classism is that whevener we see Demons in a "servant" position, they're *always* Imps. The butlers at Stolas' house, the workers at Loo Loo Land, the waiters at the restaurants, the farmers in Wrath... they're all Imps. All the jobs that give some power or require more education like secretaries, lawyers, nurse, doctors... they're never Imps, always other types of Demons. The most powerful Imp we've seen in the show is Crimson, and the fact that he's a ruthless criminal who can just kill anyone who gives him shit probably is why he can somewhat bypass the class system.

[@gothic_ace2037]

i mean there was that fish woman with her child when Blitz took Loona to get her shots, her kid called Blitz a fire toad and his mom told them that he should only say that when they arent around and then proceeds to call blitz a filthy wrathian so its not like there isnt obvious racism, its just in a way that makes it a side plot to the main plot

[@a-chronic-0verthinker]

Stolas coping: deep thinking, focusing on other interests instead of dwelling on the problem. Results: gains emotional capacity to talk to, discuss, and even sing about ex. Blitz coping: wallow in self pity, watch shitty tv. Results: still is a hot mess, but hey, he gets to dress slutty and go on a ghost hunt!!

[@Yume03]

Stolas unhealthy coping is also excessive drinking 😢. Plus he did watch shitty TV and binge eat before Ozzie’s too 😅

[@seeleunit2000]

... It sounds like the rest of you are "coping." I can't wait for the episode where the owl is going to get dragged through the coals. It will be so cathartic

[@big_ole_queer_mess]

Stolas coping: Drunk off his ass, glass of wine at 10 am, relying on his "happy pills." Stolas is just as fucked up as Blitzø, just you wait. Guarantee the reason he's late for the meeting next episode ("Where is Stolas anyways? We must summon him at once") is because he's fucking hungover or already drunk. The first thing he did at Verosika's party was drink, and he continued to drink heavily the entire party.

[@delulutrelulu]

i just noticed that in 11:51 when his mom burns its actually the same flames that she died in aka when Blitz accidentally set the circus on fire. Thats why they were all like "You hurt everyone that you get close to" because he prolly blames himself for his moms death, which is also the reason he never wanted to be an item with Stolas cuz he was scared that if he got too close he'll hurt him.

[@moonbloom2262]

We found that out in oops

To be honest, I appreciate both the drama and the humor. Both are important aspects of the show, and I think I like the idea of shorts focusing on the comedy and the actual episodes focusing on the drama.

Oh no Danny, This is NOT helluva boss starting to redeem Blitz, This is YOU redeeming INTO appreciating him and I'm All here for it ;>

It's both, really. This episode is by far the most likeable Blitzo has been. It shows us how he's actually a good person (we knew before, but this gives concrete examples) and how he changes people for the better. All of I.M.P. have benefited because of who he is.

[@maurabrady8572]

I also struggled for quite some time to see the classism in this show. It took watching several videos that broke it down for me to understand it. I’m glad that they’re making it less subtle now.

[@josephwilliams1251]

Agreed, my man!

[@anothermiddleschoolburnout8816]

Ngl, I kinda don't love how things need to be spelled out for the audience nowadays. Subtle themes in shows and movies are what make media analysis so fun and being told explicitly what the story is about feels very handholdy.

[@Cobalt360Degrees]

@@anothermiddleschoolburnout8816 I don't think the problem with this show is that it's being subtle; the problem is that it's been wildly inconsistent. I think Danny touched on it a couple times before, but this show (and it's a problem Hazbin has as well) really struggles with deciding which issues they want you to take seriously and which ones get to be the punchline of jokes. It's a good thing, in this case, that they're finally committing to a certain approach, because up until now it's been flip-flopping between 'haha silly goof' and 'we're being serious now', and I don't think you can really blame the audience for wanting (and benefitting) from that kind of clarification.

16:43 to add here Dann. The daiulogue between Striker and Stolas did show off how the treatment of imps has an impact. Also how Striker talks to Blitz in episode 5 of season 1.

[@SeeLina55]

Brandon Rodgers (aka Blitzø) said this specific episode meant so much to him as he played a huge part into writing this episode with Vivzie & her team. It still has it’s corky moments, but it was still a good episode for development with Blitzø along with Millie too (as she deserves it so much) & where the story is so far as in the drama on Blitzø's end of dealing with the end of his arrangement with Stolas as well as the possibility of I.M.P officially going out of business from bankruptcy to the higher up demons finding out that this illegal imp owning business exist (as Moxxie & Loona were taking care of while the others were on Earth).
