Helluva Boss PILOT Group Reaction | Where It All Began

[@InfinitEthanAnimations]

The scene of Stolas' phone call of Blitz in this pilot really makes my jaw drop in shock and the jokes are just hilarious

[@butterflywarrioredits]

I think KZbin kinda gave up on trying to block this series. While the guidelines are a little bit more strict this year I don’t think it will be a problem. But if it is I’m sure Vivziepop will make a community post about it if it does become an issue. Also not to mention she does put a warning sign at the beginning of every episode for a fair few seconds.

[@kay-jay1581]

Yeah I’m not sure what it’s going on with KZbin or what Ruff is going on about. But Helluva boss hasn’t had a problem in KZbin probably due to the high views. Also the series is founded through the merchandise, Patreon and other stuff. Not just Houtube Add revenue.

[@shanajeangedeon9060]

@@kay-jay1581 KZbin just changed their restrictions by cracking down on swearing, sexual content, violence, and copyright. The one he's worried about is whether the show is still gonna be allowed because of how much they curse and kill in the show.

[@SpiderandMosquito]

I'm pretty sure that don't monetize these videos either, I think production is almost always crowd funded and what isn't is out of pocket

[@georgiecarapella3274]

KZbin think they know everything just because it’s their company

[@dovahthuri]

This show puts a 18+ warning in the beginning, so this show is able to get revenue from ads without having to worry about being demonitized. Though the profit made is very little. Patreon & Merch is where they afford to make this show

[@Aardydarling]

Also lots of animation accidentally gets put on KZbin kids so it’s also to prevent that happening

[@lulolie]

@@Aardydarlingless accidentally and more KZbin being lazy with COPPA

[@lumityforever]

Don't worry they make so much money in merch sales I'm pretty sure the show has never been monetized in the first place

[@jazzycat8917]

Stolas did change voice actor. Brock Baker got accused of some pretty iffy stuff, so him and the creator agreed he should step down so as to not damage the project by association while that was all going down. Stolas is currently voiced by Bryce Pinkham.

[@randell3306]

God bless him.

[@nobel5019]

cant tell a difference

[@pantyosashu8137]

Pinkham honestly fits Stolas better imo so think god for that. Edit: *Thank

[@d33znutz420]

I'm pretty sure most of the funding for Helluva Boss is actually from the fans buying merch and patreon. The audience pretty much pays the workers through being fans of the show, so they might be okay in spite of youtube fuckery. Also, there is in fact a fully animated music video for the "Oh Millie" song on the channel, along with a Hazbin Hotel animated music video :)

[@dia7282]

The ending is animated. They put it out on Valentine's day a couple years ago so you can find it

[@BlazingFirestorm14]

Richard Horvitz was the perfect choice to be the voice actor for Moxxie in this show. In case you didn't know, he also voiced Zim from "Invader Zim", as well as Kaos from the Skylanders series.

[@Ragingknight12]

and Billy from the Grim adventures of BILLY AND MANDY

[@donovan802]

4:25 Loona was watching the scene from Hazbin Hotel, Vivziepop’s other show that shares the same universe and is releasing this April or June (forgot when), but definitely give that pilot a watch too!

[@PurpleLugia]

Last I knew the Hazbin series has only been teased for "Summer" of this year, so it could be as late as July or August. As of this comment Viv has already announced the completion of the first season, but we're still waiting for an announcement on when it releases and on what platform(s). We're even still waiting on an official full cast list.

[@twist58]

(6:29) That’s such a subtle, sincere smile on Loona. 😮

[@haku8135]

In the pilot both Stolas and Millie have different voice actors. Millie is actually voiced by Loona, fun little fact. Stolas is voiced by Brock Baker. In the series proper he's voiced by Bryce Pinkham.

[@TheBlackEternalWings]

On the topic you brought up of making money and whatnot, they do sporadic (almost seasonal) limited merch drops of shirts, playmats and more. All of which tend to sell out like hotcakes

[@brabbit736]

I love that Blitzø purrs

[@artthounasty5877]

There's just lot of references to the pilot on the first season so I guess people were hoping you'd see the pilot first so you wouldn't miss out on them :) There's also some Hazbin Hotel (Viv's other show) references both in the pilot and the first season of Helluva Boss.

[@tallmanthesecond]

I'm glad that I watched episode 1 right after the pilot because the pilot itself to me, while having some funny moments, is structured kind of messily. There are flashbacks within flashbacks and it was a little disorienting to watch. Episode 1 is SO much cleaner and made me want to really stick with the series

[@TrackpadProductions]

Well, a pilot episode is pretty much just meant to be a pitch to a producer/studio. A lot of the pilots I've worked on have the same kind of weird structure; they're usually not intended as an actual episode, but rather a means of establishing the settings, the characters and their dynamics, the tone, and a little bit of plot to kick it off. The pilots of most shows never even really get seen by audiences, unless there's some kind of special release.

[@rythmic4021]

I dont know how im just now noticing this, but when blitz says "Loona is a valued member of our family..." Loona actually smiles.

[@ScorpionStrike7]

Millie and Stolas have different VAs. They also gave Stella a redesign

[@MaskedSongbird]

I think they fund this series with merch sales and Patreon donations and that's how they get around the KZbin monetization issues, so it probably doesn't even matter whether the KZbin TOS guidelines likes their adult content or not.

[@johanstenfelt1206]

There is a Animated Music Video Version of that Song at the End and no, that Song does not show up in the Show, the Song you’re maybe thinking about is a entirely different one.

[@donovan802]

🎵 “Kids die for FFFRREEEEEEEE!!!” 🎵 😂

[@alastor3609]

That end credit scene is actually animated now

[@livingcountry6279]

This show is gold.

[@mmart4244]

They are right, oh millie has a full animation And it is beautiful

[@mufinboi975]

The ending song is animated in a different video. That was just storyboarding like a teaser for the animation. So you should check it out but it doesnt matter if you make a reaction or not.

[@krabkrabby]

Now this is a pilot written as gold👌

[@everythingman0082]

This show is funded greatly by merch sales luckily, I’m sure it’s not the only source of income it gets but it definitely helps them

[@raptorneon4919]

4:13 fun fact: due to the fan base going crazy over loona, they the removed the confirmation of her having syphilis. Well played

[@Cri_Jackal]

Syphilis is entirely curable though. It's not permanent.

[@raptorneon4919]

@@Cri_Jackal I know. But it’s still funny that just instead of curing it they straight up decanonized it

Oh Millie actually was animated fully! You should watch it

[@yosoysquidward8402]

A lot of the funding for the series comes from frequent merch drops featuring both hazbin hotel and Helluva boss which sell out extraordinarily fast and donations for future videos

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Have you watched the Hazbin Hotel Pilot? If not, maybe you should do that one next.

[@sortastupid]

We have

[@VenyVen]

The song Oh Millie actually does have it's own animation lol. I sincerely hope you check it out as well as Hazbin Hotel and it's music videos (both official and fanmade like Addict and One Hell of a Team). Seeing your reactions to this series makes me also wish that you check out Murder Drones. XD

[@CalSuperman]

Idk if anyone has mentioned this, I didn't see any comments about it but Viv has said that the pilot isn't Canon anymore. (So Luna doesn't have Syphilis lol) It is still really fun though.

[@zeframmann1641]

The scene where Blitz falls onto Stella's table is though and is definitely worth watching the pilot for.

[@Konoctirepublicshorts]

Watching this as of hazbin hotel releasing, the amount of references there are is insane, you can see a billboard for 666news with the same host as in hazbin hotel, and you can see Luna on the computer watching the news which happens to be Charlie doing her advertisement for the hotel This is why I love these shows😂

[@Katzztar]

That ending song IS animated! It's also expanded a bit into a full song, instead of stop-animation. Look for "Oh Millie".

[@jaxcraft2848]

11:56: It is. Look up "Oh, Millie" 😁

[@GreenSargent]

If you go back you’ll notice the mother crying about her kid at 10:42 is the same woman at 2:46 who’s on her phone not paying attention when the kid gets shot.

Helluva Boss basically lives off of Merch Sales. They don't make much money from youtube.

If you would like to do another Show while waiting for more Helluva Boss Episodes, I recommend checking out either Murder Drones or Satina, they are pretty interesting in their own right and I think you would like them.

[@bencrispe9562]

This show makes all its money through merch sales and fan donations. They don't care about the KZbin algorithm demonetizing them. Also, this pilot is the only evidence we have that living humans can go to, and exist in Hell.

In the pilot, Millie had a white spot in her hair, but it was changed to pure black once the sexual dimorphism in Imps was finalized. Females have black hair and black horns with thin white stripes, while males have white hair and equally sized black and white stripes on their horns.

[@emmy_the_nbnd]

I'll be honest here. I feel like you guys aren't giving this show the same kind of care and attention that you gave shows like gravity falls and owl house and its really unfortunately. Yes its a silly crass show with rude humour but its also story driven and mega detailed (look at the posters and photos on the walls etc.) filled with tons of lore (the class system and the different rings etc.) and its unfortunate that you are missing all of this gold (and a lot of the plot and massaging). Maybe a rewatch would make sense idk.

Can’t please everyone. Thanks for hanging out with us

[@emmy_the_nbnd]

@@sortastupid of course. I just enjoyed the way you guys handled those other shows so much.

It was a recent ad suitability change. Basically KZbin is bending over to advertisers who want “advertiser friendly content” it’s become horribly out of control the past month We had to completely black out every moment with a gun in this past last of us reaction just to get it up. Took us like 4-5 re-edits before they’d let us monetize it
