​@kirby69813 The pilot is like right after the Extermination. Overture takes place a week later, as it was stated in the pilot more than once. "When you showed up a week ago-" "I know it's just been a week-" The timeline is pretty clear-cut.

[@GirlofCulture]

@@kirby69813 O.o What do you mean? The Pilot shows the Clocktower 0 Next Cleanse and then up to 365 again. And in Episode 1 when Charlie was singing and dancing through the city, the Tower actually says Next Cleanse 358 Days. So it is a week ago.

[@aidan8583]

timing makes sense, it mentions "a week" a ton

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

rewatching this made me realise that Adam is actually pretty competent in his job. Normally with a character like Adam and Lute, you have Adam as the leader that cant do shit and Lute as the right hand who actually runs everything. But Lute is pretty much in the background and Adam runs most of it himself. Also, with the knowledge of them knowing an angel died, him stalling most of the meeting only to mention them moving up the extermination at the end, was very clever to avoid questions on why. (There is a lot I want to say on the meeting, but it's him reminding her that time is almost out that came as a surprise. Fully expected him to say 'whoops, time is up' and Charlie wanting to squeeze in her presentation, but he did leave her enough time to present her idea). Overall, if it weren't for his crude comments, Adam handled the meeting pretty well. And then, when they find the Angel's body, it's _Lute_ that wants to storm in there without preparation and _Adam_ that thinks of the consequences and of a plan. It's things like this that make Adam still seem as a threat. Yeah, he's rude and egotistical, but he is competent.

[@Y_r_u491]

Yes I loved that about his character, sure he's the worst but he actually does know what he is doing and has the power to Back up his word. Usually characters like him are weak but talk about how strong they are, but he actually can put up a good fight.

[@Sparten7F4]

Adam *plays* the fool, but if you pay attention, he commands well throughout. Everything you say here and specific elements of his command later point to this.

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

@@Sparten7F4 (Spoiler! Tagged for the channel). What originally brought this to my attention is him recognising Vaggie. Not only as an angel, but also by name, as one of the frontliners and his top girls. Vaggie looks completely different, and they've only seen her in passing once while her and charlie were in heaven. _That is a man that knows his army well._ (also the fact that he _named_ her? Someone once told me a theory that the exorcists werent actual winners, but angels made from Adams ribs, like eve, which would be interesting? It would explain a lot, like the gender ratio, their different design, the fact we barely see them in actual heaven, Lute's reaction to adam's death, Lute's design as more human in general with her potentially being the first exorcist, ...). Generally, Adam is such an interesting character to pick apart, i'd love to see or know more of him.

[@Sparten7F4]

@@Sammy_The_Umbreon (spoilers!) all of this is correct. And it’s clear that he’s also used to having this control - because he slips so often in front of, er, *Charlie* later lol.

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

(Spoiler!) Another thing I find hugely interesting is his relationship to the seraphims (Sera specifically). You'd think he'd be pretty unhappy having a 'manager' like Sera, but he seems pretty confortable in his position, not really trying to climb the ranks. He also looks to her for guidance when he's unsure (see: court room when he became unsure of how he got into heaven). That makes immediantly more sense if you remember that the early angels and god are the closest thing to a parental figure he has, with being the first human and all. It's also never mentioned in this story that he also ate from the fruit of knowledge, which would mean he never learned right and wrong, which would then fall to the angels to teach him their philosophy. I probably went off topic now, but Adam is just such a fascinating character to me.

I'm so glad you're checking this out. It really is spectacular. I love seeing people shocked by how Disney-esque yet R-rated it is. I hope you check out the pilot too, it sets up a lot of this world. Also, a few small notes and answers to questions: 1. Charlie's dad is Lucifer. He and Satan are two different rulers in this universe. 2. Charlie and Vaggie are in fact girlfriends. And they're adorable. 3. Husk isn't a bat, he's a cat with wings. 4. I just wanted to point out that Adam is voiced by Broadway legend, Alex Brightman. No wonder "Hell Is Forever" is so good. Also, pretty ironic he says he never made a mistake when he literally committed the original sin. If anyone deserves to be stuck down there, it's him.

[@chilliicecream5456]

Yeah, there are a few things to note about how Hell works in this universe. Firstly there are two major types of demons. The first are Sinners, who are humans who have been damned to Hell after death. When they arrive in Hell they gain a demonic form that usually reflects how they died and is designed to make them hate how they look. Alastor is a notable example, seeing how his demon form is that of a deer, referencing how he died in a deer hunting related accident. Sinners cannot reproduce, are confined to the Pride Ring of Hell and are biologically immortal. The only way they can be killed is through the use of blessed weapons, which angels use during the Extermination, explaining why Hell is so overcrowded. The second type of Demons are Hellborn, which are exactly what they sound like. These are demons that were born in Hell. They vary a lot depending on how high up the hierarchy they are, but the lower classes are able to be killed with regular weaponry, whilst royals need the blessed weapons described before. Charlie is the only Hellborn in the main cast of Hazbin, but the sister series, Helluva Boss focuses a lot more on how the lower and upper classes of Hellborn live in this world. The Hierarchy of Hell basically works like this, from highest to lowest: 1. Lucifer. A fallen Angel. The King of Hell and the Sin of Pride. 2. Lilith. The First Woman and Lucifer’s wife. The Queen of Hell 3. Charlie Morningstar. Their daughter. A smol bean. 4. The remaining Six Members of The Seven Deadly Sins. Asmodeus. Satan. Leviathan. Mammon. Beelzebub. Belphegor. They each run a ring of Hell, kinda like Dante’s Inferno. 5. The Ars Goetia. A collection of 72 noble Demon families with very strong magic and rigid sensibilities. 6. Overlords. Powerful demons who have come into being by providing necessary advancements to Hell. Alastor is the Overlord of Radio, because he brought the idea of radio with him to Hell when he died. 7. Sinners. Described above. 8. Hellborn demons. 9. Imps and Hellhounds. The lowest of the low. Often working class or even slaves.

[@limonlx7182]

Wait, Alastor is an overlord? I thought overlords are hellborn and Alastor is just the most powerful sinner of all, as it was described in the pilot.

[@grawlix-man463]

​@@limonlx7182Overlords are sinners who gained great power in hell, a good example is Zestial and Velvet in episode three, Zestial is the oldest overlord as he died centuries ago, while Velvet is the youngest, dying presumably in the modern day, both are from earth, they just used their wits, powers, and contracts with other weaker sinners to get strong enough to rule.

[@jjsstikbotvideos4421]

@@limonlx7182Um no, it’s the opposite of what you said. Only sinners can be overlords. He’s an overlord. Hellborns are either less powerful than overlords (like imps, hellhounds, succubus, sharks, sirens, etc), or more powerful than overlords (like the Seven Deadly Sins, Charlie, Lilith, and Goetias). And then Lucifer

[@agenttheater5]

I dunno.......if he's an angel then he could still be more powerful than anyone else. And he's a different kind of angel from the exterminator angels. He was definitely born one instead of becoming one like Adam did.

[@zayne8331]

Vaggie is Charlie’s gf. Don’t listen to people that say otherwise. Vivziepop confirmed it several times and in the show you’ll hear Vaggie call her babe. The theory as for why charlie’s dad had her go to the meeting instead is so that she could see herself that the angels and heaven wasn’t what she was imagining. There’s also the fact that Adam is Lilith’s ex, that would probably be awkward for Lucifer considering Lilith is now his wife. Also, all hellborn demons are exempt from extermination, not just Charlie and her family. Imps, hellhounds, and other hellborn demons get a pass because they didn’t do anything to get sent down there, they just happened to be born there. The only demons that get exterminated are the sinners (humans that sinned and went to hell when they died).

[@SrGigglesandlaughs]

It's not just that. The official character introductions released last week, that are publicly available, already say that their girlfriends. The trailers also show them revealing their relationship to Charlie's dad (probably episode 5). So yeah, it's been confirmed by the creators for years, during the pilot and is now confirmed yet again. Anyone saying otherwise is the typical type of person.

[@DioxJXD]

While it's true they were a couple and still are in the show, try to refrain from saying absolutes unless its been said in the current show or promotional material for the official show because 99% of the lore and information out there is from years ago before A24 picked it up and a lot of the lore/written story has confirmed to have changed so a lot of widespread information is potentially out of date as of the current iteration of the show.

Worth mentioning, there's a subtle detail a lot of people miss. In "Hell is Forever", at the end of the song, Adam grabs Charlie's arm. He GRABS her. With his hand. Even though he's not meant to be there. If you look at the shot, though, they still have the hologram effect on his body and Charlie looks physically surprised at what's happening. So it's not an animation error, the subtle implication is that Adam could have made his hologram form solid all along and he just chose not to purely to mess with her.

It is not explicitly stated in the show thus far.

This is not true *SPOILERS AHEAD* the eyes belong to Roo (Root of All Evil). They're her motif and the way she keeps control over evil. We literally only see them appear and pop up when she's mentioned in the opening narration of this episode. And her design is covered in them lol.

For example, you get Alastor's whole backstory and learn why they call him the Radio Demon. Also I think it's a hilarious subtle joke they added that Adam was snacking on spare ribs when Eve was created from one of HIS ribs.

[@Stackali]

did anyone notice the joke of him eating ribs?

[@TheSansationalSans]

The fact that she called Lucifer "just a little guy" at the start of the episode had me rolling!

[@AshyCat]

i remember this channel from my danganronpa days, glad to see it for a show im currently super invested in :)

[@samanthadegroot7749]

its actually kinda fun to see someone who hasn't seen the pilot react to the first episode, kinda goes to show how good of a job the show did in making it so that you didnt have to watch the pilot to understand episode one, while also not sounding like it's explaining everything to you like you're a child.

[@Obsessed.Since_2010]

I actually love your personality so much, please continue these vids they’re so fun to watch and see your opinions

[@thebumblbeee]

THE FACT THAT SHE ACTUALLY FOUND OUT HOW VAGGIE WAS NAMED ACCIDENTALLY

[@BluelStar]

OMGGG girlie you need to do more episodes! I’m in love with this show

[@KKarkatVantas]

You shouldve watched the pilot first, its still canon, also you should watch Helluvaboss

[@ezragrey5959]

One little thing that I like to point out: even though Adam was only a hologram, he was able to grab and throw Charlie. He could have done whatever he wanted to do to her

[@AndaraBledin]

"They're kind of making [Lucifer] seem like... I don't know. He's just a little guy." Hah! you have no idea how correct you are. 🤣 If you really like villain songs, Alastor's got a great duet coming up.

[@jonathanjoestar1938]

Really cool to hear a theatre nerd’s perspective on this show! Hope you react to all of the episodes!

[@thedoctorTARDIS]

Adam eating Ribs is such an underrated joke.

[@mistmistly4750]

Omg you're reaction is so cute, I'm literally feeling your joy right now ahhhh! 100% recommend checking out the rest. (Including the pilot - the voice cast is all different, but it's definitely a good lead in to the series)!

[@shadymerchant3456]

Yes, Charlie and Vaggie are together.

[@covensys]

This is one of the most enjoyable reactions of this I've seen! I can't wait to binge the rest!

[@Witchofhearts]

Omg!! Please continue with this reaction series!!! I also think you should watch the pilot episode it gives a bit more context to the rest of the main characters and the overall plot of the show.

[@itsjustme977]

“They’re making Satan seem like just a little guy” yes the fuck they are

[@tatsumisakamai5372]

A thing that I noticed about Adam is that his favorite food is ribs... Eve was created from God pulling out one of Adam's ribs.

[@GhostMaze08]

Please watch the rest as the story is such an amazing one to follow along with. And the character development so far has been really cool.

[@VampireHunter5790]

The only think Alaster is Pissed about in this episode is being forced to engage with Television tech. ALastor HATES Television. He is also Asexual so he legit is disgusted by the idea of him and Angel together XD

[@tamasjambor8668]

It was actually really fun to see someone react to this without already knowing the characters from the pilot. I hope you continue!

[@DioxJXD]

As others have said, the Pilot is canon and does go into various bit of information the first episode doesn't. I wouldn't say you HAVE to watch it but if you want more lore/worldbuilding I'd give it a watch even if you don't react to it. If you enjoy Hazbin Hotel, might I suggest Helluva Boss, from the same people and in the same universe. Sort of a Hazbin Hotel spinoff that got really popular. They're on their second season and it' perfectly compliments HH, assuming you enjoyed it. It's also an entirely youtube based series so you don't have to worry about copyright as Vivzie is fine with reactors. Also be aware of a lot of random information being thrown around in the comments as people are still going off outdated information from back when the original Pilot released that has not been confirmed since A24 took over and the creator confirmed lore and story had changed. People are eager to "flex their knowledge" perhaps from a good intentioned place but most of it is here say or old information that has likely changed. Just an FYI.

[@megboyd2609]

Oh my goodness- you are so delightful!! I had such a blast rewatching this with your reactions! New sub, can't wait to watch more!

[@KKarkatVantas]

Lucifer and Satan are not the same in this, just like in some religions

[@GlorinMF]

In what religions are they different?

[@dumbly-stupid]

​@@GlorinMF I think the word they were probably looking for was interpretations

[@GlorinMF]

@@dumbly-stupid What other interpretations are there?

[@dumbly-stupid]

@@GlorinMF the 7 deadly sins and in some translations of the bible Lucifer isn't mentioned and when he is mentioned depending on how you interpret Isaiah 14:12 Lucifer could be a title rather than a person and Satan is sometimes a agent of God rather than a force of evil (sorry if this is hard to understand I suck at explaining things)

[@GlorinMF]

@@dumbly-stupid Isn't one of those just an anime and the other one a translation thing? I thought we were talking about religions? And no worries

[@jrob4959]

yeah, Lilith was Adam's original wife and she didn't go for the whole subservience thing so she was replaced with Eve. She has been removed from a lot of the texts.

[@Megaspinosaurusrex]

That's a misconception. Lilith as a figure is ancient, but not the "first wife of adam" story isn't as old as lilith herself. She seems to have been a demonic figure in mesopotamia. The word only appear once in the bible and is often translated using different words, and is present in various hebrew litterature where it seems to refers to a demon or a beast. Her name is found in mandeism and zorastrianism for various figures. The story of lilith as Adam's first wife appears for the first time in the 8th century, making it more recent than the three main abrahamic religions. It spread in the middle ages and took on many forms especially in jewish litterature, with similar account found in islamic folklore. The name was also used to refer to a woman who came to Solomon to resolve an issue, since this story is featured in judaism, christianity and islam, then lilith exist in that form in all three, but again this is a later addition and in this case is completly detached from the wife of Adam concept.

[@trolleyfan]

Lilith is from Jewish folklore. Hazbin rewrites it a bit, but the whole "first wife who didn't want to be subservient to Adam" is the basic story. Honestly, the songs only get better as the series goes on. Vaggie's full name is Vagatha. And yrs, she and Charlie are a thing.

[@magustobias8827]

Found your channel while looking for reactions to this, and I enjoyed seeing the perspective of a fellow theater person. Looking forward to what you think of/about the rest of it.

[@GuukanKitsune]

Alastor IS a villain. He's just the villain of about every OTHER story he's been in. All usually stories where the villain wins. In this story he's more of... the asshole big brother who will NOT tolerate anyone else picking on his younger siblings but freely messes with them however much he wants themself.

[@finixmoon127]

Anti-villain is more accurate

[@parzivalalchema5870]

He's the "no one picks on my siblings other than me" type of brother, but nah, it's a bit funny charlie almost called him... Daaaaaaad

[@GuukanKitsune]

@@parzivalalchema5870 (Sound of Lucifer aggressively fiddling)

[@ConstantDistres5]

I love seeing someone who doesn’t know much about hazbin react to this, i love it!

[@TrueHavoc13]

If you really enjoy this show I'd recommend helluva boss. It's a sister show made by the same creator and is in the same universe. It's halfway through season 2 and is all on youtube.

[@HumbleTrooper]

Whoever decided that Adam’s favorite food would be ribs is a comedy genius

[@BSIworker]

Omg hasbin hotel. Im sure you’ll love it weeby 😭

[@SurrealEuphoria]

It's crazy to think how far this channel has come. I started watching when the channel had just started with the danganronpa stuff. I was always waiting for a new video. Then something happened (you were sick or went on a trip or something), and I watched the rest of your reviews of the anime airing at the time, but the hype had died for me. Glad the channel is doing well after all these years.

[@Rainbonana]

YAY!!!!! BUT WEEBY YOU GOTTA WATCH THE PILOT!

[@Jedi-Ghost-SB]

I'm so glad I found your reaction. I'm gonna go binge the rest of them keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍

[@helicopterharry5101]

I think Lilith was in the Jewish Bible. She was Adam's first partner (if you don't count the animals he rejected XD) but she refused to submit to Adam, so God created Eve from Adam's rib so she would be inferior from the start. Lilith hooks up with some demon instead, can't remember if it was Lucifer himself but it would make sense since he didn't submit either. From what I remember.

[@GlorinMF]

Not even the Jewish Bible, just some Jewish fanfiction. Then people loved the idea of a woman lucider demon and started using her all over the place.

[@sophiecooper1824]

You are gonna love this show ❤ all the musical numbers are catchy af and the characters are amazing. Can't wait for your reaction to episode 2

[@danielnolt3518]

Would love to see more Hazbin! And maybe even Helluva Boss ;) (Same Creator and Universe)

[@michaellynes3540]

Stephanie Beatriz doing the voice of Vaggie literally sounds like Lake Bell as the voice of Poison Ivy from the show “Harley Quinn”.

[@felicity8062]

2:45 The show is not Biblically accurate, but it is amazing!

[@TonyFlopped]

Its in greek-christian mythology actually, but still has some tweaks bc they want us to get a new persppective with lucifer being the hero instead

[@StarlasAiko]

In spite of all the foul language and the hellish characters, this show is absolutely wholesome.

[@rosefriday4287]

If you like villain songs, you are going to LOVE next episode 💗

[@candyangelart]

I would absolutely love to see you react to more episodes! I genuinely enjoyed watching and you had me laughing the whole time 😂 made me feel like I was discovering the show for the first time again 💛 I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far! Hope to see more 😄💛

[@Thatoneasa]

Your hair is giving omg

[@gorasul12]

Lilith: "Adam is the bad guy" Also Lilith: "creating all the worlds evil is the greatest thing I ever done!" Adam might be annoying sometimes but I wonder if he always been like this or if that the Lilith and Eve thing left him with a ton of scars 🤔

[@jackeyesteon9427]

Woohoo!

[@_Moon.Cycle_]

YOUR FIRST

[@unvoicedapollo3318]

I think the best way to describe this is "what if a disney princess were raised in hell".

[@atransdragonwithaflamethro7255]

This is the first video i've seen of yours, and i can't wait for more! this series is so good :D
