Sir Pentious went from the comic relief character to an absolute Chad in the span of 8 episodes.

We will all definitely remember it for a long time. He was a real one! Oh, and remember when Niffty said he is not a bad boy? What a hell of foreshadowing.

36:30 my theory Is that God in this universe is less of a physical person who hangs out in heaven and more of an omnipresent force, which is why the angels are the ones at the top. its also funny that Pentious gets teleported directly to sera's office (or wherever they were), as if God were passive aggressively saying "here's your fucking proof"

[@VegaVermilionVODS]

Another thing with Pentious being sent straight to the Seraphim, His design looks more Seraph-like now instead, his Snake Hood is also now more designed as if it were 6 'winged' instead of a full hood, a neat little detail I stopped on my first watch.

[@Salza02]

Yeah and there is also the mystery of the eyes in heaven. When sera got upset at Emily for questioning the system, her whole body gets covered in eyes (ep 6 after the second song) seems like God or the elder angels are watching through her. This happens to Emily during the second song too.

[@JamesP7]

@@VegaVermilionVODSI actually think it would be really cool if Sir Pentious became a high-standing angel. Being (apparently) the first redeemed demon sinner, I’m certain that would give him some real prestige!

likewise, when Lucifer is in danger after diving to catch charlie, you see her show her true power to save him, if only just for a moment. (when her arm changes and she catches the punch)

[@mtndogrally]

It was instantly obvious that Alastor would lose to Adam when Adam didn't even know who Alastor was. That was a callback to Alastor not knowing Pentious. So weak by comparison, not even important enough to know who they are.

[@organ1zedcha0s67]

In the grand scheme of things, unless alastor is special because he was given more power by someone, he is still only an overlord... There are still 4 more tiers of strength above him in Hell alone not including angels...

[@bryanmoberg8408]

it's a good way of illustrating power levels, pentious, a regular sinner, has no hope against an angel, a tremendously powerful overlord sinner is at best, a glass cannon, alastor held his own, but wasn't doing much real damage and was nearly killed the instant he took a single blow, then charlie, puts up a good fight despite being very poor at fighting, showing just how strong she truly is compared to alastor, and then, Lucifer, who does know how to fight, and doesn't hold back like charlie, so far surpasses Adam that its the reverse of Adam vs. Alastor, or even pentious, Adam poses zero threat to lucifer, so he toys with him until he hurts Charlie, at which point Lucifer instantly defeats Adam (with a slight assist from Charlie showing a tiny flash of her true power as a nephalim)

[@danielkeys8974]

The actual reason, though, is that Alastor took exactly none of Carmine's advice. (He can still claim credit for getting that advice, and bringing Nifty, so what he said to Adam was technically correct.)

[@rolypoly4920]

If I was Alastor I would have just shoved a shadow tentacle with an angel dagger to his back while Adam was off his balance with the mini-demons.

[@Salza02]

Yeah Adam is stronger than any overlord in my opinion due to his divine power/ranking. But he can be killed since he is very brash with his fighting style and unfocused

I like how Velvette made a big deal at the Overlord meeting about how the Vees were making plans to fight Heaven now that they know the angels can be killed, but now that Extermination Day is here they're just hiding away in their headquarters and watching. Sir Pentius is now Sir Repentius. And whoever or whatever is responsible for allowing souls into Heaven apparently has a sense of humor, dropping him in front of Sera. (Also, that's actually true about snakes. It's called a hemipenis.)

[@panagis630]

And now you finally see. It was Lilith that was the deadbeat parent who doesn't answer Charlie's calls. Lucifer was the parent who stayed behind and even though emotionally devastated he was the one to answer Chalrie's call and even bargain for her protection. then fought for her when the time called for it. All while Lilith was enjoying the sunlight heavenly beach.

[@Tuxedoian]

Which brings into question the bit in the pilot episode where Charlie is talking on her phone to "mom." I wonder if that's been ret-conned to be her talking to "dad" instead in the lore.

[@panagis630]

@@Tuxedoian I re-watched the pilot just to make sure, but if you notice, she calls and talks, but it's obvious from the context that nobody is answering back, like she is leaving a message to an answering machine, and that this was not the first time she left such a message to Lilith.

That's true now, but up until seven years ago, Lilith was around, at least according to all the information we have so far. IIRC, Charlie is supposed to be about 200 years old, which means that for most of her life, her mom was in it. The mystery of what exactly happened seven years ago is yet to be answered, so I'm personally not going to make any judgement calls yet on how good or poor a parent she was/is. As Sherlock Holmes puts it: "Data, data, data! I can't make bricks without clay!"

[@issaikh]

Regarding Adam’s mask glitching, the theory I like best is that was the point he committed to not just defeating Charlie, but killing her, and breaking the contract with Lucifer that prevented him from interfering in the extermination.

I love Sera and Em's reactions to him showing up in heaven too. Sera being immediately terrified/horrified and Em squealing with excitement. Such a great moment.

[@ultima1594]

My personal theory about why the exorcists are all women is because (assuming Adam creates them, we don’t know where they come from) Adam views women as beneath him, so he always feels superior to them. Considering Lucifer took both his wives, he probably is insecure deep down and created women who are designed to be loyal to him. Also Adam’s design is based on his voice actor Alex Brightman

[@unforeseeable2.058]

I don think many people realize that Adam was a control freak from the moment he was created. Literally in the opening sequence in ep 1 it did say he demanded control over Lilith. So he was just doomed to fall from the very beginning.

[@bryanmoberg8408]

probably, angels are typically created entities without free will (part of why the apple was such a big deal) so other than lute they are probably all homunculi, artificial constructs commanded by a small collective of sentient commanders, which would explain why Adam and Vaggie both seem to be humans converted into angels rather than born as angels, and I'd suspect lute is something similar, given those 3 are the only angels of that type we see act independently (or without masks), and they appear far more human than any other non warrior angels. (remember emily and serah first appear as something more akin to birds, before changing to human forms in response to Charlie's arrival)

[@edwinbasa2804]

I dont think so, he respects sera and lute is his right hand man, his comments are more of a jab to charlie and her demons are evil people to begin with, u do realize the story reads at the beginning are from lilith and might as well be hell propaganda, thats theres a different story.

[@Lightmagician60]

i think what they tried to express with Alastor vs Adam is that Adam is a Brute. there is no methodology or Rational to his fighting. he just gradually stops holding back. Powerful but "Sloppy". Alastor was taunting about the skill Gap, not realizing how big the Power Gap was. i feel like if there was some how a round 2. Alastor would probably handle it a bit differently

[@bryanmoberg8408]

likewise, Adam get's hurt 3 times, and all three times it's when he's distracted by boasting/monologue-ing. Again, he's sloppy, because as carmilla pointed out last episode, he doesn't think he can be hurt, even after he sees they have angelic weapons he assumes he's invulnerable because he's the hero, as it were, it's why he's so caught off guard when Charlie stabs him, he didn't think that was possible, he thought he had plot armor.

Lillith is VASTLY more powerful than lute, my running theory is she was trapped in heaven, not there by choice, and Adam's death has freed her to retake her place as queen. If anything I think the threat from lillith will be she'll want to escalate into full scale war against heaven, and charlie will have to talk her down. And yes, I'd wager she's the one holding alastor's leash, that she traded him power in exchange for wiping out overlords that could be a threat to her and lucifer's rule, and, while she was in heaven she ordered him to protect the royal family (ie charlie and her home) with him free to do as he wishes otherwise. It's why he can't ask for her soul in a deal, despite it being clear Alastor DESPERATELY wants to do so.

[@sophiecooper1824]

We suspect that Vox and Alastor used to be friends ( we see a photograph of them both together in this episode during the last song but Vox's half was torn of , you can still see parts of his tv screen and shoulder beside Alastor)

[@Ireallylikemyself]

There was a funny detail that a lot of people mentioned about Lucifer showing up. Since Razzle and Dazzle resemble lambs, when Dazzle died Lucifer just decided to show up. It literally took a sacrificial lamb to get Lucifer to show up on their side 💀

Seems like Charlie didn’t get that family discount after all

[@justinmitchell4192]

The craziest thing about Adam is that he lost both his wives to Lucifer and ended up dying to a lowly demon yet he still smiled while dying maybe in his own way he actually did care about Lute

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

The fact that they hung out together outside the context of the extermination tells me that they were probably close in some way.

[@Kadukunahaluu]

Adam definitely thought of Lute as "the first woman to be truly loyal to me"

[@yashvibhardwaj9608]

@@Kadukunahaluu That's... strangely adorable. In a slightly fucked up way, maybe he did care about her in the end...

[@AnotherCrazyClown]

Funny thing about Alastor singing about "the deal having a backdoor" and that he didn't want to sacrifice himself for his friends is that sir pentious had less power than him and offered his life and that's what got him into heaven so by that logic if Alastor would have tried to fight 'til his last breath it was going to be him who arrives to heaven just by that act of altruism, his sacrifice would have been the backdoor to get out of the deal.

[@CrazyMindStudios]

Nope. Sacrificing Himself is one of many things that get Pentious in Heaven. Alastor is not a good guy

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

@@CrazyMindStudios Agreed, Pentious's sacrifice was the finale of his redemption, not the entirety. You can see throughout the series how much of a 'pure' individual he grows into. How he pets Keekee with child-like wonder, how when Husk and Angel were enjoying the 'drama' between Lucifer and Charlie Pentious just looked stressed out/sad, how he protects Nifty when the loan sharks attack the hotel, etc. People tend to notice Angel's progress more since it's more in the forefront, but Pentious also made incredible strides.

Considering how Vaggie's wings, which Lute tore off with her bare hands, grew back, I assume that Lute's arm will also grow back. I strongly suspect that Vaggie's eye did not grow back, because it was stabbed with an angelic blade.

I watched a LOT of people's reacting to Hazbin Hotel and I have to say that you are definitely my favourite. You got so many details I didn't even notice and you always sound so genuine. Thank you for reacting to the show!

[@Guildmaster_xero]

I read this really cool fact a while ago about why Alastor lost to Adam. If you look back to what Carmilla said to Vaggie. Fighting like you can't be harmed is exactly what Carmilla said not to do. And that's exactly what Alastor does. His ignorance and overconfidence is what caused Alastor to fail against Adam.

[@robertpresley1503]

I mean....Alistor didn't even have a chance at defeating Adam cuz he didn't have an angelic weapon

[@jackofhearts5542]

Adam by power level, is also just leagues above Alastor as an Angel. Charlie has angel blood in her from her dad, hence why she was able to hold her own for a bit rather than being one shot like Alastor, and Lucifer is a fallen Seraphim, the highest order of angels that far outclass the exorcist Angels, hence why he was able to easily defeat Adam.

[@Webwra]

​@@jackofhearts5542To be fair, in their fight Alastor had a couple of successful hits. If any of them would have been with an angelic blade he could have hurt Adam. But he had to play cat and mouse out of sheer arrogance.

36:30 Nobody knows, thats the point. Nobody makes a decision nobody has the qualifications, they only "Know when a soul comes to them" as Seras said. Thats the terrifying existential point.

[@HaughtyToast]

The fact that the angel army is like, a single platoon, is kind of funny. As for Helluva Boss, don't hold out for any lore specific to Hazbin and its characters. It doesn't spend any time in Pentagram City. The HQ for the main characters is in a different area of The Pride Ring but they mostly spend time in the other rings of Hell or on Earth. Its stories are pretty isolated from Hazbin aside from one plot point in the fifth episode.

[@AZDfox]

Oh crumbs

[@magitek09]

So, in case there was doubt about if Adam and Lute saw each other with contempt. Lute does crying at his dead body does put the matter to rest. Not to mention that in the wiki, on the things that adam hate includes: Hell, Lucifer, jazz and seeing Lute cry. That's why I like those two, there was clearly more to them than what we saw

[@Marauxias]

Now we just have to hope for Adam to return as a sinner in S2 for a full angst character arc for both of them. Going to be hard to keep the exorcist programming and her own views about Demon-Angel relationships being "vile and blasphemous" when Adam is in hell, specially as if it is as it seemed and both cared for each other.

[@NFFCxLCFC]

Did you notice when lucifer met vaggie he looked above her head to look for her halo but then noticed it’s not there

[@Nytesplat]

Another thing, we know for a fact that souls who die and go to heaven appear at the gates, but whatever force decides who goes to heaven specifically sent Sir. Pentious to Sera and Emily

[@peterjackbouteiller2812]

“Adam’s weak, Lute doesn’t care about Adam”…. It’s Opposite Day

[@BGTitanAvatar]

The biggest weakness of this season was the pacing. And I get it, there’s a lot to establish in a first season and when you only have eight episodes? It’s difficult. At least now with season 2 they can maybe slow down a little and the characters can have even just a bit of downtime even if it’s only eight episodes again. That said, I had a blast with this season. The music was great, I love the characters (even if some beats with them were rushed), and I’m looking forward to seeing where they go with it next.

[@SteveMND]

Unfortunately, it feels like "eight episodes a season" (or 6 or 10 or something similar) is becoming the norm with a lot of streaming services nowadays.

[@bryanmoberg8408]

yeah, it very much feels like they expected at least 13 episodes and had to crush their planned story down into 8. With how well the show did, and without an actors strike to interupt production I imagine season 2 will feel a lot better overall. In a recent interview Viv indicated they are recording dialogue for season 2 right now, so it's coming along nicely, the implication was it'd probably come next spring (animation takes around 6 months so it'd be September at the earliest)

[@hi00118]

Nah you weren’t wrong to be afraid for Vaggie. She had so many death flags this season I was certain she’d be the one to die

[@-PIXELATED-]

The fact that very few people noticed the clip of Vox and Valentino making out at the end of the finale song 😭

[@SpitfireFortyFour]

I left a comment a couple episodes about how they absolutely nailed the best two types of villain in this show. But there is a third, the scary badass one. And they hit the spot with that in Lute. She's completely fucking nuts (even by Adams standards), and an absolute monster in a fight. Her tearing off her own arm and then overpowering Vaggie *again* is metal as fuck. Can't wait to see her in S2!

[@FaerieWithAHalo]

One of my favorite things I’ve noticed is that when they are saluting Sir Pentious’ portrait at the end, the line they are singing is ‘though redemption may take a while’

[@jakisgosc7695]

It's kind of sad how much people dislike Adam without knowing what he's really like

[@vegvisir9276]

Pentious genuinely loved everyone at the Hotel, he knew Adam needed to go and he knew trying to take Adam out would likely be the end of him yet he did it anyway, Pentious is one of the bravest characters in anything ever. Definitely my favourite character in Hazbin.

Oh dang, I just randomly searched this up and it’s six minutes since it was released. *The video is so good it sent psychic ripples across KZbin.*

Season 2 has the chance to do the funniest thing ever by having Adam pop up at the Hotel without his powers as a Sinner, and Charlie just has to deal with someone irredeemable actually trying to exploit her kindness, lol!

[@adamk-paxlogan7330Sucks]

I kinda hoping this will happen since I really do belive that they're not done with adam,there's so many things you can have him do as a sinner

[@jazzycakes6294]

The entirety of Hazbin takes place in the pride ring. In Helluva Boss, you see a bit of the other rings, since its focus is more on the hellbornes. The main focus in that show is an imp called Blitzø, who is in a sexual agreement with a Goetian prince named Stolas. Imps are the lowest class of demon, and the Goetias are only below the sins and Lucifer himself. Blitzø runs a business using the prince's spell book, taking jobs from scorned sinners to get their revenge on humans still living on earth. The show's focus is definitely on Blitzø himself. It's silly and graphic, but highly emotional.

[@w98]

The interesting thing about Alastors fight with Adam that people don’t seem to understand is how significant the destruction of his staff is. It’s not just a tool, it’s an extension of himself. His Achilles heel is his resistance to change. The reason why he lost to Adam was that he made no modifications to it in preparation for the battle. Alastor in that way is opposite to Vox where he’s more open to technological advancement. This is definitely a wake up call for Alastor in that he’s going to be forced to make changes or he’ll fade into obscurity. He also no longer has his staff at the end of the episode. We might see him get a new more enhanced staff next season that actually has angelic steel in it because apparently he needs to learn the hard way lol

[@moosuki]

An interesting detail in this episode is Lucifer saying "So this is what you've been up to since Eden?" to Adam which makes me think Lucifer might have sent Lilith in his stead to meet with Adam (hence their deal) just like when he asked Charlie to meet with him...

[@Vitz3001]

Snakes really do have 2. So that wasn't JUST Angel being a good wingman.

[@josephschultz3301]

Emily's massive smile upon seeing Sir Pentious is just the cutest damn thing ever. You can practically see the gears turning in her head, _"OMG OMG OMG, Charlie was right! YES!!!"_

[@ferenczliszt]

The reason Vaggie allowed Lute to live is because Lute ripped off her wings because she was "weak" for sparing a life - that's why she said "correct your mistake" and wanted Vaggie to kill her. Sparing Lute may be a bad idea in the long run, but showing mercy is what separates Vaggie from the other exorcists, so it's a crueler form of revenge on Lute than killing her.

[@Marauxias]

Not only that, but recall Lute's words: "I will kill you now so you don't have to deal with the pain of seeing your demon bitch die!". Welp, Vaggie's cruel revenge of letting Lute survive force her to "deal with the pain of seeing her angel douche die". Charlie&Vaggie are foils to Adam&Lute, and the show is constantly providing evidence of such.

[@Ooh_Donuts]

Even after nifty stabs adam he still manages to smile at lute which means he felt every single one of those other stabs

[@deviltime009]

OMG I just realized how Alastor's having a breakdown over his deal "having a back door" What if his deal was that he had to be the one to kill Adam, and since he couldn't he's forever trapped now

[@UrlocalEkaterino]

The little glitch in Adam's mask is because the deal made with Lucifer was broken. Since he threatened a hellborn (Charlie) when he said "But it's time to die" and that's why Lucifer came immediately Also, while Adam was fighting off Lucifer, you notice that Lucifer wasn't even trying to attack him, he just dodged his attacks and toyed with Adam, until Adam tried attacking Charlie, that's when Lucifer went demon mode on him

[@pie1o1morris46]

Someone pointed out that in one scene before the battle (when Alastor is talking to Nifty on the balcony) you can see Sir Pentious and Charlie talking in the background, and from body language it looks like he was telling her about his feelings for Cherri 🥺❤ so @ 8:16 I think that's Charlie gushing over him trying to confess ❤

[@redmastermind4959]

Best part is: Pentious was teleported directly in front of Sera, instead of at the gates where Charlie and Vaggie started in episode 6. God just told Sera “fuck you; the point of Hell is redemption” I also have a theory that Velvette will leave the Vees. We already saw that she was done with Val and Vox’s bs during her first scene, and she’s also the only one who doesn’t hate anyone directly involved with them hotel. Plus, the hotel probably earned her respect for actually fighting, especially alongside Lucifer himself

[@printedwit]

someone had pointed out that dazzle's death is foreshadowed in ep 05. if you pull up 'hell's greatest dad' and drop to 0:16, the lyric is "usually i charge a sacrificial lamb, but you get the family rate"... and dazzle is strung up, on the table, about to be 'sacrificed'. as another aside, what i'm seeing fairly consistently with the series is that any part of an angelic or sinner's body that is struck with angelic metal - but ONLY angelic metal - disappears forever. vaggie's eye is chopped out and then stabbed with angelic material, and it never comes back. her wings are ripped out (not chopped off), and they come back. pentious is blasted (not struck with angelic metal) and he comes back.... in heaven (let's gooo). my theory is: as long as a sinner doesn't die by angelic weapon, they can ascend to heaven (or slowly pull themselves back together in hell). i'll be waiting to see if lute's arm grows back, as my theory falls apart if it doesn't. we'll see! i also loved this reaction series a lot - thanks for posting these!

I'm kind of surprised at how many people assume that Adam is weak. He's literally leading an army that's been invading hell every year for thousands of years with all the experience that history implies. While it's true that until recently they thought angels invincible against demons, you still wouldn't put a pushover in charge of invading Hell.

[@Gaterman]

What a great show and reaction, I can't wait for you to check out Helluva boss as it adds so much content into hell, its pilot well non-canon is still a good watch. Crossover stuff is rare unfortunately due to legal nonsense but also the shows focus on very different locations in hell, but there are some things in both shows like the sign "Beelzyjuice" at the bar and Valentino's robot "kitty" are connected. 7:37 Husker-dusk is a relationship people have wanted since the pilot, they're definitely a slow burn couple. 7:40 You can actually see in the background before and after here that Charlie, Vaggie, and AngelDust were all on the plan to help Pentious. 9:12 Lol, it may be true as that's standard for snakes but I love that's what gets Cherrybomb interested. 17:08 Alastor occasionally loses the effect at certain emotional moments like this. 17:46 Alastor is very strong for a Sinner but by hell standards he's only middle or upper middle power scale, as the downfall of many he was overconfident in his own abilities and almost died. Lucifer on the other hand absolutely had the ability to screw with Adam and didn't need Charlie's help but it was still nice for her to show off. 21:54 Honestly overall Adam was surprisingly bada**, he took a hit (one of the only in all of his existence) like a champ and beat Charlie, he might have been awful all-round but he was skilled and dangerous and not a wimp. 23:43 Honestly I hate the "spare the villain" thing but both times it wasn't "let us be better" it was "screw you and suffer" energy which I appreciate. 24:06 Angelic steel also makes any injury permanent like Vaggie's eye however her wings came back because they were torn off and the same is true for Lute's arm. 35:49 Seconds later you can see Dazzle's memorial statue, I'm really sad we didn't get a lot with them as he passed too quickly, I hope Lucifer can bring him back since he made them in the first place from Charlie's dolls. 36:41 I don't think there's a God figure so maybe the council which Sera is a part of that controls everthing but beyond that I think it's all run by the natural order of things.

My theory is that Lucifer was watching the battle the entire time in case Charlie needed him but wasn't going to interfere unless necessary because he wanted to let her accomplish this on her own.
