Helluva Boss HATES Women — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Hell of a boss.
2. 0:01Women. Okay, that's an exaggeration. But
3. 0:04I mean in the sense that despite the
4. 0:05fact that the show's female cast is
5. 0:07incredibly important to the overall
6. 0:09story and dynamic of everything, they
7. 0:11are so unbelievably dry and
8. 0:13underdeveloped. With a lot of what could
9. 0:15be good moments for them just being
10. 0:17disregarded and given to their male
11. 0:19cast. So today, I'm going to go through
12. 0:21all the episodes, point out everything
13. 0:22that happens involving the characters I
14. 0:24want to talk about, and occasionally
15. 0:25give out my points more clearly.
16. 0:28Mission is zero.
17. 0:32Here we meet IMP or I.M.P. So our first
18. 0:34two primary characters to talk about are
19. 0:36Millie and Loona. Millie is Moxxie's
20. 0:38rough and tough southern wife with an
21. 0:39urge to kill, and Loona is Blitz's
22. 0:4122-year-old rough around the edges
23. 0:42rebellious daughter. I don't have
24. 0:44anything to say about these two
25. 0:45characters here considering this is just
26. 0:46exposition. It's boring for everybody.
27. 0:49Not a single character here gets
28. 0:50anything, so there's not a real problem.
29. 0:54Murder family.
30. 0:57I like Ms. Mayberry. I think she's neat.
31. 0:59She's just a plot device, so obviously
32. 1:01not a lot to say about her good or bad,
33. 1:03but I like her design both in and out of
34. 1:05hell. Same with Martha since the big
35. 1:06thing is her whole family is insane
36. 1:08including her. So again, not a lot to
37. 1:10say about her. This whole episode is
38. 1:12Moxxie being a wuss with Millie
39. 1:13encouraging him. Loona saves the show
40. 1:15and then they go to Earth where Moxxie
41. 1:16promptly
42. 1:18sells the entire mission. Later on,
43. 1:20Millie tries to take her one-on-one and
44. 1:21gets obliterated. Millie and Blitz are
45. 1:23get captured and saved by Moxxie who
46. 1:25decides to clutch up and guess what? Do
47. 1:28his job. And they all go home with
48. 1:29Moxxie learning his lesson somewhat.
49. 1:33Loo Loo Land.
50. 1:37Here we get introduced to Stolas and his
51. 1:38daughter Octavia and their relationship.
52. 1:40And we're also introduced to Stolas's
53. 1:42wife Stella who is very very very angry
54. 1:46at him. But I'd like to say that Stella
55. 1:47is not entirely unjustified at least at
56. 1:49this point in her hate for Stolas since
57. 1:51Stolas isn't a good person either in my
58. 1:54opinion. But over time,
59. 1:56Stella for reasons that are very poor,
60. 1:59does become the worst of the two. It's
61. 2:01also made clear that Octavia isn't too
62. 2:02fond of her family, not her mom nor her
63. 2:04dad. And Stolas doesn't really treat her
64. 2:06as her age. Octavia's a bit of an angsty
65. 2:09teen and a bit rough around the edges,
66. 2:10but not in the same vein as Loona and
67. 2:12definitely not for the same reasons.
68. 2:14Moxxie and Millie have their little dumb
69. 2:16B plot of just playing arcade games
70. 2:17while Moxxie tries to prove himself. And
71. 2:20I mean, it's cute, I guess. Then we're
72. 2:22given the possible reasons Octavia
73. 2:24hasn't shown up back at this park since
74. 2:26she was a kid such as the trauma with
75. 2:27the Fizzarolli robot, and Stolas doesn't
76. 2:30really care. [ __ ] Stolas. Octavia gets
77. 2:32rightfully frustrated at this and runs
78. 2:34off. In fact, I just want to say this. I
79. 2:36don't ever really have an issue with
80. 2:38Octavia ever. I think she's a good
81. 2:40character, and I think that she's right
82. 2:41in how she feels. Everything around her
83. 2:43does suck. Octavia and Stolas have a
84. 2:45heart-to-heart and she expresses her
85. 2:47issues and frustrations with him. [ __ ]
86. 2:49Stolas.
87. 2:52Spring broken.
88. 2:55We get introduced to Verosika, Blitz's
89. 2:57ex. And I'm going to be honest, for as
90. 2:59much as an antagonist as she is, she's
91. 3:01just mean. That's That's really it. But
92. 3:03that's because she's an archetype than
93. 3:05anything else. I don't think it's bad
94. 3:06writing. We also meet Vortex. He will
95. 3:09come back. Moxxie gets assaulted. You
96. 3:12know, they they do just kind of like
97. 3:13brush over this stuff sometimes. Loona
98. 3:15makes a good point and carries the
99. 3:16episode's mission on her back and then
100. 3:18sells. I don't blame her for wanting to,
101. 3:19you know, at least enjoy her time up
102. 3:21here. Unlike Blitz, Moxxie and Millie
103. 3:23decide to actually do their job, but due
104. 3:25to being mistaken for a rodent, he gets
105. 3:27completely wasted and it's now up to
106. 3:29Millie to carry the entire team on her
107. 3:31back. Millie has her moment here, and
108. 3:33trust me, you will not be getting a lot
109. 3:35of these moments. And when she does,
110. 3:37they're not nearly as complex or
111. 3:39in-depth as other characters' moments.
112. 3:41Again, near the end, Verosika is shown
113. 3:43to kind of be the antagonist they took
114. 3:45down, but overall, she is just mean and
115. 3:47that's it. She's not really unjustified
116. 3:49in being mean either.
117. 3:53Cherub.
118. 3:59Okay, look. I'll let me admit nothing
119. 4:00really happens this episode. It's just
120. 4:02Cherub versus I.M.P. The only detail I
121. 4:05could give is it's just more of Moxxie
122. 4:06and Millie being a power couple, and
123. 4:08you're going to notice that Millie
124. 4:09doesn't really get a lot of these solo
125. 4:11moments to herself.
126. 4:14Harvest Moon.
127. 4:17Oh oh do I have a lot to say about this
128. 4:20episode. This is an episode centered
129. 4:22around the place Millie grew up with her
130. 4:24parents. Certainly, she has a lot to
131. 4:27going on, right? Well, first, Millie's
132. 4:29parents don't really approve of Moxxie
133. 4:30too much. And the episode's plot
134. 4:32involving him and Millie is about him
135. 4:33proving himself to her family, and
136. 4:35Millie is just
137. 4:37there.
138. 4:38Yeah, for some reason this episode isn't
139. 4:40actually about her in really any way if
140. 4:43I had to be honest. But at the end,
141. 4:45Millie does come in to try and save
142. 4:46Moxxie. Again, she's given a moment, and
143. 4:49once M and M are in the cellar, it's
144. 4:52Moxxie who gets out and has to save the
145. 4:55day. Are we [ __ ] serious right now?
146. 4:58Really? That That's it? Oh yeah, Stella
147. 5:01put a hit out on her husband.
148. 5:04Truth seekers.
149. 5:07We meet my favorite duo of the entire
150. 5:09show, and as far as I know, they don't
151. 5:11have actual names. But hey, Millie and
152. 5:13Loona get a B plot, and I really like
153. 5:15this one much more than Millie's
154. 5:17previous one and Loona's. With Moxxie
155. 5:19and Blitz getting caught, it sets up a
156. 5:20genuinely good side plot of Millie and
157. 5:22Loona working together as a dynamic duo
158. 5:24to save them. I wouldn't say it expands
159. 5:26on Millie's character at all, and I'll
160. 5:28get more into that later, but I do think
161. 5:29it expands on Loona presenting that for
162. 5:31however much of a front she puts on, she
163. 5:33does care about those around her at IMP
164. 5:35and the people she works with.
165. 5:39Ozzies.
166. 5:42[ __ ] Stolas. This episode on the Millie
167. 5:44and Moxxie side of things is just them
168. 5:46on a cute date. Verosika shows up, and
169. 5:47again, the show tries to play her as an
170. 5:49ass, and it works. But also, we're not
171. 5:51given any actual reason to resent her
172. 5:53the way Blitz does. And that's really
173. 5:54all there is to say about this one.
174. 5:58Queen Bee.
175. 6:01Holy [ __ ] this is a Loona extravaganza
176. 6:04of an episode. Here we get to see her in
177. 6:05the party that Vortex invited her to.
178. 6:07And we also get to meet Beelzebub, and
179. 6:09she's really really really boring. I'm
180. 6:12not going to lie to you. In this
181. 6:13episode, we get to see the more insecure
182. 6:15parts of Loona. She's rather nervous
183. 6:16around this new crowd of people, mainly
184. 6:19because of Vortex. And it's a nice
185. 6:20change of pace from her usual loud and
186. 6:22rude personality. But other than that,
187. 6:23we get some insight on Loona and Blitz's
188. 6:25father-daughter relationship and how at
189. 6:27her core, Loona does care about him. And
190. 6:28Loona does have trust in him. And then,
191. 6:31he ruins it.
192. 6:33>> [sighs]
193. 6:33>> Overall, I like this episode for her.
194. 6:35It's kind of boring because at its core,
195. 6:36it is a Blitz episode, but I think it
196. 6:38characterizes her much better than the
197. 6:40previous seven episodes. Did you include
198. 6:42the episode zero or the pilot?
199. 6:47The circus.
200. 6:50Stella's back, and she's just a lot more
201. 6:52stereotypically evil. But only to
202. 6:54justify Stolas who sucks, and that's
203. 6:56kind of it. This is going to be a really
204. 6:59really reoccurring issue that I have
205. 7:00mainly with Stella's character where she
206. 7:02barely gets any screen time, but every
207. 7:04time we do see her, she's just more
208. 7:06cartoonishly evil to make us want to
209. 7:08side with Stolas. Because as we learn
210. 7:10more and more about the idiot and pretty
211. 7:11incompetent person that is Stolas,
212. 7:13Stella magically just decides to get 20
213. 7:15times more evil.
214. 7:19Seeing stars.
215. 7:22Octavia alert. Finally, and again, [ __ ]
216. 7:25Stolas. But also, Octavia is again, in
217. 7:27my opinion, perfectly justified in how
218. 7:29she acts. I think she actually is a
219. 7:31really good character, okay? Whereas
220. 7:33clickbaity as the title of this video
221. 7:35is, a lot of my issues have to do with
222. 7:36the lack of screen time and character
223. 7:37changes like Stella, or a lack of
224. 7:39character change with a lot of screen
225. 7:41time like Millie. We open the I.M.P.
226. 7:43doing their usual thing and Octavia
227. 7:45sneaking off onto Earth. And let me tell
228. 7:48you, they give Octavia the most fun and
229. 7:50enjoyable screen time this episode
230. 7:52possible. It's Octavia walking around LA
231. 7:55with Loona trying to track her.
232. 7:57Meanwhile, Blitz and Stolas get actual
233. 8:01genuine plot and character depth added
234. 8:03to them.
235. 8:04But this episode does give us more
236. 8:07actual insight on how Loona is a
237. 8:09competent member of the team. This
238. 8:11episode gives us more insight on how
239. 8:12Loona, while again rude and rather
240. 8:15unashamed of herself at times and treats
241. 8:17her coworkers like garbage, is a
242. 8:19competent worker and she does do a lot
243. 8:21of things to help out. Again, I like
244. 8:23this episode. I do have annoyance in the
245. 8:25fact that I think Octavia gets the worst
246. 8:27screen time out of the bunch. Not that
247. 8:29it's the least amount, but rather that
248. 8:31it's not a lot of anything compared to
249. 8:34what Blitz and Stolas gets. But also,
250. 8:36the scene between Loona and Octavia is
251. 8:38really nice. I'm not going to try to
252. 8:39deny that. Another small annoyance is
253. 8:41how Loona's backstory is thrown in here
254. 8:43for Blitz's sake and given no
255. 8:44independence. It's just a little
256. 8:46annoying.
257. 8:49Exes and O's.
258. 8:52Oh my gosh.
259. 8:55>> [sighs]
260. 8:57>> Millie walks in and is pissed due to
261. 8:59seeing an ex. Wow, really on the nose,
262. 9:02aren't we? The main thing I want to take
263. 9:04from this episode is the fact that it's
264. 9:05an episode on the place Moxxie grew up
265. 9:08in involving people in his life, and it
266. 9:11does it just focus on someone else. So
267. 9:14what was up with Harvest Moon and Seeing
268. 9:16Stars? Clearly, we can write an episode
269. 9:18focused on solely one character's life
270. 9:21and upbringing and their emotional
271. 9:22weights.
272. 9:25Interlude.
273. 9:28Now, I want to frame real quick
274. 9:30something I call the Millie problem.
275. 9:32Whereas in, she exists solely as one of
276. 9:34three things in the show.
277. 9:36One, a very aggressive and murderous
278. 9:39woman. Two, Moxxie's loving wife. Or
279. 9:41three, Moxxie's loving and murderous
280. 9:44wife. That's it. Millie doesn't have any
281. 9:47character outside of being aggressive
282. 9:49and married or being compassionate.
283. 9:52That's her only two traits. Again,
284. 9:55Harvest Moon, an episode on her home
285. 9:58turf, an episode with her family, an
286. 10:00episode where everything basically is
287. 10:02associated with her. She doesn't get any
288. 10:05development in at all. In fact, she
289. 10:07doesn't get development in like any of
290. 10:09these episodes except for one that's
291. 10:11coming up soon. And yes, you can argue
292. 10:13that she isn't a main character, then
293. 10:15why does a Moxie get a self-centered
294. 10:17episode? Why does a Luna? Why does
295. 10:19Octavia kind of get one? Why doesn't
296. 10:21Millie get anything?
297. 10:24[ __ ] turn energy.
298. 10:27More of Stella just being cartoonishly
299. 10:29insane and evil all of a sudden in
300. 10:31comparison to her somewhat justified
301. 10:33rage from the start. Also, [ __ ] Stolas.
302. 10:36Anyways, Luna gets a shot and M&M gets
303. 10:38to show off as a power couple with them
304. 10:40searching all around for Striker and
305. 10:41Stolas. Stella continues just being more
306. 10:44and more and more evil. Again, the more
307. 10:47evil she is, the easier it is to side
308. 10:49with Stolas. But I would like to say,
309. 10:51props to Stella's voice actor. She's
310. 10:53amazing because she really really plays
311. 10:55that whole super whiny and annoying
312. 10:57character trope really well. M&M gets
313. 11:00Striker and they have a chance to kill
314. 11:02him. Yeah, you heard it before. And
315. 11:04that's about it for this one.
316. 11:08Unhappy campers.
317. 11:11Oh, I dislike this episode so much.
318. 11:15Mainly because they butcher my dog, my
319. 11:17hombre Moxie. As much as I hate this
320. 11:20show, this guy is me. I've decided for
321. 11:22the rest of [music] my life. This
322. 11:24episode is 20 minutes of M&M except it's
323. 11:26just about Moxie being petty. But I also
324. 11:28find Millie's I'm important speech
325. 11:30really funny because on a level of
326. 11:32characters that are important in this
327. 11:33show, the writers just cast her aside
328. 11:35constantly. Also, we meet Blitz's sister
329. 11:38who we don't get a lot on, so I don't
330. 11:39have anything to say about her. But
331. 11:41that's kind of it. It's an M&M episode
332. 11:43but mainly about Moxie being petty.
333. 11:48Oops.
334. 11:52Good episode, just doesn't have any of
335. 11:54the characters talking about.
336. 11:57I'm not saying this title.
337. 12:01Same as last episode, but I will admit,
338. 12:04I kind of like this show's musical
339. 12:06sequences at times. I'm not going to
340. 12:07lie.
341. 12:10The full moon.
342. 12:13This episode's opening is really really
343. 12:16good. I listen to it on repeat
344. 12:17sometimes. Also, what else to say? [ __ ]
345. 12:20Stolas. We get caught back up with my
346. 12:22favorite duo and Cherub and Imp have a
347. 12:25fight.
348. 12:25That's it.
349. 12:29Apology tour.
350. 12:32What's important to mention here? The
351. 12:35lesbians. And also, this episode really
352. 12:38characterizes and humanizes Verosika
353. 12:40really really well. I actually really
354. 12:43love what they do with her character
355. 12:45here. They take her from this somewhat
356. 12:47reoccurring antagonist in Blitz's life
357. 12:49to a genuinely likable character that
358. 12:51you want to kind of see more of. So, you
359. 12:54know what? I'll give them a point. I
360. 12:56think this is a good character. I think
361. 12:57her turnaround is amazing.
362. 13:01The ghost [ __ ]
363. 13:05What a good episode for everyone but
364. 13:07Millie. But at least at least she gets
365. 13:10something this episode such as a greater
366. 13:13show into her less aggressive and more
367. 13:14compassionate side for her friends and
368. 13:16not just Moxie. Also, holy [ __ ] Brandon
369. 13:19Rogers, I love you. Millie is showing
370. 13:22here to be a lot calmer and great in
371. 13:24emotionally being there for her friends
372. 13:25and loved ones. So, Millie has been
373. 13:27shown to us but not nearly to this
374. 13:29extent. We get backstory on how Imp
375. 13:31formed or IMP and how everyone met and
376. 13:34it's really sweet. It's cool. It's And
377. 13:36it also gives us a bit of Millie's
378. 13:37backstory as well. We also get this
379. 13:39whole conversation between Millie and
380. 13:41Blitz and I love the irony of this line
381. 13:43of it's all I'm good for when she talks
382. 13:44about how Imp served more than just
383. 13:46muscle and grunts. When I mean, she
384. 13:49hardly has progressed from being more
385. 13:51than that in this show. And that's
386. 13:53really it. Again, for an episode about
387. 13:56Millie and someone else, Millie gets so
388. 13:58little anything. Similar to Unhappy
389. 14:00Campers or even Harvest Moon.
390. 14:05Interlude.
391. 14:08Again, something I have issue with is
392. 14:10the aforementioned Millie problem.
393. 14:11Millie gets episodes where she is very
394. 14:13important but also somehow nothing gets
395. 14:15added to her character. Harvest Moon,
396. 14:17Unhappy Campers, Ghost [ __ ] I mean,
397. 14:19I liked Ghost [ __ ] but my main issue
398. 14:21is that we already knew Millie could be
399. 14:23compassionate. It's not like we never
400. 14:25knew that about her. Expanded upon it is
401. 14:28neater but doesn't make up for the fact
402. 14:29that this is the first time this show
403. 14:31has put actual thought into her
404. 14:32character. I have issues with Luna, too.
405. 14:35Because her backstory was just
406. 14:37shoehorned in there and never elaborated
407. 14:39on afterwards. And Stella is just
408. 14:43I mean, she is super evil but it's not
409. 14:46well written. She's just evil. And she's
410. 14:49only so evil because they want you to
411. 14:52like Stolas.
412. 14:55Mastermind.
413. 14:58Stolas' episode.
414. 15:00That's about it.
415. 15:03Sinsmas.
416. 15:07This episode,
417. 15:08I actually like it on a rewatch. More
418. 15:10Octavia. [ __ ] Stolas. But a little tiny
419. 15:13bit less now as we get more development
420. 15:15of Octavia's side of things who, despite
421. 15:18overhearing what her mother is talking
422. 15:19about, sings a song about not feeling if
423. 15:21Stolas really loves her. And again,
424. 15:23another show that Stella is just evil.
425. 15:27Like really really evil. The gang goes
426. 15:29on a hit and share a sweet moment,
427. 15:30especially Luna and Blitz. And Millie is
428. 15:32oddly aggressive towards her peers. I
429. 15:35sure hope this develops into a genuinely
430. 15:36good plot point for her and isn't just
431. 15:38used to introduce the most stupid and
432. 15:39idiotic thing this show has ever shown.
433. 15:42But Luna development. She's a lot more
434. 15:43of a character here than in the other
435. 15:45episodes and she gets an upscale. Some
436. 15:47more Octavia and I'm going to be honest,
437. 15:49I understand her angle here. But also,
438. 15:52come on, dude. You know who your mom is.
439. 15:56Why won't you just let him explain like
440. 15:58a tiny bit? Oh, and Millie's pregnant, I
441. 16:01guess or something.
442. 16:05Shorts.
443. 16:08Did I mention Helluva has shorts, too?
444. 16:10I'm going to be honest, I only have a
445. 16:12few things to say about them.
446. 16:14Okay. One, shout out all my trans
447. 16:16homies. Number two, more Moxie focus,
448. 16:19oddly. And three, for a short series
449. 16:22about different characters and things,
450. 16:25there is a short on Millie's sister with
451. 16:27Millie in it but not a short about
452. 16:30Millie herself.
453. 16:33Interlude.
454. 16:37Rather than just throw together a bunch
455. 16:38of jumbled plots and points, I'm going
456. 16:40to instead move everything into four
457. 16:42separate sections: Millie, Luna,
458. 16:44Octavia, and Stella.
459. 16:48The Millie problem.
460. 16:51Could you name a time when Millie got
461. 16:53genuine growth and development in the
462. 16:55entire show? Or a moment where she had a
463. 16:57lot of focus and emotional depth? Maybe
464. 16:59once or twice but one of those moments
465. 17:02is literally the last episode of that
466. 17:04out of the entire show so far. This is
467. 17:06one of my favorite characters in this
468. 17:08show but oh my gosh, they must hate her
469. 17:11in the writers' room because why in the
470. 17:13world is she not getting an ounce of
471. 17:15development or anything throughout the
472. 17:17entire show? Firstly, the entire show
473. 17:20she remains as again three things:
474. 17:22Moxie's wife, an angry, murderous, and
475. 17:24cruel woman, and Moxie's murderous,
476. 17:26cruel, and angry wife. Only until Ghost
477. 17:29[ __ ] does she truly get a fourth
478. 17:31thing, being a good friend. But it's not
479. 17:33even that new to us. She has shown
480. 17:35previously that she is emotionally
481. 17:36available, that she isn't just a killer.
482. 17:39And yet, every ounce of her screen time
483. 17:41is either sucking up to Moxie, killing
484. 17:44someone, or doing something with or for
485. 17:46someone where she isn't the more
486. 17:48prominent of the two. I mean, come on,
487. 17:50she doesn't do anything for herself in
488. 17:52this show. She has no independence in
489. 17:54her actions as a character. I would make
490. 17:56the argument that she barely is a
491. 17:58character outside of being Moxie's wife
492. 18:00and Blitz's friend, which is made even
493. 18:02worse when you compare episodes like
494. 18:04Harvest Moon to Exes and Ohs. In both
495. 18:06episodes, it's taking place in each of
496. 18:08the M&M's respective rings where they
497. 18:10grew up. And yet, both center around
498. 18:13Moxie. In Ghost [ __ ] she exists as
499. 18:15Blitz's emotional support and muscle.
500. 18:17Hell, in every episode she's prominent
501. 18:19in, she's either there to just be the
502. 18:21muscle or to keep Moxie in check. And to
503. 18:24just rub salt right into the wound,
504. 18:27she's now pregnant. There's nothing
505. 18:29wrong with that fact. Not at all. That's
506. 18:31not the issue in and of itself. It's
507. 18:33just that so far Millie is just Moxie's
508. 18:35wife. And now she's going to be a
509. 18:37possible mother. That's kind of it for
510. 18:40her character. She is so unbelievably
511. 18:42two-dimensional. And yet, she's also one
512. 18:45of the core cast. I mean, I would argue
513. 18:47that Sally May is a more built-up
514. 18:49character than her. It feels like a lot
515. 18:51of the overall issue with Millie is that
516. 18:53they write her from the perspective of
517. 18:54how do we make her a more interesting
518. 18:56wife and not how do we make her a more
519. 18:58interesting character? A lot of her
520. 18:59faults are because her moments always
521. 19:01have to involve somebody close to her.
522. 19:04She can't just breathe on her own. A lot
523. 19:06of her moments are stuff that involve
524. 19:08her relationship with Moxie or with
525. 19:09Blitz but also because Blitz got her
526. 19:11with Moxie. She's a character that has
527. 19:13not been written into a corner and is
528. 19:14incredibly frustrating. People will
529. 19:17argue that Millie doesn't need a big
530. 19:19moment to have a lot of character but I
531. 19:20think it's incredibly dumb. That don't
532. 19:22mean Millie is fully developed as a
533. 19:24character and doesn't have to change or
534. 19:25be expanded upon. But a character that
535. 19:27starts off at their final point is
536. 19:29incredibly boring when they're set in a
537. 19:31constantly moving world where everyone
538. 19:33else gets a big moment, a self-centered
539. 19:35adventure. And even then, that only
540. 19:38really works if the character is
541. 19:39supposed to be some kind of mentor
542. 19:40figure that is supposed to be developed.
543. 19:43And it's so annoying how in Sinsmas, she
544. 19:45cracks. She gets genuinely frustrated
545. 19:47and upset for the first time really
546. 19:49ever, showing that maybe she bottles up
547. 19:51her emotions, Maybe she plays a
548. 19:53character to feel stronger when she is
549. 19:55secretly vulnerable and emotional. Maybe
550. 19:57that's why she helps others because she
551. 19:58can't help herself. Maybe it's something
552. 20:00good and it's because she's pregnant. I
553. 20:03don't want to sit here and try to sound
554. 20:04like some kind of nice guy feminist, you
555. 20:06know, tip my fedora to you, but I mean,
556. 20:08come on. These characters undeniably are
557. 20:11so much more lackluster. The female cast
558. 20:14of this show is undeniably just boring
559. 20:16and flat and a really lame get rid of
560. 20:19the male cast.
561. 20:22Luna is actually good, question mark?
562. 20:26Admittedly, I don't have too many issues
563. 20:27with Luna. I think she gets good enough
564. 20:30development and again, my biggest gripe
565. 20:32is one thing. They introduced her
566. 20:33backstory of being in like a pound
567. 20:35adoption center and yeah, it explains
568. 20:38her personality and stuff, but it was
569. 20:39shown to be really crucial to her
570. 20:41character. So, could we please talk
571. 20:43about it more maybe? Again, this is more
572. 20:46of a writing issue in general, not just
573. 20:47a Luna thing and obviously, I'm not
574. 20:49being genuine. I don't think they hate
575. 20:51women. These are just gaps in the
576. 20:52writing that exist and I want to make a
577. 20:54video on the male cast and female cast,
578. 20:56so
579. 20:57it was a really good title. I think the
580. 20:59real big issue is just the show focuses
581. 21:01too much on Stolas to the point where
582. 21:03these other characters can't shine at
583. 21:05all. But I think compared to Millie,
584. 21:07Luna is headed in a really good
585. 21:08direction for her character. I mean, the
586. 21:10show near the end of its second season
587. 21:12actually does develop her in a way I
588. 21:13really do like. She's more forgiving and
589. 21:15caring of Blitz and in general, the
590. 21:17people around her, making her a nicer
591. 21:19character, but doesn't give up the
592. 21:20rougher edges she has and probably will
593. 21:23keep.
594. 21:25Octavia is okay,
595. 21:29I don't have a lot to talk about here. I
596. 21:30think she's cool for how little screen
597. 21:32time she has. She has really good
598. 21:34characterization and depth. My only
599. 21:36issue is the last episode that's out so
600. 21:38far. For some reason just makes her out
601. 21:40to be a little dumb. [music] Like you
602. 21:42know how your mom is, you overheard the
603. 21:44arguments and stuff. You literally saw
604. 21:45your dad almost get killed and you're
605. 21:47not going to let him explain? Again, I
606. 21:49think Stolas sucks, that's a whole
607. 21:51another topic. But like, come on, you're
608. 21:52not going to give him like a chance,
609. 21:54like a a tiny small chance? I understand
610. 21:57it's for plot and it's, you know, going
611. 21:59to progress the story and stuff. It just
612. 22:01feels a little arbitrary is all. But if
613. 22:03I'm missing some key crucial detail
614. 22:05here, please do tell me. It just feels
615. 22:06like the Helluva Boss I watched didn't
616. 22:08give her enough reason to do that.
617. 22:12Stella is boring and lazy.
618. 22:16This is a whole other can of worms,
619. 22:17okay? Because a lot of my gripes with
620. 22:19her are because of Stolas and how they
621. 22:21justify him. So, for me to really get my
622. 22:23opinion out correctly, I'd have to talk
623. 22:25about Stolas, too. And I'm not doing
624. 22:27that right now. But every time we see
625. 22:29Stella, she is just more cartoonishly
626. 22:31over the top evil. It's become her whole
627. 22:33thing. It's annoying to know that it's
628. 22:34because they want Stolas to be the more
629. 22:36likable of the two. As long as you can
630. 22:38hate Stella, you can at least like
631. 22:40Stolas. It's arbitrary and I think it's
632. 22:43incredibly shallow for a character that
633. 22:44is made up to be a major antagonist to
634. 22:46be this incredibly boring and basic.
635. 22:50Retrospect.
636. 22:54Now, you might be saying, "Well, Omni,
637. 22:55this doesn't sound too bad. I think
638. 22:56you're being a whiny baby about it." And
639. 22:58you're right, but at the same time,
640. 23:00these characters are again actually
641. 23:02important to the plot of the show in
642. 23:04each of their own ways. They are crucial
643. 23:06to certain things and yet they don't get
644. 23:08nearly as much development as anyone
645. 23:10else. Even Moxxie gets a lot. My issue
646. 23:13is that the show has completely stopped
647. 23:14being about IMP and it's just what's
648. 23:16Blitz [music] going to do today while
649. 23:17neglecting some of its side cast.
650. 23:19Except for Moxxie. And it's infuriating.
651. 23:22Now, I'm not a hell of a fan. I'm
652. 23:24actually very, very against this show. I
653. 23:26just don't like it. I think it's bad.
654. 23:28And I understand that my opinion is
655. 23:30skewed. No matter how unbiased I think I
656. 23:33am, I understand to an extent I am
657. 23:35biased. I just think the show writes
658. 23:36itself into these corners with their
659. 23:38characters and those characters tend to
660. 23:39be the female cast. Meanwhile, their
661. 23:41male characters are just getting so much
662. 23:44depth. Characters like Asmodeus are
663. 23:45characterized in their entirety and
664. 23:47given more depth than characters like
665. 23:48Millie. Characters like Stella. And then
666. 23:50you have characters like Fizz, who yes,
667. 23:52are more important [music] to the plot
668. 23:54because of who they connect to, but have
669. 23:55the same level of screen time I feel
670. 23:57like as characters like Millie. Does
671. 23:59Helluva Boss actually hate women? No.
672. 24:02Does Helluva Boss clearly put less time
673. 24:04and effort into their female cast? Yeah.
674. 24:06Does that make the male cast better? No.
675. 24:09Yeah, kind of. For every Blitz and
676. 24:11Stolas you get, you also get a Fizz, a
677. 24:13character who is actually really, really
678. 24:15good in like every aspect. At the very
679. 24:18least, the male cast gets a lot more
680. 24:20care into their writing and are
681. 24:22characterized beyond having like three
682. 24:24personality traits. Overall, it is just
683. 24:27going to be waiting for season 3 and
684. 24:29seeing what happens. But oh boy, they
685. 24:31could really prove their incompetence
686. 24:33when it comes to characters like Millie.
687. 24:36Hey, wait, before you click off, I have
688. 24:38something important to say. Please just
689. 24:40stick around for a little bit. Right
690. 24:42now, I'm looking for a job, and
691. 24:43obviously, but not only because I'm just
692. 24:4517 and want to start working, but
693. 24:47because of familial issues. My family is
694. 24:49in a really tight spot right now. You
695. 24:51see, my dad is a truck driver and while
696. 24:53that job does pay a lot of money, that's
697. 24:56only when you're really able to actually
698. 24:58start doing it for a lot of time. And my
699. 25:00dad's truck, not only is the fuel like
700. 25:03$300 a day to fill up, but it keeps
701. 25:06breaking down and we are sinking
702. 25:08thousands, I think at least over $5,000
703. 25:11we don't have into fixing this truck
704. 25:14over and over so he can work. And all I
705. 25:17ask is
706. 25:18please basically like share this video.
707. 25:21Not just like, don't just subscribe.
708. 25:23Obviously, do that. But if you have a
709. 25:24friend who you think would like this
710. 25:26stuff, show them it. Because if I can
711. 25:28make videos and work, I can provide a
712. 25:32lot more to my family [music] and help
713. 25:35out a lot more. Because obviously, if my
714. 25:37father isn't working, that leaves only
715. 25:39my mom who has to take care of me and my
716. 25:42niece, mostly my niece and she can't
717. 25:45work full-time and do that and I can't
718. 25:47work full-time since I'm going to be
719. 25:48going to college, so
720. 25:50please, just
721. 25:52show people this video. [music] Just
722. 25:55help me get something out of this so
723. 25:57that way it's worth the time, which I
724. 26:00understand is a bit greedy, but I really
725. 26:03have no other way than this as a hobby
726. 26:06that could produce me more money to help
727. 26:08out my family right now.
