#Adam is a textbook golden child never punished for anything and allowed to get away with everything

It’s like 2 in the morning but here we go! This is probably one of the most anti posts I’ll ever make, I’m generally not the type to post about things I dislike, but this has been on my nerves for a while. Alastor is annoying and the fandom makes it worse.
Like he had the potential to be such a cool character but he kind of comes off as just like, trying too hard to be creepy. Like a middle schooler wanting to be weird and scary and edgy. It’s so obvious to me that all he’s doing is posturing because either he’s that overconfident or he knows he’s outclassed by a lot of people.
The fandom didn’t help with my view of him either. When I was first introduced to Hazbin the people who did so painted a neat picture. I love manipulator characters, watching them pull the strings to make everything fall into place according to their whims is entertaining, so I started out really interested in his character.
Then I started poking around the fandom and found… a bunch of people who fell for his mediocre, middle schooler esc manipulation. (I try not to judge simps since I’m aro and don’t experience those emotions, but some of ya’ll…)
The only time I genuinely enjoyed seeing him on screen was when Adam was beating his ass. Every other time he was just annoying.
Like Adam for example is a horrible person but he’s not annoying, he’s entertaining. Alastor could have been a horrible man but incredibly entertaining, but he’s not.
(Related note, I’ve worked with kids and watching Alastor and Vox fight kind of reminds me of that… Alastor and Lucifer too.)
Okay I’m going to sleep now
#hazbin hotel critical#anti alastor#So much wasted potential#He could have been so cool#Controlling everything from the shadows while simultaneously putting up the mask of someone genuinely interested in the hotel#But noooooo#Instead we get Edgy Red Middle Schooler#I have so many examples of character tropes done right so I know the show can do it#Charlie is a bit of a head in the clouds dreamer who is learning to keep her feet a bit more firmly on the ground#Vaggie has a traumatizing past that paints her every decision and makes her feel worthless#Adam is a textbook golden child never punished for anything and allowed to get away with everything#Sera is deeply flawed and did the wrong things for what she believed to be the right reasons#So many good characters who are entertaining to watch!#And then you have… Alastor.
