Dub thoughts

I have thoughts on Hazbin Hotel, but for now I will focus on the Dub situation. I hate my friend for pointing out that Angel Dust shares a German VA with Timmy Turner (from Fairly Odd Parents). Because it is so cursed.

In addition: The usage of German "formal you" will always kick specifically, especially when Alastor adresses Lucifer with a "formal you" meant for strangers, but he does not use the formalities (or the formal you) reserved for royalty/rulers/monarchs/rulers.

On the one side it implies a lack of respect, but at the same time it shows he is actively distancing and technically still respectful, and putting Lucifer down at the same time which is hilarious.

Also the profanities, swearing and insults hit better for me in German dialog, especially some of the terrible sex jokes. Also just... the passive aggressiveness is fantastically delivered. I think German Dub is very solid, songs are probably gonna be hit and miss for many folks, but I am happy they got dubbed
