Helluva Boss Season 2: SINSMAS SPOILERS SEASON FINALE⚠️❗

(TW!: OPINION AND BAD ENGLISH)

Ok ok ok

This chapter was interesting

To be honest, I liked it as a season finale, and as a Christmas episode.

The concept of Christmas in Hell (Sinsmas) seems interesting to me, although it seems that the royal demons do not know about this celebration.

I wonder if they will bring back Sinsmas for another Christmas episode (maybe even for Hazbin Hotel) because I found the concept interesting.

That Stolas is now living among the imps seems fair to me (after all, he always had classist behaviors)

Ok, That thing about the foreshadowing (it's definitely that) of the Stolitz family, I honestly bet it has another context than the whole Stolitz situation. It's not going to make me like that ship.

(Edited: About what I said before it was more about my dislike of the ship, but seeing a little more I think this scene reflects more about how Blitz wants a family)

Octavia has every right to be angry with Stolas and sink into this. (It is literally reflected in her song)

Ok, now we can give Stella that backstory they said, because at this point she's just a crazy bitch really. (I'm not saying I want someone redeemable, I just want a more interesting villain. She has potential but even Andrealphus is more interesting than her)

Stolas beating Andrealphus' fucking ass is the best thing he's done this entire season

The fight animation was great

Octavia not leaving with Stolas in the finale is the best thing they did. I want them separated for a long time.

When it was shown that Millie is pregnant, it blew my mind and I had to process all of this (There are literally a ton of possibilities about this and I also think it's interesting for Millie's character)

That Blitz hugging Stolas at the end is much better than a kiss (I would have removed the video if that happened)

That Stolas is taking the blame for what happened with Octavia and not involving Blitz in this, seems to me to be a good step forward for his character.

Anyway, I really don't care what happens with Stolitz.

I think it's a good end to the season. I hope the next season surpasses this one by far, honestly.

Anyway, until next time (or until they release the second season of Hazbin Hotel first)

Happy Holidays 🦾

Full Moon

Thoughts and Review- these notes are a combination of my initial reactions to the episodes and some more thought-out critiques

Formatted chronologically, organized by scene. Overall Thoughts are at the bottom

.・。.・゜✭・.

Stolitz Duet

Seems like Stolas is understanding his role in manipulating Blitz, the power differential, and Blitz’s discomfort

Blitz seems to use his sexuality to mask his nervousness- personally, I think most of his nerves are attributed to feeling indebted to Stolas, having mixed feelings about their relationship and his growing feelings, as well as his job security with Stolas still supplying him with the grimoire

Furthering Stolas’s hesitation of giving Blitz the Crystal, but knowing it is something that needs to be done- so far looking like good character development

Taking note of Stolas being out of his medications, unsure if that information will actually be important and referenced again or if it’ll be forgotten; regardless, that context doesn’t excuse Stolas’s later actions

CHERUBS

Glad they’re being utilized again

Is Colin new? He seems to know less than Cletus and Keenie and is more easily manipulated- this also seemed to be the case in C.H.E.R.U.B 

 Good to see Agents 1 and 2 again

Office

Finally, more crumbs of the IMP business

Blitz clearly states how he’s wanted a break from Stolas and has been taking advantage of Stolas being more lenient with the deal- Blitz is prioritizing his comfort- with, seemingly, Stolas’s “permission”

When Loona makes her comments about Stolas getting bored of Blitz, his first thought is that he’s going to lose his ticket to the Overworld, jeopardizing his company and employees- another product of the unhealthy power differential between Stolas and Blitz

The “overdue paperwork” gag made me giggle

Interrogation Room/DHORKS HQ

The Cherub/Dhorks team-up makes sense; I’m just really not that interested in it- they allude to bigger issues of the government being involved, but I doubt any of these lines/themes will be used or referenced later on

The Cherub battle suits being based on the IMP squad feels a bit lazy tbh- It is also just a little too on the nose for me for the parallels of the role each Cherub plays in their group - Cletus/Blitz, Colin/Moxie, Keenie/Millie

Wondering about what the lore explanation is for angelic beings existing in Hell and demons existing in Heaven- is it a mutual thing? Do angels or cherubs have more power? I assume (in reference to the Hazbin lore) that cherubs are like Imps and are lower-ranking angelic beings? I could be wrong though- unsure if something else has been confirmed

Lust Ring

Not really interested in the Cherub gags while following Blitz. they all rely on the "innocence" trope, which I personally find a bit boring/overdone

FIZZ CONTENT- LOOK AT HIM- HE'S IN COLORFUL PANTS

No way Blitz is over Fizz. Look at the way he reacts when he’s blindfolded- like, come on

Fizz’s just so great in this whole scene

IMP/Cherub fight was pretty good

Stolas's Home

Right off the bat, why’s Blitz gotta be so cute? Damn

When Stolas asks for the grimoire, he does not give any words of reassurance to Blitz that his job, livelihood, and friends/employees will be safe. Blitz hears that Stolas needs the book back and goes into panic mode because he’s worried about fucking up Loona, Moxie, and Millie’s lives- he also assumes this is Stolas retaliating against him- not the healthies assumption, but a reasonable one, given what their dynamic and agreement is

Stolas lets Blitz speak but never intervenes to reassure Blitz, leading Blitz to default to what he knows Stolas usually wants- sex

Stolas gets up and walks away, saying he’s made up his mind, AGAIN being vague and Blitz’s panic only gets worse- he literally begs Stolas for the grimoire

Good on Stolas for giving Blitz the crystal and explaining- again, it really seems like he’s coming to terms with how he’d been treating Blitz and understanding that their dynamic isn’t healthy

Honestly, Stolas’s apology and explanation here was the best part of the episode

Blitz’s reaction, while I don’t support it, is still understandable. I don’t think Blitz has a ton of context for what's happening. From his perspective, this is all very sudden, and he was clearly trying to ignore this issue earlier in the episode- now that he’s confronted with it, he’s scared and, again, defaults to sex as a means to appease Stolas. This is a pattern that developed BECAUSE Stolas kept sexualizing and belittling Blitz

Stolas, taking this reaction at face value, I can understand—it’s hurtful to be so open and then be met with sarcasm and insincerity—but then to close off the conversation? My Man, can you really blame Blitz for also being confused, hurt, angry, and scared?

 Stolas is confused that Blitz thinks he only wants sex?? Stolas!! Your agreement literally hinged on the fact that Blitz was willing to prostitute himself to keep his business going

Blitz, they could never make me hate you. 

His lashing out isn’t healthy at all, and he has some serious emotional development to do, but I honestly can’t blame him. All of this has been building up for so long- Blitz isn’t good with handling big emotions, this was all just sprung on him, and Stolas took his angry outburst at face value without giving Blitz time to process

I can’t tell if this is good writing for a miscommunication trope or negligent writing that victim blames one character while painting the other as a saint

Overall

The composition of this episode was cohesive enough, but definitely has some weak points.

The inconsistency and one-off gags that are introduced are funny but sometimes frustrating, as they can allude to larger themes but ultimately go nowhere

I really enjoyed finally seeing more of Moxxie, Loona, and Millie. It's frustrating that they're being sidelined in favor of Stolitz, which probably should have been more of a B plot than the main one.

Currently torn about the writing for the Stolitz dynamic because there are multiple lenses that their content can be viewed through. I want to try using the Reparative Lens Theory, but honestly, the writing just seems to get more inconsistent and is meant to cater to Viv’s ideas of “good” and “bad”

re-watching this episode after Apology Tour is so, so frustrating because any character development Stolas might have gone through is scrubbed and retcons everything just to make Blitz the "bad guy"

If you made it this far, thank you for your time

Helluva Boss Apology Tour review

In retrospect, it's pretty funny that my expectations for this and The Full Moon ended up being reversed, the episode I expected to by focused on character interaction ended up being more action focused, while the episode I thought would be action focused ended up being mostly character interactions.

For those who just want my thoughts on the plot developments: Once again, I'm pleasantly surprised by how Stolas is handled, with a few moments sticking out for currently neutral reasons (it'll make more sense later).

Now, do get to the details:

I felt the opening sequence was slightly longer than needed, but I feel that was somewhat intentional, evoking a sense of unease.

The montage of the bulk of Blitz's apologies is a lovely tribute to what amounts to the first third of the show, this is easily the most callback heavy episode, but I'd say it feels earned given its place in the story. And I simply can't gloss over the brief acknowledgement of all the people who ship Martha and Mayberry, for someone like me, who has a love of those tongue in cheek fandom gags, it's a real good treat.

Speaking of references, don't think I missed Grandpa's cameo when Blitz gets to Earth, oddly enough, it's not even the characters first interactions with the hellaverse, as Brandon's channel has a sketch of Blitz and Moxxie going after Grandpa.

The song was perfectly serviceable, even if I'm not a fan of Bryce Pinkham's voice in general. I'll also take this opportunity to say I loved both the joke of an actual Blitz plush being burned and the brief shot of the last "party" Stolas attended.

The major point of the episode is obviously the conversation between Blitz and Stolas at the party, and I certainly have some thoughts on it. The first moment that stuck out to me was Stolas saying he wants someone to care about him and want him in their life, only for him to clarify a moment later that he meant it romantically feels like it was done to show that he's, at least on some level, aware that he's neglecting Octavia, which I can't wait to see catch up with him, hopefully by the end of the season. The second is when her doubles down on wanting to be wanted, the exact moment when I came up with this question:"Stolas why do you think no one wants you in their life?" And this is exactly what I hope is built on, Stolas has drowned himself in self pity for so long that there's very little to him as a person to the point that no one sees any real benefit in having any relationship with him, not just romantically, but platonically as well.

This is all building to my point, I'm genuinely starting to think that Blitz and Stolas' relationship will ultimately end on a mutually respectful break up, and if that does turn out to be true then I might genuinely end up somewhat respecting this plotline, despite the major road bumps in the first half of the season.

The last major point I want to hit is Verosika, who manages to be both more extreme and more subdued than before while still feeling completely natural. While I don't have any concrete ideas, I am very curious to see where her character goes in the future.

In conclusion, while I think I prefer The Full Moon, this is still a better episode than roughly half of season. I just hope they can keep it up in the last three episodes as well as the three shorts we'll be getting in July, August and September, which are indeed a thing, in case you weren't aware. That's all for now, feel free to leave any of your own thoughts below.

[showtoonzfan]

Anyway can’t wait to critique and pick apart episode 8 for it’s shit writing (since it’s Helluva Boss) only to see fans (and maybe Viv herself) go “UHM…IT’S NOT ATTACHED TO OZZIE’S 🤓” even tho despite Viv making changes at the last minute and deciding that this isn’t a follow up after…you know….MONTHS of making her fans think that way, that doesn’t automatically mean the episode is immune to criticism, sorry Viv. 😘

[thecluelessdoctor]

How would you write/rewrite Exes and Oohs? Aka. episode that exposes Moxxie's mafia backstory.

OH HELL YES OK

First let's start with what's wrong with the episode.

My major problem was that again, tone was terrible. It wanted a imitating tone anytime crimson was in screen, but it made him a fucking joke.

Chaz also felt lazy, like I don't mind a character that only cares about dicking down, its hell after all, but chaz felt like a terrible plot element for drama, especially because they made him be the ex of both Moxxie and Millie, which is just crappy. And how would Millie and Chaz meet?? We have no evidence Millie left wrath before joining IMP, same with Chaz. Chaz in general just didn't need to exist

So, how would I fix the episode?

It's not a bad episode, but it isn't good either. And for once backstory doesn't feel forced because Moxxie has been shown to be incredibly good with weapons, and know alot about them, so it kinda makes sense we was once apart of a mob.

Anyway

Rewriting the episode

The episode will begin the same, I.M.P getting a call to go to greed. Moxxie seems uncomfortable with the idea, but they go anyway.

They end up at crimson's place, crimson not being there, but they are instead greeted by someone of the mob who only refers to crimson as Boss. Moxxie recognizes the place instantly, and attempts to back down. Blitz being blitz, makes him go anyway.

The mob person brings them to a meeting room, with very little lighting other than the green light through the cracks though the curtain, a dark figure sitting behind a desk, a plume of smoke making it even harder to see who it was.

Moxxie seems almost scared as the trio is shoved in, and the door shuts behind them. Crimson, the figure behind the desk talks to them about why they are really there. He's very blunt and says he wants Moxxie.

Blitz objects, saying mox is one of his best employees. Crimson obviously isn't happy with this answer, and with a snap both Blitz and Millie are dragged out, leaving Moxxie in the room with Crimson.

The curtains are opened, allowing Moxxie to see crimson.

Crimson talks about what Moxxie cost the mob when he got caught, and then completely left the Mob for some cheap job. The mob was on Mammon's wanted his, and Moxxie was going to pay. Moxxie retaliates, threatening crimson. Crimson is unamused, and has Moxxie dragged away, and locked into a room separated from Millie and Blitz

Cut to Millie and blitz, who are in two separate rooms, stripped of any and all weapons. Blitz is trying to think of a way out. They couldn't get through the door, with it being locked and plenty of gangsters outside, that wasn't a option. The window wasn't a option from them either seeing how they were on the 2nd or 3rd story. Millie is in despair, desperately trying to break out.

Cut back to moxxie, who's on a first floor room, locked in, without any weapons. Luckily the person who through him in there didn't check for the window being locked or barred.

Moxxie escaped through the window, sneaking around outside. Luckily not to many gangsters were out. He had to find a way to get Millie and blitz out

Que him being caught, and completely bad ass fight scene because he deserves it. He takes the weapons off the Hellborne gangster. Now he had a way.

He had two guns, both full, and four mags, and a knife. He found another unlocked window that didn't lead to a room, and he broke back in, checking as many doors as he could.

He manages to find Blitz's room, and shoots the lock, alerting gangsters in the building. He gives a gun to blitz, as well as a mag. Que bad ass fighting scene

They manage to find Millie in the fit of battle. Moxxie tosses Millie the knife and more fighting.

They make their way out of the mansion, but not with our a encounter with crimson, who shoots Moxxie in the arm and horn. Very painful

Crimson claims he will get his revenge, planning to shoot Moxxie fatally, before blitz shoots him. Not accurately, but good enough to wound crimson enough to retreat. They steal a car, and attempt to get to the nearest hospital.

The episode ends with moxxie in a hospital with Millie beside him, asleep.

outro

THE END

Naming this episode 'Close Call'

Blitz (2024) Review

Set in London during the German bombing campaign during World War II, known as the Blitz. We see how different groups of people deal with this and attempt to survive. ⭐️⭐️ Continue reading Blitz (2024) Review

[cbusch]

The season finale is amazing! From the animation to the storyline and how everything comes together, it’s simply perfect! There’s no other way to describe it, it was perfect!

Octavia’s first song in I will Be Okay shows a range of hurt and betrayal coming from Octavia. She’s conflicted about how she really feels about her father. There’s an element to grief that Octavia is feeling and it doesn’t help that her mother, Stella is very toxic and manipulative, going as far as to mock and disallow Octavia to have contact from Stolas. As desperate as she wants that connection, she can’t help but feel hurt and can’t handle those emotions. It’s hard to see the other person’s point of view from that grief, but sometimes stepping away and not have contact for a while is the best thing for people.

I love the element of Christmas being referred to as Sinsmas as it adds a layer to what the people in Hell experience and to add that twisted sense to it made it all the more satisfying. The one scene that stood out was when the I.M.P crew was going to take out a sinner’s ex-lover who was in a same-sex relationship. As they are shivering, they see the warmth of the target’s family and realize the stakes that are set. They see a loving couple and think back to the family unit that is set up within I.M.P., realizing they can’t do it and no amount of money is worth spilling up a family. It’s hard to see, but beautiful as we see growth in everyone, especially Blitzo. It was also satisfying when the rude client gets thrown out the window or told to shut up by Stolas. (Sorry, spoilers but watch the episode to see what I mean)

Love the ending as it is a shocker and that one I won’t give away as it contains a major spoilers and it’s not fair to do.

Moxxie and Millie were perfect. They are the perfect couple in this episode to them supporting each other and not taking offense when they participate in the Sinsmas festivities.

Overall, this is a great way to end the season and a fantastic early gift to the fans of Helluva Boss!

My Week(s) in Review: December 15, 2024

I've got more than I realized this time around. I'm gonna keep 'em short, as I just don't have a lot to say about many of them. Okay, let's get to it...

Wicked (Jon M. Chu, 2024)

This was kind of amazing, really. A technical feast and brings the wonder and stunning theatricality of the stage musical to life with so much overwhelming production value. Most of the musical numbers are shot with such perfect energy that it distracts from the fact that only like three of the songs are actually any good. And the cast brings these characters to life with such pitch perfect passion and humor. I find it very jarring to type this, but I think Ariana Grande might be my front-runner for Supporting Actress this Awards Season?? She's so damn good. Wow. I still hate that they insisted on dragging things out to the point this needed to be split into Parts I & II, though. - 8.5/10

Gladiator II (Ridley Scott, 2024)

Far too similar to the first film in both structure and storyline, just without any of the emotional richness or historical romance of the first film. The cast knocks it out of the park, though, even that Irish dude that everyone seems to be crazy about for no obvious reason. Yeah, sure, he mostly just broods his way through it all while everyone around him is stealing scene after scene from him, but he does solid work as their less interesting scene partner. Then there's Denzel, who's having a blast, and steals the whole damn film in the process. - 7/10

Blink Twice (Zoë Kravitz, 2024)

Pretty f*cked up and disorienting, and ultimately so damn satisfying. - 8/10

Oddity (Damian McCarthy, 2024)

A creepy-as-f*ck slow burn that utilizes it's setting and mood perfectly. The payoff isn't entirely as satisfying as it should've been, but it's still damn good. - 7/10

The Wild Robot (Chris Sanders, 2024)

Gorgeously animated and beautifully written. This is the type of creatively heartfelt family film I'll never get tired of. Bummed I passed on this in cinemas. - 9/10

Blitz (Steve McQueen, 2024)

Technically impressive, emotionally boring. Saoirse is great, as always, and the little dude is rock solid for a child performance, but so much of this movie just didn't land, for me. The pacing was off, I think, or something. I really don't know, but I found myself checking the time far too often for a film that barely breaks the two hour mark. Oh well... ::shrugs:: - 5.5/10

Enjoy!

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

Helluva Boss Season 2: GhostFuckers SPOILERS ⚠️❗

(TW!: OPINION AND BAD ENGLISH)

I love how this series makes me bring out the worst in myself in one episode, and then in the next episode I'm the most fanatical person in the world 🧍

I loved the episode, I'm not going to lie.

I'm definitely not a fan of Stolitz or Stolas, but they are an important part of Blitzø's character (being my favorite character in the series). So I have to live with that unfortunately.

For a Halloween special it's great

In this chapter we were given some more depth about Blitzø and Millie's relationship and friendship (also some development for both of them)

Something I was hoping for more for Millie, who barely had any relevance in the show (but her development is tied up with Blitzø but I can't ask for that much from this series)

I loved the scene of Millie's ghosts of her possible deaths and

Godddddd The scene with Blitzø's mom left me shocked, you don't know how many times I replayed that scene, it was brutal, and it gave me chills when I heard Blitzø's desperate voice (This scene is my favorite thing about the episode, This scene just GOT TO ME)

And more sexual harassment scene against Blitzø... 🧍 (I'm so tired, leave him alone please, just a little)

It tires me out to know that people going to point this scene and more the scenes of Emberlynn as harassment towards Blitzø but when it comes to part for Stolas, they gives you a scroll of why it is not like that and that their relationship is complicated and that he is not really bad and that they are two complicated people and in the end they will be together and blah blah blah

(I won't let my Stolas Slander die even if he's not in the episode (Well yes it appears in flashbacks and mentions but still))

I've been meaning to mention this for a long time, and now that the episode has addressed it I can talk about it.

Blitzø and his relationships (romantic, friendships, family) of how he thinks (and yes, it's true) that he screwed up the lives of several, Fizz, Barbie, Verosika, Stolas, etc. And he says it himself

"I destroy everything, everyo- I-I make everyone's love worse"

When it's not all like that, it definitely improved the lives of the main cast: Moxxie, Millie and Loona (yes, I definitely don't have much sympathy for Loona, but still Blitzø actually improved her life)

Oh yes, the song reminded me of some Scooby Doo songs and I liked that.)

That's all I have to say really..

Oh yeah, I laughed at this stupid scene of Moxxie in his crisis of a possible bankruptcy (He is funny when he wants to be)

I am this with the series

Well wait for a new episode in November 🧍

Movie Review Blitz. 4 Stars. Woke Nonsense-Lots

I know, I know. I’m too negative. I find too many faults in movies. I deny this. The fault is with the movie industry, which keeps cranking out losers and turkeys (seasonal insult). I actually paid to see this boring, unoriginal, confusing movie. I might be emotionally more supportive if it had been free. Nah, my time is worth something. This movie is not. The movie stars Soirse Ronan as Rita,…

[xthebaphometx]

Rewriting helluva boss episodes: ALL PARTS

Season one remains unchanged.

The Circus:

The concept of this episode works. However having Stolas and Blitzo know each other from childhood doesn’t make sense for their relationship. Also, Stella’s character is weakened as a villain here.

The episode starts in the same way- introducing young stolas- minus Stella’s introduction. We then cut to Blitzo preparing for a show. We get to see some brief interactions, and then he goes on. Blitzo doesn’t meet Stolas, and he only makes a quick cameo at the actual show. Fizz and Blitzo have there interaction as is, but instead of leaving to meet stolas the scene just cuts back to him. Stolas has another interaction with his father. He is then introduced to Stella. They quickly become friendly, if not awkward with one another. They’re both enjoying their time till it’s revealed they are arranged to get married. They react on different levels of shock. This scene cuts, and directly transition into Stella and Stolas, the night they meets Blitzø. Stolas and Stella are shown to have a cold relationship, but with an element of care still existing. They’re unhappy, but not miserable. Moxie and Blitzo show up to the party, ready to fill an assassination job (assuming Millie hasn’t joined imp yet). While sneaking through a window, Stolas catches Blitz’s eye. Moxie then explains how Stolas is the current holder of the Grimoire. This prompts an idea from Blitz. Moxie is sent off to compete the job on his own. From this point on the episode is the same. Blitz still makes the deal with Stolas, and the gilded cage scene is unchanged.

Seeing stars:

This completely ignores the events at Ozzie’s, making the continuity really off. It makes the story messy. Also, having three separate plots is completely unnecessary.

The episode opens the same, with young Octavia. We then cut to IMP preparing for a job. Ocativa steals the grimoire, without IMP noticing. As there about to leave, Moxxie notices the grimoire is gone. Blitz calls Stolas thinking he broke the contract, due to Ozzie’s. Stolas realizes Octavia took it and left to the human realm. He promises to give the grimoire back, only if IMP helps find Octavia. Stolas arrives, and there’s a tense tone between him and Blitzo. He’s only there because he has to be. Stolas sends Moxie and Millie off to complete the job, and they disappear into b plot land. Loona then decides to come, after sympathizing with Octavia. The Brandon Rogers scene remains close to normal. Stolas and Blitzo still have a strong tension between them. When they are put in the van, they have a moment that reconciles this and indirectly address their issues. We then cut to Moxxie and Millie on there way to the job. Nothing significant happens, but their song can go here if necessary. We then cut back to Stolas and Blitzo. Stolas gives his pep talk to Blitzo, which makes them warm up to each other further. Stolas laughs at Blitzos jokes, which makes both of them happy. Blitzos flashback and the fight scene stays as is. Blitzo then points out the fact that in the chaos Loona disappeared, and no further effort was made to find Octavia. They begin to panic, and run off to find them. It cuts to Loona finding Octavia. The scene between the two girls proceeds as normal, with Blitzo and Stolas running in at the end. If time allows for it, this’ll be a cut to M&M. They’re in the middle of the job, which leads to a mini fight scene. The ending is the same.

Exes and O’s:

Personally, I’d just cut this episode. But if a Moxxie backstory is necessary to the story, this is a way to work it in.

IMP revisits an old villain from any past epsiode. While mid-battle a comment triggers Moxxie into a PTSD attack. This cuts into a flashback, similar to the one in episode. Not only does this explain his family life, it shows how Moxie met Blitzo and Millie. Blitzo mets Moxie after he runs away from home, rather then in prison. This episode has a B plot of Blitzo tracking down Chaz, after learning he’s the ex of both moxie and Millie. When Blitzo does find Chaz, he gives it a second thought due to Stolas.

Western Energy:

Yet again, having three plots run alongside each other is unnecessary. The tone is also off. The two main villains of the show seem like completely jokes in this episode.

The episode opens the same. Stella is more logical with her actions, making more rational sense when discussing her plan. The kidnapping and phone call are the same. We stay with Moxie and Millie rather then following Blitzo. They have a quick interaction in the car, which leads into the gas station scene. They’re roles are swapped- Moxie does the talking, Millie does the fighting. This cuts into a more intense version of the Striker song. He interacts with Stolas, in a more threatening way. This makes Stolas realize he’s actually in danger. We see the Stella scene as is. This brings us to the Blitzo waiting room scene. After this, is the fight scene. The lead up to this is almost the same, with less humor. The fight isn’t split between the two plots, only focusing on Striker. When the hospital scene begins, there’s a quick gag explaining what happened with Blitz and Loona. The ending is the same from this point forth.

This is all at no hate to the show!! I have nothing but respect and appreciation for most to the Helluva team.
