Does anyone else know what it feels like when you want to dissect the writing of a character and then realize that it would be way better to discuss them in comparison to another character but also know it'll be months before either of them have another focused appearance?

Anyway, I'm fine and not being pissy, at all.

Helluva Boss animatic ideas I'm shocked I haven't seen done yet.

Just some idea I'd like to see someone do

Stella and Andre with audio of the Fischoeder brothers from Bob's Burgers, they basically have the same dynamic with Andre as Calvin and Stella as Felix

Chaz with literally any seen of Aladdin from Twisted, again, they're practically the same character

The dinner with Pop scene from season 2 of The League of Gentlemen with Crimson, Moxxie and Millie

This one will almost definitely happen after the next episode but here it is anyway, Mammon as Big Jack Horner

The weight things is that Crimson's design was changed to Moxxie with a fuller figure, until Mammon was introduced, he was the closest the series had to a properly plus-sized significant character. Meaning we have not one, but two characters from the Greed ring who are the only major overweight characters, and their both portrayed as pure villains.

I'm pretty sure that when the beat boards were made Crim was going to live in wrath nd be a sort of big game hunter, but it was changed to Greed, possibly to build up to Mammon being a villain. And though it probably made the episode worse, I am kind of thankful for it. I love the grimy industrial aesthetic so much, you don't even know.

Only way to know for sure how much the plot changed is to see all the beat boards, which likely won't happen, at least for a long time.

And now, by literally no one's demand, Another Reason Why Crimson Doesn't Quite Work!

So you know the song and dance about Moxxie always being called fat, but did you know what Crim looked like in the beat boards?

A hairy, hulking brute with a more modern fashion sense. This design makes him feel powerful, an active and competent threat. Also notice that Alessio, his bodyguard, seemingly didn't exist yet and weapons were a more prominent motif in his house at this point in production.

But Spindlehorse didn't go with this design, they made him a slightly taller version of his son, who is constantly mocked for his "weight", might I ad, with thicker legs and gave him a bodyguard. They made him a "fatter" pretentious blowhard who needs his cronies to do everything for him.

Maybe this is more weird fatphobia from Spindlehorse, or maybe this was just done to justify him hiring Striker in Oops. Hell, maybe the Crim and Chaz stories were originally 2 different episodes, that would actually explain a lot about the final product. Either way, I we confident that the original version of Crimson Knolastname would have been a much stronger villain, both figuratively and literally.

Look at Blitz smiling obliviously, he’s so cute and silly as always. It’s kinda weird in hindsight that they didn’t just have Loona call in sick or something her absence wasn’t really explained. I know the VA was on break but the writers didnt come up with anything for it.

Ughh it bothers me so much to hear all the potential creativity and original ideas/stories we could’ve had. So many creative minds on the team and it all gets drafted to be a sausage party episode with funnee fuck jokes~

He’s way better there. Sans stache because everyone seems to have the same stache as Striker and he’s better original. I still feel like he’s unnecessary. Moxie was born in wrath grew up in wrath and both his parents were still alive originally, so rewriting his story is really stupid. I actually don’t even know why Crimson couldn’t be a wrath ring imp mafia. Why greed?

The concept probably didn’t have the creepy and ridiculous ‘forced gay marriage’ plot either. That was so incredibly stupid and senseless. That said I really enjoyed most of the episode, the setting was really cool, the green saturated colors and dark lighting were really threatening. But it had to go and make this all about penises…I’m embarrassed that I watch this show sometimes.

I honestly cant comment on the weight thing, I don’t really see the point being made there.

That could've worked, also maybe ditch Crim's homophobia/biphobia and just make him resent Moxxie for relying on weapons.

Then, later, during the climax, Moxxie takes out most of his dad's goons when one manages to knocks his weapon away, which is when Millie joins in and this makes Moxxie realizes that he should at least try to improve in hand-to-hand. This would explain how he was able to take out the random biker gang in Western Energy, which always felt weird to me, like we missed something telling us that Mox didn't want to just rely on weapons.

Maybe make it a point that Moxxie is the one to spare Crimson, simply to not give him the satisfaction of the last thing he sees being his son being as raging and ruthless as he is.

Fixing this show's issues is so easy, fixing a problem gives you the perfect setup to fix two or three more, almost like you're reverse engineering how it was fucked up in the first place.
