Helluva Boss/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Alternate Character Interpretation: A few:
 * Verosika. Yeah, she's a bitch and a slut (both by her own admission), but was it really her fault she and Blitzo broke up? After all, she was in a rehab clinic between their breakup and "Spring Broken", and there's more than one hint in her brief appearances afterwards to make one wonder who dumped who. Blitzo never makes any accusations towards her, only insults. She expands on their relationship during her solo in "OZZIE's" and saying that he was selfish both in and out of bed, breaking her heart in the process. Given's Blitzo's guilty expression, she's completely telling the truth about it.
 * Loo Loo Land's resident Monster Clown, Fizzarolli. He and Blitzo used to be pals when Blitzo worked there, and selfies on Blitzo's phone show that both were pretty happy back then. Whatever happened to make them enemies must have been brutal, and again, Blitzo never actually blames him for it, so there's no way to tell whose fault it was.
 * Striker, the Knight of Cerebus. Yeah, he's a Professional Killer, but so is Blitzo, and while Striker feels no remorse for his mark and has much less understanding of loyalty than the I.M.P.s, he at least doesn't seem to love his job as much as Blitzo does. Striker even makes an honest attempt to sway Blitzo to his side, so is he truly the greater evil.
 * Stolas. This guy has a lot of angst for an Overlord of Hell, and while he has power, money, and influence, he doesn't seem to enjoy any of it. He's portrayed as a man in an unhappy, loveless marriage, depressed because his daughter is growing up. The season one finale shows him lonely and sad simply because his wife and daughter are away visiting his in-laws, and then very upset later because Blitzo isn't "in the mood". One has to wonder if he was just a sheltered rich kid who never truly learned to be social, and whether he's a textbook case of Being Evil Sucks.
 * Blitzo himself. While he outwardly suspects Stolas is only using him for sex, there are plenty of signs that he does indeed have feelings for him. Also, while he claims to despise both Verosika and Fizzarolli, he has selfies on his mobile showing him with both of them in happier times, which he has never deleted.
 * Awesome Music: Parry Gripp's songs for the show are fun to listen to.
 * Crosses the Line Twice: One of the I.M.P.'s targets in the pilot happens to be a foulmouthed boy.
 * Draco in Leather Pants: To be frank, everyone in the show - you're supposed to be on their side, even though they're demons and murderers. Some characters who stand out:
 * A lot of fans show a lot more sympathy than scorn towards Verosika, although in all fairness, whether she deserves more of either than Blitzo is debatable. It is implied "Spring Broken" that she and Blitzo both still have feelings for each other and implied there and in "Truth Seekers" their breakup was more his fault.
 * Stolas gets this too, although the show seems to be actively trying to portray him positively, despite the fact that his relationship with Blitzo is technically Sexual Extortion and Stolas is a Demon Lord who is trying to encourage denial of climate change.
 * Evil Is Cool: Duh, that's why it's so popular!
 * Friendly Fandoms:
 * Has one with Brandon Rogers' channel due to the same writing style.
 * Has one with both The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Invader Zim due to Horvitz' involvement.
 * Miraculous Ladybug too; the fact that Verosika and Marinette have the same VA has not gone unnoticed by fans.
 * Harsher in Hindsight: The first episode has Moxie fucking up a hit on a homewrecking mother because Blitzo wants to take the shot while she's serving dinner, and says they'll be destroying a family.
 * Heartwarming in Hindsight: A lot courtesy of "Exes and Ohs"
 * Moxie tells the family in the first episode that he doesn't want their kids to be killed when they are young and deserve a second chance at life.
 * "Truth Seekers" features Blitzo getting captured by D.H.O.R.K.S. because he refuses to leave an incapacitated Moxie behind on Earth and carries his unconscious body for a good long while. It's also the same episode where he insists that Moxie doesn't need to call him "Sir" because he's earned the right to use his boss's first name..
 * Memetic Mutation: "ZIM SAID FUCK". Whenever Moxxie or another character voiced by Horvitz swears on this show, many fans can just picture Invader Zim or another role by Horvitz saying it.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Lampshaded multiple times during the show considering that we have a protagonist set of assassins:
 * Lyle and his partner crossed it with unethical experiments on children. Even I.M.P. is confused about why freaking angels would want to save him.
 * Nightmare Fuel: The entire concept of the series is this. Consider the example given, Bob assumes he safe from Alice, as she's dead and he personally killed her. He has no idea that she can strike at him through an intermediary, and this hold true for anyone who knows with certainty that his hated enemy is dead. And for all their bumbling, the I.M.P.'s do seem to have a decent rate of success...
