As someone who is REALLY into the seven deadly sins, I originally had my doubts with the Hellaverse making the Princes of Hell positive versions of their respective sins (except for Mammon, who is the vice of Greed in its most awful glory). I mean, while the positive message and denunciation of religious madness is appreciated and needed (such as Asmodeus representing the modern, positive and non-religious meaning of lust while posing as the religious meaning of "lust"), it kind of removed something from the fact Hell is supposed to be... well Hell, a fucked up, horrible shit-hole where everything keeps going wrong for people.
But now that Hazbin Hotel is out I am at peace with this, because it was all to better make a parallel between the Princes of Hells and the Overlords. The Overlords truly depict the seven deadly sins in what they have of most horrible and evil, and thus make perfect "evil twins" to the Seven Deadly Sins demons. Valentino is the evil lust to Asmodeus positive lust ; Rosie and the cannibals are a dark reflection of Queen Bee's positive vibes ; Vox, Velvet and Alastor are all much more prideful in a negative way than Lucifer himself. In fact, the battle between Alastor and Lucifer in episode 5 truly highlights the "regular" pride of Lucifer, just misguided self-centeredness and deep confidence issues/self-loathing leading to a massive "I'm the best showman" persona ; to the arrogance of Alastor, the manipulative, ambitious demon who is obsessed with being respected and feared, and who keeps trying to take down seen "rivals" even when they are way above him. (There's a whole thing to say about Alastor being just as much of an "attention-whore" than Vox, but in a different - more intelligent and reserved way, like how he was clearly annoyed by Carmilla shooting down any talk about his mysterious disappearance)
This truly drives well the point that the real evil in the world of the Hellaverse comes from humans and humanity, by showing how the "fallen angel" demons are roughly positive, just not conforming Heaven's strict rules ; but the Overlords are truly depraved and vicious. Thus, in a twist, these over-powered Sinners are better at depicting the cardinal vices than the Seven Princes of Hell themselves.
Except for Mammon of course, 'cause nobody can top him as the greediest bastard.
Ranboo, to Tubbo: My life is in the hands of an idiot.
Tommy, motioning to himself and Tubbo: No no no no no, Big Man, TWO idiots.
where Megamind is still doing supervilliany things like trying to take over the city, robbing banks, creating over the top schemes with way too many stages to defeat Metroman
BUT
He’s also a favourite of many Metro City citizens because he is always willing to drink his Respect Women Juice™ and always down to bat for the underdog.
Being followed by a creep? The invisible car is there to offer you a ride home and Megamind’s pointing a weird-looking gun at the creep.
Your boss giving you the chills? All his dirty laundry is all over the web and his entire bank account has been donated to charity.
Trying to escape an abusive environment? Knock on the ‘Secret’ Lair’s door and he’ll get you an entirely new living arrangement, a restraining order and enough money to get you back on your feet.
Need medication that you can’t afford? Megamind just robbed a pharmacy and his physiology doesn’t agree with human medication.
Megamind gives away free mini De-Guns that dehydrate people for half an hour since it acts as an excellent deterrent. (He somehow managed to argue it into legality by comparing it to Mace.)
Roxanne makes exactly one mention of Hal the cameraman not taking no for an answer before she gets a new cameraman the next day who is exceedingly polite towards her and goes pale whenever Megamind looks at him.
Megamind may have been raised by criminals but he was raised by criminals who were mostly victims of circumstance and thus gave him standards.
listen... listen... <3
Techno: Ranboo.
Ranboo: Yeah?
Techno, gesturing at his chest: Explain.. that.
Ranboo, looking down at Tommy who's wrapped around him like a koala: Oh! He just does this sometimes.
Phil: . . . What mate?
Ranboo, smiling: Yeah! I think he may be asleep though, so could you guys try to be quiet?
Phil, whispering: What the fuck.
