Why I think that killing off Adam was the biggest mistake Viv could make

TW: ranting and spoilers

This entire blog is just gonna be me going on a rant about my opinion on why I think Adam shouldn't of been killed off and why he shouldn't be killed off so early and shit , not only did I not see it as unnecessary for the plot, but there's so much Vivienne could of done for his character other than just throwing the whole character away in just one season , I'll be listing things for what they could of done for Adam's character

1. Plotholes

I'm just gonna say it right here and right now, Adam was killed off waaay too early and not only would we be left with many many plot holes like, where is both of his sons (Caine and Abel), the potential they could of used for his character, and ect.

2. Character potential

^^this fucking scene^^ , because the thought of when Adam first pulling up and being like "Hello, Adam here!!" Is just so fucking funny to me (just less plagiarized, and more unique)

and maybe his arrival leads to his words "Hell is forever" ,his own song gets used against him sense not only did he have the audacity to go to the hotel to get back into heaven but he has said it himself, how redemption isn't possible

But references aside ,Adam can have some potential for his character, like maybe he not only comes to the hotel not only for the intention of going back to Heaven because he hates being down in hell but also for the intention of plotting some revenge for what the hotel residents all did to him

,but the longer he stays there the less and less he tries to plot his revenge , the more and more he realized how flawed heaven and heaven's people are most of the time, and ect.

And ect. and he's so indenial of it at first and doesn't want to believe it but no matter how much he tries there's no denying it , deep down he knows it's true but he doesn't want to believe it

3. Character potential (again)

Like maybe Adam has become fallen in the first place because not only did him sinning in Heaven eventually catch up to him, but maybe also because after finding out the exterminations were unnecessary after Sir Pentious entered the heavens gates, it was finally time for Adam to take his fall

They can also actually start touching on Adam's trauma and how it affects him, his trauma being : being forced into a relationship the moment he was created (Lilith and Eve) , having to be the father and/or decendant of all of the human race , having been kicked out of the garden after Lucifer has second handedly invented evil into the world , and said evil causing his son to kill his other son(which is his and God's fault also)

Like maybe sense Vivziepop is putting a slight different spin to things to Hazbin hotel, she doesn't really having to follow the entire list (sense it's her show) , she can still do something with some of it and still find a way to bring it up and with that it could be the reason behind how he behaves , his personality as a whole, and why he wears that narcissistic mask (while it doesn't necessarily excuse his actions)

4. Character design

If Adam was to somehow end up coming back as a fallen angel, as a sinner. Viv can find a way to go crazy with his fallen design, like any other cartoonist in this world, I know that those cartoonist has seen fanart and fan creations of their shows, movies, and characters

I've seen my fair share of seeing really really good fallen designs for Adam and I'm fucking here for it , they're all so good

,it just needs to happen

5. Character development & redemption arc

Like mentioned in Character potential 2 , Adam can have some potential for his character, like maybe he not only comes to the hotel not only for the intention of going back to Heaven because he hates being down in hell but also for the intention of plotting some revenge for what the hotel residents all did to him

but the longer he stays there the less and less he tries to plot his revenge , the more and more he realized how flawed heaven and heaven's people are most of the time, and ect.

And ect. and he's so indenial of it at first and doesn't want to believe it but no matter how much he tries there's no denying it , deep down he knows it's true but he doesn't want to believe it . Like maybe Adam just still acts the same but without him realizing it or acknowledging it he's just becoming a better person and maybe even comedically he just thinks that the misfits gave him a disease /illness when that's not the case

Maybe in the next seasons he could even become a better father to his sons, Caine and Abel but similar to Lucifer, let them do their own thing sense those two are basically adults now and hey, Adam could be more like a cool dad

I feel like Adam has more cool dad energy

6. The relationships he'll end up making

Just imagine the relationships Adam slowly but gradually builds during his redemption arc, like maybe him and Charlie ending having like an fun uncle and niece kind of relationship or something, maybe slowly but gradually he becomes like another friend of Angel Dust's, and ect.

As he processes through his redemption arc he can end up making friends and building relationships down in hell , possibly in the near future Charlie, Vaggie, Angeldust, Alastor, Cherri bomb, Husk, Nifty, Razzle, and Lucifer doesn't fight against him but with him if another threat were to come

7. There could be another antagonists that's worse or maybe even a bigger threat than Adam

Maybe another antagonists could be made that's more of a mystery and even a bigger threat than Adam , that's just like Adam (or not) but amp up the bad traits he has, maybe this time Adam could be the one helping the others fight and rebel against this guy in his own way

8. Another musical number

Another musical number with them singing badly about heaven in song in the near future but this time with Charlie ,Vaggie, Angeldust, Alastor, Cherri bomb, Husk, Nifty, Razzle, Lucifer, and most of all Adam but the reprise has a metal spin to it and this time Adam joins in and does it with his guitar

9. Another reason she shouldn't of killed off Adam is because she'd be killing off fat /plus size representation

Another reason I feel like Viv shouldn't of killed off Adam is because she'd be killing of fat character representation and I wouldn't want a chubby character like Adam to be killed off

,of course we have Mimzy now but she doesn't count sense she's just one character and only just one character and as much as I love Mimzy I feel like the show needs more than just one or two fat characters

And for the people that think "He isn't chubby" , try again and look at him again , how he sits , lays down (like how he was laying after her got shanked in his arm by Charlie), and ect.

10. I just want some vulnerable moments with Adam

Whether that be Adam bawling his eyes out, having a panic attack, having a mental/emotional breakdown, or ect. I just want to see a vulnerable side of Adam, Adam angst if you will

Okay I'm done ranting, bye <3 <3

First of all, I don't want to shame anyone for liking any of these characters. Hell, I even do myself! This is not a personal attack on people who don't see any problems with them—just my personal opinion!

Let's talk about vees. Yeah, these vees we ALL LOVE: Valentino, Vox, and Velvette, respectively. Our beloved pron industry, television, and fashion industry, which are supposed to represent countless problems and crimes that people who set up this system commit. Let's see how, in my subjective, biased opinion, these three handle this task.

Vox is... huh, Tumblr sggxy man... yeah... he's got a beef with Alastor... hmm, did I mention he's sggxy? So yeah, that's definitely a character that exist. He fucks with Val a lot, but if his head wasn’t a literal TV, I don't think it would be that easy to figure out that he is THE television as a whole. He looks more like a random television host who really hates radio... or really wants Alastor. It's up to the free interpretation of the viewer. The problem of disingenuous advertising, corruption, and straight-up disinformation on TV is elegantly skipped. I think those are too heavy topics for an 18+ not for kids series.

Valentino, also known as the worst design downgrade in history, is just a criminally underwritten character, especially for a topic as serious as the porn industry. He is just a huge spit in the face to every victim of the porn empire. I hope minimal people of this kind are going to watch Hazbin Hotel. And, by the way, did you know he's a fucking moth? BECAUSE HE IS, BRO. HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A MOTH! How did they possibly mess up the design that badly? What's up with the stripes on his coat? And as if purposefully, the ugliest of the three feathers is left on his noticeably smaller hat. I understand the concept of simplifying design to make it animatable, but Viv, for some reason, decided to make him a fucking highlighter marker rather than a slightly threatening, charismatic moth.

Velvette, Velvette, Velvette... where do I even begin with you? The fact that Velvette is on a day-to-day basis chilling with the porn industry and TV empire... and I know, I know (Hazbin fans' favorite word alert), that Velvette is CANONICALLY an ageless demonic being or whatever the fuck Vivienne said on her stream. But I haven't been on her single stream; however, I watched the show in its entirety, and that's what I know. Every time Velvette is on screen, she acts like a 14-year-old at best.

I would like to ask you to take a look at this fuckass Jacks vs Skibidi Toilet rap battle.

This looks like a conversation between mother and daughter at a family dinner.

The fact that she is not the tallest didn’t help either. Her appearance and her attitude just rub me the wrong way, and I have a hard time taking her as an adult, if I'm being completely honest. Soooo, as we already found out, Velvette symbolizes the fashion industry, an empire that dictates to people all across the world what to wear, what beauty products to use, and why, specifically, they are ugly, unfuckable, and therefore don't deserve to be loved. And Velvette is the face of this system. A woman of color who acts 14... is the root of the industry that affects women the most... Is a woman... It just comes off as victim-blaming and creepy to me. Vivienne Morano actually said, “So, have you considered that you are the problem?” to a weman who had suffered from toxic beauty standards. And intentional or not, it's just not the best message to put in your work, especially if it’s supposed to promote support for women's rights.
