Helluva Boss Clock - Blog Posts
Reblogging again with more details/episodes because I've been coping with election stress by hyperfixating on HB :3
S1E5: THE HARVEST MOON
16:00: A ticking clock when Striker escapes after trying to shoot Stolas. There’s a shot of Blitz staring out the window in horror and then of Stolas at the festival.
S1E6: TRUTH SEEKERS
The first ticking clock in the intro screen.
3:32 (and a bit before): There’s a clock in the room Blitz and Moxxie are held in by D.H.O.R.K..
S2E1: THE CIRCUS
21:13: After Stolas says, “We are getting the DIVORCE,” while Stella says “How dare you,” the clock starts ticking.
S2E3: EXES AND OOHS
19:00: When Moxxie stands up to Crim there’s a clock in the background (like OP said)
S2E4: WESTERN ENERGY
2:38: Immediately after Stolas says the iconic “Oh shit, am I in danger right now?” after Striker destroys Stolas's phone, when the camera cuts back to Blitz, there’s a clock ticking in the background
S2E6: OOPS
Oh, there's so much in this episode. This episode is kinda weird because there’s a clock (as in the literary device) in the story (e.g., you have until midnight to sign the forms). So some of the clock imagery in Oops might be due to emphasizing the amount of time Fizz has left.
5:22: There’s a clock in Crim’s office when he’s talking to Striker
6:43: The clock starts ticking when it’s time for Ozzie’s appointment with Stolas. Then, when the camera goes to Stolas, there’s a clock behind him and the clock is ticking in the background. Side note but this is the first time we see him after Western Energy. Blitz go give the sad owl a hug. Anyway, this specific scene gets to me because the clock behind Stolas is so prominent and the ticking is so LOUD.
9:08: During the ransom video, Crim draws a clock that starts ticking and then it hits Stolas in the face…
THAT'S not ominous at all...
16:38: This is the second time we come back to the attorney, Stolas, and Ozzie. Stolas is talking, the clock is ticking in the background, and Ozzie is checking his watch. This might just be part of emphasizing the clock in the episode and less of the OVERALL clock though
I don't have the mental capacity to rewatch The Full Moon or Apology Tour rn. I also may be missing some from other episodes.
What I find interesting is that there's no ticking clock in Truth Seekers other than the intro, or in C.H.E.R.U.B. Every ticking clock noise I've heard has been associated with Striker and Crimson, who, for the record, may still be working together. I think it's a sign that Striker and Crimson are going to make a reappearance. They've got beef with Stolas, Blitz, and M&M.
Hey anyone wanta help my conspiracy brain with the ticking clock noise? 😁
Soph pointed out that the ticking clock turns up, at the moment Moxxie goes against his dad's wishes.
So I'm now trolling through the other episodes from True Seekers onwards, (cus no start of ep ticking before that), to see if it's in the background elsewhere.
Guessing it'll be when each of them makes an enemy. Because that seems to link to it speeding up.
Someone want to help?
THERES A TICKING CLOCK IN THE HARVEST MOON WHEN STRIKER ESCAPE (around 16:09) and then the next clock is the intro to Truth Seekers
