So...I've always thought that both the song Stolas sang in ep. 2 and Via's nightmare were meant to be some kind of foreshadowing.
Today I was going through my favorite Stolas moments (as I should) and heard the song again…
Here are my thoughts:
What if Via's nightmare in ep.2 is, in fact, foreshadowing the 2nd part of the finale?
Hear me out: a lot of people have stated that they think the 2nd part of the final episode could be set on Stolas's house with a big, epic, fight between the I.M.Ps, Stolas, and Striker himself; however, I think this could take another turn.
My theory is that Stolas is going to be totally alone in his mansion when he's confronted and defeated by Striker, who'd then take him hostage.
This makes perfect sense in my brain because, in the last episode, Stolas mentioned that Via was "with her mother this weekend"–implying that the events that take place during ep. 7 happened on a Friday or a Saturday night, as well as ensuring that Stella knows Stolas is alone. She also probably knows he isn't feeling his best–let's remember that they were married, maybe not in love, but married—Stella surely knows Stolas enough to have an idea of how he feels with all that has happened.
With all of this, she'd think it to be the perfect moment to attack our poor king: he's vulnerable and alone.
Stella has the upper hand, and she takes advantage of this.
Back to Via. I don't have this whole thing fleshed out, but, what if Via came back Sunday afternoon to stay with her dad the rest of the week––assuming this is how they (Stolas and Stella) decided to split their quality time with her––just to find out that he isn't home? This would also match with the foreshadowing idea since, in Via's nightmare, she tried to look for her dad all around the palace and "he wasn't there".
Now, how'd Blitzø and the gang find out about all of this? (Bc,c'mon...they're most definitely meant to get involved if something like this does happen)
Well my partake in that is that Via (being the smart girl she is) will feel that something's just not right and, knowing Stolas' relationship with Blitzø (Loo loo land ep ), she'll straight up go to the I.M.P headquarters and ask for help.
So, the I.M.P's, with all the knowledge they have on Striker and Stolas, will connect the dots and go to his rescue.
There're a lot of plot holes in this, I know, but I just came up with the theory and wanted to save it somewhere :3
Just to CLARIFY: I don't think Stella would make Stolas a hostage but Striker, however, could definitely take his job a 'little' step further.
Here's the progress I'm not done I just need to color it that's it @petitprincess1 hope you like it so far I struggled 😂😅
One of the main things that annoys me in Helluva Boss (among the other problems of the show) is that they make Striker and his ideas look ridiculous but he actually got a fucking point.
His whole point is literally just being a low class person who wants equal rights. He's right- the rich and powerful abuse the poor, the system is rigged against his people, it's not fair.
Yeah Ozzie and Stolas are good, it doesn't mean they're not part of the problem of social hierarchies. They're not actively trying to change things, they're letting the problem still happen- even if they have a soft spot for Blitz and Fizz.
The system still sucks. And it's working against imps.
But he's a joke of a villain, his ideas not taken seriously and not explored beyond the first episode he appeared in.
He's not treated seriously as a character.
He's wrong in his ways of execution, but I admit- the man has a point.
He doesn't come close to being my favorite character from the show, the amount the show made him look ridiculous made me dislike him.
Liked him in the first episode but after it he was just an eh. But he has a fucking point.
