What is it with media blowing their load early these days? There's no preventing them from slowly becoming some huge MCU style plot no one asked for slowly over time naturally. The X Files is a great example of evolving from Monster-of-the-Week to an overarching big story. Adventure Time had a big overarching story, but it took time for that story to warm up... like a lot of time. In the meantime there were a bunch of standalone stories.
Anyway, really good and unique take that I haven't seen a lot but rings true. It absolutely feels like a bait-and-switch from the original proposition, which was definitely more slice-of-life-of-freaks-seeking-redemption.
The fact that they prioritized Helluva Boss (which does follow that type of storyline), on their own YouTube (which they have control over), whereas Hazbin was put onto Amazon Prime with only 8 episodes honestly is what I think caused it.
My gut instinct was to assume they had to agree to certain conditions to get onto Amazon Prime and the money from that is what got us Helluva Boss (which if you haven't watched that, it's so fuckin good)
Helluva Boss had a stronger start, but it also quickly devolved into the same tedious "I just learned to cuss" type humor.
