What can I say? For once, I have just been lazy, and for a while, it was nice not doing much, but now it has caught up with me and I feel bad for being purposely absent. I hope this little video can make up for my time.

As for the latest few episodes, I’ll go ahead and share my quick thoughts:
Most importantly, I do feel bad for Octavia. I do hope that she finds comfort in those who value her (not her parents), but maybe someone like Loona? Maybe the castle staff? Maybe even Moxxie and Millie? I really liked that Octavia stood up for herself, that she actually let herself confront Stolas and didn’t let him get his way with his empty apologies and excuses. She has every right to feel the way she does, because unfortunately, she is right, Stolas chose Blitz over her, and even when he wanted to choose her, he still got coddled, and he still put himself before her. It is rather unfortunate that we don’t know too much about who Octavia is or if she hangs out with anyone, and throughout the show, has only ever dealt with her father’s crap.
Stolas was WAY TOO LATE to be seeking out Octavia. It took him losing his royal privileges to realize that he had essentially screwed everything up. Stolas kept wanting someone to genuinely love him, while he kept ignoring his daughter, who, for some reason, kept forgiving him. Like, dude, you want someone to love you?! Your daughter is right there, maybe you should take care of her?! Stop looking for “romantic” love when you just got out of a loveless arranged marriage and are way too vulnerable to be doing so.
I know Stella is awful, but I feel we were robbed to know more of her character. Since most of these characters are “good” yet flawed, wouldn’t it only be fair to do the same for Stella? At the very least, to understand why she is shallow and unhinged, besides just wanting Stolas’s fortune? I was really hoping that even if Stella was terrible to Stolas, then she could have somewhat of a good relationship with Octavia, but I guess that was just too much to hope for. I got really intrigued with their hug, but then of course, that villainous smile ruined all of my hope!
I’ll go further into my issue with Millie’s character direction in a later video, but I’ll say now that if you remember in my last helluva boss video I made (in October), I mentioned that it would be cute if Moxie and Millie would become parents, thinking it would never happen (thinking Helluva Boss couldn’t stray any further from their original plan) but now I deeply regret mentioning that, because now it seems Millie is going to keep being reduced as a character instead of explored (it’s not that they wouldn’t be good parents, it’s that a baby plot is not a good choice for a show that is supposed to be about a murder business)

Since Apology Tour, this show has really pissed me off, and watching the newly released episodes have become a drag, feeling nothing at best or feeling frustrated at the character coddling or wasted potential. However, nothing compares to what I have actually learned about the creator herself (it’s bad), and since then, I have decided that I will only make one or two more videos with Helluva Boss, before I cut myself off from the show entirely (I’ll still engage with fan content like analysis videos, just not the show itself)
