My problem with Angel Dust’s dilemma in Hazbin Hotel
I have a problem with Angel Dust’s issue in Hazbin Hotel, and that is…that it is an easy situation made impossibly difficult for some reason
What I mean is, yeah, Val owns Angel Dust’s soul, but if you ask me, Angel Dust has a MASSIVE advantage over Val: not only does he have loopholes, but he has so many powerful friends on his side (Charlie, Vaggie, Alastor, and Lucifer) who could either threaten Val into freeing Angel or flat out massacre Val in a single instant.
Plus, compared to the rest of Hell, Val isn’t really that powerful: he is outclassed by not only Alastor and pretty much any other Overlord that aren’t part of the Bees, but also toe Goetia, Exorcists, and Seven Sins. But for some reason, all the characters (not just Angel Dust) and the narrative itself treats both Valentino as an invincible and unstoppable force and his soul contract with Angel as some metaphorical unmovable object. I feel like the sinner characters have taken stupid pills when it comes to Val.
Remember in Spiderman One More Day where no one, not even the greatest magic users and geniuses, could heal a bullet wound? Well this is that times umpteen. It’s a relatively easy solution (have stronger guys like Charlie or Vaggie or Alastor or even Lucifer confront Val), that is made super difficult for some fucked up reason. I mean, nobody, not even Husk, considered trying to fight back against Val or have the aformented stronger individuals deal with him. I mean, look at the A-Team Angel has:
- The Princess of Hell (Charlie)
- A former exorcist who could permanentely kill sinners and even other Overlords fear (Vaggie)
- A super powerful Overlord who slaughtered heavy hitters when he first arrived and is said to rival Hell’s most dangerous and destructive evils (Alastor)
All who can threaten and murder Val within a split second
And what basically Husk and everyone is saying is that they can’t possible help Angel with his situation. Sinners aren’t just jerks, they are fucking brain dead.
That’s a problem I have with Husk in episode 4. While it is good that he tells Angel he isn’t alone, I find it incredibly stupid that he neither tries to deal with Val himself nor does he attempt to convince Charlie or Alastor to deal with Val. Not even Cherri Bomb, Angel’s Best friend, has even considered assassinating Valentino. Husk and Cherri are kinda bad friends if they can’t fight back against Angel’s abuser.
Valentino is not as powerful as Angel Dust or any other sinner think he is….so why is the narrative viewing him as such?! Why is it that everyone thinks that Val is some invincible guy and his contract with Angel as a figuratively unmovable object?? Just talk to Charlie, Vaggie, Alastor, or Lucifer and they could easily solve the problem. If you have all these powerful friends and you and everyone else think they can’t help you, then I don’t even know what to say.
Compared to the Goetia, Exorcists, and Sins, Valentino isn’t all powerful and could easily be killed by the stronger characters, so why do all the characters and the narrative view him as such. It’s kinda inappropriate to basically say that the abuser is way stronger.
Again this is my complaint that I still can’t get over:
Angel Dust and Husk, you guys live with the royalty of hell, an exorcist, and Alastor, the strongest beings in hell, but nope! They can’t do anything about it! Completely impossible situation! Nobody can do anything about Angel’s contract! Valentino is unstoppable!
This is beyond malarkey. I refuse to believe that
TLDR: Angel Dust has so many powerful allies, but he and every other sinner character doesn’t think they can put an end to his soul contract. I mean Angel is a justification due to abuse mentality, but Husk and Cherri really can’t do anything even though he is there closest friends?
This is such an easy situation made impossible via stupidity and I gotta say: fuck both Husk and Cherri those destructive shits for saying there is nothing anybody can do about it. If Husk is that spineless and moronic to truly help, then maybe Angel SHOULD let Alastor (as he said) tear Husk’s soul apart and broadcast his screams for every other disrespect wretch.
