Anyways the season two trailer made me wanna jump out of a window because in what world would Adam "grieved my son so much I vanished into the woods for 130 years according to some texts that may or may not be canonical" from the Torah, Bible and the Qur'an hate Abel?? Like. Excuse me??? What are you talking about Vivienne???

I swear if this show fucks up more myths ill crash out. Can't wait for her to like randomly reference Jesus and Mary and make Mary and abusive bitch mother or something since she's hell-bent on making all parents awful for no reason.

Like. Viv..if you wanted characters who have terrible parents Abraham was right there. Joeph and his brothers if you wanted more nuanced stuff. Why are you slandering Adam ??

????? Oh my god???? Adam???? Hi??????

How did the new episodes manage to be worst

Literally. It's like when you don't think it can get any worse, these two episodes were the worst ones yet in my honest opinion

Episode 3 made me lose what little respect I had left for Charlie and Husk. Charlie for obvious reasons and Husk because he saw that Angel was obviously uncomfortable and scared, and then sided with Charlie. And the argument between him and Angel is so forced, not mention Husk threatening him with physical violence at one point, which is, once again, played for comedy

But I did like the Pentious/Cherry song, if only we got to see them actually become characters first and interact with each other outside of one singular episode. Also there is no reason for Baxter to be here, he's a pointless character that barely shows up

And episode 4 is so unbelievably racist it's insane, and I'm not just talking about the Alastor/Rosie song (a horrible decision to do this to my girl Rosie) but Niffty's song too. At one point during the Japanese section Charlie legit goes "Can anyone even understand this?" Which is just completely unnecessary and didn't need to be put in at all

I honestly just wish Niffty was an actual character instead of just "the crazy one" I will die on my hill of saying Loser, Baby should've gone to Husk and Niffty, since he can actually relate to her situation considering they're both owned by Alastor

Vox's whole reason for hating Alastor is so stupid, he was literally mean to him once 70 years ago. Sure, everything that was said was unnecessary and probably felt like a huge betrayal at the time, but still; 70 years ago. Also I am not falling for the woobification of Vox when he was a cult leader in his life. You're not going to make me coo and fawn over the cult leader

One last thing, is it just me or are the songs pretty lackluster in this season compared to the first? Because even though season 1 still wasn't great it at least had catchy, fun songs. And so far season 2 only has three songs I like. Idk but I hope the songs pick back up again

Any thoughts on it?

My expectations are, obviously, not very high for it. It's clear Vivzie does not know anything from the Bible except the name of the characters. It is not the Adam and Abel from the Bible that we know, it is just random guys with their names slapped onto it

Why is Vox framed as a higher threat than fucking heaven? It would make more sense if the Vees were the main antagonists of season one, and then heaven. And for my rewrite specifically, I'd have the Vees, then heaven, and then Lucifer as the biggest threat for season 3

For example, Niffty is Japanese right? But her clothing is supposed to allude to 50s American housewives. Considering how Japanese ppl were treated in America during and after WW2 and just. How nonexistent women's rights were, they could've done so many things with her but they just DIDN'T

LIKE THIS IS AN ADULT SHOW! IT COULD DELVE INTO SO MANY DARK TOPICS IF IT HANDLED THE HISTORICAL ASPECT OF ITS CHARACTERS INSTEAD OF TREATING IT LIKE JUST AN AESTHETIC

This. Exactly this

It's actually really disappointing because they could do so much with this concept. Outfits, the way they talk, character interactions, etc. Yet they talk like edgy teenagers instead of actual nuance. Vivzie claims that these shows are mature and deep or whatever but come on be fr 💀

How we feeling?

oh shit I forgot to answer this 💀

Anyways, surprise surprise the writing sucks. They turned Angel's abuse into a joke for people to laugh at, they made Valentino a wide-eyed bumbling idiot who everyone thinks is cute and hot, and not to mention Pentious' backstory, it sucks. It's genuinely terrible.

The pacing for the songs is weird too, in episode two there's no songs until the back half of it with all of them right after the next

Also Vox with the "We now know angels can be killed." What? You already knew that. In case you forgot Velvette confronted Carmilla about it in the first season

Seriously people are just so infruating how does take it for very long time to find out lucifer name in the bible wasn't about him but more of symbolism toward a human king and seven deadly sin that is also human creation that later added to christianity

If any of you wanting to look more context around the bible go follow dan mcllelan he is a scholar
