I did enjoy hazbin to a certain extent, but I think it really struggled in some areas, especially for people who were new to the show and uninvolved in the fandom. Also Velma was 1000% worse, I just think it's very funny how the mentioned areas are becoming recurring problems in adult animation
Velma was exactly the same in that regard; they were banking on the love people already had for Scooby-Doo, specifically the Mystery Incorporated sassy Velma, to make their show work. Granted, Velma was a dumpster fire that was a huge character assassination to every pre-existing character involved
desperately needed people to know and like the characters going in. Most people I've talked to about Hazbin were huge fans of the OG pilot and dedicated 5 years of their life to this pilot and these characters, which i feel is kind of a requirement to be able to fully enjoy the show.
i'm not trying to shit on hazbin because velma was definitely worse, but both shows have really poor pacing, couldn't decide if it was a comedy or a drama (but didn't really give themselves the time to establish themselves as a dramedy) and-
I've now watched Hazbin Hotel and Velma and to be honest man. they are both very similar shows
i should write like two chapters of Airachnid blowing out Dreadwing's back while the rest of the fic is going on
every day of my life i regret not including Airachnid into Stress Relief
i think i've finally drawn enough airachnid sketches to be confident to post her, which. thank god i can draw my babygirl
