Helluva Boss Season 2 Episode 6 - But only when Crimson is on screen

Crimson: “I said watch them, not FUCK them!” That destroyed me XDDDD

You gotta admit though, Crimson have guts to dare the wrath of an Overlord.

I'm honestly happy they brought Crimson back in this episode and that we see him interacting with Striker, to be honest, while still an asshole Crimson is a much more likable and entertaining villain to me when he's not being abusive to our favorite imp possum. My respect for him has increased this episode because he had the guts to mess with, insult, and threaten a ruler of one of Hell's rings.

First they screw with stolas, and now Ozzie, I’m guessing there’s gonna be a build up of these villains that will team up against IMP

I can't believe Crimson is back! Not only that, but he and Striker have teamed up and captured Fizzarolli and Blitz! That is so cool and crazy at the same time, but I wondered what happened to Crimson after the warehouse fell on him and his goons plus I love how Crimson, Striker, and the other goons are confused when Fizzarolli is singing Look At This. Overall, I just wanted to say this, welcome back Crimson and Striker.🤩😬😂😏

0:33 Striker: GET OVER HERE!!!

Crimson came back earlier than I expected.

Viv... I know we're not supposed to like Crimson... But you're making it too damn hard... I'm sorry but WHY IS HE SO FINE MAH BOY'S BUILT LIKE A WHOLEASS PEAR HE COULD THROW ME AT THE BOTTOM OF A RIVER AND I'D THANK HIM

3:06 They’re faces 😂

Crimson better go underground unless he wants a personal meeting with Ozzie.

And lastly, Crimson had little buildup in the series overall. Even then, saying that he had buildup is a bit of a stretch considering that the build up he had was a throwaway line Moxxie said in the first episode. ''Maybe like a bad dad, or a mob family. That's understandable.'' Crimson hasn't been hinted at, at all throughout the first season. For instance, the main protagonists and Stolas (and Octavia) go to Loo Loo Land. Which is an amusement park located in the Greed ring. Who lives in the Greed ring and is very infamous? Crimson does, and Crimson just happens to be infamous. Despite the physical similarity and the fact that Moxxie worked for Crimson for most of his life, nobody in Loo Loo Land pointed out that the fact that Moxxie was part of Crimson's mob or even looked similar to Crimson. They just ignored him. Another example is in Truth Seekers, Moxxie goes into a bad hallucination due to the Truth Gas, yet the only person he sees in his hallucination is Blitzo. Not Crimson nor his mother. But if we were to believe that Crimson is important to Moxxie's life, then wouldn't he be included in his hallucination and not flashback? Just some food for thought.

stolas' cough and the laugh caught me off guard 😂

Now to add a new comment for this next reason: 2. Crimson is not threatening at all. I mean, when you think about it, Crimson isn't really a threat to the main cast. He's not physically strong, imposing, or intelligent, and his goons aren't better either. Just generic dumb and useless goons that get easily defeated. Why do I think he's weak, you may ask? Well, it's because he mainly relies on his goons to do the fighting for him. But when he's alone and is confronted with a violent individual, he backs off like the wimp that he is. There are two instances like this in Exes and Oohs. When Mille was trying to kill Chaz and Chaz hid behind Crimson, Crimson tried to calm Millie down as if she were a rabid dog. After Crimson's goons are killed, way too easily, I might add, Crimson never tries to fight Millie himself. Instead, he just gives up Moxxie to her and pouts like a big baby. Like, I know crime lords aren't supposed to be fighters and all, but they should've way more guts. Crimson does not have guts. Next, his goons are all weak and useless. Millie was able to kill a good handful of them in Exes and Oohs and with minimal difficulty, no less, thus, removing any tension from the scene, making the scene uninteresting. Another good amount of them were killed by Fizzarolli and Blitzo, the former isn't even a fighter at all, and yet, he still defeated the goons easily. Are all of his goons made out of paper mache or something? So, not only is Crimson physically weak, but his goons are also bad at killing people. Couldn't they at least do some amount of damage to the main cast? Is Crimson running a mob? Or is he just running a club for insane sharks?

Now Cut I SAID CUT IT YOU FUCKING Bro didn’t even give him a second 😂💀

If Crimson did return, that would be terrifying

Imagine if he kidnapped Charlie for ransom, Lucifer would just erase Crimson easily

I can honestly say that Crimson is a terrible antagonist. Let's go over a few reasons why: 1. For a crime boss, he's pretty stupid. Crimson is probably the second most stupid antagonist in Helluva Boss, right behind Stella. The many things that leads me to conclude that Crimson isn't smart is the fact that he didn't check if Chez was telling the truth, the fact that he sent Moxxie and Chaz to do a heist with no getaway vehicle, no weapons, or anything to cover their faces. Lastly, he got distracted by Fizzarolli's distraction song. Let's tackle these instances of stupidity one at the time, shall we? Crimson never bothered to check whether or not Chez was rich throughout Exes and Oohs because if Crimson did, then he would've killed Chaz right then and there. Despite being a crime lord, he almost got bamboozled by one of his former lackeys. That is just embarrassing. Like, all it took to convince Crimson that Chaz wasn't rich was Blitzo just telling him that. I wish I was kidding. Apparently, Crimson is also gullible, as he will believe anything you tell him. The second instance is that Crimson couldn't even do a heist right. Crimson tasked Moxxie and Chaz to rob a bank, which again makes me question what exactly his mafia does. But when we look at the heist, we see that Moxxie and Chaz don't have weapons to defend themselves, they don't have a getaway vehicle, nor do they have masks to cover up their identity. And since there is law enforcement in hell, that has led to Moxxie getting caught and thrown to jail, and Chaz being likely the most wanted man. Had Crimson planned out the heist in the first place, then Moxxie and Chaz would've succeeded, and Moxxie would've still be working under Crimson. But nope! Moxxie gets caught, Chaz gets away, all because Crimson wasn't intelligent enough to think all of that through for a heist. Also, Crimson holding Fizzarolli hostage in Oops was stupid as well. If Crimson failed to contain Fizzarolli, and Fizzarolli escapes, then Crimson would have to worry about one of the Seven Deadly Sins coming after him. I didn't think crime bosses were this careless because if they were, then there would definitively be fewer crime lords on earth. (also, who smokes a cigar just to put it out?) So, with that in mind, you'd think Crimson would do everything in his power to make sure Fizzarolli doesn't escape, right? Well, let's see what he does instead. Crimson walks out where he's holding Fizzarolli and Blitzo hostage. Off to a bad start, but hey, at he improves, right? He got distracted by Fizzarolli's singing instead of shooting Fizzarolli or at least restraining him. Are you kidding me? You know, with the lack of intelligence Crimson has, it's pretty surprising that he's still alive, even more so surprising that he is still a crime lord.
