Perhaps it is kindest to consider 'Elphie: A Wicked Childhood' as Maguire’s mostly successful rekindling of his long friendship with the title character, whom he views as a more self-realized version of himself.

Though Hedda is sometimes referred to as the female Hamlet, her manic and depressive turns as portrayed by Thompson are perhaps more reminiscent of another Shakespearean staple, none other than Lady Macbeth. Motivated largely by misery, Thompson’s Hedda manipulates many party-goers with her trademark “whimsicality,” whose accompanying “consequences” occur when she realizes that she’s not really fooling anybody.

Like Hazbin Hotel, one of Helluva Boss’ quiet strengths is its seemingly effortless queerness. Stolas and Blitzo’s relationship’s controversy is due to Stolas’ infidelity rather than their gay Hell-borne romance.

Overall, 'Hazbin Hotel' is clearly in its prime as it effectively juggles Deviantart-originated character designs and color palettes with a surprisingly fresh angle on theology, plus memorable music that helps move the story along. Season 2 contains something for almost everybody - that’s the Hazbin guarantee!

“Take this dagger. Slay the boy with it. Capture his soul,” Mephisto instructs Loki, who proceeds to follow his orders to the letter. While this might seem surprising, considering that Loki’s penchant for mischief and lying rival Mephisto’s own, Loki’s ‘tarrying’ as he assists the young prodigy to obtain international acclaim as he feverishly works to perfect his magnum opus, a musical performance that hits suspiciously close to home, yet manages to draw Mephisto's ire.

Season 14 of 'King of the Hill' showcases both Hank’s softly partisan determination to remain true to not only himself, but what he perceives to be baseline reality, something his goofy neighbors, et al often attempt to skirt the boundaries of; and though their escapades often exasperate him, he cares about them enough to (mostly) patiently walk them through whatever they’re missing.
