Crimson's ORIGINAL Design in Helluva Boss

Did you know this in Helluva Boss?

In past videos i’ve discussed the original designs of some of the shows characters. In this one i’ll cover one of the antagonists, being moxxie’s father crim.

So originally crimson’s full name was crime, before it was changed to crimson. In a tweet in 2023 viv revealed why he’s called crim. His body guard is called allessio, or al. So they’re crim n’ al.

In early concept art for his debut in ex’s and ooh’s, crim sports a different design. He’s far more buff, has an open shirt revealing his chest and he actually resembles striker a bit.

In the final episode crimson appears much different, resembling his son and having richard horvitz as his voice actor.

Similarly to stella, i think crim got a massive glow up in his final design. He resembles moxie, but moxxie stands out since he has his mother’s freckles, legs and tail. I think crim’s short stature emphasises his role better since he’s the boss who gets his goons to do his dirty work for him, so he doesn’t need to be muscular.

What do you think? Let me know down below.

Yea at least we didn’t get buff Crim
The amount of simps for him would be catastrophic

[redtailarts]

Crimson being small in stature didn't stop him from being intimidating. So I like the subversion. He's still very scary.

[abstraction]

I think his old design would have been nice but the current design is also great.

I love how Crim just looks like a rough version of Moxxie

[carolynp]

I love both. They each make sense. For the first one, it's clear they were trying to put more emphasis on the whole "mafia boss" title. Having him be more intimidating and making it clear, he holds power. With the final design, i feel we got to see a "yin amd yang" vibe. Yes, he looks like Moxxie, but we see clear differences between him and Crimson and still get a strong "mafia boss" vibe. It just feels more secretive and sinister since they shrunk him. Making it better. Also, gotta love the name play. They were smart with that.

I think both of his designs are cool, his earlier design resembles Striker and Vito Corleone from The Godfather. Although I love his design he has now because we want his design to be unique and he's got his Sharks in the Mafia to be muscular too. Also the name Crimson and Alessio are a great idea especially with the word "criminal". Plus it's funny you made this short about Crimson because The Godfather's Anniversary is tomorrow.😯🙂😈🌃🥃🔫

I wish they’d’ve beefed Crim up some. I agree as the boss he wouldn’t have to do anything. But he’s sadistic and enjoys it. Hauling, disposing of, and mutilating corpses will make you a little buff.

[GilliganTF]

I think the idea of a buff mob boss that sends others to do his work is good because it lets you know that he has the power to do it himself, but he rather have someone do the dirty work

Making him more menacing if he's having a talk with someone alone like Moxxie for example, not knowing what he's gonna do next

[Rosewolf]

If Crim was buff and with the open shirt it would make more sense for him to be a mob boss. Big scary looking, trying to be the Don.

[Actionfan]

I like how Richard uses his Kaos voice for Crim.

[sazdc]

I'm so glad they didn't stick with the name "crime", that'd would've been the goofiest shit even for HB

[araanimations]

Interesting how much more of a muscle-guy he was. Kind of a Kingpin type villain before the small schemer we have. In my opinion weak characters make for better mafia-specific bosses.

[amandawilliamson]

I honestly think he got a glow down. Like he’s just is moxxie without freckles when he could’ve been buff intimidating moxxie.

[Screxle_Logan]

The fact that he's small shows how terrifying he is. Being a big buff dude, people wouldn't see much of his true intimidation. But being such a small dude, it shows he's a horrific person.

[Zebra_coloredfella]

Old design could have proved Moxie and striker being brothers (yet again Moxie and striker are brothers in the non canon analog horror, The helluva tapes archives)

[wolfiedabrony]

I met Richard Horvitz this past August and I told him I was amazed how he was able to sound intimidating using a voice similar to moxie. He decided to refresh some of the episode and cen shivers down my spine when he gave me that signature smile!

[FlarAstro]

If crimson was actually buff in the show, the amount of people that would simp for him is crazy asf

[DadRoses]

I'm sorry but if that original design stuck I would simp over him 😭 (ONLY FOR THE DESIGN OKAY?!)

[queenvictoria]

We were robbed! Of his original design

[ReggiePeters]

In that episode, Moxxie was basically just arguing with himself
