What do y'all think about Villainous? Have you seen it? Is Miss Heed best girl??? Lemme know down in the comments!

[absolite]

Been watching the show since 2017. The fact that CN basically ignores this show is a crime.

[attackonponyproductions]

Dude, don't spend 50k on an AMV of Miss Heed chasing you.

Edit: Yeah, I already know about the animation. Tbh, it's actually really good.

[Irreverent_Radiation]

It's so ironic knowing that **"AI Studios"** is actually pretty good at animating stuff by hand.

[devinnall]

Whoever was in charge of getting Markiplier to voice Buffhat deserves a raise

Ok so, i'm a mexican fan here, been following the Animated franchise since the first shorts and theres some stuff that had to explain that can easily been missunderstood by Saber's video review:

1.- AI Animation is not referenced for "Artificial Inteligence", those are just the creator's initials Alan Ituriel, i mean, it's kinda obvious, just like Walt Disney Animation, or Joey Drew Studios.

2.- He is actually right about a fact: The Animated Pilot was originally animated by a same group of artist who eventually end up working for Vivizie's Spindlerhorse studio for the Helluva Boss series. There was some controversy as they apperently not been properly credited in the pilot episode, making even a fuzz about how any of them had been treated during the production, which it didn't go anywhere cause, apart of the obvious that it's at fault of CN to just not credit everyone involved because that how had always goes with animated TV Productions in the credits, it was only complaints without any evidence or a oficial report of investigation about abuse, mistreatment or been underpaid... So anyway, those folks at the end they would later reach/found Vivzie and the rest is history (for now, cause you know, this is Vivzie who we are talking about and there now stuff "leak" about how they are paid on Helluva in contrast on how others had been paid for Hazbin's series as well).

3.- So as you know (and we known here too) Cartoon Network had been suffered for a lot of nonsense happening with the attempt of fusion with AT&T and recently to what nowadays (for now) is known as the Warner Bros. Discovery with Mr David "Layoffs Everywhere" Zaslav, drowning almost all the CN and Warner Bros Animation proyects...

Those first six episoded had been already been done years before it's official release for our HBO Max, and it not even the rest of the first season, there's not explanation whatsoever on what's been happening of CNLA keep Villanous animated series at halt, but it might be possible that this is something related to what had been going around the higherups at burbank, with new administrations and changes of infrastructure, makes sense that there had been shake ups for the CNLA administraction too... Yet, that been said, it's a miracle that Villanous among any other proyects at Latin America had survived this far with those recent changes, and aparently they are now interested in stoping the halt and release those new episodes eventually, i mean, the transition from HBOmax to MAX will already reach at the Latin American Region this february so we at least expect to see those new episode in the rebranded plataform eventually.

4.- Believe it or Not, there's a lot of stuff been presented and released in this franchise, despite the fact that Villanous is property of CN and WBD in multimedia, Alan and his studio had kept the rights to the IP of the series, and so a lot of stuff had been made and release only in Mexico, like books and audiobooks, plushies(?), and alot of stuff that can be found outside of any kind of media.

5.- And that's not all, there's alot of lore and worldbuilding stuff that had been presenting in social media for a while, it's not only with Missheed's Intagram, but also there's another acount from Penumbra (the first original villian presented in the pilot) that features everything that had happend in between the pilot and the other 5 episodes as it follows another perpective of Misshead chasing her until gets hypnotised by Heed, which eventually is been followed by it's been followed by the first web-comic "Rescate Reducido" (Reduced Rescue).

And recently there's another one, "Atraco Arriesgado" (Risky Heist?), that follows the story of another 2 original villians commissioned to kidnap Miss Heed and give here a Vendetta for the event of the last 2 episodes, as a bigger conspiracy is been unraveled; i really recomend this one first if you want to know what else had happend to heed afterwards that "mid-season" finale thing, and had a glimps of what will the animated series story will go in the next episodes.

6.- As you are aware, it's not just Heed, but almost with all the original characters both female and males too (especifically a new Original Villian featured in the second webcomic), had that "appeal" on pourpose, despite the franchise is targeted to a children/familiar demografic, they had been too aware that their fans and community are conformed by teenagers and younger adults, and there had been a bunch of teasing artworks sketches and stuff that had been shared by the studio artists in social media, and even some made by alan himself, so yeah, nothing out of ordinary, but if any of you wan't to look out for more of Head outside her instagram, you should follow them too! 😉

And that's it, there's like alot more things but it's better that you find it yourselves, not only because i can't summarize everything you need to now if you want to get in the wagoon, but because i'll would spoil the surprise of interesting thing that you may find too unbelievable to been featured for this particular cartoon franchise.

[BugsyFoga]

The show that has Markiplier as a freaking bear.

[blazelightzero]

I can't believe Saberspark lost to his impulses and shilled out $50, 000 for a Miss Heed music video. How could this have happened? How will we cope?

[rogersmith]

Saberspark thirsting over a cartoon character? Who would have thought?

[electrobob]

Before people ask or mention it.
The reason characters in this and Hazbin Hotel/ Helluva Boss look similar is not because they are based off each other.
But instead, both were inspired by the same things.
Invader Zim, and Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
Same origins, different audiences.

[FMUlloa]

If you don’t know… there is a OFFICIAL spin off comic in the Cartoon Network site (at least here in Latin America) which was drawn in association with a NSFW artist named “Gerph” the comic is not +18 but boy. There is a of potential nsfw panels in that short series

[AGatewayPC]

Why would you call your studio AI, artificial inteligence is a real problem you

Alan Ituriel: Those are, literally, my initials...

[MrWaspMan]

This show is so underrated. And it's a shame CN completely ignored it. I'm glad someone is finally talking about it. The character and world designs are awesome, it's super action packed, and Black Hat is one of my favorite characters in anything. He reminds me a lot of Alastor, and that's a very good thing.

[Jonathan_Collins]

Can we appreciate that this show made a Rick Roll and a JoJo Reference? The creators are cultured.

[montserratalmonds]

As a Mexican American, I usually watch media in English, with a few exceptions, and this one is sooo much better in Spanish!!! Its just the jokes and a few words don't traslate well. And I love the voice cast in Spanish! Dr.Flug is voiced by the the Spanish latin James from early pokemon. I love it❤❤

[InkVirtualDraugr]

*there’s actually A LOT lore on this show with hidden websites and cryptic messages, mostly about the cults surrounding black hat himself and how he possessed a cultist so he can actually take form physically because his true form is so eldritch (I can talk about how black hat is literally Nyarlathotep from cthulu mythos, there’s a couple references to Azathoth from cthulu mythos too)

[craniifer]

I love this shoe. It's obnoxious how CN actively wants this to fail. Seriously, requiring me to have a VPN PLUS HBO is some bullshit.

[IsThisJd]

FINALLY someone is talking about this show! I love that the designs are extremely unique and memorable.

[inkling]

Yes, I remember the controversy when the pilot came out. That SEVERAL animators weren't even CREDITED, and the internet was OUTRAGED. So I was surprised that the series still pushed on, despite all of that.

[garrettviewegh]

I can easily imagine Bill Cipher, Black Hat, and Alistor, smiling like maniacs as they always do, drinking tea. While causally talking about how many people they’ve wronged/killed throughout the years. Trying to top each other on who is the most cruel, by swapping stories.
