They could have also layered her in episode 6, as they had set up how she has a prejudice against Hellhounds, and since Loona is SUPPOSED to be another main character, they could have bounced off of one another and worked together to save Blitz and Moxxie….yet they didn’t do that either. And the thing is…once again they HAD the chance to layer her, they could have done so in episode 5 because they literally set up how they’re going to her home town and meeting her parents, yet the writers don’t do that. Millie is literally part of this main cast, and yet she’s just the badass happy wife and that’s it. Part of the problem is that this show…let’s be honest, is now mainly centered around Stolitz, when Stolas at the start wasn’t even supposed to be a main character. The show had time to develop characters like Moxxie, Blitz, and Stolas, but Millie is one of the 4 main characters and yet she has zero development. Millie is introduced as Moxxie’s wife, a badass girl yet having a sweet side, and….that’s it. Of course until they wanted to make the show story driven and character driven at the same time, becoming a deep show as well. The show introduced itself as a comedy about demon assassins, a show kinda like The Office where these characters just bounce off of one another.
Helluva Boss on the other hand kinda has no excuse. More importantly the Owl House is story driven, so that’s why Amity needed to be one note so they can progress her later.
Helluva Boss and The Owl House are….completely different shows in many ways. Honestly to sum this up, Amity was clearly introduced as one note because the writers clearly did that on purpose so they can build up her character for the story. She was the mean girl that needed to be put in her place, because she was driven so hard to be the one to succeed (foreshadowing her future backstory with her parents on how she was pressured to be perfect). Amity was introduced to be this one note character from the start because her purpose was to change eventually thanks to Luz, as well as set up their future romantic relationship. I see what you mean, however Amity is different from Millie. But I don’t stand alone in being angry at this cruel, foolish world, the one which looks at children and teaches them “You are not worth anything, you have no value or sanctity just because you are human,” and laughs and calls us childish when we say we deserve better than that. I only have two hands to make any piece of art with, and I will only ever have (at most, at my most fortunate) two hands. An anger in a single direction, with one edge like a knife, to cut the world down the middle and into a better shape, and hand it to everyone like halves of an orange.
I want to wield it and make something so angry that everybody will be angry with me. If anger is powerful, I want to use that anger. But I remember with every second what it was like to live a life without the luck I’ve been given, and I see the people that get denied it every day. In some ways it’s more terrifying, having the responsibility of making a good life for myself from good foundations. The past year has been about understanding who I am when my back isn’t against the wall.
