Hazbin Hotel Theory?

The Hazbin Hotel show finally came out and it is AMAZING + The spinoff series Helluva Boss releases its final Season 2 episode on December with a trailer releasing yesterday (plus a short).

I would really love to see Film Theory tackle the Helleverse again.

My interpretation of the Murder Drones Lore So Far

(spoilers for literally all of murder drones)

alright, let's go.

So it starts on Earth, where JC Jenson has started sending humans to exoplanets and mining them using the worker drones, autonomous robots built to serve humanity for the entirety of their sad, pathetic existence. Except for the drones employed by rich families, they get personality and a life.

Of course, that doesn't stay like that for long. One day, Tessa James Elliot, the daughter of two JC Jenson corporate higher-ups, goes to the "drone dump" to try and see if she can get something to help fix up all the broken drones around the house. Instead, she finds Cyn, a worker drone with the Absolute Solver mutation, resulting in her having eldritch powers and the like, being essentially a puppet for the Solver. When she meets Tessa and sees her being kind to her, she tries to imitate her. her hairstyle, the bow on her head, her affection for N, everything, because she is the only human that has ever been nice to her. Over time, Cyn and the solver essentially become the same. She also creates backups of the drones she likes in preparation for her plan.

After this is just matpats theory, Cyn turns on the humans, gala massacre, yada yada.

Directly after massacring all the humans in the gala, Cyn finally merges with Tessa, thinking that she is helping her by making her a host of the Solver. She keeps her personality on the outside, but she controls everything on the inside.

After that, she begins creating her army. She installs herself as an administrator on all their OSs, giving them the absolouteSolverString, but she makes it so that she blocks it whenever they boot up, because, as we'll later see, what she does NOT want is more hosts. Even though she blocks the string, she gives them limited Solver abilities, like limb regen and their magic gun/chainsaw/death ray/bubble blower hands. She modifies them physically too, making them taller and giving them their nanite acid and different limbs. She removes the personalities of all the teams except the one with N, J, and V because N "always surprised her". Then she starts her human massacre. She goes full eldritch and spreads across the planet as one singular being, assisting her army of drones as they exterminate all the humans. She also does a core implosion to get rid of any remaining humans.

Meanwhile, on Copper 9, one of the human exoplanets, the humans at Cabin Fever Labs realize what's happening on Earth and somehow procure the Solver's code. From here either they were studying it and accidentally gave it to the drones there, forcing them to work on a patch, or they gave it to them on purpose so that they could develop a patch. Either way, all of their drones seem to have gotten the solver in them. They administer the patch to all of them, but Nori, the only one who doesn't have the patch yet, gets taken over by Cyn/Solver and goes eldritch. The humans chain her up in the church/cathedral thing, the deepest layer of the lab. Cyn sees her opportunity and begins a core implosion, probably trying to kill Nori in the process too, but Yeva, another drone whose patch is in progress and seemingly very close to Nori, intervenes and saves her by administering the patch. But, in the last moments of the Solver's possession, it makes a [NULL] black hole in Nori's hand, which Yeva cuts off, but it falls to the core and implodes it, killing all the humans. The same thing happens on other exoplanets with their labs and their drones, ending all human life on the other planets too.

Yeva and Nori wake up on the surface along with the other CB Labs drones, brains and memories scrambled. We don't know if the patch removes the Solver abilities or just gets rid of the possession, but considering that Yeva wasn't possessed, they might keep their abilities. Nori meets Khan and has Uzi, and Yeva meets someone else and has Doll. Most of the other drones start families and life is good without the humans.

Meanwhile on Earth, Cyn realizes that there are other hosts of the Solver still around on Copper 9, and the other planets too probably. She decides to put her army to use and send teams of them to the exoplanets to eliminate the other hosts, team NJV got sent to Copper 9 with their memories wiped, except V, who retained her memories somehow. With the directive to eliminate all the workers for JC Jenson, they begin their rampage. N kills Nori, Nori ends up in control of her worker core like the solver did with J's core, V breaks into the bunker thing and kills Yeva, Yeva might have gone into her core also, and we get to the events of the show. The pilot episode happens, Uzi's Solver string activates, the Solver activates inside J's core in her corpse, begins doing murders to get parts so it can repair J, and gets killed by N and Uzi in episode 2. Doll orchestrates her plan to get revenge on V with the help of Lizzy for killing her parents by somehow having the foresight that if she killed the entire prom court then V would be prom queen, then N and Uzi show up and save V then Doll sees that Uzi has the solver and disappears. Uzi sees the logos on the bracelets Doll and her mom had and goes to check out Cabin Fever Labs, then she becomes a murder drone.

Cyn, realizing about the patch, decides to go to Copper 9 and destroy the patch and any remaining hosts she can find. She takes a clone of J with her. Her plan seems to also include destroying the planet using her eldritch powers as she did on Earth, then escaping with J. Episodes 6 and 7 happen.

Now for some theorizing about what's going on at the end of Episode 7. My initial stupid thought was that she was somehow inside the core, but the planets you can see in the background prove she's outside Copper 9. It seems that Cyn has created a giant eldritch fire pit thing on the surface so she can eat the planet, but I think that could just be some sky-beam clouds stuff going on. My reasoning for why Cyn is trying to eat the planet is that she seems to want to start a new civilization somehow and be the ruler. As we've seen, she seems to be absolutely fine with letting workers die, and is hell-bent on destruction and the apocalypse.

Alright here's my evidence for all the claims I've made.

For the murder drones having the solver blocked and cyn being an admin on their systems, we have this from the pilot right after N reboots

https://preview.redd.it/ojy92raz37xc1.jpg?width=2940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9d9b8bbc487ccbcc03c0b191f5c1bdf2f62051f

I didn't include this in the theory because I'm not sure how it fits in, but it could still have major implications

https://preview.redd.it/tr4ig4y4r7xc1.jpg?width=2940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e37528b8aadcd38aab20993f783161212569610

it seems as though cyn is/was talking to whatever drone is awakened as a zombie drone in this scene.

After Cyn says "I will not discard you" it says absolute solver and then "access? Y/N"

Cyn might have been selecting drones to be reawakened with the solver activated, but that goes against her desire not to want more hosts

There's also this

https://preview.redd.it/exedsnrpr7xc1.jpg?width=2940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8191593acde21cea6d8874f74f7b993f190917dc

This band is on all the Murder Drone's arms, and it implies they were all marked for disposal at some point.

When Cyn/Tessa appears without a suit in episode 7, she also has this band.

This might imply that the drones were captured, but that doesn't make that much sense. It could imply that Cyn on purpose got them disposed of, but that still doesn't make sense. Honestly, I have no idea. I get the feeling that this is part of some major reveal that's going to happen in episode 8.

How far off was raise the Titanic

Raise the Titanic was a 1980 movie released before the Titanic was found, I suggest a fact based theory on how far off were the film makers geographically and if they would really be able to raise it under the films conditions.

Have the film theorists discovered Dreams of an Insomniac?

Ok so dreams of an insomniac is my favourite analog horror series other than maybe Vita Carnis. Without giving too much away, It's a (currently) 4-part analog horror series about these creatures called the "Veldigun." It's made by the youtuber Pastra and oh my god is it great. I really want the theorist time to maybe do a GT Live reacting to it just because of how great it is, and there's plenty of theory crafting to be done!

Have we talked before about the Dying arts of the music industry?

i feel like that the music industry more recently has dramatically changed over the past couple of years, and while technically in the video we couldn't use the actual content such as copyrighted music, I feel like that it has some potential ideas to look at such as looking at the division between Amazon music and the differences between what we could do before and what we can do now as a result of prices Rising. and I don't know about other ones in particular but I just thought about this idea and I just think it's really interesting and I think this one fits in the best category. let me know what you think.

The Amazing Digital Circus: Is the circus actually meant to be heaven, not hell?

ok here me out, yes i know matpat made the theory about the digital circus being hell and all, and while i personally think he could be right, this needs to be put to text. apologies if someone else already pointed this out, but its something thats keeping me up, and i have a flight to catch tomorrow, so i feel i should put this to text in an attempt to calm me down.

so, the circus being heaven. crazy outta left field idea right? i mean, these people are clearly not happy at all, and heaven is supposed to be a paradise, while the circus, is clearly not one. but is heaven really a paradise? sure in many interpretations of heaven, its seen as a big paradise that only the best of people get to go to, but is it really as much of a paradise as it seems? there have been many examples of heaven not being a paradise in pop culture, from the good place having heavens architects giving up on trying to make it the perfect paradise, thus needing to trick a demon into taking over the role as architect, hazbin hotel shows heaven being full of people who are hating their demonic counterparts for no other reason than "oh they aren't as pure as us!" even non western culture shows heaven as not being the perfect paradise people think it is. aqua refers to heaven as being super boring when talking to kazama in ep 1, basically anything involving heaven in any smt game, disgaea 1 also shows angels as being strict about rules, and those that even break them once being made fallen angels, and many don't respect demons, despite the fact that both beings are equally capable of good and evil, as seen with people like laharl and Krichevskoy being examples of good demons, while vulcanus is a complete monster that manipulates people throughout disgaea 1, and even seraph lamington admits that his plan to peacefully reunite heaven and the netherworld was very manipulative, and that he accepted laharl beating him up as his punishment for it. even other places in pop culture that can be seen as heaven adjacent as a "perfect paradise" often seem to be not that, such as penacony in honkai star rail, elysium in xenoblade 2, hell, even as far back as the original source of heaven, the bible, heaven doesn't really seem to be the paradise everyone thinks it is. lucifer betrayed god, and gathered an army of angels to rebel against him despite being supposedly one of the best angels, heaven is simply referred to as the kingdom of god, and being as close as possible to him, while hell is the furthest away from him (you can thank dante's inferno for the modern interpretation of hell, and renaissance artists for their work on what heaven is like. not once has hell been called a place of punishment aside from being far away from god before dantes inferno as far as i know.)

not only that, but let me ask you this, how do you truly make a perfect paradise? do you personalize it for each person to have their own heaven? if so, what of other heavens that belong to other people? do they interact, or are they all isolated? do you try to give as much appeal as possible? what of the people who's morals do not match what the morals of today are? after all, someone like george washington could be seen by many as a hero and a good person, but remember, he came from the time of slavery, women being seen not having a voice when it comes to a lot of things, and oh yea, basically every goddamn modern hate on others still being super common, such as homophobia, transphobia, hating others for being different due to stuff like being autistic, (combined with mental health mostly not being even being anything beyond "oh its fine, so what if your whole family died from being shredded by a cannonball, we need you to get back to work and make more food for us!") for fucks sake, for a long time people hated others for being left handed! yeah, no joke! its called the devils hand, and well... i'm sure most of you would maybe understand why its been called that, but its still dumb to force people to write with their right hand and not their left just because thats the same hand used for the beating of many meats! so, how do we know our modern morals will get us into the "paradise" that is heaven? what about people of other religions? are they wrong? and if they are, does that automatically disqualify them to be seen as "good people"? are the morals around the years jesus was around the correct ones? should we be throwing stones at women for teaching others? well thats not something i think i should be discussing, and honestly, i don't wanna encourage that kind of behavior to others.

​

i shall say that i do advocate for equal rights for all, regardless of anything that is different between all of us, whether it be religion, gender, race, sexual identity, gender identity, eye color, hair color, or anything else that people could judge you for. i really do not want to encourage anyone to do any kind of violence to another, nor do i want anyone to judge another for anything that isn't seen as a serious crime, such as murder. please do not bring any views into the comments of this post, unless it relates to this theory in some way.

but ok, thats all fine and good, but what does this have to do with the digital circus? i mean, all the characters clash so hard with each other, some clearly aren't good people, and even the ringmaster is named Caine, as in, like the first murderer. (just with an e at the end) but are certain characters really not good people?

looking back at jax's actions, it actually seems like he truly cares about everyone in the circus, but is basically a giant tsundere about it, and preferring chaos as a means to protect the others over other things. he mentioned that he put a centipede in ragathas room, only after she started to have a breakdown talking to pomni. he caused kinger and gangle to fall down the hole only after he heard the roar of the abstracted kaufmo. he was the one who suggested an adventure to help pomni get used to things in the circus, after it seems like she was having a breakdown herself. sure he seems to be a bit antagonistic, but hey, maybe he figures if he can be a villain the others yell at, they can remain distracted from the reality of their situation, and not risk becoming abstracted. hell even caine doesn't really seem to be a super bad guy, just... weird. he did make the fake exit door because he wanted to try and help the other people in the circus, the adventures were made to keep them happy, and while he's chaotic, he seems to care about the safety of the circus dwellers. but hey who knows? episode 2 is almost here, and maybe i'll be wrong. jax could turn out to be as much of an asshole as the everyone thinks he is, caine could be a psychopathic monster who is satan equivalent, and maybe even bubble is secretly some shapeshifting demon servant or something. guess we'll have to wait for episode 2 to see.

This is just a simple post.

Have you seen the new video by Lee it was amazing and top tier plus it still feels like the same ol' type of Theories MatPat used to make. Also in the same vid im reffering to currently(as of me writing this) which is "Could a Stuntman SAVE Your Life?" in the end of it we get to see Ryan Gosling saying the Theory Line.

How Tough Are Anime Character's Bones? (Insert Popular Anime Titles Here)

It makes no sense when anime characters are thrown to a concrete wall, hits it really hard, and shattering it. I'm sure the concrete walls are way tougher than human bones given how it supports skyscrapers and all. So a person surviving it definitely means their bones are tougher right? So, what toughness level are (insert protagonist)'s bones? Metal? Diamond? Or beyond?

From a biological stand point, is it even possible for organic beings to survive impacts like that? Are there any existing mammals with super strong organs that can survive?

Disney villain from rapunzel and snow white are the SAMMEEE??!!

Found this on Instagram.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2u5T8wqrwM/?igsh=MW84bzdocmRsNnJ5ZA==

In the video the commentator tells us the following things

  1. Rapunzel's mother is obsessed with beauty just like the witch from snow white

  2. Rapunzel's mom and snow white witch have there stories connected along the lines of how last scene snow white witch is her falling of a cliff and first scene of rapunzel's mom is her finding the magical plant near a cliff

  3. While the video shows an easter egg of an apple in one of her scenes this is a lot more debatable as it could be nothing to a potential pointer placed by the filmakers to help in understanding her origins
