You think they're adding layers to a forcefield that already exists around the MoL? Cause the Lute part sorta contradicts that
No, Eden. I think that they were adding magical energy to it to form the forcefield, which was being led by Charlie and Emily. That's why it was getting more and more full with more people and power.
Huh? I think they scale to their magic, duh
...which is 5-B...
 
Besides idk what was the point of Rosie glazing Alastor to go help if it was just 9-A fodders singing and becoming sixillions times stronger. Their dialogue seemed that his help was about specifically his power being able to contribute enough to help stop the barrier rather than a random bum with magic via out-of-nowhere Deus Ex Machina power of singing.
(Also, yes, it will literally make the entire scene a massive Deus Ex Machina, though I guess that is not a good point when talking about Hazbin with infamous VivziePop writing)

Ig that's one interpretation. You still sorta need an Energy System to scale them to their pure magic tho
...which is 5-B...
It can't be an Energy System without the song amp, there's no proof for so.
And if you accept the song amp, you accept that their base magic isn't 5-B.

Only Overlords can contribute to the barrier (They the only ones with magic) so like, obviously she'd tell him to go help if he was just looking from the sidelines lol
 
Also now I’m thinking, 1/14th to Lucifer kind of makes sense when you remember that AW killed heavily beaten up General of Exorcists (which I don’t think realistically would lower him to 9-A) and near-100% Vox was able to scratch Vox’s cell while Vaggie’s AW didn’t.

Why not just land some random power just enough to be able to cast magic (something Overlords can do in general, see Alastor-Husk) or take another Overlord (reminder that at Karmilla’s meetings those were “sovereign” Overlords… although this is more speculative I guess). She was clearly mad at him and she definitely hated the idea of rewarding “a snake like him” for defying her.

Husk was already an Overlord beforehand, so that likely plays a role in it and Alastor couldn’t just turn any random Sinner into an Overlord with a single deal.
Grabbing some other Overlord (assuming any were even available) would mean convincing them to help, and that’s not easy, especially since Rosie probably has no connection to them.

Also despite everything Alastor did, think it's pretty clear that Rosie still has some attachment to him.
Plus she's trying to maintain a low-profile and handing out Overlord powers to random Sinners would probably draw way too much attention on her.

Correct.
Husk was already an Overlord beforehand, so that likely plays a role in it and Alastor couldn’t just turn any random Sinner into an Overlord with a single deal.
Fair, but he likely just let him keep souls he owned. Why can’t Rosie temporarily transfer some souls? Or any other Overlord do that?

They would watch themselves die unless they do!
(Although given it would nuke just half of Pentagram, you can have benefit of the doubt that they live far away ig)
Also despite everything Alastor did, think it's pretty clear that she still has some attachment to him.
I think that too, but I don’t think that enough would be to restore his power to fullest after what he did.
Plus she's trying to maintain a low-profile and handing out Overlord powers to random Sinners would probably draw way too much attention on her.
I meant in more conventional ways rather than giving Alastor staffs to anyone. Just giving them souls ig (she clearly owns the entire Cannibal Town).

Taking a few punches to the face and getting up just as fast isn't going to make Adam weaker than Weakened Alastor, come on.
Near-100% Vox isn't even portrayed as all that powerful compared to everyone else, didn't Val break his screen lol
He likely just let him keep souls he owned. Why can’t Rosie temporarily transfer some souls? Or any other Overlord do that?
I assume the less souls she'd have the weaker she'd be, so in the end, it wouldn't be any different than helping by herself? Probably?
Rosie probably isn't even just empowered by souls either, she's got golden magic so she's like Eve or something.
They would watch themselves die unless they do!
She also probably couldn't just TP a random Overlord to her location, Alastor could do it to Husk in the pilot cause he owned him probably.

He was beaten up by Lu multiple times, so why not
Near-100% Vox isn't even portrayed as all that powerful compared to everyone else, didn't Val break his screen lol
That happened before he scratched the shield no?
I assume the less souls she'd have the weaker she'd be, so in the end, it wouldn't be any different than helping by herself? Probably?
She’s not a Sinner tho… pretty sure being stronger via souls is just Sinner thing. Just like you yourself propose below too:
 
Can everyone outside Eden agree that the WoG about the power of song is an insane reach from Vivize even by the standards of the show?
Hazbin has bad writing, but to take this at face value makes it somehow even worse than it is already. The scene makes total sense if you assume it's just a showcase of Overlord + Alastor's strength, the power of song thing just ruins the entire point as far as I'm concerned.
 
"But they're both regular Sinners, and Overlords can gore those."
I mean, clearly Angel is a fair bit stronger than your average Sinner, just via the fact he can push back an Exorcist's attack.
And Cherri regularly partakes in turf wars solo, relying only on herself and her bombs, and by feats alone is blatantly stronger than your average Sinner.
Once again, the exorcists are not stronger that any average demon, we just don't like the way the show handles their "invulnerability", if we just accept that, then things would be easier

I kinda said the same thing here:

Everyone outside of eden pretty much does

Erm are we forgetting authors themselves smh…
 
tanking Lu's full power over and over again, but that last punch just made his power plummet to Overlord levels?
Don’t think he was really tanking, more like enduring or withstanding.

We do know his downscaling is not enough to kill him after all, just like FP Alastor’s downscaling is not enough to actually beat General of Exorcists.
Nothing would really boost his Approval Rating between those two scenes, like Vox Dei already happened in both, right?
Eh, it still only grew to 100% after Charlie admitted he was the strongest Sinner, and approval rating naturally rises overtime the more people hear about the guy and believe in whatever he did. It’s unlikely a hundred of billions watch him at the same time and support, it’s likely that more and more people learned about his glory everyday, and the royal concession of his superiority hammered it.
 
You know there's this one line in the WoG that always caught my eye.
So like I just want to ask everyone here something, why doesn't the barrier just poof into existence instantly, why is there a build-up?
We know it's not cause it's accumulating power otherwise it shrinking when Emily gets tired again makes no sense, so why is that?
And ya know, ain't it really weird how it just sorta stagnates in the Lute part? Why does it specifically get formed really fast in the main chorus parts?

Bro never heard of dramatic timing.
 
Do you like actually believe they lied about the implications in the song or something, cause genuinely what do you think they meant by that?
I think the WoG is dumb, not actually supported by the show beyond superficial stuff, and that Vivize is an untrustworthy writer so unless something is heavily supported/stated in the show itself we should not use WoGs from her.
 
its really funny watching people struggle with AW's and angel durability scaling when the answer is that the exorcists are sinner level, they have limited invulnerability that would let them tank overlords and the like as long as no AW is involved, and because of that, although someone like AL cant actually bring pain to Adam, he can still be in a similar power range due to the fact that, once again, angels. have. invulnerability.

Adam WOULD HAVE gotten wreked by Alastors uppercut if it wasn't for the angelic resistance thing. WE SEE that Al is capable of downscaling Adam. WE SEE that Angel Dust can parry an exorcist and not get overpowered. Because they don't scale to overlords, the AW can just bypass that one resistance they have. Unless holding an angelic gun suddenly empowers sinners to planetary extents.

The only real anti-feats for the invulnerability I keep seeing are either caused to themselves, or straight up can just be PiS.

Ya'll are making so many problems for yourselves by not just giving them a damage resistance or something to that effect. It's one of the few things that gets said all the time, and actually shown too. I can believe that Lute is above an average exorcist, but none of them (obvs excluding Adam) should scale above sinners.

Because they are only all around 1/14th of Lucifer? When it shrinks, that's because 1/14th out of their (at the time) 4/14ths energy stopped putting in her power. It's not build-up, they literally just can't stop putting in energy or else the minimum requirement goes under the full 14/14ths, so thats why.

Now why are you bringing up Angelic Invulnerability, we're not bringing it back twin

Exactly, you THINK it's dumb. You don’t have a single contradiction from the show, no actual example of Vivzie being "untrustworthy" and zero evidence she’s ever retconned herself. In fact, she consistently does the opposite, she goes out of her way to clarify shit when people misunderstand it.

Like come on, you can't tell me this ISN'T bad faith when the Hazbin pages are 40% of her words lol

It's powerscaling, people don't liek threatening agenda. (AL still downscales Adam tho)

I'm talking about it building up at all, it shrinking is counter-evidence to the Agnaa method where it's presumed every second the cast gives it more energy.
 
Oh, no thats stupid. The way the barrier works is clearly like minecraft bed rules. All players must sleep for the night to pass.
I'm talking about it building up at all, it shrinking is counter-evidence to the Agnaa method where it's presumed every second the cast gives it more energy.
Actually, thats REALLY stupid. Because they had 4/14ths the people needed and like 4 minutes before the others joined in, how long would it have taken to make the difference in that case? Surely they made it 5/14ths by then. That just brings in too many new issues. Again.

You guys really like to make things harder, don't you?

First no angelic invul, and now an energy build up? One that gets instantly lost when one person backs out?

1) Invulnerability needs a mechanic beyond "uhhhhhh they're stated to be invulnerable" and literally has anti-feats to it.

So remove all the WOG from the verse if you consider HH's WOG bad, including the WOG about heaven and hell being planets.

Then resistance, and those anti-feats can all just be Plot induced Stupidity, I bet I could actually solve most of them if you just told me, because the only one that really counts are the little scratches on Lutes face when the ruble fell on her. Ripping her arm off was done by her (an angel) so that isn't an anti-feat for anything other than lifting at most, her arm didn't even disconnect at the point the ruble had her, it tore off from her shoulder. And I bet I could easily enough explain the others cuz, I gotta be honest, I didn't really notice any actual anti-feats when constantly reviewing the battle, aside from the only one I mentioned being valid.
