Something I've noticed throughout this season of Hazbin is how Alastor is personally working against the Hotel's goals.
We see in "Radio Killed the Video Star" that Al is petty and holds himself higher than all of hell. Alastor can't stand being viewed as the inferior entertainment, so he completely shuts Vox down. Although they are preestablished rivals, Al is outright against any sort of change. He mentions that Vox wanted Al to join his team, but Al can't imagine viewing someone as his superior or equal.
When Lucifer visits the Hotel to help Charlie, Alastor assumes that she wants her father to replace him. Instantly he goes into defense. Al fights like he isn't afraid of death while arguing with the king of hell himself. Naturally, the element of Pride cannot back down from a fight as they constantly one-up each other.
Notice how this arc is opposite to Angel's or Sir Pencious's?
Our other two sinners are learning how to trust one another and accept themselves. Angel learns how to open up about his trauma with Husk and begins to understand why the Hotel is so important.
As opposed to Alastor who refuses to accept change, look into himself, or go out of his way to help somebody else.
When Mimsy appears, he is happy to see her and quickly ends her battle. However, when he realizes that she is of no use to him, he instantly sends her away.
Or when Charlie is having a meltdown, and he explains how a smile is the best way to stay in control? He is completely unable to view this situation from her perspective.
With all this, I think that Alastor is going to have the most interesting character arc in the show, as he learns to accept love.
as always these are just some thoughts, and i am more than happy to hear everyone’s takes 💕💕
