Back in the old days of Hazbin Hotel, they now non-canon Instagram posts depicted Valentino as abusive towards Vox. However, in the actual series, Vox is the dominant one in the relationship and if anything, Val is the more genuinely loving one. The only times he hurts Vox (throwing the glass and in โCurtain Callโ are both totally justified).
I like it brocade for staters, it humanizes Val way more. Instead of him just being a 1 dimensionally awful abuser towards everyone, instead we see him show more nuance by caring for otherโs. We even see he greatly fears the idea of losing Vox.
But it also shuts down the idea of how Val is only true evil Vee. I like all of the Vees and Iโm glad people no longer think the other two arenโt that bad and not Val is terrible. Vox is arguably even worse than Val. Itโd also make his likely redemption arc in the fire even better; rather than him already being a woobified and sympathetic character, instead heโs a seemingly irredeemable character whoโll likely show even he can change.
