Broken Base is a sharp divide in the fandom. That sounds more like a Vocal Minority, and would need to be rewritten to reflect that.


* BrokenBase: While a majority of viewers have given great praise to the episode, there is a small crowd who is rather critical of it, noting the occasional janky animation, Striker coming across as a one-note psycho and bully compared to the more layered villains like Fizzaroli and Verosika, and perhaps the biggest complaint: despite taking place on her home ranch and introducing her family, the episode ''still'' opting to sideline Millie in favor of the typical male leads.

Added DiffLines:

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Seeing Millie's very sweet relationship with her parents becomes all the sweeter when we learn in season two that pretty much all the other main characters grew up with [[AbusiveParents abusive]], [[ParentalAbandonment missing]] or [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest dead]] parents, meaning at least someone had a happy childhood.

Don't see any actual example of Angst Aversion in the description.


* AngstAversion: Admittedly, most of Moxxie’s scenes in the episode can be hard to sit through for some due to the uncomfortably realistic and harsh abuse he suffers from Millie’s family and Striker. While Moxxie had plenty of butt-monkey moments in the past, they were arguably more enjoyable because there was enough well-timed comedy and heartwarming moments that keep them from being needlessly brutal.

Considering how specific this idea is, it fits more into YMMV (also, Fizz and Verosika aren't assassins).


* FanficFuel: How would Stella react if she found out that the same Imp who slept with her husband is also the one who foiled her plan to kill said husband? Would she resort to recruiting his past enemies (Robofizz, Verosika, the fallen C.H.E.R.U.B, etc.) to keep Blitz busy?

Sallie Mae became an Ensemble Darkhorse as a consequence to this episode, she did not start as hone (that would logically be impossible).


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Despite being an EnsembleDarkhorse, Sallie Mae barely said or did anything. She didn't even partake in the games.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: While the episode was well-received, some fans were disappointed that it didn't center on Millie since it took place on her home ranch and even introduced her family, but instead centered around Moxxie and continued Millie's tendency to be a SatelliteCharacter. To further demonstrate this issue, supporting and ''intentionally'' minor characters have much more of a memorable presence, like Stolas, Octavia, and even Wally Wackford.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Despite being an EnsembleDarkhorse, Sallie Mae barely said or did anything. She InformedWrongness: Moxxie is given some flak for forgetting that he had a gun on him during the first confrontation with Striker. The problem is that Striker attacked Moxxie by surprise and didn't leave him enough time to draw his gun even partake in if he had remembered he had it. While Moxxie did have a small window of opportunity, he understandably uses it to try to flee. This is made even more jarring by the games.
fact that Millie calls out Moxxie for forgetting to use his gun, even though she just stumbled upon Striker trying to strangle Moxxie from behind. She shouldn't even know whether or not Moxxie could have drawn his gun since she shouldn't have any idea on how the confrontation went before she intervened.

Her defense was that she ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint only caused nine]]''? Hilarious. Sallie May dragging a corpse inthe background, saying it doesn't count if they don't find the bodies?

TRS mandated cleaning. Humiliation Conga is for characters who deserve it/karmic punishment. See the Thread.


** Moxxie getting savaged on by a shark every time he falls into a puddle during the Pain Games? Funny. Moxxie being dog-piled by several manlier men at the end of his HumiliationConga? Depressing. ''The shark'' popping up out of nowhere to give an elbow drop while Moxxie is down? ''Side-splitting!''

Added DiffLines:

* DracoInLeatherPants: Sallie Mae's first scene strongly implies that she's a SerialKiller and she spends the rest of it belittling Moxxie, but a combination of [[LGBTFanbase decent LGBT representation]] and [[EvilIsSexy her attractiveness]] turned her into an EnsembleDarkhorse practically overnight.

* HoYay: Blitzo's interactions with Striker have copious amounts of tension between the two, which some fans have immediately taken note of. Blitzo responding to Striker's offer to join forces to kill Hell's royal classes -- starting with the one who, as Striker puts it, treats him like a plaything -- with "Ooh, that's kinda hot," in a slightly infatuated tone adds to this even more.
