    The night Blitzo robbed Stolas' house was probably the last time he saw his dad considering he stole a fortunes worth of items and is still poor and his family portrait didn't feature Buckzo so my guess Buckzo immediately ran off with the loot probably while Blitzo was still at the play date.

      which is INTERESTING cause they're hellborn. They don't like fade away like in Warrior Cats. Over there, StarClan and Dark Forest cats fade away if they're killed AGAIN, or just after along time if no one remembers you. So what happens here? Do you go to double hell? It looks like blessing tipped items like lances and guns can kill royalty and overlords (Vaggie held one to Al's throat when he first entered the hotel, and Striker somehow got one to try and kill Stolas and actually HAS TWO blessing tipped guns.) I hope we get more into THAT cause when the show focuses up on the character drama, THAT'S the good sht.

    i think blitz did go through a little arc during the adoption flashback, and went from wanting a family friendly pup to choosing to get the exact opposite of that, bcos he deeply related to loona and not cos she'd be the best adoptive daughter material, so his motivations aren't all selfish and that flashback was supposed to show that, where he goes from not wanting to adopt some pups cos they're sad or ugly to picking the most antisocial and agressive one that the lady herself was gonna skip over and not even give her a chance cos she was so unappealing to potential adoptive parents

      To add to you comment. If you go back to the end of S1:ep7 Ozzie's. When Blitz scrolls through the images in his phone they are in reverse chronological order. This shows that he (Blitz) adopted Loona before he brought Moxxie onboard. Meaning he (possibly) was looking to adopt not for personal reasons, but more that he was looking for a company mascot. However changed his plans when he saw Loona and had his emotional response. As he has already shown that he is impulsively drawn towards people who share aspects with himself.
      One of the things usual overlooked (or just unmentioned) is how panicked Blitz appears when Loona burst through the 2 way mirror in S1:ep6 and he realizes she was/is in harms way.

    "Good intentions doesn't equal good results."
    God that needs to be said louder for the people in the back. Road to hell is often paved with good intentions. I see people so often say things like "Oh well this character DIDN'T MEAN for this to happen" and that's all well and good. BUT that doesn't matter because their actions still had adverse consequences.
    Did Anakin MEAN to get Windu killed and shove the galaxy into darkness and despair for god know how many decades? Well no of course not. But his own actions still led to that consequence. Did Wanda MEAN for her mind to be corrupted by the Darkhold? No but she still DECIDED to read it and use it and thus should suffer consequences for that. Her being mind warped doesn't excuse a thing. Anakin being victim to Palpatine's manipulations doesn't excuse his actions as Vader. Blitz is in the same boat. He means well, but that doesn't mean he's doing things the right way.

      The problem with Anakin and Wanda (and Blitzo sort of) is that they did all the bad stuff for themselves. They didn't care who they hurt, as long as their loved ones are safe. And they didn't even do it because they want their loved ones to be happy and safe from pain. They did it so THEY can be happy and safe from pain.

      Agreed! Loona is just so heavily guarded cause of the things she went through so doesn’t want anyone close to her. I love blitzo / loona relationship. Blitzo sees a lot of himself in her; plus he never had anyone to love and care for him properly (considering his dad sold him when he was a boy). Loona is his chance to love someone and to be the dad to her that he always wanted. (Not always in the correct way) but he truly is trying and he loves her. The little smiles Loona gives, she appreciates the things he does for her. Just gonna take her sometime. Blitzo just has to not force it too much and not baby her but he’s a dad that’s trying that’s always enough for anyone💘💘

    He's not very good at communicating with Loona, but then neither is Loona, and they're both technically adults.
    However, he never is ashamed of Loona, is usually supportive of her, and even when he's angry with her, is absolutely her number one supporter even if the two butt heads at times.
    Is he a good dad? That's debatable.
    Is he a bad dad? No.
    Do he and Loona need figure out their relationship more? Absolutely.

    Great video, but I disagree with the point about Blitz adopting Loona solely for selfish reasons. Yes, he wanted to adopt SOMEONE for those selfish reasons, but he didn't adopt LOONA SPECIFICALLY for those selfish reasons. His mindset changed when he saw her struggling, which I think is what the show was going for in that flashback. Initially, he just wanted to fill a hole in his heart, but when he saw himself in her, his wants changed. In that moment, looking at her through the bars, he wanted to help. (His actions afterwards though, the unconditional love and overbearing affection, definitely all for emotional self-fulfillment in addition to providing what he would have wanted as a child.)

    This is exactly what Encanto was trying to illustrate with generational trauma. The struggles and grievances define one generation, and they use those experiences to form the next generation. They know that the people they're influencing has their own lives and interest, but they feel like they must do everything in their power to secure what was broken in their younger years, disregarding everything even if the supposed danger, fear, and abandonment ceases to exist in the generation they're raising. Failing to see their fears, their faults, and their other assets because they're blinded by their own. Blitz loves Luna more than anything, but fails to see ALL her needs. Luna and Blitz are used to abandonment, but their ways of dealing with it are like night and day. This doesn't mean Blitz doesn't love Luna, but they fail to see eye to eye about their struggles and how they'd overcome them

    Honestly I think putting his foot down with Loona and customer service was a good move. Like, yeah, that's your daughter but also this behavior ain't acceptable. Also you're running a business, so that boundary is VERY necessary. It doesn't mean he loves her less, or is replacing her in his life; it's just that in a professional setting, this is probably the right call. But this is another example of Blitz blurring family and professional life and it's just making things more messy than they usually would be.

    I see in Blitz many of the same things I see in Silco from Arcane. They're both loving and attentive, but that's not enough to be a good father. You can't be a good father without those things, but there's so much more to being a father/father-figure that they either haven't learned or refuse to learn. They both allow their own hangups and/or bad habits to influence their parenting as much or more than their love for their kid, leading to passing on trauma and continuing (or turning it into) generational trauma. They're bad fathers that you can still love and forgive (to a degree) because they're still trying in spite of themselves to be good fathers.

    The big recurring idea of this show that was made pretty clear in 'Seeing Stars' that I think a lot of people are having trouble wrapping their head around is that it is possible to genuinely, unconditionally love one's child and want only the best for them, while ALSO being an absolute DISASTER of a parent. That is the summation of both Stolas's and ESPECIALLY Blitzo's relationships to their respective daughters (yes, Stolas WAS a genuinely good parent at one time, but it's clear that years of emotional abuse, among other things, have SERIOUSLY messed him up), and the latest episode pretty much sees Loona and Octavia begin to come to grips with this idea.

    I appreciate you mentioning Blitz’s selfish motivations for adopting Loona. I see so many people in the fandom saying she should be nice and grateful to him for adopting her and idk how I feel about that attitude. Parents choose to have/adopt kids, kids don’t ask to be born/adopted so I don’t think they by default owe you unconditional love.

      She's not abusive towards Blitzo. That scene was very much played for jokes and is never a recurring issue or theme. But I agree she does not owe him anything. HOWEVER I feel it's incorrect to label Blitzo as adopting her for his own selfish reasons. I feel like that flashback was meant to show the exact opposite. He goes into it wanting a family friendly hellhound that will be nice to clients and make *him* feel better. Then he sees Loona. Someone who's hurting, who needs someone, and who will be cast out and abandoned if nobody helps. It's not just seeing himself in her, that's part of it yes, but this is also him realizing he can make a positive difference in someone's life. He can help this person and give them the support they need, because he understands what it's like to be abandoned and deemed as unlovable.
      It's like Loona helping Octavia. She sees herself in Via, yes, but that doesn't make her reason for consoling Via selfish. She simply sees a person she can relate to and understands how to help.
      I don't think Blitzo is a bad dad. If anything, I think him being so affectionate actually *works* for Loona, even if she never says it. She instinctively begins to call him dad, afterall. That's HUGE for adoptive/foster children (speaking from experience), sometimes it never happens. Could he do better? Yes. Is he trying to be better? It seems like it so far. But what they have now, as we're shown, works for them. Because of his unyielding affection and pride in her, Loona knows and is confident that no matter how she pushes him away or gets upset at him, he will never abandon her and never be truly disappointed in her.

    One thing I'd point out is that Loona is actually one of the most well-adjusted members of the cast (only behind maybe the m&ms and possibly Octavia). She does have a mean streak a mile wide best exemplified by her constant demeaning of Moxie. However, if you look at what she actually does throughout the series she's relatively level headed. She manages to find Octavia, takes Blitz's order to close the portal DEADLY seriously when Blitz and Moxie are captured, protects the grimoire during a fire and in the middle of a massive battle, has learned to wield it better than Stolas's own daughter can, can relate to Octavia in a mature fashion upon meeting with her despite her own youth and lack of life experience, and while she does 'take a break' on the job in chapter 3 it is short and only happens because she REALLY wants to to get closer to Tex (who is also on the job).
    For someone who seems to have basically been raised in a prison her entire childhood, she's rather level-headed and responsible. This is of course if we ignore the slapstick violence towards Blitz.

      Yeah, recognizing you had a fucked up childhood and wanting to do better by your kids is one thing, but just like SC said, Blitzø's trying to be the dad he wanted rather than the dad Luna needs bc even if they've both been neglected, they want different kinds of support and ultimately trying to rectify your own trauma or failings through your kids ends up backfiring more often than not. An example would be Toph in Legend of Korra where it's shown she's taken a very overly permissive method to parenting her daughters because of how overbearing her own parents were and with how strained her relationship with the both of them are, it seemed to be emotionally neglectful rather than freeing to them.

    I think that if Blitzo adopted loona when she was younger, his parenting would look better. However, bc lonna was a month away from being a legit adult, the trauma she went through was enough to make her realize that no one would truly love her. Blitzo does his best to be able to put up with his adult daughter now, but bc he doesn’t know how to exchange love/emotions well like loona, they but heads all the time. At least Blitzo isn’t as bad as his father, but theres still so much more to the story we haven’t received yet.

  • @kittyphinex7115
    @kittyphinex7115 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    He's not a bad dad: he's a bad person. His issues don't allow him to be vulnerable, to be emotionally available or to even be an honest caring person. Not saying he's a bad person BECAUSE of the issues but that the issues MADE him a bad person. He does everything he can to make sure people don't attach to him. Loona ALSO has those issues and doesn't ever come out of those shells. So the two of them don't have anyone to break those walls down which leaves them the way they are. Blitz's big issue is he wants to give Loona so much love which is nice but she's not a child anymore. He got her when she was essentially an adult. She has developed as a defensive person it's who she is now and she can't help it. But Blitz is trying to raise her like she's 4 which she doesn't need. Unconditional love doesn't mean you don't tell your kid off. Unconditional love doesn't mean you don't call them out. Unconditional love means always showing your love no matter the issue. You argue because you care, you tell them they're not the issue but this IS an issue, because you care. That's healthy unconditional but because Blitz has never had that, he's giving her overbearing love to the point where they probably don't even really have a good enough connection

So after he adopts he obviously,gives her a job,loves her unconditionally,even if she beats him to a pulp(might be his thing you know)gives her a roof over her head,is proud of her beyond words,has a panic attack when he feels someone is going to take loona away from him,and above all I think blitz is a good dad and sees loona as Family not just a pet.

  • @ninjafalls1739

    He’s not a bad dad and loona’s not a bad daughter.
    Loona struggles with normalcy, even though she’s lived with Blitzø for five years, all her childhood she was still mistreated and most likely abused since she was a puppy. Even if people HAD come to adopt her before they clearly left her after the smallest mistakes. She still has a feeling that Blitzø would replace her, not as in her job, but as his daughter
    Blitzø of course would never do that and just means to fire her from her job, but he’d still love his daughter. However it doesn’t hit him what his words had done until he had that panic attack and flashback.
    Loona isn’t a “problem”. She’s a traumatized adult who wasn’t given a childhood, so now she has a chance to catch up on those normal teenage years, she appreciates and loves him but she’ll have good days and bad days. In the pound she was mostly left alone to lash out at anyone who got close by, she doesn’t see what’s wrong with that.
    Blitzø is just being supportive and understanding due to his own experiences and what he witnessed when he was there. He’s a protective dad as well, that’s normal.
    Blitzø just needs to learn to accept his baby isn’t a child and needs some room to grow, but he can still be a parent, the job doesn’t end after that child is 18.
    And loona needs to understand it’s OKAY to feel childish and vulnerable and emotional at times, it’s okay to seek comfort and support and love from her dad, it’s okay to let go and forget the adult responsibilities for one day.
    They both have some work to do and they have plenty of time to work it out. But all in all? Loona is doing great with progress, she’ll just have setbacks. And Blitzø is a great dad, he just has a lot to learn.

    pple think that if u take an abused person and give them unconditional love, theyll suddenly recover 100% but the reality is they most likely will not trust u and react negatively. they might be violent, aggressive, confrontational, isolate, run away, etc. pple dont understand (including the abused themself) that, growing up where ur only loved if ur useful, or ur taught ur meaningless, etc, and being placed into a supportive, loving environment that wants to see u thrive, is a shock. there needs to be an adjustment period, as sad as it sounds.
    its best they go to therapy, obviously. but sometimes abused pple need to feel like theyve "earned" their place. one step at time.
    its weird. but...love is a foreign language to the abused. u learn languages one step at a time and some pple wont ever be fully fluent. its complicated and the best we all can do is be patient with each other/ ourselves, be honest, have reasonable expectations, listen, and adjust /:

    In a way, I think it's actually a good thing that Blitzø ended up adopting an older kid.
    I mean the whole reason he adopted a kid was to have someone to love, and to not be alone. If he had adopted a kid, his clingy tendancies would've in a sense been encouraged since you know, kids are pretty dependant on their parents. Plus depending on the age, he would've had to learn a lot of shit about raising a kid that frankly, I just don't think Blitzø could do. Not to mention that he'd need to be a lot more responsible than he actually is, and he'd probably just end up raising a kid that'd be just as traumatized as him but in the opposite direction.
    Meanwhile with Loona, he can't be that level of clingy because she's already an adult, and while he has to be responsible, he doesn't have to be as responsible as if Loona was younger. And her being older also means that Blitzø is being encouraged to in a way, not be dependent on her.

Should’ve chosen a different hound to adopt if he wanted a proper, positive, healthy parenting experience. I get the mini-me “I see myself in you” thing, but their personalities just do not match.

    I'd know Blitz is trying to be Good Dad to Loona Despite Blitz had daddy issues from his own Dad

    This is why Helluva is one of my new favorite shows. What other recent show can you think of where you can put this much thought into the characters with it being intentional and not just happenstance

    I think it was cute when he got reminded about Loona during that stage thing but the part where he got very over protective made me upset for both of them because he has alot of power over her like that and he should let her free a little bit but I would say he can be a good dad by easing his overprotection.
