I am very excited to see how she answers this question and I think she did incredibly well at breaking down this philosophy for the viewers. I'm not really in the fandom as it were so I'm not sure how this post will go over but those are my thoughts! Maybe I'll write more later.

Pentious ends up in heaven due to sacrificing himself for his friends. It proves the idea of the Hazbin works. He fixed his sin. Now we must see whether the people who are in heaven deserve their place. Heaven so far does not seem to universally agree with the idea of Pen being there.

She leaves it for the viewer to debate. This will become a question debated in the fandom for the rest of time and it should be! It gets Hazbins younger fans interested in philosophy.

The second question I suspect will be shown over the course of the season.

@vivziepop.bsky.social asks of the viewer does Sir Pentious actually deserve hell for what he did? In this case what he did was not report a murder even after he knew who did it because he was afraid and apathetic. I also very much appreciate that she doesn't answer this in the episode or here.

2. Do the people in paradise really deserve the position they have? (This can be broken down to are the religious actually as righteous as they claim to be?)

This week's episode showed the first question with Sir Pentious. We saw his backstory.

The basic questions of Hazbin are 2fold and asked by philosophers for centuries

1. Can sinners be redeemed after eternal punishment? Is it eternal or can they change? (This can be broken down further to a real world example of do sinners really deserve the hatred they get from the religious.

Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss gets a lot flack for basically being a "Edgy Tumblr SJW Teenage Girls Dream Show" and there might be some merit to that but it doesn't get credit for it's philosophy or theology. This is one of those things where if I had a YouTube channel I'd go more in depth than here.
