Ok so I just finished season 1 of Hello from the Hallowoods, so here are some of my thoughts.
- Polly is probably my favorite character, and his group was definitely my favorite to listen to. (Probably because their story was pretty self contained and only met with the other characters at the end , and they didn’t really even talk to anyone else.)
- If I think too much about Percy I get really sad .
- Olivier makes so many bad decisions, but I love him/her/them.
- I well and truly understand Nikignik’s annoyance of Lady Ethel, because every time she interrupts, I want to punch her and go back to my little stories.
- I honestly don’t really like Riot, but I am kinda interested where her character goes, I was kinda hoping she would decide to wander the Hallowoods and do odd jobs here and there, like Walt seemed to.
- From what I have seen, Riot and Olivier get together? Which seems weird to me, and maybe kinda toxic? Like, Olivier tried to hand Riot over to the Instrumentalist, (granted, they/she/he were/was just doing a job), and then Riot threatens to kill her/them/him. (Speaking of which, was Bern really going to let Riot decide what to do with Olivier? Cause even on a good day Riot doesn’t really seem like the most levelheaded, much less while she’s still grieving Walt.)
- There were definitely some plot lines I didn’t really follow or care about too much. I was a bit confused with Barb and the other characters that show up in his first episode.
- I kinda feel like Walt’s death was a bit unnecessary at that moment, or at least could have been done a bit differently. I just don’t understand how Solomon was faster in that moment, if Walt had hesitated maybe, but it just kinda felt like Solomon was too op, if it had been that he used a ghost or something I’d get it, but it was a contest of their physical capabilities, and i can’t believe that Solomon is more fit than Walt.
- Also I’m a little sad one of the two canon Ace characters dies. (Is Polly Ace? He gives me Ace vibes.)
- I really like Diggory and Percy’s relationship, but I do hope they make other friends as well. Just cause I don’t like it when couple characters almost exclusively interact with each other. Riot and Diggory do have a nice friendship though.
- I find Nikignik very interesting, He’s not doing this out of love for the characters, but out of love for the very thing that corrupted their world. (As far as I can tell anyway)
- I really like the music for the show, especially the end music. I also like the music that plays at Barb’s hotel. And there were some that sounded really familiar, but I’m not sure what from.
