Hazbin Hotel Theory
Okay, there are a few things that have been bothering me about the show, story-wise. I know we're going to get answers to these questions in season 3, and season 4 is like in post-production or being made at the same time we got confirmed season 5.
One thing that's been nipping at my brain a lot is the fact that we know the exterminations have been going on for 7 years. The thing that's really scratching my brain is why was Adam in charge of the Exorcist Army to begin with? It's pretty obvious that the extermination idea and making it an all-female angel army with him as the head was definitely Adam's idea, 100%. But tell me why Sera, the head seraphim, would be okay with Adam being the general of Heaven's Army when Michael exists.
You're probably wondering why I'm complaining about this, because arguably Michael is the most qualified person to lead this Exorcist Army, not Adam. A counterpoint might be that Adam would just stab Sera in the back and tell Heaven's leaders that this was all Sera's idea and have Heaven question her leadership skills, simply because Adam wasn't going to be the head of the army if Sera picked Michael over him. I can see this happening, but Sera would probably just play into Adam's ego and say something like, 'No, Adam, you're still going to be in charge of it. You helped convince me and gave me proof that this is a necessary action, but you'll be answering to Michael as well. However, Michael is going to be your superior because compared to your experience, Michael's experience is far superior than yours, and his insight will be very important into how to lead and boost morale of this Army. This would be heavily valued and may aid you when it comes to leading a military campaign, although I hope you will not need it.' Something like that would stroke Adam's ego but also calm him down.
Because whether we like it or not, from Heaven's view at this point, the Exorcist Army vanishing for one day every year was a military campaign (even though it's actually a goddamn genocide). So yeah, the biggest thing scratching my brain is why wasn't Michael in charge of it? Did Lucifer ban Michael from ever showing up in Hell in general? I know Lucifer is the king of Hell, and there's probably agreements between Heaven and Hell regarding their existence, but I think Lucifer tried to do something like a ban on certain high-ranking angels coming to Hell. Maybe Heaven was going to at least make a compromise with the king of Hell, but Big G (God, Heavenly Father) got involved and said no. Heaven is going to side with Big G.
But it still wraps my brain: why have Adam when somebody way more competent than Adam exists, Michael for instance? Sera probably thought Michael wouldn't agree to the extermination, an extermination that she felt Heaven had to do, or maybe she did ask Michael and he said no and wasn't going to get involved with Adam's pet project."
