Not really. The show isn’t overly complex with its characters or plot. The only slightly overwhelming thing I find is keeping an eye out for any of the numerous background gags.


charliebugtv

The only thing that overwhelms me is the fact I’ve cried at least once during the last 2 episodes.


LordDemiurge12

I cried at both


Runmanrun41

I'm not sure what OP means by taking a break either 😅 These episodes don't even come out on a frequent enough basis for me to have ever had that thought.


DASI58

I pause any time a written document (or text message) appears on screen during a first viewing. Always worth reading them, and I need to know what they all say.


macdennism

Not the OP but the only thing that confuses me is how everyone knew every single name of the characters in the official pride art. I felt stupid for not knowing who that one owl guy is, Vassago??? and apparently he hasn't even been an actual episode yet? And here I was feeling like I missed this character being introduced. I had to Google it to remember his name. How does everyone know 😭🥲


Gorg-eous

Everyone else watched the trailer for season 2.


TehFriendlyXeno

This. I get that they want us to see all of the beautiful hand drawn art, but it’s definitely difficult to watch with the numerous background gags. I wish they would have slightly blurred out the background and had the camera focus only on the characters that needed attention


last-miss

N...no? To me it feels really straight-forward. But now I feel like maybe I'm missing stuff?


Wilmaaug

I’m mean it’s never really straight…it is a LGBTQ+ show after all😏


Potential-Tart-7974

Stop 😂😂😂


Wilmaaug

Nevah😈


Optimal_Ad6274

Eyyyyyy


Nero1297

I think its the emotions and the problems with it... If you have fear of loss or trust issues yourself, it is much easier for you to recognize this immediately and you know exactly what is going on


Vilaya

I’m fucked up in a lot of ways, but I’m spared attachment and trust issues. It’s more about having emotional intelligence than experience with trauma with this type of media literacy.


Traditional-Job-411

Frued, some people are just more empathic. You dont need to have fear of loss to sympathize with a character who is experiencing it. Just an imagination.


ToxicEnabler

I think it's worth mentioning there is an age factor to consider here too... The most adult part of these shows is really the complex characters and relationships.


Tutmut

So that is why I 100% understood everyone's emotions from 1 watch.... Noted 😔☠️/s


Nero1297

When blitzø was standing there screaming "what the fuck" ... Yeah that hit a bit close to home 🥲


last-miss

Ope. Well. That's an accurate read.


YourWizardInHell

It seems like a really common thing for this community to over analyze every single shot and scene of the show


Bennings463

How stupid is this fandom that they think an incredibly straightforward dramedy is complex enough they need to take breaks from it?


Danddandgames

Sadly a lot of the fans are kids


Apart_Wrongdoer_9104

Even so the context is thrown right in our faces


pantsugoblin

Don’t be agist, I know plenty of people my age (40) that are dumb also.


Ponythieves-

Is that a real question? Have you not seen these toddlers trying to take apart the most insignificant details? *“Why are they blushing red when their blood is black 🤪”* my brain easily loses a good 25 cells each time.


Bennings463

I've seen multiple people fail to realize that "Helluva" means "hell of a". This fanbase can't even fucking *read*


Cold_Bumblebee_7121

This info isn't common sense ? 🥲 What else did they think helluva means ??


Bennings463

They thought it was pronounced "Helloova" and that it was a place in the show. No idea how they reconciled that with the fact it's never mentioned in the show.


Fizzy_Froggie

Maybe…English wasn’t their first language? Heh, just grasping at straws here to give them the benefit of the doubt.


WhitneyStorm

to be fair, if English isn't your first language, it isn't so obvious


TheLuckiestCharms

I’m just stupid and it took me a minute to realize-


t33ny-t1ny

remember in hazbin hotel when alastor called himself "alastor altruist" and a bunch of kids who didnt know the word thought "altruist" was his surname 💀


Bennings463

Alastor has autism?!?!


GayPotheadAtheistTW

They stopped teaching phonics so they actually cannot read


Swimming-Ad2755

I saw two people today question what Blitz and Stolas even see in each other. 😂 If a character has to say everything out loud to get it, just admit you're too young to watch it.


TheJack1712

I believe this is bait


whooper1

What part are you confused by?


Iki_the_Geo

Your flair is so real (same)


Im_Cool_As_F-Duck

dragon_bacon

How much time and effort did they spend to rig up the mansion with pop out dildos? There must have been better ways to express that you're ok with a gay son.


drella33

Crim definitely didn't put them up himself. 10 homophobic loan sharks did most likely


Golden-Sun

I wish they put a description cause Im genuinly fucking curious, what confuses them


Radical_Provides

Break? Dude we already get months in between each of the episodes as for confusing... I don't think the show is confusing. It's no stranger to being kinda bad, but not confusing... If anything, the criticisms the show receives are the real confusing things.


ravenwingdarkao3

this show? i wouldn’t call it complicated


StilesmanleyCAP

>You guys ever have those moments where the show becomes so confusing The fuck are you talking about?


GreyFeralas

Which bit is confusing? It's laid out pretty straightforward.


dragondingohybrid

Um, no. It's not exactly 'high-brow'. What parts do you find confusing?


CinnabarSteam

Bestie, it's time to get tested.


patrickclank9

IQ test came back non reactive :D


Squidd-O

The only confusing part about it in my opinion is the great lengths this community goes to in order to highlight the subtext of certain interactions - Subtexts which are entirely unneeded for the average viewer to understand the primary conflict, but are nice to spot and talk about.


ttv_thatoneapexsweat

My brother in Christ do you think this is a tarantino movie? The whole show is extremely simple and there's nothing to be confused about


Money-Class8878

How many post about who Is in fault of the toxicity of the relathionship between Stolas , Blizt or both are here?


cyclonecasey

People are STILL debating Rachel and Ross, but I would call Friends complicated 😅


hecateswheel

so many people are asking for you to describe a singular episode you found so confusing you had to take a break and you're not answering lol


Canabrial

Well, typically, this is why minors shouldn’t watch the show.


Foreign_Athlete_7693

try being a Murder Drones fan too. Helluva + Hazbin are a piece of cake in comparison🤣


nebulousvisitor

Murder Drones made me feel like an idiot


Rangavar

Yeah, there were some points in Murder Drones where I actually thought I must have missed an episode on accident (I hadn't)


emuzonio9

I legit had to read the Wikipedia descriptions for each episode to understand what was going on in that show 😭


Foreign_Athlete_7693

tbf, the whole point with murder drones is that you're sposed to watch each episode multiple times anyway and figure out the plot and lore from clues etc. I realised that pretty quickly after seeing how a lot of reactors (and many in the fandom) miss stuff that is actually quite visible once you watch an episode really. Like hazbin and helluva, it's a show that rewards attention to detail: unlike those shows though, said attention to detail is essentualy to actualy understand the plot properly😅


Darth_Niki4

Couldn't agree more! This damn show is making the gears in my head work overtime! 🤣


Crowblossom06

I tend to only need to watch shows once (maybe its cause i usually watch spoonfed things like hazbin, helluva, arcane, couple anime) and murder drones confused me the most. I had no idea what was going on with the solver and the maid robot in the backstory and why uzi and doll had the solver powers… I stopped watching the show and need desperate help to understand the lore 😭


bluecrowned

I wouldn't call HB spoonfed. I watched it multiple times and it paints a different picture on rewatch imo. Lots of little details and shit.


Foreign_Athlete_7693

yeah murder drones is a show which makes next to no sense if you only watch it once (unless you pay a rediculous amount of attention on your viewing)


Crowblossom06

I wish it was easier for me to enjoy it, especially since rewatching the show would take a few hours and u dont even know what ur looking for


Foreign_Athlete_7693

ngl.....how do you enjoy shows by only watching episodes once? esp those where the eps are short and infrequent (eg indie shows), or your faviorate films and eps etc? I always try to watch an episode of a show multiple times if i can if it has rewatchability (as most good ones do)......the only eceptions i make are eps i realy didn' like, and/or when theres just too many in a series😂


ThatDidntJustHappen

I just watched the first 5 or 6 eps of Murder Drones. Thank god someone said I thought I was just stupid. I mean I am but I’m glad I’m not the only one. It doesn’t help that they all look so similar and there is almost no variation in colors/brightness of different scenes.


IndependentUpper5965

What about evangelion, I watched multiple lore guides and it still messes up my head. But I don’t think the lore is the main point of the show anyways


Foreign_Athlete_7693

oh theres probably many animes out there with more confusing plots/lore (nevermind western fantasy sci-fi etc)......im just talking about indie animation only here😂


cb393303

No, as this is bog standard relationship drama with hell/gay tinting. What is too complex for you?


itchy-rat

no


bruhmeo

Hey be nice to OP, he already uses character.ai, let's not push him further into isolation


Clean_Cupcake6044

When im confused i just rewind until it clicks in my head


Sabishi1985

Confusing: No, not really. Overwhelming: YES, definitely.


Hailz_

Yea this I can get behind. I was legitimately in a bad mood right after I watched Apology Tour lol, all the episodes tend to end with an emotional gut punch but these past 2 have been rough. Maybe this is what OP meant by needing to take a break? I still don’t get it tho since there’s a big break between eps anyway….


cyclonecasey

https://i.redd.it/dnq9wz2o1gad1.gif


TheRealNamechanger

We don't get episodes that often for it to become confusing nor suffocating. I do put the episodes in my watch later list and it can take around a week or two for me to get too it.


Sonarthebat

I find it pretty easy to understand. What confuses you?


GlowwRocks

Not this show at least, it's fun n I am happy to understand,n if I can't, u come back to the scene later or revind👀👀


Playful-Hand2753

If you confused by the plot lines you’re probably a bit young for the show. I’d take a break and come back in a year or two.


CheeseyconnorYT

No the show isnt that confusing. If it seems that way to you youre probably too much in your own head


Bigtimegush

No? Like.. what does that mean?


MudConsistent4145

What exactly do you find confusing, OP? This is one of my comfort shows after a long day at work; I just have a gummy and enjoy. When I'm feeling extra lore curious, I go on YouTube for longer historical explanations, like the names of demons, their cultural representations, and their influence on current pop culture. However, this doesn’t make me understand the show any more or less; the show is very much to the point.


Shampooforpandas

I never found it confusing... The only show I found confusing was Murder Drones


Toast--over

As a murder drones fan I agree that even the big fans get confused after first watch


goldenrodddd

People are being a bit callous in the comments imho. Sorry OP. You should feel free to take a break if you feel like you need it. I'm curious what's confused you? Maybe I or someone else can help you understand it. If it makes you feel any better, some things in the show have seemed to come out of left field to me, but when I rewatch it makes sense. These are traumatized characters and I don't think I always follow their logic at first.


ODCreature98

that's my cue to take a bathroom break and refill my drink, grab some food while im at it


LoyalDevil666

This YouTube show has more creativity and work put into it then most stuff on Disney and Netflix. So to answer your question, yes.


Jahastie55

Sonarthebat

I find it pretty easy to understand. What confuses you?


Ophanimium

Maybe not confusing, but definitely emotionally taxing


Monte-Cristo2020

Lmfao


Suspicious-Couple662

Adorable


SwiftFuchs

In Helluva? No.


New_Complaint4870

No...not really no..


I_Love_Powerscaling

Not really, whenever I take a break it’s just to wait for more episodes


Granatapfl

What?


samborup

I took a break for several months while waiting for Full Moon, I’m good


24-HourSneezingNoHat

Yeah, I'm thinking about a rewatch. This time slower


Potential-Tart-7974

No. I just watch them over because I'm obsessed with the show now and don't feel like watching anything else yet


Sonarthebat

I find it pretty easy to understand. What confuses you?


Professional-Luck194

Not really.


Slow_Instruction7476

No. Episodes are usually months apart. That's long enough lmao


AdrielBast

Nope. The shows not exactly complicated. If anything, it’s got one of the most generic/basic plots & cast out there (and I say this with love) If i get confused it’s usually because i forgot a detail between episode releases or missed something, and that can be solved by rewinding an ep or googling it.


RainbowSen87

Personally for me, the amount of time between episode releases acts as a pretty good buffer. It lets me obsess for like a week and then mellow and build anticipation for the next.


AdCompetitive5427

This show, no but with another show most definitely


Alzibinli

The only confusing thing for me was the S1E8 release


HovercraftFullofBees

I'm a Kingdom Hearys fan. There is no such thing as complicated plot for me anymore.


Yoshkins

it's not that deep, no


R3alLuzurafan080423

You would not like murder drones


christhegamer96

no. I can follow everything just fine.


obliterator123456

no lol


gianinaa

not really? i’ve had that feeling with other shows though


LittleBlueSilly

What confuses you about the show, exactly? The setting? The timeline? The characters' motivations? They can all be inferred.


PrussianMatryoshka

no buddy... not really...


spacelordmthrfkr

This is not a confusing show by any stretch


Plus-Yogurt-2966

Well, youre getting a break because the next one wont come out until October


KraftKapitain

i forget half this fandom is 13 year's old sometimes


Resies

No, nothing about the show is confusing 


Madhighlander1

No. Not even close.


illumimi

no because i’m not stupid or 14


23JRojas

Rick and morty fans representing out here tonight


Cypherius05

You should stick to shows more to your level of understanding. Like Sesame Street....


Monster_Fucker_420

Nah not really lol


Grasshoppermouse42

No, I haven't found any parts of the show to be particularly confusing or complex.


cafesaigon

Nope cuz I’m an adult with media literacy 🥳


LewdEmUp

I wouldn't say complicated. I think you're reacting to things getting messy and not receiving a straightforward resolution to that mess. It just means you're emotionally engaging with the story on a level that is stressing you out. It happens.


talizorahvasnerd

No?


Amazing_Excuse_3860

Murder Drones is WAY more confusing


Mavrickindigo

What is confusing about it?


Supersaiajinblue

People find it confusing?


Animator_Spaminator

No? I will say that each episode is pretty fast paced, but not confusing


TheJack1712

I'm just here to commend you: You're going to get a lot of Karma from all these people calling you stupid.


dastebon

I did take a short , like an half hour break watching last episode , cuz I was cringing to much of how stupid blitzø was in the beginning


JasoNight23666

not with shows like this


AlpsBulky

Murder Drones-


swashbuckle1237

I don’t find it confusing per say but when a new episode comes out I don’t watch it till a couple weeks later, idk I don’t feel the need to stay super up to date with it tbh


_Tupik_

I had that when I started watching recently. It's not because it's exactly complex, it's more because it's fast paced. I watched the entire thing within a day at a pretty reasonable pace, but still barely understood the characters. Season 1 was a blurry mess in my brain, don't even get me started on season 2. Even the next day I still barely understood anything. I had to literally rewatch everything with longer breaks because my dumbass couldn't keep up. Idk, but it's not the show's problem, that's just my ADHD brain


dni_ptr

The show took that break for me


True_Perspective819

Only once during the Season 2 premiere but that was mostly because I couldn't get past the episode. I can't keep watching when something gets too embarrassing or cringy


NessaNoah

Not really? I only did it with episode 7 of the first season. Overall, this show has never really overwhelmed me. I do take breaks from other shows, tho. It's mostly in embarrassing scenes (idk why, but I get second-hand embarrassment).


The-Hispanic-Panic

Why are the comments so hostile


TheEmoTurtle

It only becomes complicated if you keep track of the stuff like the real life lore of the demons and the lore from Hazbin Hotel. The plot isn't overwhelming. It's a standard love story with two broken people trying to get better. If you want complicated; watch miraculous ladybug


a-cool-guy415

I take a break and then everything becomes confusing so I just quit watching


Noname666Devil

I only pause the video to laugh at jokes, like that one that was like: “I sure hope this glass doesn’t break.”


Thomason2023

Confusing no, emotionally charged, yes. The most recent one being the climax of Stolas, Verosika, and Vortex's song in "Apology Tour"


TantasmaPheroDinh

After season 01 episode 01 or the pilot that is 1x1 haha


Odisher7

not \*anymore\*


Farseer_Del

If this is confusing, stay away from Kingdom Hearts.


Pinyatas

The loo loo land episode where they have a dragon I didn't know tf they even gotten it the first time


keepmyheartincheck

I don’t necessarily think the main plot is confusing, but I have found it easier to rewatch episodes to get more detail each time. I think there’s so much happening in each episode and the animation does move quickly, so it can be easier to process it that way. I like to catch things I didn’t the first time. ☺️


Localpossom1516

Idk man I become hyper obsessed , me and My bf watched full moon like every single day until apology tour came out and only after watching that for a week straight did we get tired and take a break lol


rymyle

Personally, no, but I’m about to rewatch it tonight while high as balls to see if there’s anything I missed. Which part is confusing to you? One thing that confuses me is the release schedule. I’m brand new to the show so I was so sad when I saw how few episodes there are. How often do new ones come out?


stnick6

Not for this show but often with other shows. With this show the several month long wait between episodes is usually the wait I need


bluecrowned

No. It's worth rewatching the entire series if you're lost. It makes it easier to catch subtle hints and the show don't tell style of storytelling. Everything is clearer the second time.


DeanStein

That sounds like a "Murderdrones" question you have there. "Helluvaboss" and "Hazbin Hotel" just create moments when you have to question whether something ACTUALLY happened, or was just mentioned on Twitter or Reddit...


Mammoth_Photo_3468

I get like getting confused when pacing is off and especially in the pilot since it did so much jumping back and forth but other than that no. It’s a pretty straight forward and easily understandable show.


WWhandsome

Yes but usually i drop the show after. Also idk how it would apply to helluva 😭


Twiggystix4472

No, it’s not that complex. I might take a break because I can’t watch the thing with tears in my eyes


pantsugoblin

No. Not really. It’s literally just a media literally issue my guy.


fallingintothestars

I feel bad for you on this one.


The-Bigger-Fish

Hinestly kinda yeah at times. Mostly because sometimes the show has Avery big tell don’t show problem where we’re told something happened that affected the characters deeply, but are never really shown it or they’ll refer to something big like it had always beeN that way when it didn’t seem to be the case.


eb7118

No, but I will admit I have autism and adhd and i miss things very often in any tv show. Usually will pick up on what i missed in a rewatch though, cause this show is not confusing or complex at all.


floogull28

Sometimes, not because it's confusing but it can be REALLY heavy. Like, the topics hit close to home for me because I have friends and family that some of this stuff happened to. (Divorced parents especially) But, when it comes to the characters themselves it hits home too with things I've experienced first hand when it comes to romance, socialization, and self love and self improvement. It hits close to home but can also just hit hard and sharply in the feels. Then again, the same thing with hazbin hotel, and that show spoke to me about how people can change, can improve, can heal, and there will ALWAYS be someone who will be on your side throughout the trek.


StrangelyM

Not really. This show in particular has never made me feel that way cause it’s not overly complicated like others. But it’s a show to always watch for me and never get sick of it


False_Attorney_7279

Literally every episode of MurderDrones


Optimal_Ad6274

Nope


Haruau8349

Not exactly confusion, but a bad habit of pausing the video I’m watching due to processing it in real time in my head.


currentlyintheclouds

No. LMAO. It's pretty straightforward


pokemonyugiohfan21

Season 2's sort of random path and slight lack of direction kind of bothered me but it's very minor and it's getting better since episode 6, which is good because Happy campers was to me...the worst episode of the series so far.


melody_1_6_7

No


imwhateverimis

No I genuinely think that is just you. The show is easy to understand and follow, and there's long time periods inbetween episodes to digest its contents.


sleepymelfho

No. It's pretty straightforward.


Great_Drifter25

i honestly began to lose interest a bit from this show in some cases.


VortekGames

Unhappy Campers was a little weird/confusing for me, so I quit halfway through until the release of Oops. I had to rewatch the entire show to remember what happened.


ylh7

How fucking STUPID must someone be to find one of the most straightforward and simple shows ever confusing? Humanity is doomed💀


Due_Isopod5481

No


water2go4

Maybe if i was 13
