Six months had passed, so I added some Broken Base entries based on points argued about when the episode was released. If I missed anything or got anything wrong, feel free to correct or change things.

%% Per Administrivia/NoRecentExamplesPlease, do not add Base-Breaking Character, Broken Base, The Scrappy until 6 months after the episode's release (April 29, 2024).
Added DiffLines:
* BrokenBase:
** Mammon became rather popular among fans when he was introduced, being the first Sin to be an antagonistic Jerkass, a breath of fresh air from Asmodeus and the divisive Beezlebub, and notably being a plus-sized character (that wasn't a background character). However, others were not as enthused, finding his design questionable, likening him to a Christmas Tree, and his giant form no better, being a spider ([[InNameOnly neither of which has anything to do with how Mammon is depicted in demonology]]). Anonther issue was while fans were glad to have plus-sized representation finally, they weren't as enthused that the character in question was an antagonist. Lastly, some fans groaned at the prospect of Mammon being yet another recurring antagonist, noting the already long list of villains[[note]]Stella, CHERUBS, Striker, DHORKS, Andrealphus, Crimson[[/note]], especially one that has no connections to the main cast (outside of Fizz being friends with Blitzo)
** Arick Burnz (the creepy stalker fan-turned-hater of Fizz) became a topic of debate upon his introduction. While he was written to be a personification of negative and disturbing aspects of fandoms and fans as a whole, some people felt he was a thinly-veiled TakeThat towards the critics of both Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel and Vivienne herself, further supplemented when certain fans started using him to represent said critics, as well as Vivienne's infamous history for not taking criticisms well. Otherwise, others simply felt he was superfluous to the overall episode, contributing very little to the plot.
** While fans were glad to get another episode with Fizzarolli as a focus, some felt Fizzarolli's character had begun to decline, feeling he was suffering the same 'woobification' Stolas had gone under throughout season 2, going from a confident and snarky antagonist who had no qualms airing out Blitzo and Stolas' dirty laundry alongside in "OZZIE'S" to someone suffering anxiety attacks and being intimidated by the Glam Sisters and Arick. And while people still love his and Asmodeus' relationship, some felt their relationship had went from being a more healthy yet antagonistic foil to Blitzo and Stolas to becoming overly saccharine, especially with the song "Crooked".
** The scene involving Oliver, the deaf child, became another heated topic of debate. While many fans enjoyed it for the wholesome moment between him and Fizz and being positive representation for the deaf community, others felt the scene came off as an aritficial heart-warmer to win brownie points with fans, questioning why they're even at an event clearly not aimed at children.
** Blitzo's inclusion in the episode. While some fans did enjoy the brief interactions the two had, especially after rekindling their friendship, others felt his presence in the episode was pointless, only being there cause he was the main protagonist. While he was hired to help Asmodeus convince Fizz to back out of the pageant, the most he contributed to the plot was killing Arick (who himself was not as relevant to the plot) and a humping Hellhound during "Two Minutes Notice", with Asmodeus being the one to convince to quit Mammon anyways.

** Speakingof Arick, in his introduction he seemed to think he was a talented entertainer yet to be discovered. Later, he's just a guy running a blog. Did his career fail because he had no talent? Because he was impossible to work with? Or was he too lazy to even try to be an entertainer without Fizz?

* SalvagedStory: Many fans are actually relieved that Mammon turned out to be a genuinely evil bastard, arguing that previously established Sins having overt redeeming qualities (Beelzebub and Asmodeus) makes [[WebAnimation/{{Hellaverse}} the setting]] much [[AHellOfATime tamer and more wholesome than it often strives to be]].

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Mammon, the titular antagonist, is manipulative, greedy, and shameless in how much he says CrossesTheLineTwice. Regardless, fans LoveToHate him. The antagonist that gets the most scorn from the fanbase is Arick, a creepy unkempt stalker with ''none'' of Mammon's LaughablyEvil tendencies, who repeatedly attempts to make Fizz's life miserable just because he rejected him, something that [[RealismInducedHorror hit close to home]] for a lot of fans. The fact that Fizz was eventually able to stand up to Mammon and tell him to TakeThisJobAndShoveIt (in musical form, no less), yet had a panic attack at the mere ''sight'' of Arick, only cements this further.

** After Blitzo hits Arick with his gun, some of Fizz's fans can be heard cheering. Was this because they also thought that Arick was a creep and wanted him gone or was it because they were annoyed he was insulting Fizzaroli? Or was it possibility a mix of the two?
