YMMV / Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival

Go To

  • Complete Monster (includes the first film): God himself is the primary antagonist. A cruel tyrant and perfectionist who has condemned countless innocents to Hell just because he cannot stomach the idea of "imperfect" beings entering his false utopia, God reigns over a rigid caste system that leaves the lowest citizens to sweatshop labor, keeping Heaven "clean" through an obsessive, tyrannical rule. A Psychopathic Manchild who does not see his creations as people, ranging from tormenting them to raping them if he pleases, God even tests his most loyal servant, the Agent, by forcing him to manipulate his lover and condemn her to Hell before then sending the Agent himself to Hell much later with full knowledge of what will happen, even giving him a signed book to mock him for his fate, and even boasts of causing a disastrous dust storm to spite humanity for their "wickedness". Though he claims to be a loving ruler whose every action is benevolent, God proves to in fact be a petty, spiteful tyrant whose evil disgusts even Lucifer.
  • Fridge Brilliance: Right before the Agent leaves for Hell, God claims that he sees him as a son. Considering what happened to God's last son, that serves as a good foreshadow for the Agent's fate.
    • The onscreen narration calls Heaven's outcasts "numberless". On initial watch, it means there are a lot of them, but if you think about it Heaven stripped June of even her Seven status before being pushed out. The outcasts are literally without numbers.
  • Narm: Lucifer's mustache earned more than a few snickers at multiple showings during the Road Tour.
