"Ozzie is NOT more powerful than Satan and would be defeated in an actual fight against him"
This is the most important part of the whole thing for me. Two specific phrases come to mind when discussing Satan and Asmodeus: "Might makes Right" and "A lover, not a fighter".
Satan throws his weight around and rules out of fear and an absence of the one person above him that he might actually listen to. He gets to be top dog while Lucifer is away. He's Wrath incarnate. He's not going to listen to a well thought out argument, he's not going to care about character witnesses or whatever justification that Ozzie or anyone else could spin. He IS Might, and he gets to decide what's RIGHT (hence why he's the judge in Hell's courtroom).
Asmodeus, on the other hand, is all about desire and attraction and beauty. He's not the sort of person who's going to get into a full-on fight. The only time we see him threaten any demons (aside from Mammon) are those that are a fair bit weaker than him, and he only ever threatens, never fights. His stand-off with Mammon, while up against a Sin on the same level as himself, is still more about proving a point and standing up for Fizz that it is about fighting Mammon.
How many times do I need to keep saying it:
Blitz and Stolas were in fact guilty of a crime and Ozzie knew about it, so if he wasn't careful, he would be implicated and Fizz would have been killed as punishment that would also serve to keep Ozzie in-line in the future (since we saw Satan clearly doesn't minding killing imps and punishment for royals doesn't involve them dying) all while Blitz and I.M.P. still wind up dead since they got convicted for possessing the book. Also, Ozzie is NOT more powerful than Satan and would be defeated in an actual fight against him, meaning Fizz and the others would still wind up dead because Ozzie stood up to him and very well could have his people put in danger/killed as retribution for defying Satan's law as well.
I'm sorry, but I just keep shaking my head or getting angry at people repeatedly overlooking/forgetting that fact and acting like Ozzie is a classist asshole when he clearly didn't want Blitz to die but he was in a no-win situation here, especially with Satan running the court and almost every other royal there not giving a damn about the lower class. -_-
#hope you don't mind me jumping in on this op#also i find it veeeeeeeeery interesting that i've seen a few DOZEN posts between tumblr and the subreddit criticizing Ozzie#or hoping that he and Fizz break up or saying that Fizz deserves to be pissed at him for it#but like. one or MAYBE two doing the same for Bee#she's in the same position he is! both of them did the EXACT SAME AMOUNT of standing up for blitzø and both of them IMMEDIATELY#cast their vote to hear testimony and BOTH OF THEM HAVE A LOWER-CLASS PARTNER TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT#why is only Ozzie facing this level of criticism from the fanbase?#hint: it's because Bee's played by Kesha and would be much less likely to have an episode revolving around her recognizing her placement#in hell's heirarchy and trying to do better bc Kesha's gonna be expensive to get#while Ozzie is much more likely to have that storyline#helluva boss#meta#asmodeus#satan#kat chats#fizzarolli#fizzmodeus
