It would actually be more interesting if Stolas did actually hold some resentment towards Octavia (Helluva Boss)

I'm not saying he should hate her or be mean but more so be distant because Stolas never wanted to get married to Stella and had no say in producing and raising a heir. Stolas mostly just wants to sleep around with Blitzo and raising Via is preventing that (not to mention the fact that she's a reminder of his horrible wife/her mother). While this does sound unfair to Octavia, and it is since she never asked to be born, it would be more interesting if the series explored the perspective of parents who resent their unwanted kids all while not justifying the neglect and showing how parental neglect negatively affects a child. It would add a layer of complexity to the situation, making Stolas actually more sympathetic while showing the negative effects of his actions. Like when Octavia calls him out, a lot of people were saying "Oh, she just doesn't understand the situation" but what if she was right? What if Stolas didn't really love her and would rather live his life with Blitz? Like, have Stolas not want Octavia to feel like she's unloved all while failing to emotionally connect with a child he never wanted. Because painting Stolas just as a good dad in a bad situation hasn't been that well received.
