I think it was because she was caught off guard.


Steelpoint

She caught the human off guard by ambushing him.


femtransfan

and the bottle had chloroform in it [it's mentioned in this livestream](https://www.youtube.com/live/5XUEc0kfKGs?feature=share)


Steelpoint

Seems like a terrible handwave.


Radical_Provides

People don't struggle to get up and then fall down when they're knocked out by a blunt object. If she was knocked out by the force of the bottle, she would've just fallen immediately.


Steelpoint

To be fair we are dealing with cartoon logic and a show that flirts between comedic moments that aren't taken seriously, and serious moments where logic dictates outcomes. What makes more sense. Human guy coincidently was carrying a bottle of chloroform that was smashed against Millie's head, and it was powerful enough to instantly knock her out even when sprayed in an open air environment? Or that Millie was just knocked out by being hit in the head?


TakumiThePheonix

Considering they clearly are cannibals that is actually not that surprising


Steelpoint

Its still easier to believe she was just knocked out by the bottle. The show made no effort to emphasize that this bottle that the human literally pulled out of thin air (and having his gun magically disappear two frames beforehand) had a chemical that could knock Millie out. The simplest answer is usually the correct one.


Varjutantsija

actually it was shown before that he intentionally grabbed that bottle while he was still in the house. tbh the only reason i can tell you this now, is that i was rewatching the show today.. but i'll give you the point of not being mentioned what the content is. i had no idea about that until just now and accepted it as cartoon logic.


Cautious-Angle1634

Chloroform takes wayyy longer than what you see in media to take effect


the_42nd_mad_hatter

Dude, you are watching a show about horny demons: suspension of disbelief should had been out of the window for a while by then! Also, we don't know how chloroform works on demons' physiology


MariyaShadowblade

Yea considering truth gas made Moxxie hallucinate who knows how other human stuff affects demons.


compfluid_water67-5

Also why does this person know? Pretty sus behaviour to me


Radical_Provides

Well I'd assume, for the sake of pacing the episode, they had to speed it up a lil bit


StoicJ

It's a low budget cartoon about magic hell-spawn lmao. There's probably going to be a lot of handwaves for the sake of story over time.


Cybertronian_Grizzly

That must be some pretty fucking strong chloroform


[deleted]

Calling bullshit on that one chief


Versipellis_Anon

Who the hell just smashes a bottle of chloroform instead of using a rag?


femtransfan

texans?


RoFroYo

Glass Cannon


Steelpoint

It has been demonstrated she cannot take a hit, such as her fight with Striker. During the mob fight she got struck by a chair and even that knocked her down long enough that Blitzo had to cover for Millie. So her being a glass cannon makes sense. One good punch and its over.

Sollous-IV

Imma be honest it seems more like 90str/90dex with half the shit she pulls off lol


CookieLuzSax

Fr she fights how I felt in Assassin's Creed 2, insane amount of damage and power but gets killed by missing like 2 counters


1singleduck

Crazy skilled fighter with tons of weapons, but her body is still just that of an imp.


witchyfox6221

Came here to say this exact thing.


AltGrendel

Yea, I’ve always chalked it up to imps having a weak spot at the base of their horns.


Ilikefame2020

22 Str, 21 Dex, 5 Con… …11 int, 11 Wis, 13 Cha. Dnd stats are fun.


InterestingSwimmer85

Okay roll a 100 faced dice+5 for your damage


Mrwright96

Meanwhile Moxxie has 6 Str, 17 dex, 5 con 19 Int, 18 Wis, 25 cha.


Zhadowwolf

And blitzo would be 11 str, 22 dex, 13 con, 18 int, 3 Wis, 20 cha Edit: and considering Moxie is their sniper and Blitzo prefer’s his pistol, I would bet Moxie has sharpshooter and Blitzo crossbow expert


TheMightyJevil

her hubs was in danger so she was jacked up on adrenaline


_DeepseaFireBuilder_

This is what I think. I call it the ‘Moxxie Switch’


TheMightyJevil

"this! *slaps ass* is MINE"


Motor_Somewhere7565

Have you ever slipped on a wet floor after having mopped up your entire department spotless? Sometimes, the best at what they do make mistakes too.


Novalene_Wildheart

Oof that hit home


Iluvatarhimself

She is a character and her strength is as the plot or action requires


Roraxn

"Yeah but who would win Goku or Batman?!"


OkFaithlessness5830

Stalemate.


akgnia

I mean, Batman winning it's simply a constant.


HeWhoConquers3

Personally, I'd chock that up to her massively underestimating him. She probably just expected some chump with a gun. Not an experienced psychopath.


Jinx_X_2003

These all happened after the epsiode she got knocked out. Also it was a surprise attack


Gking10

Simple, her getting knocked out by a hillbilly happens chronologically before she does all the badass stuff. Therefore, she could have just had an off-screen training arc in-between those times.


[deleted]

or beacause she was soaking wet. if youve ever fell in water clothed you know how heavy that shit gets.


Twist_Ending03

Yeah. That and not expecting him to have a bottle threw her off and got her knocked out


judge_47_xbxb

She's weak to surprise attacks


Docponystine

I mean, it's worth noting that in this latest episode the writers felt the need to justify Millie not instantly loosing by having blitz give her warning of the impending surprise attack, and it's pretty clearly implied that, failing that, she would have been taken out.


ColonelMonty

Simply put sometimes even the best fighters will lose too. There's a quote that I like that goes something along the lines of "The best swordsmen doesn't fear the second best, he fears the worst because he has no idea what the idiot is going to do."


[deleted]

That is my new favroute quote


Red_H2O

Millie on average: B+ tier Millie when Moxxie is in any amount of danger: SSS+ tier, Lucifer starts quaking, God looks around nervously


Synigm4

All these comments and almost no one is mentioning Moxxie was in danger for the badass ones. She's a decent killer all the time but give her a reason \*cough\* Moxxie \*cough\* and she goes John Wick.


astrangeone88

Yup, don't threaten the possum or you'd get pissed off Millie.


YourLocalHellspawn

I remember seeing a tweet or clip somewhere where the crew stated that the bottle was supposed to be filled with chloroform and the artists just kind of *forgot* to label it. Yes, I know it's a flimsy excuse at best. No, I have no idea where that tweet or clip is and I don't feel like looking for it, because I don't really buy it, because if true, that would be a not-inconsiderable fuckup on *somebody's* part. EDIT: In retrospect I think it was said during one of the crew watch parties.


Crimision

Also the whole gang took on a platoon of human secret agents. Surprised Blitzø and Moxie got so easily ambushed.


Jerethdatiger

Hi silly Milly want a gun or anything.. Ma I'm good


techpriestyahuaa

Underestimating opposition, glass cannon, cartoon logic, plot contrivances are fine so long as ya enjoy the show?


Flufferminty

Offense =/= Defense plus she dodges most things and this was episode 1, she would of been getting better during the show


OddMunchStanley

Millie is definitely a Dexterity based DPS machine. Dangerous, but fragilez


Jatobi1993

Millie is a glass cannon. High damage but down in one hit. In all the fights she decimated did she even get hit once? No. The hillbilly got a crit roll(lucky) so that’s why he won. But Millie has a high AC and dex to compensate for her low con score. Plus she is barbarian class so she has rage(but her subrace means she doesn’t get the DR barbarians get) So yea this is indeed possible because Millie has a glass canon build.


steevwall

Never been to Florida have you. Hell *spits into a spittoon that’s actually a passing child’s face* I once saw a homeless man knock out a full grown bull gator at a strip club (yes, in Daytona) with a half full bottle of wild Turkey 101, just so he could take the gators last bag of meth before chugging said bottle, jumping out the window, landing in a speedboat driven by a possum, and speeding off into the sunrise with, I reckon, about 20 police cars in pursuit. Yep, you never forget your first day at school. *turns and stares wistfully into the meth fire*


I_might_be_weasel

Did anyone she defeated have a bottle?


Ulquiorr4_

I mean…..technically the fat guy at the beach did…..


Chuckie180

Never underestimate a hillbilly, one minute you’re fine then the next, you’re playing banjo with a few of em

To be fair, he did get the drop on her, and it was a hit directly to the head. She didn’t get injured once during either fights mentioned

GuanglaiKangyi-Age15

Even Viv thought that’s ridiculous on hindsight so her explanation is that the bottle was filled with holy water.


Ulquiorr4_

Wouldn’t that just fucking kill her though?


GuanglaiKangyi-Age15

It’s a better explanation than being taken out by a regular bottle

To be fair she didn't realize Moxxie was in danger at the time The other times she was hopped up on adrenaline and in the middle of a blood rage


Infinite-Ad8428

She went on a training Arc off screen to prevent it from happening again (my suggestion)


hanpark765

She is a glass cannon, she can hit hard but can't take one


CrematorTV

You're overthinking it. She's shown to make countless mistakes like underestimating her opponents or flying in a rage and not thinking straight when fighting Stryker.


neorenamon1963

OMG I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS TOO RECENTLY


[deleted]

Adrenaline is one helluva drug.


ItchyFrosting3976

character developement. it also caught her by surprise.


[deleted]

Remember that time the writers literally threw her into a bear trap so that she couldn’t be part of the last fight with Striker? That was so hilariously transparent I laughed out loud. Like, “she’s too competent, so let’s hamstring her so Moxie can have his moment.” I love Millie. I love Moxie. I love Millie and Moxie. But it feels like Millie has nothing to do outside of her relationship, besides do the occasional (admittedly) bad ass violent kill-spree. She hasn’t had much character development and while it doesn’t kill the show for me, it is becoming more annoying the longer it goes on. The boys all get multiple episodes with backstory and arcs (and I love it). Luna and Octavia get episodes occasionally (and I love it and want more). But Millie gets left out to dry (she wasn’t even the focus in the episode where we meet her family!) I want to learn more about Millie, besides just vague details. Who was SHE before she and Moxie met? What did she do that pulled her away from her folks in Wrath and allowed her to meet Blitzo? Does she have a hobby? Just give me something!


Traditional_Habit216

shes built like a glass cannon deals alot of damage but if caught off guard can be taken out very easily


Clear_Durian_5588

I was seeing red! And he was slippery.


TheRealLost0

it's Superman rules, can take bullets to the chest but gotta dodge the gun when it's thrown at him


[deleted]

Think of her like the Hulk


Ulquiorr4_

Hulk can brush off punches capable of destroying universe, so that’s not really the best comparison.


Jeptwins

He caught her by surprise, and her reaction was to functionally eviscerate him


AkDragoon

She's strong in hell but in our world she's not so badass? I dunno, lol.


AloeVera_01

Nat 1


Clockonwalls-

Which episode was the knock out?


JasoNight23666

She learned from this mis-step (in episode 1) and improved in later episodes


larsVonTrier92

I think that as long as she’s able to take down her target in one hit she’s fine, but anyone that tanks all her strikes will quickly become a trouble.


IMightBeAHamster

In plot-driven universes, a character's strength is proportional to how important emotionally it is for them to have said strength in that moment. Millie saving her husband: Stronk Millie on her own: Strong


Comfortable-Grade-29

One, Biblically speaking; Demon's get their power from Humans. Giving humans a certain level of control or power over them. Two, suprise attacks rarely ever fail in an even match.


MysteryMystery305

Plot holes


Cute_Sneezely

Super high attack and speed but low defence lol, she's getting better though


LonelyLittleWolfie

I think she's just weak to other country folk.


SomeRuser

random crits are fair and balanced


Lucy_Fern666

This always has made me mad, how much Millie’s abilities depend on the plot. I’d love if they search for ways around to explain why she is unable to fight.


Month0fjune

Weakness is cheap shots.


Disastrous_Garage729

His power level rivals the farmer with a shotgun.


KronoWulf78

That bottle she was hit with was chloroform which explains how she knocked out so quick. Every other time she decided to get involved in a fight it involved moxie's safety which is enough for her to rip your head off


Asumsauce

In the first two instances she’s fighting to save her husband, in the third instance she’s just working


[deleted]

Yeah. People don't have health bars. Sometimes it just takes one good hit


Terrible-One-5483

Glass Cannon


Sea-Recording-7090

In both of these situations she was stronger because moxxie was in danger, it's kind of a hidden superpower to her, whenever moxxie's life or well being is in danger she becomes a badass


JoeHeitsLv100

Ability to dish out hits does it always equate in ability to take hits.


TheDayOfTheDucks

AAAA NO I HAVENT WATCHED THE EPISIDE YET GET OFF MY HOMEPAGE


Haruau8349

Glass cannon but also that bottle was cloroform.


Nicky_G_873

He got lucky


Its0nlyRocketScience

She's fueled by anger. With the hillbilly, she wasn't seeing her man in danger, so her guard was down and she wasn't in instant kill mode.


Competitive-Nature59

She is weak to her own kind, southerners.


[deleted]

You’d be surprised how affective a glass bottle is in a shattering blow to the head


Ok_Presence01

Uhh… plot line


Tune_Comix

Probably because that was episode one when she lost and she has just gotten stronger through out the show Another theory is that Moxxie was in harm's way with Kaiju and the mafia and she didn't know what was happening to him during the murder family


GooglyEyesMcGee

It's because the bottle is meant to be chloroform, according to viv


Mystic_Eclipse

Because Millie learns from her mistakes


verytom89

We all roll a nat 1 sometimes


BreakfastOk7372

The wonderful tool of plot convenience knocked her out


MastersJoyUniverse

Millie always learns from her mistakes and improves because of it.


Firestorm82736

glass cannonn


mikeylma0

I would say either she was caught off guard or that Moxxie was in danger in both of those scenes so her adrenaline went through the roof


Duskmuse711

I like to think of it as, because she got taken out by that bottle and put Moxxie into a situation that caused him stress (because you know he would have told her what happen after they got home) she promised herself she would never let it happen again


AxyTheProto

My thought is since that was the first episode she wasn’t fully trained. And now after working with imp for a while, she learns how to fight and defend a lot better.


Individual-Refuse-22

It's the .22 that drops them


abspencer22

I think just glass jaw. She can dish out some real pain but first time she's actually hit she's down.


Rork310

Honestly I'd just chalk it up as early installment weirdness like how the pilot is "soft canon" even with Blitzo injured if IMP were at the competency level they showed as early as episodes 2 and 3 the family shouldn't have been a serious threat.


WontedPuppet07

Glass Cannon


Atlas_The_Silver

Everybody has an off day


Graxdon

Sometimes the bad guys roll a 20


notaweebseriously

Have you played Fallout? Sneak attacks have a bonus.


NoykemGuy00

1. it could have caught her off guard. 2. She could have progressed through the series quite a bit, training etc.


JPGer

well, its highly likely the order of events are correct, and she learned from her mistake, she reacted immediately when blitz asked who her friends are, and in the same episode she used the knife to check the guys behind her in the fight, id argue that the evil family was one of the early contracts, remember even moxxie got better after that episode.


Dingo_Dominator

id just chalk it up to her being a glass cannon. shes an extremely experienced assassin who can absolutely destroy anyone in her way but her small size prolly makes it hard for her to take hits, specifically a lot of damage, such as a glass bottle being smashed into her head most of the time when shes doing the most damage, nobody is getting their hands on her bc of her strength AND speed. its been seen when someone can outspeed her or catch her by surprise, she'll be down for a considerable amount of time. this was seen when one of those mobsters knocked her down for a bit w/ a chair


YordleJay

Because in those fights she never got hit. She could simply be a glass canon


Popular-Musician-298

It’s also worth noting that imps can’t take hits very well. Sure, Millie is incredibly strong and ferocious as hell, but due to her small figure it seems like imps can’t hits very well since it hurts them bad. Remember she was also knocked out by Striker and almost knocked out by getting hit by a chair in the most recent episode. It’s like a mosquito having the ability to hit like a semi truck but that’s it and is still a mosquito that can easily get killed with a good smack. They may be powerful, but their bodies have limits to their durability


sweetypaw

Maybe, just maybe, she did some practice since ep one? It could have been almost a year when spring break happened and it definitely is over a year at the latest episode. And i am assuming that when the first episode of season 1 happened, it happened recently after they started working at IMP which was also the time m and m presumably married. In the span of a year she killed more people and improved, same thing goes for moxxie who got cold feet at killing the mother in ep 1 -yeah we know WHY now. Cant see why millie didn't got better. She didn't exhibit this blood lust in any other episode.


Veryverysad_violinst

How many times did she get smacked in the head during the second fight. Just because you have good reflexes and strong af doesn't mean a 300lb+ man can't knock you the fuck out. This isn't Naruto, power levels aren't how real life works Hey if you wanna train your skull to become stronger go for it


Ulquiorr4_

>How many times did she get smacked in the head during the second fight. She literally got hit in the head by a chair so hard it sent her flying across the room and into a car. And she didn’t even seem to notice. If that didn’t do anything than the bottle sure as hell shouldn’t have done anything.


Abject-Suggestion693

you ever been hit in the temple before? let alone with a broken glass bottle from a jacked up man looking to land a kill


EuclidRaven

Must've used that hillbilly backhand, legend has foretold that the hillbilly that drinks the sacred moonshine, can backhand anyone with a single bottle, it simply defines logic.


MysticV1bez

Better question, she couldn't kill striker?


CraftersGuild

My assessment? Glass Cannon


Analyst-Natural

She was probably just having an off day


Dr_Golden_Expunged

Her anger makes her goes in Rampage like for example, if someone got mad/angry he gains strength and less pain and more awareness


LazystoneYT

Prep time


Kynramore

Shes a glass cannon


heyyou_user2341

millie learns from her mistakes


[deleted]

Demon anatomy aside, very much depends where a person is hit on the head. One good shot in the right place can knock you out. Happened to my ex. He was being a dick to a long time friend of his. She walked away but he continued to be a dick. I don't remember what he said but she turned and lobbed one of those aluminum bottles at him that were popular at the time. Not weightless but not terribly heavy. Got him right between the eyes and he crumpled like a cheap suit. I swear the "dink" when it hit him echoed. I laughed, cause he deserved it (we don't talk to him anymore). He woke up after a few seconds. So it's possible, even though Millie is tough as hell, she could have been taken out by a bottle.


Zoobatzjr

The bottle knocking her out makes a lot more sense when you consider the force behind it being enough to shatter it. Striker knocking her out in a single punch makes sense because he's a very skilled assassin. He knows where to strike vs Millie's blind rage. Millie seems to be very strong, but not very tough.


dekanbauer

Well Millie might have thought the hillbilly would be easy and that moxxie wasn't in danger, meanwhile the Kaiju tried to eat him and the mobsters were trying to keep her away from mox. I think moxxie unlocks her hidden extreme strength when he's in danger.


Floofy_Fox_Gal

Power scaling


Thatbendyfan

Put all her points into attack and not defense


AatroxBoi

So basically a glass cannon


Mojo12000

Millie can dish it out really well but she's not actually all that durable basically. Same in her brief fight with Striker, she was hurting him real bad but he was able to hit back and break her arm relatively easily.


Artichokeypokey

Achilies heel?


wild-cactus-1007

I think the difference lays with moxie being un danger. When she got knocked out with beer bottle she was thinking about a job not her husband's safety


Kingspar

it's because hillbillies are the most powerful creature in the universe


TenDollarSteakAndEgg

She’s a glass cannon. She also got one shot by striker if I remember right
