Heartwarming / Musical Hell

• After Diva gives a (rather depressing) review of Pennies from Heaven, she doesn't so much as punish those who made the movie (honestly the movie is their punishment) as she does give the audience a reprieve with this simple verdict: Go watch a happy musical.
• During her verdict of The Thief and the Cobbler (the Miramax version), Diva looks back on how its original creator (despite being a diva) already went through so much from having his "magnum opus" stolen from him, to the point he never spoke of it again. With that in mind, Diva decides he's already suffered enough and leaves him unpunished. In comparison, this is followed by a Moment of Awesome where she punishes those who actively ruined the movie.
• In her review of Music (2021), Diva minces no words about the film's terrible representation of autism, but makes a point to mention that Maddie Zeigler bears none of the blame for the way Music is characterized:
  Diva: It should be noted that this is not Zeigler's fault. She was fourteen years old and following the directions she was given and by all accounts, she was not comfortable with that, even bursting into tears at the justifiable fear that her performance would be seen as mockery. There were adults in the room who should have known and done better, but didn't, and it is on them that the blame for this characterization falls.
• At the end of the Saturday's Warrior review, Donna comforts Diva over how she'd been in a rut ever since reviewing Music and feeling like she couldn't do her job for much longer. Donna responds by assuring Diva that she believes she's "very, very close to something" and will have sorted it out in a year's time—before playfully alluding to the subject of her next review. This becomes a bit of a Tear Jerker too, when you consider how this is likely intended as a Foreshadowing reference to the April 2024 finale of Musical Hell as a whole.
• Any time that Diva gives a movie even one Saving Grace. Because it means that, even in the midst of whatever its flaws might be, Diva saw fit to say that musical did something right. A special mention going to the Sweeney Todd review as she gives a fair review to a movie she likes and even gives the movie two Saving Graces: one for the visuals and one for the ending.
• Despite her heavy dislike of the Descendants franchise, Diva refused to cover Descendants 3 right after Cameron Boyce's sudden passing and even told off the audience members requesting it. When she did review the movie, it was two years after his passing and she acknowledged his death respectfully. Many comments acknowledged Boyce's immense talent.
  Diva: Sweet Lucifer, let Cameron Boyce rest in peace for a bit you vultures.
• When she reviewed Portal 2: The Unathorized Musical, the show's creators turned up in the comments to thank her for it.
• At the end of her Hoodwinked! review, she credits the filmmakers for doing the best they could with their limited resources and declines to punish them, despite her criticisms of the film.
• In "Zombies 3", Diva remarking that had it not been for the Surprisingly Happy Ending, the musical number about Addison parting ways with Zed as Star-Crossed Lovers was so sweet-sounding and gentle that it might've given the "Zombies" trilogy a meaningful and heartfelt (if bittersweet) conclusion.
• The final episode as Diva tells the audience/humanity as a whole that they can always redeem themselves and be better, then bemoaning that she and her fellow demons can’t. Donna then appears to show the scores of comments from viewers thanking her for so many laughs and entertainment. As Diva is amazed she's actually done some good in the world, Donna says that her advice applies to her too, and the first step is to say she wants to redeem herself. Diva is doubtful that an apology can change anything, but gives a wholehearted one for whatever put her in Hell to begin with and says she truly wants a second chance. We cut to a recording studio room as a live-action Christi Esterle jerks awake to the voice of her daughter calling her for dinner, and exits.
