I just watched it and...it's fucking awful
Owl House
it is not awful, the last 2 episodes were the better ones especially the very last one which is finally about its premise Eda teaching Luz magic
God this show is trash, completelly generic worldbuilding, overused premise, annoying and poorly developed characters, lazy characters interactions etc
This show is simply pointless and there is literally nothing unique about it in way.
The Cubone is cool tho.
This.
best boy
It’s a very confused experience at best. Look at this poster. You assume this is a show about a girl learning magic from this elder witch. Instead, we’ve spent 10 episodes deciding whether or not Luz should go to a school and be taught by someone else? King also adds nothing to the show. Luz wants to be a witch. The she wants to be a writer. Then a magic student but not in the introductory class (even though she can’t do magic). The show just simply can’t decide what it wants to be.
every episode being about being a witch would be boring and burn out the premise very fast, but I agree that making her go to a witch school is a mistake by the crew
"I'm sowwy a-user, hopefuwwy you'w wike the next episode..."
yeah but the girl with green hair is cute
>IT WOULD BURN OUT THE PREMISE
We had three fucking seasons of the Xiaolin monks training and collecting Shen Gong Wu. Or Juniper Lee training in that mystical world her grandmother said she had to inherit. Or Danny Phantom catching ghosts and becoming a better ghost fighter.
You're really trying to tell me that this show couldn't even do TEN episodes of a girl training to be a witch while learning more about Eda, King, and the world of the Boiling Isles without "burning out"?
>We had three fucking seasons of the Xiaolin monks training and collecting Shen Gong Wu. Or Juniper Lee training in that mystical world her grandmother said she had to inherit. Or Danny Phantom catching ghosts and becoming a better ghost fighter.
no one cares about these shows anymore
The show feels really confused, the premise of a human girl going into a fantasy world to stay with a witch and learn magic sounds interesting at first, but then the whole Owl House is just an excuse so she can have somewhere to stay while doing regular life stuff like go to school or compete against other girl cliques on Instagram. Meanwhile the witch also deals with such magical problems like babysitting the grandchildren, playing with her dog, and going to the store to buy medicine.
It's just bizarre to have the setting and concept and everything and then do nothing with it, I was really hoping we were getting an actually story focused show for a change. If not a coherent story-focused show, at the very least I would've wanted Adventure Time tier random adventure episodes that take advantage of the setting, but the stories require zero adaptation to be placed into a regular real world setting, for example I see the book plot from the latest episode being something from an S5-S10 Simpsons episode 1:1 with Bart and Lisa.

and were shit
Wrong
You really think that would burn out the premise? I mean not just training but the two of them going on adventures together often?
When reduced to thumbnail size, the owl head on the broom looks like a really shiny penis head.
Right

This is the only legitimate critique of the show. I like it anyways but yeah.
>Then she wants to be a writer
This one she said it was back when she thought being a witch wasn't an option.
where is the new episode?
But consider.
cunny
Someone ought to make a "What I expected, what I got" memes for this show, it would fit perfectly.
It's amazing how subdued the show is compared to it's premise and advertising. I think Wizards of Waverly Place felt more like a fantasy than this.
Why do they try to make Alex hirsch cute, it’s hashtag cringe every time he talks I just picture a ginger cartoonist hunched in a booth
>Instead, we’ve spent 10 episodes deciding whether or not Luz should go to a school and be taught by someone else?
You know, I just thought about it. Why exactly does Luz HAVE to go to Hexside? Assuming Eda's not restricted to one coven type, and can do just about any time of magic, most of the spells taught at Hexside could be easily taught by Eda. So once again, why exactly does Luz need to go to Hexside other than to open up an arc (which I'm gonna go ahead and call it, will end with Luz getting kicked out of the school again)?
*type of magic
Bingo user. She doesn’t. It feels forced and very at odds with the base appeal of the premise???
She doesn't HAVE to.
Eda has proven that she's not that interested in being a teacher. Besides being able to learn the basics of magic at the school, it was being with her friends and meeting more people/learning about the world that most compels her to join the school.
The school, in Luz's mind anyway, is a means of learning more about this world and its people.
>Eda has proven that she's not that interested in being a teacher.
THEN WHY BILL THE SHOW AS EDA TEACHING LUZ MAGIC
why not be accurate and describe it as "A human girl is transported to a magical world where she lives with an old witch and goes to magic school"
Because character arcs, dum dum.
Because you need to take time with a character for them to make big changes that are compelling to see them reach.
This is just the first half of the first season. Even Gravity Falls was still focusing on build-up and comedic side-adventures by episode 12.
>Character arcs
How the fuck is lying in the premise a character arc? That isn't what a synopsis is.
