I guess weirdos have to stick together.
AND YES, I WILL MAKE A POST ABOUT THE SHOWS ANNIVERSARY. But the short that goes with it is having technical issues so i'll do it tomorrow.

Happy New Year everyone.

And now for something completely different: Aubergine's commentary on The Owl House.
Well, we gotta start somewhere, don't we? Here we go...
This is the only time we've seen people enter the Owl House by being EATEN by Hooty. Part of me wishes they'd done this more, but at the same time, the fact it only happens this once in the show kinda makes it all that better of a gag.
One other thing: I've noticed that Hooty getting poked in the eyes or punched or otherwise being the butt of physical comedy was a bit of a recurring gag in these early episodes.
Only a human can break through the magical force field where King's crown from "Burger Queen" is being held. Guess who turns out to be a human?
Snake oil salesmen were notorious conmen. But in this case, Eda is a legitimate seller of snake oil!
"Because nobody likes an un-oiled snake!"
In S1E2, "Witches Before Wizards", Luz asks King if she really is the only human on the Boiling Isles. King replies: "Haven't seen any others."
He's technically right, he hasn't SEEN a human... as far as he's aware.
Adegast, about to send Luz on a phony quest, says she's the chosen one meant to purge the land of an "ancient evil". He's making it all up, of course... but he has no idea how true that last bit about "ancient evil" is.
Intentional reference or not, this guy reminds me of The Keeper of the Bridge of Death (also known as "The Old Man From Scene 24") from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Aside from physical likeness, he serves more or less the same role; asking travelers questions to determine whether they may cross the bridge.
Only if you fail to correctly answer The Keeper of the Bridge of Death's question as to what your favorite color is, you are cast into THE GORGE OF ETERNAL PERIL!

Also, Adegast (the puppeteer demon, the main antagonist of this episode) is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes, the voice of Medic from the game Team Fortress 2. Once you have this knowledge you can't un-hear the Medic's voice in this episode.
To think... THIS was our introduction to Amity Blight.
And to think... THIS was Luz's reaction to Amity the first time she ever saw her. My, how things have changed.
Luz comes up with the nickname "Gus" for Augustus Porter because she knew an Augustus from the human realm who was nicknamed "Gus". So... WHO IS GUS THE HUMAN?
Okay, rather unimportant detail, but notice the door to the left of the Owl House in the picture below.
That door leads into the Owl House's shed. (Owl Shed?) I think this is the only time we see inside the Owl Shed in the show, as far as I'm aware.
Mundane detail? Yes, but still the kind of detail I like.
See if you can spot where Bill Cipher is hiding on King's board of demons!
HOOTY'S DEAD!
Alas, the Hooty abuse continues.
Luz first sees the light glyph when rewatching the video she took of Eda making a light spell circle (before falling unconscious). The video glitches a bit before showing the actual glyph inside the spell circle.
Remember... the Titan is always watching. And in "King's Tide", Philip remarks how it took him years to find all the glyphs, saying it was almost like the Titan himself had kept them from him.
Perhaps this was the Titan's handiwork? What do you think?

"WHERE ARE YOU NOW, DUCKY SOCK?"

Let me take you back to the very first episode. If you will remember, King’s crown was hidden behind a force field only a human could enter. This would seem a bit unnecessary on the Boiling Isles at first; after all, no humans live there.
But consider this: Belos is a human.
What if the force field was specifically made so only he could enter? As the sole human on the Isles (until Luz), no one else could enter there.
This was the biggest bit of foreshadowing until Elsewhere and Elsewhen and we missed it.
Do you think it would've been interesting to see Camila Noceda blaming Luz Noceda for leaving home in her nightmare?
Don't you think Eda and King's reasons for why Warden Wrath had to help Eda are ridiculously petty? Don't you think they should've given better reasons for why he should have to help Eda? The only good reason Eda had was Warden Wrath "imprisoning" Luz, which never happened. She probably meant to say threatened. How are chopping off her head and stealing his crown good reasons for why he should have to help her? How about wrongfully imprisoning and punishing innocent people for ridiculously minor reasons and playing sort of a role in Eda's petrification ceremony? Those are better reasons.

Do you think King's character development was undermined in "Reaching Out"? He told Warden Wrath that one of the reasons for why he has to help Eda is because he stole his crown, but that wasn't a good reason. That was just a poor excuse. King should've just gotten over it since that was a long time ago or a while ago. He got a replacement crown and Eda told him that he was never the king of demons. Since he got a new crown, which he happily accepted, from Luz and learned that he was never the king of demons from Eda, then he should've just let go of Warden Wrath stealing his crown and move on already.

Was it annoying that the series premiere put an excessive level of emphasis about that one shouldn't be punished simply for being different?
This post is locked.
Do you think Eda Clawthorne probably can't take a joke? She has no problem with tauntingly reminding Warden Wrath about Luz Noceda defeating him twice and even tells him to chill out when he got angry at her, but after learning that King lied to Edric Blight about Warden Wrath being her ex-boyfriend, she snapped at Edric for innocently calling Warden Wrath her ex.
Do you think Vee was right or wrong for calling Luz out on leaving her own mother in "Yesterday's Lie"?
Since Eda Clawthorne refused to go on a date with Warden Wrath due to the facts that he's a creepy stalker, he cut her head off and threatened Luz Noceda, do you think she should've simply accepted the fact that Warden Wrath didn't want to tell her what's going on at Emperor Belos' castle, the truth about the Day of Unity and Raine Whispers' uncharacteristic behavior and moved on instead of trying to get answers out of him by other means?
Do you think Luz Noceda deserved to be called out by Vee for running away and lying to her own mother Camila Noceda about where she was in "Yesterday's Lie"?

If the Titan could use the cubes to look through reflections in the between space, and his eye kinda looks like the owl House window, does that mean the blinking eye on the window in the first episode is direct foreshadowing?
OMG Please someone tell me if I'm right Abt this, I'm gonna go crazy
