Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

I haven’t seen the show, yet it being unceremoniously dumped onto YT isn’t a good sign for its profitability.

Disney just wanted to burn these off.
The definition of you can't even give these away. Considering they released the final specials for free on youtube as opposed to keeping them behind the almighty Disney plus pay wall.

Harry Potter level of protagonist importance and Little Witch academia set up but fuckery at the level of He-Man. That’s my take of it.
Promising start only to crash and burn before it even got to its second season.
 
Good to know it wasn’t just me.

Okay, I just watched the final episode of The Owl House (Yeah, I hate myself) and what a shock.
It's tripe and lacks any originality.

It pulls every card, every cringy trick that has plagued modern cartoons since shows like Steven Universe, it redeems a villain who has tormented people for their amusement, and Luzs gains God mode and overpowers the real big bad villain.

And by the way, you wanna know who the real villain of this show is?
Well, as it turns out, all horrors and drama, all the evil that tormented the people in this world were caused in this show, were all caused by "gasp" A WHITE MAN!!!

That's right. A white male is the real villain of The Owl House, and you wanna know why? It's because he's racist and wants to make an ethnostate for humans, so he turns himself into an undead demon to carry out his genocidal plan.
So, of course, he doesn't deserve redemption for his racism and gets stomps to death.

Now this part where the show tries to pull off this tragic sacrifice where Luzs losses the ability to use glyphs which were the primary source of her powers, and now she is just a normal huma- NAH NOPE!!!

She's still learning in magic school and, in true mary sue fashion, is taking all the magic lessons in the school (because these people have no concept of committing to one skill and are so egotistical that they think they can do anything), including the most important lesson of them all, Bi History.

The portal to the magic is open (Thus lacking any consequences that the final episode Amphibia had, which is why that show overshadows The Owl House). The cast says goodbye to their minuscule fanbase, THE END.

What a waste of people's time and money, and all for a show based on the creator's magical gay self-insert fanfic.
 
I haven't watched a single second of Owl House but this god mode shit is retarded. Has no one learned that the biggest complaint about the last season of Avatar was the energy bending bullshit. Also, you could probably semi-redeem someone who's done horrible shit, but you need to make them have some kind of regret and have them either give in to their consequences or sacrifice themselves.

I find it best to stick the first 12 or so eps and pretend the show ended before it really go anywhere.

Hey remember how in the third harry potter book hermonie tried to do that same thing and it was utterly impossible so she needed a device that can manipulate time and space itself to be in two places at once? Yeah call her a terf all you want danna at least jk Rowling knows how to write without falling into plot holes (usually)
 
Owl House is finally over now... any thoughts on the finale?
It looked kind of like crap from all of the Internet discourse that I saw and followed all the beats of SU whilst appealing to the Woke crowd so yeah I’ve never watched any of it, and seeing how it ended on such a whimper probably never will,. Rest in peace I guess.

Basic bitch finale for a basic bitch show. It's a shame, though. I like the idea of Belos' character. The leader of the demon/witch realm secretly being a witchhunter who is plotting to genocide the world out of revenge because centuries ago he felt that his brother was seduced by a witch which is why Belos killed him in an attempt to save his soul? Pretty interesting. Unfortunately, everything surrounding that is complete ass.
So what was Owl House exactly? I kept hearing people mentioning it but in the astroturf way that it absolutely does not appear outside of journos (unlike SU memes for example).
It's Little Witch Academia but Akko and Diana end up together. Actually, Akko and Diana have more chemistry than Luz and Amity do.

Not to mention the "Oh no! Our protagonist is dead! Like really REALLY dead! See! Her body disintegrates to nothing! lol JK a literal deux ex machina brings her back." thing

Multiple people here did the analogy but Little Witch was: A. very meh. B. The only unique thing about it was that the heroine was a muggle who couldn't do shit up to the very end of the show besides use a magical tool, which doesn't seem likely in mary sue media.
 
I skimmed it too. Now that it's over I have to ask: why the fuck does Amity never completely dye her hair? It's not just her roots showing like at the start, it's whole sections of it undyed. Is she an autist like Luz or trying too hard to be quirky?
And to be even more specific, check the quote below.
 
All these girls that watched Sailor Moon growing up and went on to have some degree of a career in the animation industry (Rebecca Sugar, Dana Terrace, Noelle Stevenson et al) got all the wrong lessons from it.
Animation fans are the worst thing to happen to animation sadly. Some of them are genuinely talented and clearly have passion but they are more interested in preaching and imitating the worst and most surface elements of anime to western animation. That why so many people are moving over to anime now, because regardless about how you feel about the social stigma of it at the very least anime revels in some genuinely gruesome and based content and doesn’t give any craps about representation mainly. They still tell interesting stories and characters mainly and as a result more people are moving over to anime of other foreign animation to supply their cartoon needs.

I genuinely think we might see a second wave of weebism in the next few years, it’s not going to be pretty.
