>>116087265That's super aside my point. Amphibia would've been double boring if the, for the sake of argument, interesting world of monsters was pushed aside for school drama. Also, Amphibia's writing was just flat out better; conceptually, Owl house should be right up my alley but the writing was just so shit and story so doo doo that Amphibia takes the cake for the better show. I think one of the biggest issues was how the show felted bloated: Too many main characters with things the show felt the need to explore, half of those characters being split, making it impossible to merge them, essentially making episodes that include Luz and school friends have Eda and King do the B plot alone. And this dynamic kinda sucked. Eda, Luz and King was good, proven by all the episodes in which that's the focus, but Eda and King are lackluster alone and Luz's friends are so bland she may as well be alone. Also, who cares whether a show has more episodic or overarching plot driven episodes? It hardly did Owl House any favors. Episodic filler episodes are great for showing character chemistry and subtle world building.
All these things is why episode 2 was so much better than the rest. We got a tight character drama in an episodic format. Focused on the 3 main characters. Focused on the interesting aspects of the world. The episode was nice and lean, the B plot directly followed the A plot that they were the same story. Most of the episodes are just noise.
