Oh yeah, The Ghost and Molly McGee is really great. It's obviously not as deep as some other shows, like The Owl House, but it's fully of happy feel good vibes, and lots of good jokes. They're few and far between, but the emotional beats they do have are really good, too; the show made me cry a couple times! As for The Owl House, though, I don't know, I don't think the Coven Sigils inherently had anything to do with freedom, rather, they existed to make sure the Emperor's Coven was much more powerful than the average witch. After entering into a coven, a regular witch is confined to a single type of magic, while those in the Emperor's Coven still have access to all magics. Honestly, I wouldn't even know the ending was rushed if I hadn't been told it was. I thought it was really well paced, actually. I kinda dig the format it had, with the 3 long episodes at the end instead of the regular layout. Of course, you wouldn't have seen me complaining if there were more episodes, but I do think it was fine as is.

The only reason I knew about the ending having to be rushed is because I got to the end of season 2 I think, saw no more episodes, had a look online and saw the news that the show had to be cancelled. (Or maybe that was rumors because I didn't know how to fact check it). So anyways I went on thinking it wasn't getting anymore (Deep sadness) and then at some point in the magical future, I saw a clip of Gus washing dishes with magic and low and behold the new episodes were coming out. My mind auto came to the conclusion it has to be rushed to be finished. It was still great though. Don't worry about the freedom VS Linearity thing, I like to connect things based on even the smallest of connections. Zebras are evil.

I knew about it, because a large portion of The Owl House fanbase online won't shut up about it. :p If the show did get a regular third season, my guess is the first 10 episodes or so would've taken place in the human realm, and the latter 10 would've taken place on the Boiling Isles. Tbh, I'm actually a little split about this idea. A little while ago, I was talking with Captain K Mart about how... Well, spoiler warning. I can't say for what without kind of spoiling what for, though. :p [spoiler]Amphibia[/spoiler] Did the same thing. At the end of season 2, a portion of the cast got warped away to the human world, and then they were there for half a season trying to find a way back, and then the latter half of the season took place back in the other world. And, like, it was fine, right? Like, I didn't hate it or anything. But, it also radically changed the tone of the show, and swapped out practically the entire supporting cast because, of course, the entire supporting cast was back in the other world. Additionally, The Owl House spending so little time in the human world made it more believable that this was [i]our[/i] world. In that other show, for instance, when they got back to the human world, there were a bunch of wacky adventures going on. It felt, y'know, like a cartoon. Which was fine, but even though they were trapped in the human world, it didn't feel like they were trapped in [i]our[/i] world, y'know? With The Owl House, though, it very much did. Of course, while the supporting cast being swapped out is unavoidable in this scenario, it's totally possible that The Owl House could be written in a way that the human realm still feels like our world, even if they spent more time there, and of course an exploration of Luz's depression would've been fun, so again, I'm not opposed to the idea, but I also like it the way it is. That said, it almost certainly was rushed, and honestly that's really impressive. Like, the ending was still really really good, and that they did that while being rushed to throw out an ending asap? That takes skill! [quote]Zebras are evil.[/quote] *Giraffes.

Yeah I agree that what we got was something that felt consistent with the rest of the show despite what they had to do. We will likely not know what it was that was cut but that's fine. (We just need to invent the device to find the exactly right reality where everything was the same but was never cancelled) I still remember the episode Hooty's Moving Hassle, which is obviously a play on words to a certain film, which kind of just filled me with confidence that this show was written by people who know greatness. It is definitely something on my rewatch list at some point, if only to appreciate the best parts more and come to a... Better understanding of the beginning again. Belos might even be more evil than Horses now that I think about it.
