The Owl House

[Jcogginsa]

I looked, but couldn't find a thread for this excellent Disney cartoon, so I decided to make one for myself.

The show follows Luz Noceda, a 14 year old girl who one day stumbles onto the boiling isles, a realm full of magic and demons, where she becomes the apprentice of the strongest (and most wanted) witch on the island, the Owl Lady Eda, who lives with the demon King (voiced by Alex Hirsch).

If I had to describe the show in a single sentence, it would be "Isekai by way of Gravity Falls". Which makes sense, because it's creator used to work on Gravity Falls.

You may have seen Owl House blow up on Social media yesterday, as it's newest episode confirmed that two of the lead characters are LGBT, the first characters to be so in a Disney show. To be more specific, Luz is bi, and her love interest is another girl. This episode also had an absolutely stellar dance/battle sequence.

I love this show, and although I have nothing against LGBT pairings it's kinda sad it's only after that for this show to "blow up" on social media - people should have been watching this all along. But it was a good episode and the dance/fight was cute and awesome.

And technically the show didn't confirm that Luz herself is bi, girls can get away with dancing with girls and it just be a friend thing - although the way media goes she probably will be confirmed that way. Amity was the one really confirmed to be either bi or lesbian that episode. Although I kind of wasn't surprised since she's blushed around Luz before.

Anyways I love this show and hope more people are watching.

The Creator, Dana Terrace, confirmed it online after the episode. And Luz has already been heavily implied to be bi.

But anyway, who is your favorite character? Mine is Amity. I'm a sucker for her archetype

Ah - I never follow show news online. If it's not shown in the episode or mentioned here I just don't know it (I avoid social media like a plague). Am also curious when she was "heavily" implied to be bi on the show, because either I'm just dense on these issues/examples (which isn't all that unlikely) or it wasn't that heavily.

Favorite character is a toughie, Eda, Luz, and King are all so hilarious and well written and voiced I could watch any one of them for hours.

I'm assuming you mean first LGBT lead character in an animated show, as Andi Mack had a gay main character and Ducktales had two gay dads in an episode (also Launchpad is pan, but that's not QUITE spelled out in the show.)

1. She's openly admired hot guys, and once said this line "I have a new crush, and her name is education"
2. Of those three, my fave is Eda XD

Disney animated show, Nickelodeon went there first with Legend of Korra, although that felt like it came out of nowhere, unlike here where it feels a lot more natural.

1. See, the education line is not heavy. That is damn subtle!
2. My favorite Eda moments are when she's with her sister, don't know why but the family dynamics between them are awesome. But solo Eda is just great. I also like the actress who voices her, I've seen her on a few shows and she's always a standout!

I definitely agree with this sentiment, the show is genuinely good.

And technically the show didn't confirm that Luz herself is bi, girls can get away with dancing with girls and it just be a friend thing - although the way media goes she probably will be confirmed that way. Amity was the one really confirmed to be either bi or lesbian that episode. Although I kind of wasn't surprised since she's blushed around Luz before.

While I'm sure that the girls will get together, it'd be interesting if Luz was just quirky and Amity was misreading her...but I feel that would be a bit too complex. I've had plenty of moments like that growing up, especially as a person of LGBT orientation... That said, i'm sure that things will be a bit more easily wrapped in a bow.

Disney animated show, Nickelodeon went there first with Legend of Korra, although that felt like it came out of nowhere, unlike here where it feels a lot more natural.

Yeah...Korra was out of nowhere (as in she barely even interacted with Asami, yet I'm supposed to believe they have deep feelings for each other by the end of the series.) Granted they have the fact that Korra sent Asami letters over Bolin and Mako in that same season, but when they didn't really interact before hand it fell flat to me. I suppose I'll give it credit where credit is due for being one of the first same sex couples in western animation, but it's more like "sure".

Back to this show, when it comes to Amity, I hope they aren't just going to sweep her treatment of Willow under the rug and simply blame her parents and friends for her behavior. In the episode "Understanding Willow" there's something mentioned that Amity just let her friends pick on Willow for years, but when we first meet the characters Amity was picking on Willow with no one but the two of them (and a hidden Luz) around...

Anyone see the new episode?

I liked that Amity stood up for Willow finally, and that Willow is having a better time now with *most* of her school.

[Jcogginsa]

Also, Luz no longer has nerd arms XD

Does this show premiere on Disney+? I finally cut the cord, so I'm hoping I can still see it despite no longer getting the Disney channels.

Really loved this show last season, and that ending was crazy! Looking forward to watching this series again.

No, but when the season ends it'll get added to D+

Alright, so it'll just take me a longer to get to see it then. Will be avoiding spoilers as best I can then!
