The Owl House

So, somehow, I missed reviewing this alongside the first episodes of "Big City Greens" and "Amphibia". Which is weird, as I enjoy this show the most out of all of them.

It has a dark magic element with a fair amount of gruesome imagery. The art syle is really reminiscent of that of "Star vs." except with more lines in the backgrounds and more detail in the character models.

Of course, none of this is super detailed, but it's more so than "She-Ra" on Netflix. There is a large over arching plot that, in 12 episodes, has only been hinted at, and it's not even about the main character, Luz. Nothing about how she's the one to save The Boiling Isles or some chosen one nonsense (Which is actually deconstructed in about episode 3).

The hinted-at-history is about Eda the Owl Lady (Wendie Malick, and it kills me that more people were quick to recognize her from "Bojack Horseman" than from "Fillmore!"), and it's really interesting so far. It's such a slow burn that it seems rather meandering for now. As the show already has a second season planned, it will make more sense in hindsight.

    It's carried by Lupita, because the narrative doesn't have the strongest punch to really get across its themes.
