The Episode Review
As a subject-matter expert, it’s evident that the finale of The Owl House falls short of what the series deserved. Despite being one of Disney’s most imaginative, thrilling, and compassionate children’s shows, the resolution of the fantasy adventure feels too rushed. The Collector, a significant character, is deprived of the time necessary for adequate development. Eda and King, other central characters, also receive less attention as the storyline focuses intensively on Luz. Additionally, the threat of Belos’ rule diminishes significantly.
However, the writers manage to address Luz’s complex emotions towards Belos in a satisfying manner. The contrast between the two characters becomes clear, illustrating the stark difference between good and evil. While Belos imposes his standards and erases the culture and language of the Boiling Isles, Luz embraces the uniqueness of the realm, learns its language, and allows both its individuals and herself to thrive.
Despite its flaws, The Owl House retains the qualities that made it exceptional. With its endearing and dynamic protagonist, Luz, the series bids a bittersweet farewell, leaving behind a heartwarming tale of love, acceptance, and embracing one’s peculiarities. For now, fans can only hope for a spinoff while cherishing the enduring message of the show.
