The Owl House Season 2 Finale Is Going To Change Everything

thegamer.com:

The Owl House Season 2 is coming to an end this weekend. King’s Tide will usher in the Day of Unity as Luz, Amity, Eda, King, and so many other characters go up against Emperor Belos in order to save The Boiling Isles from ruin. I don’t think any of us are ready.

Each episode this season has felt essential to the overarching narrative, building upon character arcs and major beats as we approach an epic conclusion. The show’s unexpected cancellation likely meant creator Dana Terrace and the rest of the crew were forced to transform their original story into a shorter, more truncated tale without the time it truly deserves to shine.

Given the myriad compromises involved with bringing this vision to life I’m surprised at both how emotionally resonant and thematically coherent it has managed to be. Granted, certain moments have been brushed aside or covered in a fraction of the time out of necessity, but the fandom has formed bonds with these characters and this universe in ways that few shows in Disney Channel’s history have accomplished. Not that the House of Mouse cares, despite sharing Lumity clips on social media like the biggest stans ever.

The Owl House reaching the finish line in the same timeframe as Amphibia feels poetic, with both following the journey of young girls discovering a new world while simultaneously piecing together a clearer picture of who they want to be. Viewers can watch these shows and see themselves in so much of who they seek to depict and what they want to say, and there’s a cultural power in that creative expression that cannot be understated.

As the second season draws to a close it is rather sobering to look back on
