The Owl House/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Anvilicious: "Conformity is bad! Being a quirky free spirit is good!"
 * Author Filibuster: Dana Terrace has, in fact, admitted she intended Amity and Luz's relationship from the start, claiming she wanted the show to have a message of tolerance and normalizing of LGBT relationships, also noting she hoped the Disney label would ensure the message was seen by a wide audience. Simply viewing the episodes, one can see that none of the characters seem to view it as abnormal; Eda, for example, seems more confused by the fact that Luz can't garner the courage to ask Amity out than the fact that Luz wants to ask Amity out.
 * The Big Bad is a fundamentalist extremist, Well-Intentioned Extremist, Hypocrite, and a bigot... Gee, wonder how Disney could have thought that up...
 * Base Breaker: King. Fans are pretty split on if his antics and voice make him hilarious and adorable or just plain annoying.
 * Is Lilith worthy of redemption for, or is she an irredeemable monster who crossed the point of no return? It does help her side, however, that.
 * Cry for the Devil: More so pathetic than sad, as these villains brought their fates on themselves:
 * There is something tragic about the fact that . This doesn't justify any of his actions, as Luz points out defiantly during "King's Tide," but . Hunter, despite everything, is horrified when.
 * Kikimora is a backstabbing opportunistic witch and a Dirty Coward. Luz feels bad for her when she has to choose between her family disowning her or Belos executing her for disobedience, and in the season 2 finale, . King reaches out to her when hearing her mutter about how.
 * In "King's Tide", anyone who first lays eyes on knows that they are bad news. . Yet, as
 * Draco in Leather Pants: In I Was a Teenage Abomination, a lot of Amity's fans felt that she was unfairly demonized by the writers because she was rightly upset about Willow cheating on her Abomination project. She did have every right to be upset, but those fans often ignore the fact that she was A-OK with letting Luz get dissected alive by the principal out of spite, which she obviously had no right to do so. Luz herself lampshades this in the next episode, apologizing to Amity for cheating but pointing out that Principal Bump nearly dissected her.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Tiny Nose, whose status as a funny little character that constantly spouts hilarious conspiracy theories won over plenty of fans. Her adorable speech impediment also helps, and she's voiced by Dana Terrace.
 * Fan-Preferred Couple:
 * Luz and Amity are an Official Couple and fans don't object, but many of them would like to see Hunter and Willow be the same. There is, actually, quite a few hints of this in the show, and has become Fanfic Fuel for the series.
 * Some between Eda and Camilla too, as this fanmade comic/animatic shows.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: King claims in his debut episode that he's an evil overlord trapped in a "cute" body, while talking to a rubber duck. Eda hasn't believed it in ages, and Luz is more open-minded but repeatedly demonstrates, with squeeing, that King is too cute to be evil. In "Echoes of the Past," King himself realizes . Close to the end of the season,.
 * Heartbreaking in Hindsight:
 * Luz becomes thrilled when Eda accepts her offer to become an apprentice and stay for summer break, rather than go to summer camp. She lies to her mom via text. She wakes up nearly the next morning looking for witch clothes. Then.
 * Eda tells Luz that the reason they stole a paper crown from the Warden was to make King happy because she and King are the only family that each has. This leads to a lot of moments where we find out why Eda is estranged from her family, including that her own sister is hunting her down to make her join the Emperor's Coven. Then of course King has a breakdown when he learns the truth about his origins in season two; that is, that.
 * Eda saves Lilith from a spider monster during "Sense and Sensitivity", jokingly saying that she's the only one allowed to kick her big sister's butt. Then the season one finale happens, where Eda fights Lilith more seriously to rescue Luz, and comes close to.
 * Luz finds a kindred spirit Philip Wittenbane when reading his journals, as another human that explored the Boiling Isles. She affectionately tends for the Echo Mouse that can play back his journal entries. Then she.
 * Heartwarming in Hindsight: In "Eclipse Lake," Amity attempts to reason with Hunter that if Belos truly loved him, Belos wouldn't execute him for failure. It doesn't work, and she laments that Luz is better at this sort of thing. In "Labyrinth Runners", Amity shows no hesitation in working with Hunter when . She has a visible look of pride and relief when Hunter comes clean to everyone.
 * I Knew It!: Many fans had theorized that
 * Inferred Holocaust: Both the season one finale and "Hollow Mind" show the extent of how far Belos's Wild Magic campaign has hurt witches. Many have been petrified, which is a final death.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Hunter, the Golden Guard. He makes a a bad first impression on Luz and Eda by threatening to boil them alive and kill King unless they do the Emperor's bidding on their behalf. Luz finds out later that he's a witch without powers, and that wild magic users wiped out his family. What's more, he's worried about his uncle dying and only surviving by eating Palisman, but Belos will lob a fireball at him if Hunter even suggests finding alternative remedies. She describes him to Eda as a "bad sad boy", much to his chagrin. Hunter then goes from Jerkass to a straight-up Woobie on learning that . Then Luz, who has been his enemy for most of the season, selflessly . He spends most of "King's Tide" running on guilt that Luz made such a sacrifice when they weren't even friends.
 * Moral Event Horizon:
 * Let's start with the Big Bad, Emperor Belos, who has a lot of potential candidates for this:
 * Sentencing Eda to irreversible petrification (as if to display her like some trophy) after promising Lilith he intended to cure her was bad enough. To make this worse, he.
 * Then comes "Hollow Mind" where we discover.
 * And of course,
 * Worst of all, in season 3,
 * Way back in "Witches before Wizards," Adeghast crosses this by kidnapping Luz as bait for Eda, all to get rid of a rival potion seller, and proceeding to strangle her as a bound Eda and King beg for Luz to fight it. And to make matters worse, he did it by using her Chosen One fantasies against her, making her think that she was the hero of the Boiling Isles. No one mourns when he's reduced to a tiny cephalopod and Eda swallows him; Luz just seems mildly grossed out by the sudden death.
 * Odalia Blight had already proven herself a wicked woman in "Escaping Expulsion" where she was more than willing to kill Luz as part of a product demonstration of all things.
 * Kikimora had gained the reputation of a cowardly little creep long before she did anything that qualified for this Trope, but her plotting to have the Golden Guard killed out of nothing but petty jealousy sent her firmly on the road to damnation.
 * Most Wonderful Sound: Hooty's voice is this for two different reasons: for his fans, his high, squeaky voice is hilarious while for his detractors, his frequently-heard "-SHEESH!" specifically is a joy to hear because it usually follows him being hurt or annoyed.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: This is an unfortunate side effect of season three being reduced to three specials and previously planned episodes being hinted at in the prologue, though we do see some snippets of the kids' adventures :
 * Jacob manages to pinpoint accurately that.
 * Belos spends.
 * Ugly Cute:
 * The Bat Queen's nestlings are kind of adorable, if a little... hyperactive.
 * King is lovable, despite wearing a skull over his face.
 * Word of Gay: See Author Filibuster above.
 * Word of God: Who is the older twin, Emira or Edric? According to a National Siblings Day Instagram post by Disney Television Animation, it's Emira.
