Centaurworld got good for me around episode 3 because I finally understood its style of humor. I definitely enjoyed watching it. The plot is introduced in the first episode: Horse wants to find a way out of Centaurworld, but for the first few episodes it's not clear how she'll do that, so it wanders a bit more.

you just have to get past an incredibly obnoxious and offputting first episode and then the show is pretty solid from that point forward (I get why the first episode is the way that it is, but the pacing introducing everyone is just so crazy)

If you liked Adventure Time, you'll like Centaurworld. It's very similar in tone, blending weird goofy shenanigans in a magical world with some heavy dark stuff underneath.

So the show is better than the premise on Wikipedia makes it out to be then. Good to know, thanks Back on topic, do we know how long the three specials that make up the Owl House series finale are going to be each (I heard most if not all of them were double length at least)?

It says a lot about Odalia that she doesn’t know that Belos plans on killing every single witch, and even she won’t be safe. True to life and also horrifically realistic.

Now that she’s currently en route to the emperor I’m looking forward to potentially seeing Luz Vs Belos Round 2, though counting the specials we’ve still got 4 episodes left (7 technically since the last 3 are 44 minutes each)

Welp, Odalia is monster after all (her view on the situation is literally “gently caress you, got mine”) and unless they find some decent way of redeeming her before the series is over then I hope she at least gets what she deserves once Belos turns on her. Good on Alador for standing up for his kids though. Curious to learn more about the Collector as well since they appear to have the personality of a child and some sort of mental link with King Next time: Season 2 comes to a close as the Day of Unity begins and poo poo gets real Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:38 on May 21, 2022 |

Well so much for my theory that the hand of the free market would sway Odalia to the side of good. Kinda curious what was up with her weird ghost gem.

Either she was a lot nicer in her youth or the sex was incredible because otherwise I’m not sure what someone like Alador ever saw in that woman (also even if Odalia survives and actually does something good for once I’m not sure her family is ever going to forgive her for this)

TwoPair posted:It could be both! Also true, in the Eda flashback episode we did see the two of them hanging out on the steps of Hexside with another student I forget and they seemed to be having fun. Redemption is still possible I guess (Amphibia managed to successfully do it with Andrias after all) but it’s gonna take some work and we don’t have a whole lot of time left now. Belos absolutely needs to die however

My god that kiss made me want to tear up.  And that twist at the end genuinely got me. The set up for it was so good having Luz whisper her plan to Gus, and then the thing with Amity's dad happening immediately after, you almost forget until the reveal happens. It's so good I don't even really have the words

Otherwise it seems kind of stupid that Odalia is somehow going along with Belos's "kill everybody" plot when she is a subset of "everybody."

Otherwise it seems kind of stupid that Odalia is somehow going along with Belos's "kill everybody" plot when she is a subset of "everybody." She’s going along with it because she’s a greedy bitch who thinks she’ll be one of the “chosen” (despite Belos’ forces taking over her company back at the end of her first appearance), which admittedly is in keeping with what we know about her (“gently caress you, got mine” basically). Like I said, either they’re going to find some way of redeeming her (which doesn’t seem likely at this point) or she’ll be one of the first against the wall when the Day of Unity hits Also we saw in the same episode that she can use telepathy via the gem so I guess summoning that weird ghost Stand isn’t completely out of the realm of possibility And yeah, I missed “Luz” doing Hunter’s flash-step move as well.

Because she saw him as a means to attaining power, and maybe the sex was also good. Latest episode general spoilers Hooty only got one line, but it was still on point. Hoot hoot! Also, they were really hard up on time so it's probably nothing, but the cut away from Eda and Rainstorm (great nickname!) right before she got her mark made me a little suspicious of a ~*surprise twist*~ down the line. But at the same time I was blind-sided by the illusion swap, so I am guessing my twist detector is not properly calibrated

Yeah that makes sense, I assume Odalia was a spoiled child from a rich family that saw Alador as a useful tool and charmed her way into his good graces. Glad to see the latter has a backbone though and genuinely loves his kids even if it took a while for him to stand up for them. I’m guessing that Belos’ main agents at this point are Kikimora (only cares about getting ahead), Terra (she’s a psychopath), and Odalia for reasons already explained and I don’t see things ending well for any of them. Like I said, I’m looking forward to Luz Vs Belos Round 2 (especially now that the former has a lot more tricks at her disposal and hates his guts along with herself for inadvertently helping him). I kind of want to see Willow take on Terra at some point as well

I’m assuming the final battles are going to go something like this (provided the first 3 are still alive/on Belos’ side once the Day of Unity hits): Hunter Vs Kikimora Willow Vs Terra (possibly with Gus as backup) Amity (and likely the rest of her family) Vs Odalia Luz Vs Belos The other characters will likely help one of the above or be off doing their own thing. I am curious what’s gonna happen with the Collector though seeing as they appear to have some sort of vague mental link with King/possibly titans in general and a very childish personality. Since the season finale will kick off the Day of Unity as per the description I assume the final three episodes will basically be this show’s Weirdmageddon with Luz and those that remain banding together to fight back

I'm going to be the boring one and say that I hope the finale isn't all MCU laser beam fights between various pairings. Having a big Luz v. Belos fight would be good, but the rest of the world saving could be people using their words, too.

Yeah that’s kind of what I’m thinking (in King’s dream at the start of the previous episode they seemed almost lonely but in their other appearances they’re basically clowning around with Belos) I’m pretty confident Belos/Phillip is absolutely not going to be redeemed at this point though (it’s just a matter of whether he meets his end by one of the main cast, the Collector betraying him, or by his own hand somehow). I’m still hoping the human realm winds up getting involved with this somehow as I really want Camila to see her daughter in action, meet Amity and the others, and maybe kick some more rear end with her chancla Also I’m kind of curious what Luz’s palisman will inevitably hatch into (I’m guessing a bat or some kind of bird like the rest of the Clawthorne family) Larryb fucked around with this message at 15:07 on May 22, 2022 |

You know one thing I thought was interesting about Odalia is that she had no problem with Amity having a girlfriend. She probably wouldn't have a problem with Amity having a human girlfriend. She just didn't want Amity dating Luz, who is the Emperor's enemy and a wanted felon, which is reasonable on one level.

I don't know, I think the "human" part of the equation is the part she's hung up on more than anything else, as she was ready to kill Luz before she was an outlaw.
