My, that certainly was some Infinity Train! I also had the sense that there'd been several days passage of time during Grace's fugue state.Simon's hair hadn't grown, he'd just stopped tying it up--but there'd been at least enough time for the Apex kids to have learned the rituals of the New Order.

Is Amity's drive to join the Emperor's Coven her own, or is it something she's doing because of parental pressure? In either case, why aren't the twins in consideration for it? They seem extremely magically competent as well as ruthless.

Pakled posted:Kinda-sorta. We see the distant future of the Candy Kingdom, but not PB herself. There was a cameo of a savage-looking bearded thing that appeared to be Simon after completely losing himself to the crown, but the series finale revealed that was actually Gunter. And I don't think we got any clue of what became of Marceline in that episode. I was assuming the crystallized PB we saw behind PepBut wasn't a statue.

SlothfulCobra posted:I just realized that one of the implications of Anne's superpower is that her hair has been generating its own twigs and leaves. Sashachat: What we've seen of her, both in flashbacks and in the plot, doesn't make me think Sasha's any better at being a leader. No one is inspired by her example, at least not for very long. But she's a hell of a staff officer, though. Sasha makes poo poo happen. Her need for control is best served in the long term by having someone else to be the focus of everyone's trust.

icantfindaname posted:The thing about Hanna-Barbera is that although they weren’t quite as terrible as their reputation, their corpus is certainly not good, not even the very best shows in it. And beyond that is an even bigger problem, which is that the cultural context of the 60s middle American prime time media culture is so alienated from the present that when you watch any of those shows more than anything you get a sense of just incredible strangeness, on top of the cardboard-flavored mediocrity of all of them The people who made them knew they weren't good--that's why they have laugh tracks built into them.

Ghost Leviathan posted:A few more thoughts about things about Eda that possibly make more sense now: Eda's mom being a member of the Beastmaster Coven might explain why Eda is pretty relaxed around creatures that freak out even Boiling Isles natives (like humans!) when her mother has likely been taming all kinds of scary and dangerous ones all her life. And speaking of- her mother's struggles with finding a cure for the curse might have contributed to, or at least cemented, Eda's dislike of the Coven system, as her mother wasn't able to take up healing magic or potions herself well enough to understand their abilities and limitations, leading her to keep falling for a succession of quacks and grifters. I don't think Eda's got anything against specialists, but easy to figure that she thinks a witch can and should dabble, and understanding multiple types of magic is a great benefit even if you only really use one. Counterpoint: Gwendolyn didn't pledge a coven until after Eda was cursed.

xeria posted:Owl house 2x05 - I kinda wish that the storylines had been two separate episodes rather than mashed into one. Gus' half pulled back the curtain some on how illusion magic is perceived in the realm and it could've been nice to let that breathe as well as actually see things like Willow getting hurt fending off pixies. And in the Luz/Amity/Human-Mystery half, it almost felt like we'd skipped an episode - Gus and Edric and Emira's reactions to Luz re: Amity read like she'd already processed what happened in 2x02 enough for them to all be very aware that she has a big ol' crush on Amity now. Each of those could've been an A-plot of an episode with a much lower stakes B-plot, like season 1's library episode paired with "Eda and King babysit bat kids". NGL, that's a lot of episode crammed into that episode. I'm having a hard time faulting it, though. NOW KISS HER BACK, YOU MEATHEAD

xeria posted:Yeah, Ed/Em realizing pretty quickly what's going on was fine in a vacuum - they're around Amity enough as siblings to have at a minimum figured out Amity's crush a while ago - but Gus seemingly ALSO knowing what's going on and coming off like they had conversations off-screen about Luz's feelings re: Amity is where I really felt like we could've seen some of that play out on-screen instead of just referred to. Gus I think is easily rationalizable, since Willow knew from the moment it started happening. Seriously go back and look at Willow's face in Wing it Like Witches. She knows. And I can't imagine her keeping secrets from Gus.

There's the added complication of AAAAAGH CREEPY HAND DRAGON. The pop culture reference I wasn't expecting was the Palisman hutch being a nod to the wood beast challenge scene from the 1980 Flash Gordon, of all things.

I think Amphibia kind of squandered its Gravity Falls crossover in a gimmick episode, because now we're not having one of the agents showing up to investigate the reports of talking frogs be 23-year old Dipper Pines.

TV Zombie posted:Did anyone like masters of the universe revelations? I thought I’d enjoy it due to nostalgia but even with knowing that it is part 1, the ending kinda soured me in a couple of ways in Lynn’s quick change of character ( though that may be addressed in part 2) and did no one really not see Skeltor and think to stop him? It was... fine, I guess? The original He-Man was admittedly a little after my time, so I experienced neither the highs of finding Easter eggs nor the lows of my expectations being subverted.
