-I do get the feeling from some episodes that the show staff had to smash two episode ideas into one due to them getting the memo that after this season, they would get only three more TV specials. For example, "Through The Looking Glass Ruins" feels like an episode where they had to merge a Gus-centered episode and a Lumity-centered episode because otherwise, they could not have gotten those plots into the second season in time. In general, the biggest loss I felt from Season 2 was that some secondary characters had to take a step back out of the limelight (like Gus and Willow) and that we got less Hexside episodes. To be fair, they did have episodes focused on Gus and Willow and we did see a lot of character development for those two, especially Willow. Also the focus on Hexside in the first series was at the behest of Disney and not Dana IIRC. That's interesting. I didn't know that about the whole Hexside thing. To be fair, compared to when I watched My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, I am not participating much in any of the communities related to Amphibia / The Owl House (I guess mostly because the canon stuff is already so good that I don't have much interest in reading fanfics, fan art, fan videos etc.) so I am not up-to-date regarding some behind the scenes stuff on that show. I kinda hope that after the show has concluded, Dana might share what the show would have been like in Season 2 if she would have gotten a full Season 3 to work with....unless she already disclosed that and I just have not heard of it. |

I'm gonna hijack the thread for one second Speaking after the finale, why do I feel the most relatable character is Hunter? Seriously his Season 2 Arch was amazing, and the man has the best comedic timing (Anyone who doubts me, rewatch The Collector talking to them, his facial expressions and silence is EVERYTHING) Edit Also need to ask one very simple hilarious question about The Collector {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Am I the only one who basically screamed What The f*** when he moved the moon with just a flick? Edit Edit: I'm so glad to have found TOH Community. Between the reactors I call The Four Stallions (Not So Average Fangirl, Ed Da Wiz, Zamber and Morgan Terry) and the people I've talked to...feels good being apart of a community again |

Huh, I actually know all of those reactors you mentioned though mostly because of the "Youtubers React..." videos where someone compiled several reactions of reactors to various scenes from The Owl House. 
Kinda hope the vids of them (as well as some other reactors) stay online and don't get copyright struck for a while because I am kinda in a mood to watch those reaction videos alongside my eventual rewatches of Amphibia / TOH because the compilations I saw made me so happy. Haven't watched any blind reactions or reactions in general since MLP ended so I would not mind going through that door again.
Just for your information: the four stallions also did reactions to Amphibia since you are currently watching that as well 
Regarding the Collector, I have had a thought for quite a bit (in regards to him and King): {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} What if the reason that titan is now serving as the soil for the Boiling Isles is that he died by using all of his powers to imprison the Collector? I hope that wouldn't mean that we would have to look towards a heroic King sacrifice at the end of the show to save everyone. 
Also...I wonder whether Guster (or whatever it is called) has now become a thing since I somehow get the feeling that we might look at Gus/Hunter possibly becoming an item? Granted, that thought only occurred to me after seeing the final shot of the season finale with them supporting each other, but...I somehow have a feeling.

No, you were not. The Collector moving the moon with a single swipe of the finger was awesome and one of the most memorable scenes of the entire series. |

Really wondering about how he will fare as (probably) the villain in the 3 TV specials.
We are probably in for some very twisted "games" and I have no idea and I don't know if I should be excited or scared to find out. |

Honestly I've been getting way more Hunter / Gus vibes than Hunter / Willow or Willow / Gus vibes this whole season, though I don't really think any of the three's actually going to happen.
Speaking of Hunter, I'm actually really curious what he'll be like on a rewatch. A lot of his early stuff I was really disliking him, mostly since he kind of felt like a poorly set up new antagonist it kind of felt like they were pretending was there the whole time and like he was really just a clumsy replacement for Lilith (who wasn't all that interesting in season 1 anyway, though in season 2 she's probably one of my favorite characters), but as the season's gone along he's very much come into his own and had a lot of great stuff. I am a little unsure what his actual role in the endgame is going to end up being but am really curious to see what becomes of him.

Given that goop that fell on him during their flight, somehow I have a feeling that we are in for something similar with Hunter/Belos as with Lena/Magica in 2017 Ducktales when we return to the show in the first TV special. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}
Also kinda have the feeling that this will be the way that will allow them to return to the Boiling Isles since Belos/Philip already made it there once and they could use his knowledge to create a connection from Earth to the Boiling Isles. |

Wonder if we're ever going to get to see Luz and Amity fully commit to dressing up and travelling together.

Wait I just realized this
Do we see the current teenagers from Labrynth Runners being any kind of effect or are they throwaway? Because I honestly thought they were being set up for something

I don't know and that is actually also a reason why I am upset about the shortened schedule.
Would've loved to have seen at least one filler episode with a few stories about the Hexside students, especially the Scara/Viney pairing (and I also would not have minded Boscha getting a redemption).
