  1. Review of The Owl House series@thunderjack1246d

    For Saturday movie night this past weekend, we decided to skip Svengoolie as he was showing Godzilla, which we have seen way too many times, and pooled the house +1 (we have a couple of friends over for Saturday movie night on a regular, this time only one of whom was in attendance). My daughter, Little Miss, suggested The Owl House. I asked her where she learned about this series, and told me from a friend at school. Asked how her friend learned about it and Little Miss gave me a typical teenager non-informative response. I guess how her friends found out about it will remain one of those teenage mysteries, things I no longer understand (or is it allowed to understand) these days, being a parent. Needless to say, The Owl House was selected for the evening, and we watched the first five episodes of Season One, with a break for homemade ice cream midway through.

    The first two episodes focus on developing the main characters led by Luz (Sarah-Nicole Robles), the human teenage girl who doesn’t fit in at school; Eda (Wendie Malick) the Owl Lady, a bit of a mysterious witch with pointy ears, who is wanted by the law; and King (Alex Hirsch), who believes himself to be the King of Demons, and resembles a cat with a skull on his head. These first two episodes are critical in understanding the world that Luz finds herself in, how she ended up there, and why she chose to stay there while her mother believes she is at a three month summer camp to turn cool kids into squares, I mean, normal “think inside the box” kids.

    Starting with the third episode, we find there is a Magic School, and Luz makes some new friends, and a nemesis, kids her age who attend this magic school, Willow (Tati Gabrielle) who is adept at plant magic, Gus (Issac Brown) who runs the Human Appreciation Society (I think I got that right) and Amity (Mae Whitman), who is possessive of her position of Star Student.

    At this point going forward, there are several story arcs being set up, one dealing with Luz and her friends, and the Magic School, and another dealing with Eda’s backstory, her sister, Lilith, and why she is a wanted fugitive by the Emperor. Having watched only through episode five, I have no idea where all this series is going to go.

    Overall, though, for these first few episodes, I found the series to be well written with good voice performances and animation. The stories are fun and interesting, albeit a bit predictable, but hey, their target audience are kids and young adults, not an Old Goat like me. The world setting is also interesting, and a bit weird, but then it is supposed to be a bit weird.

    Fun show so far, and may be worth your checking out. It is on Disney+, which is where we watched it.

    Thanks for stopping by.

  2. [ESP/ENG] Crítica a THE OWL HOUSE (Temporada 2)/THE OWL HOUSE (Season 2) Review.@sangoro971487d

    ¡Hola, Comunidad de Hive! Después de haberles traido con anterioridad una reseña de la primera temporada de la serie animada THE OWL HOUSE (que pueden leer aquí: https://hive.blog/hive-166847/@sangoro97/esp-eng-critica-a-the-owl-house-temporada-1-the-owl-house-season-1-review), hoy les comparto brevemente mi opinión acerca de su segunda temporada, que concluyó recientemente.

    Continuando con lo visto al final de la primera temporada, aquí vemos una lucha más insistente por parte de Luz y sus amigos por descubrir qué hay detrás del plan de Belos para controlar la magia y derrotarlo. A lo largo de los 21 episodios de este nueva temporada, además de tener diferentes giros de tuerca que nos acercan cada vez más a la resolución del conflicto principal, vemos un desarrollo y descubrimiento mucho más maduro y complejo de los personajes, convirtiéndolos en alguien completamente diferentes a cómo nos los presentaron. Y esta evolución narrativa se ve acompañada de una mayor fluidez en la animación en cada uno de sus episodios, así como de un apartado visual cada vez más embellecido en sus diferentes aspectos.

    Después de tener un final bastante irónico y trágico para los personajes, ahora nos toca esperar la llegada de una tercera temporada que estará compuesta por 3 episodios especiales de 45 minutos cada uno; los cuales cerrarán la historia y, podemos estar seguros, que no nos defraudarán.

    Muchas gracias por leer. . Hello, Hive Community! After having previously brought you a review of the first season of THE OWL HOUSE animated series (which you can read here: https://hive.blog/hive-166847/@sangoro97/eng-eng-critique-a-the-owl-house-season-1-the-owl-house-season-1-review), today I briefly share with you my opinion about its second season, which concluded recently.

    Continuing on from what we saw at the end of the first season, here we see a more insistent struggle by Luz and her friends to discover what's behind Belos' plan to control magic and defeat him. Throughout the 21 episodes of this new season, in addition to having different twists and turns that bring us closer and closer to the resolution of the main conflict, we see a much more mature and complex development and discovery of the characters, turning them into someone completely different from how they were introduced to us. And this narrative evolution is accompanied by a greater fluidity in the animation in each of its episodes, as well as an increasingly embellished visual section in its different aspects.

    After having a rather ironic and tragic ending for the characters, now we have to wait for the arrival of a third season that will be composed of 3 special episodes of 45 minutes each; which will close the story and, we can be sure, that they will not disappoint us.

    Thank you very much for reading.

  3. [ESP/ENG] Crítica a THE OWL HOUSE: Temporada 1/ THE OWL HOUSE: SEASON 1 Review.@sangoro971570d

    The Owl House es una serie animada creada por Dana Terrace y transmitida por Disney Channel a partir del año 2020. La historia se centra en Luz Noceda, una chica adolescente muy enérgica que no consigue encajar en su entorno y que accidentalmente cruza un portal que la lleva a las Islas Hirvientes, una tierra mágica donde conoce a Eda, una rebelde y poderosa bruja de la que empezará a aprender magia para también convertirse en una bruja.

    Inicialmente no tenía mucho interés en ver esta serie, viendo uno o dos episodios de forma esporádica mientras buscaba qué ver en la televisión; pero por recomendación de una amiga, que es gran fan de la serie y que empezó a hablarme sobre las virtudes de la misma, decidí darle una oportunidad desde el comienzo, viendo su primera temporada.

    The Owl House puede parecer un poco ingenua en sus primeros episodios, mucho más dirigida a su público objetivo, uno infantil/juvenil; pero a medida que va avanzando su historia, te das cuenta de la evolución significativa que hay en sus personajes, tanto principales como secundarios, que vas conociendo cada vez más y le dan mayor trasfondo a la serie. También relacionado a su escritura, los guiones están muy bien pensados, siendo bastante emotivos y redondos, donde cada objeto o situación que es planteada al inicio del episodio tiene una repercusión o utilidad al final; además de siempre tener presente la idea de lo que significa para sus personajes el ser diferente o no encajar en determinado entorno.

    Otro elemento que disfruté bastante es el humor, que es bastante ácido e irreverente en ocasiones, recordándome a otras series que veía cuando era niño como Las Sombrías Aventuras de Billy y Mandy o Invasor Zim, que manejaban un humor más negro que el promedio; aunque en comparación con éstas, The Owl House resulta ser un poco más ligera.

    Y si hay algo que también hay que destacar en The Owl House es todo su apartado gráfico, teniendo una animación muy bien lograda y que destaca mucho más en las escenas con mayor acción, siendo un buen ejemplo los dos últimos episodios de la temporada. Así mismo, su paleta de colores y diseños de personajes y paisajes le da un aire sombrío, sin dejar de ser agradable.

    Personalmente disfruté mucho esta primera temporada de The Owl House, siendo bastante emotiva, ácida en su humor y con bastante gancho para el espectador, siendo una buena opción para ver si te gustan las historias fantásticas. Espero hacer una reseña de la segunda temporada próximamente.

    Esto fue todo por hoy. Gracias por leer.
    . . The Owl House is an animated series created by Dana Terrace and aired on Disney Channel starting in 2020. The story centers on Luz Noceda, an energetic teenage girl who fails to fit into her surroundings and accidentally crosses a portal that takes her to the Boiling Isles, a magical land where she meets Eda, a rebellious and powerful witch from whom she will start learning magic to also become a witch.

    Initially I didn't have much interest in watching this series, watching one or two episodes sporadically while looking for what to watch on TV; but on the recommendation of a friend, who is a big fan of the series and who started telling me about its virtues, I decided to give it a chance from the beginning, watching its first season.

    The Owl House may seem a bit naive in its first episodes, much more directed to its target audience, a child/youth one; but as the story progresses, you realize the significant evolution of its characters, both main and secondary, that you get to know more and more and give more background to the series. Also related to its writing, the scripts are very well thought out, being quite emotional and rounded, where each object or situation that is raised at the beginning of the episode has a repercussion or usefulness at the end; besides always keeping in mind the idea of what it means for its characters to be different or not to fit in a certain environment.

    Another element I quite enjoyed is the humor, which is quite acidic and irreverent at times, reminding me of other series I watched as a kid like The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy or Invader Zim, which handled a blacker than average humor; although compared to these, The Owl House turns out to be a bit lighter.

    And if there is something that should also be highlighted in The Owl House is its graphics, with a very well done animation that stands out much more in the scenes with more action, being a good example the last two episodes of the season. Likewise, its color palette and character and landscape designs give it a somber air, without ceasing to be pleasant.

    Personally I really enjoyed this first season of The Owl House, being quite emotional, acidic in its humor and with quite a hook for the viewer, being a good choice to watch if you like fantastic stories. I hope to do a review of the second season soon.

    That's all for today. Thanks for reading.
