I can’t be the only one to have seen this so many times: characters who seem nice, the main character thinks are evil, but really are nice. Well that’s not what Amphibia did with A Night at the Inn: those nice-seeming characters are definitely evil, just like you’d expect. But Amphibia likes to have its fun, so A Night at the Inn toys with us first.
After its cards are on the table though… Well, never let it be said that Amphibia doesn’t give satisfying endings. Vengeance, thy name is Anne.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Understanding Willow from The Owl House.
Remember, when your friend falls ill at school, it’s important that you take them straight home without going to the school nurse at all—the school nurse probably isn’t a criminal willing to perform illegal medical procedures.
Also, consider this a reminder that forming parasocial relationships isn’t healthy. If you have to turn yourself into an open source intelligence analyst to compile information about a celebrity, they might want to keep their private life private.
Any Sport in a Storm had a lot going on for it—The Owl House was eager to give Hunter a chance to go good. But were you paying attention to Boscha when she stopped by the Azura Book Club booth at the club fair? She’s apparently such a fan she can read with her eyes closed. Will The Owl House ever cease to amaze us?
Except if you believe that… Let’s just say Boscha makes it clear she’s not a fan. The Owl House may make fools of us yet, but there’s another way she might be so familiar with the series, one that makes perfect sense.

GC13 and David discuss Really Small Problems from The Owl House.
In a world where wild houseflies are intelligent enough to serve as steeds and follow complex instructions involving not eating food, it’s probably a good thing their hairs are so fine, even on a very small scale.
It just gets weirder where it’s also a world where someone would rather add an unpaid snack seller to the staff than cash in the largest bounty the nation has ever seen. It’s a strange world.
The Diamonds are the strongest characters in Steven Universe. While initially all four had damaging, devastating powers, each would have a change of heart that left them with much more passive, restoring powers. Pink Diamond was the first, going so far as to change her very self and giving birth to our title character: Steven Universe.
She wasn’t the last though: Steven was able to change the other Diamonds’ minds, and leave them with a commitment to leaving the universe a better place. Vote Zircon!

GC13 and Soren discuss The First Day from The Owl House.
That’s right, we’re back to The Owl House! It’s Luz’s first day in a magical school. With a hat that can sort– we mean choose your coven track? Well, at least it’s not a boarding school…
How much foreshadowing do you see in season one? How many callbacks? There are a lot of bread crumbs left in The Owl House to follow, even if they can be rather subtle at times.
Did you notice how all Cartoon Network has these days are quiet months? Well, June 2022 was another one of those. Still, we got premiers for Total Dramarama and Victor and Valentino, as well as a network premier for the movie Tom and Jerry: Cowboy Up!
Plus, they even slipped out the ratings for a Victor and Valentino re-run on Friday. We’ll take it!

GC13 and David discuss A Night at the Inn and Wally and Anne from Amphibia.
So it’s another episode with cannibal frogs in one season. What are the odds? Probably a lot better than someone being careless enough to store vinegar right next to baking soda with Anne around—that’s a choice they’re going to regret.
Plus, Wally and Anne have finally bonded. Anne’s come a long way in her journey since her stay in Wartwood first began, and it’s nice to hear her start learning from the master of not caring what anyone thinks.
The last episode of The Owl House’s second season left everyone on the Boiling Isles in a precarious situation: trapped with the Collector, a god with all the empathy of a small child, excited to finally be let out to play with his toys. Luz and her friends are trapped on Earth, without any way to get back.
So, who can stop the Collector now? There’s no way The Owl House will end on such a sad note, so someone has to save the day (is Craig available?). There are probably a lot of characters who could do the trick, if only they were allowed to cross over to The Owl House, but there are also three characters you’d probably never have thought of who could do the trick too…

GC13 and David discuss Snow Day and Cracking Mrs. Croaker from Amphibia.
Snow Day loads up Chekhov’s Gun with some sleight of hand, but we’re not mad: those pictures Anne and Sprig took were too darling. Plus, the hibernation episode wasn’t anything like Survival of the Idiots, so that has to count for something.
Plus, Sprig is a popular boy now (boy now, boy now). It’s just too bad Mrs. Croaker doesn’t think so. Now Sprig has to do something DRASTIC.
And while the cicadas may sound nice for a little bit, living with them does start to grate on your ears after a while…
