GC13 and David discuss the Oscar and the Monsters arc from Summer Camp Island’s fifth season.
This time we have not one, but two retcons to consider. Maybe three. It would seem that Summer Camp Island owes its philosophy on worldbuilding more to Adventure Time, where that came much later in the game.
Not that any of that stops Summer Camp Island from being awesome. Stuart might disagree, but he’s just… Stuart.
Emperor Belos speaks for the Titan, or so he claims. Viewers of The Owl House will know that he’s lied before, so it’s only natural to wonder whether he’s lying now. But, is the lie that he can hear the Titan at all? Or is The Owl House’s current villain secretly the Titan?
Maybe. Or maybe Belos is just a guy and he wants people to believe he might be the Titan. The Owl House hasn’t given us much reason to trust him, so we’ll have keep an eye on new episodes for more hints.

GC13 and David discuss Anne Theft Auto and Breakout Star from Amphibia.
Well, Anne Theft Auto was a heartfelt episode forging a connection between Anne and her adoptive frog family. Who couldn’t love that? Once Anne got to reading about Bessie’s history, she couldn’t put the book down, and we couldn’t put this episode away either.
Then, of course, we got the acne episode, with a twist: people love it! Well, and the zits disappear in a day, but some things are too unbelievable, even in a cartoon about being transported to a frog world.
I’ve always loved the episode Root Beer Guy. When Adventure Time gets it right, it gets it really right. But while it’s a great episode and he’s a great character, Root Beer Guy is also Adventure Time’s weirdest tribute to the status quo. He may become captain of the Banana Guard, but Root Beer Guy is also killed off offscreen, only getting an on-screen death a season after the fact. What the heck, Adventure Time?
It’s alright though: that same episode brings him back to life. Root Beer Guy, now Dirt Beer Guy, resumes the old status quo living with Cherry Cream Soda and leaving the Banana Guard to its own devices. You couldn’t have brought a nicer guy back, Adventure Time.

GC13 and David discuss Covention from The Owl House.
No, it’s not the most fun title to pronounce, but it’s the first we see of Lilith and the Emperor’s Coven, and oh boy is that a good battle between sisters (even if it’s not the safest event to watch from the stands).
But whether you’re part of the Swag Coven or the Cat Coven (the Swag Cat Coven, perhaps?), the important thing is that you do your duty and join a coven. The Emperor demands it.
Cartoon Network only gave us premiers for two shows in January, but they gave us a LOT of premiers. Yes, Craig of the Creek premiered eight new episodes, and January also saw the series premier of We Baby Bears with twenty brand new episodes (and some very nice ratings).
And if you think that Cartoon Network didn’t premier many shows in January, just wait until next month… We might have to skip a month on the ratings report.

GC13 and David discuss the Susie and Her Sister arc from Summer Camp Island’s fifth season.
Susie started out so nice and happy. What went wrong? Perhaps she was never meant to live in the moors… Taking that immortality potion probably wasn’t a great idea though.
Well, at least Mildred got to live her dream of being a hot corn girl before she lost her family. Hopefully everything turns out alright for her in the end…
Season four of Craig of the Creek has begun in earnest, and we’ve already been introduced to the quest that’s going to tie it all together: the quest for Kenneth’s Cube, and the mysterious Heart of the Forest it unlocks. That’s the Craig of the Creek I know, with mysteries piled high.
JP said this quest could take all season, but if we finish this quest in season four then some shenanigans will have to be involved. Craig of the Creek has given us a mystery, and we can hope we don’t solve it in season four.

GC13 and David discuss The Domino Effect and Taking Charge from Amphibia.
So, we may not know why Anne’s phone battery was able to last so long, but at least we’ve finally found a source of power for it. Maybe in some later episode we’ll finally find out what Suspicion Island secretly was… Probably not a robot. Probably.
We may not have surprises, but we don’t need them either! And who do you think would win in a fight? Domino 2 or a Zapapede?
Hunter hasn’t joined the main cast of The Owl House just yet, but it’s clear he’s going to. As a member of the Emperor’s Coven, there’s a lot he can teach us—about magic, about the Emperor, and even about Eda.
The Owl House isn’t going to set us up just to let us down; Hunter is going to teach us something. Let’s wait and see what Hunter can tell us about the world of The Owl House.
