Is Alador Blight Still a Bad Parent? (The Owl House Video Essay) (Sequel Video)

This is you throwing and this is you catching that's a wonderful mime job I guess you're good at everything oh no 2.0 I have unfinished business with you two I hope you're not kings he needs it to play catch hello. I'm Kitty Monk, I'm here to talk to you about the owl

house

or more specifically the Aladdar II Electric Boogaloo outdoor game and I'm sorry this

video

and the next one sounds a little weird. I had to record it in a classroom. in all places since this is moving week and my dorm was very noisy. Yeah, hell, who was the last

video

I was able to record in my bedroom until at least August?

It's ironic considering Glossaryck was the last video I was able to record in my basement. I hear a weird ticking sound, I think it's a clock, sorry I can't control it, so Owl House season 2b is in full swing and I have yet to make a video about how it's really good, seriously. I appreciated what they did with the characters, especially Kiki. Unfortunately, yes, what do I get so you can live? It's a great shame that the pillow was put over their heads, so soon, fortunately, they will also join the ranks of other programs. who have succumbed to the tall poppy syndrome like the final train of infinite space and wander there.

I guess some of you have been wondering, Holy Titan, why hasn't Kitty made a single video about this yet? Well, to be honest, I don't want my videos to end up being wrong a couple of weeks later and yes, I've seen the comments you guys post on my other videos, especially Emperor Bellows. Honestly, that was just a joke. I told them I read all the comments I get. It's the only way to improve. It is not a joke. I was going to do a video on Philip Whitabane after the time travel episode but I postponed it because of my every two week system and it was probably for the better considering the hollow mind episode exists.

I don't have any major complaints so far, mainly because the second half seems to be doing its best to address criticisms like the fact that Scarra barely had any screen time despite her closeness to Amity or how they wrote Lily Pad out of the show when his redemption arc was

still

in progress or how they swore that. willow and amity

still

had a package to settle, and yet they barely share two lines together, not including the loose topic. Have you ever heard of the Bechdel test? You should make a version for the owl

house

, especially with amity, but they have To talk about something non-loose, I guess the only drawback is that some of my theories were wrong, but that's nothing against the show.

One episode even explained fan theories pretty well. I had fun coming up with those theories. They were like our own stories. Now the characters I'm definitely going to make videos about in no particular order are Hunter Lilith, them Tara Rayne King and Darius, maybe an apology video for Kiki, but I have to see what they end up doing with her for now, we're discussing .

alador

and his relationship with his kids starting nine months or so ago, the escaping expulsion episode aired which properly introduced us to the ruined

parent

s in the episode, amity bombs a presentation for Blade Industries and her mother, Odalia , he discovers that it is because he has friends.

How evil the next thing you know she will want privacy and boundaries but friendship in defense of your mom, why did you bring an incriminating photo to a public event especially since you know your

parent

s don't like you hanging out with weaklings? You're like Fantine. from les mis to this end, o'dahlia's blackmails are met with Loose Gus's execution and Willow, I mean, expelled, oh, thanks again, Alador, but they tell Luz that if she wants to talk about things, can come to Blight Manor and they come to an agreement. Loose helps with their next demonstration, they'll let her and her friends return to the devil's side, only it turns out that as part of the deal, Ooze has to face his new invention, the abomiton 2.0, but he won't rest until his enemy.

Amity is completely eliminated, probably for the first time in her life she confronts her parents and tells them that if they don't let go and her friends return, she will destroy the abomination in front of her investors. Odelia reluctantly agrees, but soon decides she will go back on her word I will call every authority I know I will make sure they can't, Dahlia, you made a deal with your daughter and a pest always keeps her end of the deal When this episode aired, many people praised

alador

or made excuses. To him, especially on places like Reddit and Instagram, many painted him as a helpless victim, a pup duck hung by his forceful queen-headed wife.

I didn't like this, sure Eldor was a fun character, but that doesn't change the fact that he is a neglectful father who stays behind and lets Odalia play dollhouse with her family. Now you will take twice as many classes to make up for lost time. In fact, I'm horrified that you're not in class right now. What do you think Melanie Martínez would have done? a picnic writing songs for the pests elise gwen meant well and still loved her daughter she just thought she wasn't needed her people would tell me oh dally is abusing him too but we don't know for sure nothing we'll ever see in the screen makes me think he is a victim when it comes to toxic or abusive parents.

Silence is violence, especially when you are the adult in the situation. I also didn't like that people pointed out that Eldor might have some kind of disability like autism or ADHD, that's an explanation, not an excuse not to mention, we know that if he puts his foot down or stands his ground, Odalia will listen to him and tell him to Odalia to back off, not because she was going to kill an innocent child or because she was being mean. friendship, but because the friendship is getting stronger, it is becoming strong enough to become a pact one day. flashback of understanding that willow exists odalia wasn't the only one who made the talking pests just partner with the strongest witcher you can choose a new friend from one of the suitable companions we invited cut your ties with willow and if you don't then we will I'll do but again I'll admit he's a funny character the expelled comment was funny but you know who else is the funny character except a terrible dad Steven Stotch but as you go back to quarantine or get grounded my initial video, although sure, compares. what i usually post now ended up becoming one of the most popular at the time and in views alone it's still my highest rated video for the owl house.

The second video I made on Lilith led me to review Disney cartoons. The oldest showed me what he could do. is full time recently, eldor followed the path of other characters such as queen luna, mabel and oona, finally reaching 100,000 views. see why guys, that's right, thank you, let's ask ourselves another question, is he out or is the pest still a bad father, let's discuss. Watching his initial episode I didn't think we'd see him much later, at best I thought it would be like North West Fathers where he might appear in minor ways or be mentioned after playing his role, it wouldn't be a big deal .

A role like them was meant to be a fantasy version of something we see all too often in real life. Could arguing or being a facilitator be 10 times more relatable than using a bell to get your child to behave too before you get to the episode? where it changes, i want to give a little more background as they revealed a thing or two about him afterwards, at the end of escaping expulsion, word spreads about the abomiton 2.0 and bello sends hunter to negotiate a deal with the pests who will be the emperor. buy each of your abomitons and will personally fund the research to make them stronger, it is an honor to have you should be emperor.

Bellows doesn't like citizens forming a private army after the abominations are added to Bellows' arsenal, but Aldor was a constant. presence in his requiem we meet the leader of the coven of abominations, darius. I also know I said I'd probably get his own video, but I have to say I love darius nixon, tara, he's my favorite coven leader. He was scheduled for a time for me today. so turn yourself in before things get ugly iris seems to have a grudge against aldor a strange reason that has never been discussed i actually told you we didn't need help so get that ugly thing off my face and tell alador it's a trick while you We're at it considering what we know now.

I like to think it's because Darius considers him a traitor, even though he and Odalia are running the Boiling Isles version of Apple Meet and are still doing regular old abominations that Darius can literally turn into. you don't answer to anyone but the emperor that or I wouldn't be surprised if it was an open secret the pests are helicopter parents anyway, I babbled long enough, let's get to the episode one morning, Luce wakes up to a notification on his cell phone Today she has an important event with Camilla, but since she and her mom are separated, she can't do it and it seems to be really important, since she wants to avoid it at all costs, being identifiable once again.

Luch tries to suppress her emotions by becoming overwhelmingly distracted. with important tasks uh I feel good loose I feel great today is going to be a productive day for solving problems can you just put your phone on do not disturb mode or turn off the notification? Take like two seconds look at this, you stole my pentagram, I borrowed it because I have a castle insider getting information on the bellows, look at the pony head, this is what you do. I'm very surprised that Loose doesn't have a scroll. Can you only afford one? I'm sure a burner scroll or a spinning scroll would do the trick.

Do the trick if Eda had money, then she could splurge on an eye scroll when she eats King Probe. Luce admits that she has some mental things. You are avoiding something. Say it. I'm not. Maybe I'm fine. I definitely am too. that eid is the one who realizes something is going on since all of this really seems like something eda would do or has done in the past a few seconds later amity comes to tell luz about her family problems dad look it's the Bonesboro fight tonight and since I'm finally old enough to participate. I was thinking, "ugh, dad, believe it or stay away." It's another homage to Avatar.

Amy wants to compete in Earth Rumble. I mean the Bonesboro fight. It's an event where a group of witches fight and the winner gets to face last year's champion who turns out to be ward and rap if he is defeated they can claim his title in the coveted fighter belt wait I thought Hunter said you just have one day off a year or is it only for coven scouts or newbies only for Add that I don't particularly care for the fact that they are still paying homage to Avatar in addition to having the original Katara actress.

It is as if they are following signs of gravity falls. There is a difference between honoring and stealing. Stealing has no soul. You're just making your copy obvious. They don't realize what made him so successful and loved. Homage is what they are doing here, taking inspiration from the past and turning it into something of their own. Yell House is one of the best shows when it comes to celebrating the one and only. The time I really didn't like it was how witches, as some of you pointed out in the comments section of my Scarra video, basically stopped the episode to complain about Harry Potter and since I'm someone who hasn't really done it.

I watched the movies or read the books. I didn't understand the joke that simply invalidates all our efforts. If catching that thing is so important, why do anything else? There is no reason to watch any of the other players. That's such a stupid rule anyway, the Bonesboro fight. is important to Amity since Aldor used to be a champion before he grew up and became boring, unfortunately after remembering that he has a daughter, Eldor does not want Amity there, not because he is insecure, but because tonight there are tests for the coven of the emperor. whether she wants it or not, oh and he still calls her, you might as well cut her steak to help her taste it safely.

He made her a companion that sticks out like a sore purple thumb. This thing is so embarrassing that I even tried to disguise it. Yes, in fact I think Eda has the same outfit, yes, totally modern. I'm sure letting him help Grandma across the street would be a nice piece of character development. Emily tries to say that she doesn't want to go. But Eleanor is too distracted to take no for an answer. I don't want to go to the Covent trials. I want to participate in the fight and maybe win the championship belt. I was very wrong back then, but you have a bright future and you shouldn't. waste it on that nonsense, but you're welcome, it's actually weird that you wouldn't want her in, wouldn't that be a great resume booster?

I am sure the tests are not carried out once a year in a shocking turn of events, reveals amity. lose that she doesn't want to have anything to do with the coven of theemperor, in fact, he doesn't even want to join a coven, period, I don't even want to join a coven anymore, they call him lazy, he says he should participate anyway, did someone say the Bonesboro fight? I loved going to those places. Your dad was great at dueling. Wait, why didn't you ever enter or participate? I need answers. Still, there is a matter of the abominable abomination going to look for a rare and hard-to-find emerald dagger in the night market.

We'll keep you busy guys, if he comes back be sure to send him out for a hydrodynamic spatula with important starboard fittings and the turboprop. It's the tradition and trick of the Blight Twins family, and Amira decides to help Amity dress up for the fight until she gives. she her hiding stones found it here is mine too to give it an extra touch they don't look perfect even though they are 16 and 16 year olds are still developing i actually want to comment on this last november i made a video about the Blight twins mainly to talk about the possible relationship they have with their parents, i.e.

Amity has to dye her hair and cut it properly, and even then they don't seem to get the same treatment. The most popular answer I got was that the Blade twins are ignored by their parents, maybe at some point they were also abused, but Amity showed more potential or was easier to control, so she became the golden child, while Etrik and Emera became the lost boys, it's still bad. They aren't getting any attention, but as we see in Charm, there are some benefits and I'm using that word loosely as they are held to high expectations and unlike Amity, there is no image to maintain.

Well, I'd say that's pretty true here, Eldor. he doesn't say two words to his older sons he's not like patrick emera you're helping amity he doesn't even comment on the fact that the twins aren't wearing their cloaking stone gloves let's go around edric and emera we're leaving, but in Actually that makes me wonder, we know that illusion magic is the most stigmatized track, so why would blind parents be okay with their kids joining in? I think to some extent, considering Edric and Emera's concealment stones are kept at a high grade, not that high. as friendship but again they still have an image to uphold you're enjoying this aren't you a pest bro?

It's nice to be taken seriously for once. Reminds me of Willow, but let's get that out of the way. Shall we return to the question? Eleador? Blight is still a bad father, um, yeah, even if the episode focuses on him and Amity forgets to comment on him and Edric on Amira, you're not a good father if you're attentive to a child and don't agree with the Otherwise, perhaps there was not. There was enough time where the episode was once again about friendship that they wanted to give it more focus, but it felt strange. This never came up anywhere else.

He discovers that Warden Rapp is competing since Raph is a member of the Emperor's coven. Eda realizes that he can pick his brain. to discover hidden knowledge about the inner circle of bellows, like why Reine acted so strange or what was really heard on unity day, some good castle gossip lately, eda between you and me, the geeky moor kissed with a hot dog and flora is a saddle pusher, raph refuses to give information so that eda can come up with a quackery potion in the fight amity enters in disguise versus the powerful gloves amity uses a horrible nickname to her advantage me love it, actually funny i got my youtube name under similar circumstances while watching amity goose get another reminder, so not willing to deal with strong emotions, signs up for the fight, a last minute entry, it's a good place, but as soon as you managed to face the abomiton without the friendship being there, they will beat you like a mass of wada pillsbury back to the The Blight twins remember how I compare them to Willow.

It turns out that, like Willow, they have other talents that they are not encouraged to pursue. Esmeralda likes healing and Edrick likes keeping the peace, they're just hobbies. Edrick isn't even sure he's particularly good at it. Because he's mostly self-taught, you know, the beast keeps the magic a bit, it's just a hobby, probably not a good Edric though. I know the best thing you can do is work at it, improve, and learn from as many resources as you can. He even helps Eda and King get the ingredients for their potion and gives them some particularly good advice.

I thought fur badgers ate chests, not bloody berries. Plus, they are strong, so you will need a fortified rope. I wonder if they even enjoy it. Illusion magic or Vidalia forced them to do it so they would learn to love it. Actually, speaking of which, here's another complaint I have. Where is Odalia hanging out with our friend Jeff Fisher? Is she at the moon base eating meatball sandwiches? The reason I say this is because regarding the surface. she seems to be the main reason the swords are in their current state again, not that Alador isn't innocent, he is an enabler, but a lot of Amity's problems can be traced back to her, how would she take knowing that Amity Not only did he fail the coven's tests, but he defied them? once again and not only that, but the twins helped her and would she accept the fact that edric and emera are complete troublemakers in her eyes?

Honestly, pests are a double-edged sword, on the one hand, they are the most interesting family, sometimes, on the other. The point of stealing attention from other characters, but on the other hand, there are so many questions to be resolved, the fight continues and Amity and Luce seem to be doing very well. Emini might actually have a chance to win. Did the person in the bell jar go blank and stop, it's a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream, understandably, they forgot about the abomination, give him credit, he actually found an emerald dagger because believe it or no, those really exist, I'm not kidding, a loose instinct attacks the abomination because it honestly would.

You don't do the same thing that alerts Aldor, stay back, fine if that's how you want it, sorry it's part of YouTube so I'm not referring to the next comment, but let go you fucking idiot, why did you lie to Amity and why did you punch him? abomination, you know you almost went into a trance last time, come on amity, it's show time, amity has won the fight, it's time for her to face guardian rap, this kid loses the scratch match, that time to face Dad, the blanket is wet, Eleador is angry and disobeyed them and since he does, he doesn't have a little ring on his belt, he decides to call the guardian's rafts, I'm tired of standing around, I came here to fight, well, raph , you had tiny little eyes in eldor, you know, this is treason against a coven official, damn it, eleanor orders amne to leave. his brothers and they head home because he has brought dishonor to their family, friendship once again shows character development, he tells him and he loses, oh no, I'm not going anywhere with either of them, well because you lose , finds friendship under a tree and the two talk freely.

He even goes so far as to confess the terrible secret to him. His name is not very clear and her mother was moving, so she was stranded in the demon realm. He waited for the wrong program. In fact, before that, let me ask you another question. What do you think he went through to lose it? Dad, he abandoned Camilla before he left, he divorced Camilla, is he working on an oil rig? Today is the anniversary of my father's death, oh I guess that puts paid to the theory that the bellows is loose, he's dead, oh wait, I also like how he says That's not an excuse for what I did.

I said it happened a while ago. I don't know, it's a small moment, but on most shows I would act like it was a total forgetfulness of this move by the other person despite all the damage. because I liked how laid back and the show recognized that while his repression was understandable, it doesn't excuse his actions, he loses, you can't stop, yet, the plot is still in high gear to help speed things up, Edric changes the recipe and now warden. Rap goes completely Lovecraftian, meaning we only need one thing. I don't know what rituals you have in the human kingdom, but I'll help you pick some flowers and we can do something here.

It's a euphemism that Georgia O'keeffe's old man tries to help contain the Indian anger he comes to help I'm making my own decisions from now on but you're welcome once more good for you amity now eda can ask her all the questions that the fandom been dying to know just he don't know squat i don't know i actually got demoted for stealing my coworkers lunch see you lunch distributors that's what you get guys it's the best boss in the world. I would work for him even if I only had one day off a year and had to wake up at 6:00 am I have heard some things unity day is supposed to unite us with the titan I mean know what we know now is he really lying?

Very sorry. I ruined everything. Are you kidding? illusions of peacekeeping. and magic potions, keep it up kid, you have a future in wild magic, you can even become a really, what would you do with that skill set? Movie, pet food commercials, then we get the scene that seemingly redeems the alador for the first time in a long time. Amy gets to talk to him one on one, she tells him all about the fact that she and Loose are dating, I bet you didn't even know she was dating Loose's son Eden, the fact that she doesn't want to be around him. up to their impossible standards in the In fact, he had purple hair to match an abomination.

In the end, Eldor says that he will talk to Odalia, but instead of hugging, they shake hands. Can you tell mom I'll talk to her? It's a start, so once again considering everything. this is our sword, a good father, no, no, like I said, his relationship with Edric and Emera is distant at best, but I like what they did with him here, too busy making these monsters for him emperor and mom is too busy trying to dye my hair green. What I hate most in cartoons is how quickly abusive or toxic parents change or how they are forgiven.

That's not realistic. It's a nice pipe dream, but in some cases it's downright dangerous. I like how the owl house found a good compromise that Alador could be open to. change for his daughter, but that doesn't change the fact that he used to be incredibly controlling to the point that he would ruin a kindergartener's life just to teach Amity a lesson, not only that, but he sat and observed the butterflies that Willow Dalia experienced vicariously. She doesn't want to join the emperor's coven anymore, but that's always been your dream, no, it's always been mom's dream and you just accepted it, people have posted comments like oh, eldor is coded to be a certain way, but Just because the writers wrote it that way, doesn't excuse their actions.

Can you see Bojack? He is still a father and responsible for his decisions. I'd say the fact that he's willing to be a few leagues better than someone like Odalia, but that doesn't adequately redeem him. I just take the first step and in the end I like how the show recognizes that Amity doesn't have to forgive him just because she's her dad, she doesn't even hug him when he offers it to her, she just shakes his hand in a super formal way, but what else? she's going to do the episode ends with Loose and Amity literally picking flowers and using a balloon to send them to the human world somehow they end up in Camilla's window and that was my video in Aldor, my second considering the episode is coming up, is it? he's still a He's a bad dad, he obviously has a lot of work to do and I wish he had adequate screen time with his other kids, but if he's willing to do better he should do it anyway, that doesn't justify or excuse anything What he's done so far, my God, he's kind.

As a male version of Bojack's mom, I should make a video about her.
