I really enjoyed seeing Hunter question the system he’s in. That’s a nice character trait to slide in there. Hunter is very smart and well-read despite how others perceive him. I loved watching him bond with Luz over glyph magic.
It leads to him feeling trapped and having a secret interest in wild magic. Like Lilith, he wants to think Belos’ ways are correct. He’s clearly a child raised in propaganda and struggles with it.
Hunter’s a tragic character too, having similar qualities to Eda and Lilith. I have to believe that if Belos isn’t Phillip or part of his family, then the emperor must want Hunter for some greater purpose. We know Phillip came in the 1600s to the Boiling Isles. Hunter explains to Luz that members of his family for generations were magicless witches. Hunter’s a fantastic fighter as he faced off against Kikimora.īeing a witch without magic makes me think he’s the true descendant of Phillip Wittebane while Belos is lying to him. Like Luz, he must compensate for his abilities using a magic staff that wields technology or by his physical prowess. While that trait was prominent in show creator Dana Terrace’s promotional artwork, we see that Hunter is quite capable when he needs to be. In my review for “ Separate Tides,” I mentioned that I loved Hunter’s character trait that he was lazy and entitled. There’s still so much mystery wrapped up in that relationship. Or Belos could have adopted him after something happened to Hunter’s family. Though, he also says that Belos took him in, so "uncle" might just be a placeholder title. We find out his name is Hunter, and we’re told he’s Belos’ nephew.
TV TROPES UNTITLED GOOSE GAME SERIES
Man, the Golden Guard is quickly becoming my favorite character of the series along with Amity. This makes me think Phillip Wittebane’s true descendant is the Golden Guard and that Belos is lying about being his family.
I truly think with everything he says, the opposite is actually the truth. I can’t emphasize enough that Belos is a confirmed liar. Or possibly dark magic has twisted him into this demonic form. He could be a demon playing up being a human leader. It does make me question Belos being related to Phillip. Palismen magic must help Belos keep somewhat of a human form and hold himself together. To continue with the cold opening for "Hunting Palismen," Belos is actually a horrific gooey deer monster under that mask! In the season two trailer when we glimpsed this scene, that was not what I was expecting. I am also really digging the Amphibia season two finale vibes as it’s The Owl House’s sister show. Especially with the Golden Guard’s back story which I’ll get into in a moment. If the Boiling Isles is the coven leaders' realm, then the theories that Belos is either the human Phillip Wittebane or a descendant is looking more likely. The season one finale could have been a red herring.īelos also said his plan is about uniting “our realms” being the human world and the Boiling Isles. Maybe Belos isn’t aware of this? Or maybe he wants to subjugate the human realm despite what he told Luz that he had no urge to conquer her realm. Is Belos trying to do away with all magic by bringing the Boiling Isles into the human world? We, the audience, know that won’t work because Lilith could still use magic in Luz’s world. Also, Belos provided the Golden Guard his staff which is made from technology. We know that Luz can’t use magic in the human world. What stuck out to me was he called it a utopia for magic. "Hunting Palismen"s reveal that the Day of Unity involves the human world is not surprising from what we know of Luz’s confrontation with Belos in season one. They were some A+ character designs though! I want to know about all of them! None of them spoke so we don’t know their thoughts or motivations. I think that could still be possible with the coven leaders. But part of me figured there would be some decenters in Belos’ ranks. They're more than likely just as corrupt. I should have seen it coming because they're pretty much government officials holding positions of power. I was surprised that they all seem to be in on Emperor Belos’ plan for the Day of Unity. It had a fantastic balance of showcasing Luz and her journey, introducing the backstory for a new character, continuing to build the lore of the world, and gave us some stunning moments for both the heroes and the villains. “Hunting Palismen” might be my favorite episode of Disney's The Owl House so far.
