Are you ready to enter a world of magic, mystery, and questionable morality? Look
no further than The Owl House! A journey through the Boiling Isles with Luz, Eda,
and King, and discover what this animated gem has to say about identity, acceptance, and the
perils of making deals with demonic entities. With such a loyal fanbase, it’s no surprise that The
Owl House has spawned all sorts of fan theories… But which of these theories hold the most weight?
I’m Caleb with WickedBinge; and these are The Owl House Fan Theories: B.S. to Truth Bomb
Let’s start with our first category. These theories either have so many holes that they
can’t possibly be true… they lack evidence… or they’ve been confirmed false by creators.
These Theories are B.S. Belos Killed Luz’s Father
The theory proposed by Reddit user u/Fantastic_Year9607 is certainly a
tantalizing one, suggesting that Emperor Belos is the one responsible for Luz's father's death. The
user suggests that time pools, which allow someone to see the future, could have given
Belos knowledge that Luz would help him. The theory also states that after Luz's father died,
Camila helped Luz embrace her uniqueness, which eventually led her to the Boiling Isles and to
meet Belos. The reveal that Belos killed Luz's father could be a shocking moment for both Luz
and Camila, and this might be why the writers sent Camila to the demon realm in the show.
This would be a major plot twist that could have a significant impact on the
show's narrative. But let's pump the brakes a bit and examine this theory more closely.
Firstly, there is no evidence to support this theory. While Belos is certainly shown to be
a ruthless leader who is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals,
there is no indication that he had any personal vendetta against Luz's father or
her family. We can't just go around accusing people of murder without any proof, can we?
Also, based on the information provided in Luz's diary entries, it is more likely
that Manny died due to a pre-existing medical condition such as a heart problem or cancer.
The fact that the family moved to be closer to a hospital suggests that Manny had ongoing
health issues that required medical attention. Secondly, this theory undermines the depth and
complexity of Luz's character development. Luz's backstory and trauma are an integral
part of her character, and attributing her motivations solely to Belos' actions would
oversimplify her arc and rob her of agency. It's not fair to reduce Luz to just a victim
of circumstance – she's much more than that. But perhaps the biggest issue with this theory
is that it's not a healthy way to cope with trauma. Blaming an all-powerful scapegoat is
not the solution to overcoming one's struggles. It would be a cheap narrative device to attribute all
of Luz's challenges and motivations to a single villain, rather than allowing her to confront and
overcome her obstacles on her own terms. So, while this theory may be intriguing,
it ultimately falls apart upon closer examination. The Owl House is a show
that values complex character development and nuanced storytelling, and we can trust
the writers to handle Luz's backstory in a way that respects both of those values.
As follows, this theory is just complete BS. Moving on from the BS, these theories still
have a lot of problems… Not enough to say they’re completely debunked,
but still... These theories are Full of Holes. Amity Dyes Her Hair to Accept Herself
First, we have a theory suggested by Reddit User suggests that Amity's partially dyed hair in The
Owl House is symbolic of her dissatisfaction with herself, and that the show will end with
a scene where her hair is fully grown out to its natural color, indicating that she has found inner
peace and acceptance. While this may seem like an interesting interpretation, it is full of holes
and lacks any significant evidence to support it. For one, although Amity does have dyed hair in
the show, there is no obvious connection between this and her self-doubt or feeling
of dissatisfaction with her identity. The show hasn't delved into this aspect of her character,
so it's only guesswork to assume that her hair color was intentionally
chosen to represent her inner turmoil. Furthermore, in movies and TV shows, changing a
character's hair color to represent their personal growth or acceptance is a common but overused
idea. Given that the show in question has a unique and sophisticated way of telling stories, it's
unlikely that they would use such a predictable approach to show Amity's emotional journey.
Moreover, it’s important to mention that hair growth and dyeing are natural occurrences that
don't have any direct link to personal growth or acceptance. Amity's hair may
be growing out on its own, or she may have chosen to dye it back to its natural color
for practical or stylistic reasons that have nothing to do with her character development.
It’s important to remember that not every aspect of a character's appearance is a deliberate choice
meant to convey a deeper meaning and that relying on cliché symbolism can be a sign of lazy writing.
Luz Will Become the Next Empress The theory by Reddit User u/Totalsupreme
suggests that Luz could become an empress by the end of the season
and lead Boiling Island to a better future. While it's an interesting idea,
there are several flaws with this theory that make it unlikely to happen.
Firstly, Luz is very young and not yet an adult, which would make it difficult
for her to lead a society as complex and diverse as the Boiling Isles. Additionally,
the Boiling Isles has a history of bad experiences with emperors and empresses,
especially after what happened with Belos. It's doubtful that they would want another human ruler,
especially one who is so inexperienced. Furthermore, Luz's journey on the Boiling
Isles has been one of self-discovery and personal growth, and it's unclear if she has any interest
in becoming a ruler. It seems more likely that she would want to continue exploring magic and
learning more about the Boiling Isles, rather than taking on the responsibilities of leading it.
Instead of Luz becoming an empress, it's possible that the series could
explore the idea of establishing some kind of government or council to rule
the Boiling Isles. This could involve a collaboration between witches, demons,
and other magical creatures to create a fair and just society. However, it's important to
note that the show has not yet hinted at any such development, so this is purely speculative.
With that said, we’re now into the middle category. Where we may be stumble onto some
truth… Maybe. These Theories are Possible. The Collector Is Not Evil
The theory proposed by Reddit User u/AstronomerSorry1022 suggests that The Collector,
a powerful child-like being, is not actually evil but simply lacks supervision and guidance.
The theory predicts that The Collector will play a significant role in the show,
potentially taking over the main character's role and forcing the other characters into specific
roles. The theory suggests that no one can defeat The Collector, except perhaps for King, who may
have the power to do so. Alternatively, the gang may call upon a more powerful cosmic entity,
such as The Collector's parents or another star child, to deal with The Collector. The
theory predicts that this would tie into the show's theme of parent-child relationships.
One of the key pieces of evidence to support the theory that The Collector is not inherently
evil is the fact that he is a child-like being. Children are often seen as innocent and in need
of guidance and supervision to help them make the right choices. The Collector may simply lack the
knowledge and understanding necessary to make good decisions and may act out of impulse rather than
malice. This could explain why he is so obsessed with collecting things and why he seems to have
little regard for the well-being of others. Another piece of evidence to support the
theory is the fact that The Collector has not yet been portrayed as a villain in the show.
While he has certainly caused some trouble for the characters, he has not yet shown any overtly
malicious behavior. This could indicate that the show's creators are intentionally keeping his true
nature a mystery, perhaps because they have plans to reveal that he is not actually evil.
Finally, the idea of calling upon a more powerful cosmic entity to deal with The Collector is
not necessarily far-fetched. The Owl House universe is full of magic and mystical beings,
so it is not out of the realm of possibility that there could be other powerful entities out
there that could help the characters in their fight against The Collector. Additionally,
the theme of parent-child relationships is a major theme in the show, and it would make sense for the
creators to explore this theme by having The Collector's parents play a role in the story.
Overall, while the theory proposed by Reddit User is still speculative,
there are several pieces of evidence to support it.
Belos Is Alive The theory suggested
by Reddit User u/AstronomerSorry1022 suggests that Belos is still alive and will be desperate
to return to the Boiling Isles to finish the job and get a new body. In his current state,
he is unable to do anything, so he will get a helper, and the theory proposes that
it could be Jacob Hopkins, the lunatic from "Yesterday's Lies." The theory suggests that
Belos will use Hopkins to start a cult and continue his plan to rule the Boiling Isles.
This theory makes sense because we know that Belos is a powerful and determined character
who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Additionally, we have seen him use others to
achieve his goals in the past, such as with his use of Lilith to capture Eda.
Moreover, the character of Jacob Hopkins seems like a ripe candidate for manipulation,
given his amoral nature and willingness to do whatever it takes to get what he
wants. Belos could easily exploit these traits to turn him into a loyal follower.
These next conspiracies make a lot of sense. In fact,
we think they’re more likely to be true than not. These theories are Probable.
Everyone in Boiling Isles Was Once Human The Boiling Isles has been a mysterious
and enchanting setting in The Owl House. However, a recent fan theory proposed by
Reddit user u/JoChiCat has shed some light on a possible connection between the magical realm and
Earth. This theory suggests that ancient humans might have discovered the Boiling
Isles and gradually adapted to its unique climate, evolving into the witches and other
supernatural beings that Luz encounters. Several elements in The Owl House series
support this theory. One such element is the use of Titan blood to travel between
dimensions. This substance, derived from the being that the Boiling Isles are built around,
was once more abundant and used for its potent magical properties. Pools of Titan blood can
even transport humans between worlds, hinting at a possible link between Earth and the Boiling Isles.
Another factor is the use of Glyph magic, a "pure" form of magic that Luz masters and
teaches to other witches. These glyphs, linked to the elements of the world,
are believed to have originated from Emperor Belos' journals, another human who may have
traveled to the Boiling Isles in the distant past. Together, these elements suggest that
humans and witches may share a common ancestor. While this theory is speculative, it draws from
established elements in The Owl House series to offer a compelling possibility. Over time,
ancient humans from Earth may have found their way to the Boiling Isles and accessed its magic,
leading to their adaptation and eventual divergence into witches and other supernatural
beings. Emperor Belos' influence may have further distanced the witches from their abilities,
making them even more distinct from humans. This fan theory adds depth and complexity
to The Owl House's world and characters. It invites viewers to consider the history and
evolution of both worlds and raises intriguing questions about identity and belonging. While it
remains unconfirmed, this theory is a fascinating and plausible addition to The Owl House lore.
Finally, we’ve reached the truth. Confirmed truth. People have blown the whistle on these
theories with such compelling evidence that they must be true. These theories are the Truthbombs.
Luz’s Ancestors Were Witches
The theory that Luz is a descendant of one of the ancient witches who founded
the Boiling Isles has been suggested by Reddit User u/DOGE___GOD. The supporting
points for this theory include Luz's immediate fascination with magic,
her unusually strong magical abilities, her mysterious connection to the portal,
and Emperor Belos' interest in her. Luz's fascination with magic from the
first episode suggests that she has a natural connection to it, possibly inherited from her
witch ancestor. Additionally, Luz's strong magical abilities, despite being new to the Boiling Isles,
could be evidence of her natural talent for magic, passed down through her lineage.
Luz's surname is Noceda, which has Spanish origins and means "nightshade." Nightshade
is a plant commonly associated with witches and magic. It's possible that this surname
was chosen intentionally by the show's creators to hint at Luz's witchy heritage.
In the episode "Hooty's Moving Hassle," we see a portrait of a witch named Eda the Owl Lady
from over a century ago. The portrait bears a striking resemblance to Luz,
which could suggest that Luz is descended from Eda or another witch from that time period.
In the series, Luz is shown to be very talented in magic, especially in the episode "Wing It Like
Witches." She can do a spell that needs expert knowledge of abomination anatomy,
even though she never learned it before. This kind of ability is rare, even for skilled
witches. Some people believe that Luz might have inherited this natural talent from her ancestor.
In the episode "Agony of a Witch," we learn that Eda has a curse that causes her to turn
into a monstrous owl creature every full moon. This curse was placed on her by a
group of witches who were jealous of her power. It's possible that
Luz's ancestor might have been one of these powerful witches who made others jealous,
and this caused them to curse her and her family. In "Young Blood, Old Souls," it is revealed that
Luz's presence is necessary for the portal to open. This suggests that there is something
special about her that makes her important to the history of the Boiling Isles. It is
possible that her ancestral connection to the Boiling Isles is the reason for this.
Finally, Emperor Belos’ fascination with Luz is very strange. He knows about her
family background and thinks she can unleash the full power of the portal. Some people believe he
might have bad intentions and wants to manipulate Luz, or maybe he sees her as a risk to his power.
Overall, many people think that Luz might be a descendant of one of the ancient witches
who created the Boiling Isles, and there's a lot of proof to back it up. This theory adds
a lot of depth to Luz's character and could have big effects on the show going forward.
