Okay but like. Can we please talk about how Eda was there to guide Luz and be her mentor even as Luz was in ANIME GOD MODE. Eda hand over hand helping Luz cast her first spell circle means the actual world to me
My one complaint is that Luz didn’t get to stay in her titanwitch form or at least keep some reminder that it happened (the fangs, the eyes). I’m so tired of protagonists getting cool final forms and there being no mark that it ever happened
One thing that kills me about this last scene is the use of the word "they're" here.
Like yes, the Collector uses they/them pronouns and Luz is obviously referring to them....but...it could also mean us. The audience. "They're nearly gone." The end of the show is mere seconds away. And then the entire cast says bye one last time, to us, to the show, to the story. It's a farewell to all of us, to send off the show.
Guys, I think you forgot an important part of The Collector's character. They are a child. No, I'm not accusing anyone- hear me out! I myself saw that scene where he compared people to toys and thought aww a misguided boi. He has to learn the value of people.
But... no. He does see the value in them. They cherish King so much!
I think the point is... children hold as much affection for toys as they do for humans. And it's no different for The Collector. They weren't demeaning Luz when they said she was just broken and he could fix her.
Collector cherishes his toys. Every single one of them, because they are his friends. His lesson isn't about learning to value life, because he does. His lesson is one every child learns- there are things you can and cannot control. Your toy friends you can control, but not your people friends.
To sum it up, Collector is baby and is attached to everyone they come across as much as a child cherishes their toys.
No but Luz saying the "Good Witch" speech at the end without changing her name because she has come to actually love herself as she is means everything to me.
Its honestly eda's character development that really hits me now that the finale's over. After Eda got the curse, her entire life changed. She was already doing poorly fitting in at hexside, and then that just made things worse. When raine came into her life, she gradually began to love them, but she eventually pushed them away completely because of her curse. She didn't want to hurt them so she kept her secret from them, and they eventually broke up with her because of this. This left her alone, after she pushed both her father and mother away later in life and her sister joined the emperor's coven instead of her. She ended up just living by herself. This is where King and Luz came in.
With Luz just kinda being thrown into her life, she wasn't too thrilled about teaching her and did ask for something in return. But as time went on Eda became sort of a mother to Luz, and their bond grew stronger and stronger, until eventually Eda finally broke her curse while reuniting with her sister.
In Eda's requiem, she goes through a checklist including things she has do do for Luz and King, and says "You've changed, Owl Lady." She then smiles and picks up a photo of them and says, "It's worth it." This to me shows just how much she's grown from the beginning of the series, when she was tired, hesitant to teach luz, and still being controlled by her curse. She found a family in Luz and King and Lilith, and soon after reconnected with Raine, who reminded her, "you can't run from your fears forever, which is why you gotta jump on them." Just like she said to them when they were younger playing music together. She also reconciled with both her parents, and whens he finally talks to her father she still doesn't believe she deserves forgiveness for something the owl beast did, but he tells her to let the past stay in the past. When she finally defeats the owl beast, this is when she realizes that its not a part of her, its a curse and she can control it.
This all comes together at the end of the show, when we see that Eda is now the headmaster of The University of Wild Magic, and living happily with Raine. Even through everything, all of the battles she fought when everyone told her she was wrong, and all the friends and family she assumed wouldn't forgive her, she finally found peace.
