i miss them

[thinking-with-quadrants]

I wanted to draw the moment when Eda realised she was in love.I imagine they're on a trip to the human world, at a beach, it's sunset, they're playing a mellow tune and Eda sees the setting sun glint golden off their hair...

Quick redraw scene from the pilot :3

I like pilot more then original episode =w=

I watched pilot, I read pitch book, I watched old concepts. So I can say that I find early ideas and concepts are much interesting then original show has.

This is hands down my absolute favorite part of the pilot, this shows exactly why Luz and Eda connect so strongly. What the human world sees in Luz as being weird or freaky, Eda sees those same traits and sees them as skill and potential. She sees the world in such a way that’s so refreshing for Luz and gives her such strong validation without even realizing

"Woah... This is beautiful... Why would anyone throw this away?"

An alternative way to watch TOH’s original pilot.

The Clawthorne sisters really are the same person, huh? ( Covention x Young Blood, Old Souls )

While watching the owl house, I wished there had been more focus on Luz in the human school. Because… It's very interesting. In the episode Knock Knock Knocking Hooty's Door, Luz said, "I'm going to be made fun again." If we had seen more of what she experienced at school, like that, the meaning of why she clung so tightly to Boiling Island would have been expanded. The pilot episode achieved this.

It's also, I think, Eda take Raine's role in the pilot. She is trying to destroy the Emperor while staying by his side.

Any thoughts on the TOH pitch bible and pilot episode that were leaked? Anything you thought it was better than in the final product, or that the final product improved on?

Here is the pilot episode along with a lot of other Disney shows for those that missed it.

And the pitch bible

There were quite a few things I liked about the pilot better: the biggest being that Luz is actually bullied for her interests instead of pulling dangerous stunts that just make her look bad. Also, there's actual bigotry against humans in the Boiling Isles! Luz has to wear a disguise when sneaking into witch school! Lilith is more of a threat in this pilot than she was in the show! Luz and Eda feel more natural in the pilot; Eda still proclaims herself as the most powerful witch in the isles but it's obviously her ego talking while it's taken more seriously in the show. It feels like it's having more fun with itself instead of having an air of self importance.

A few things the actual show did better: Luz entering the Demon Realm. In the pilot, she just stumbles into it after trying to return Amity's passport (who is still a witch just attending a human high school for some reason). Luz trying to get her book back from Owlbert and being led directly to Eda works better for her character and the themes of the show. Also, in the pilot, Eda could just easily conjure a door to the human realm, which lowers the stakes a bit.

As for the pitch bible, it certainly is ambitious with how its world is set up: beta Belos was called Obron and was a councilor to the real ruler of the world, Emperor Pupa, who is currently in larval form and only its councilor's can understand what it's saying. Naturally, Obron is the real power behind the throne and plans on invading the human realm by possessing the Titan's body and he apparently needs a human soul to do that...

Yeah, I can see why this was simplified in the final version.

I do like some of the designs in the pitch bible better. For example, here's Willow, a.k.a. Paulina:

Here's Tibbles:

And lastly, even though everyone says this is beta Hunter, look me in the eyes and tell me that's not Baby Philip "Kill All Witches" Wittebane:

Come on, red outfit, blue eyes, hatred of witches, really hundreds of years old, the FREAKIN' DAGGER/SWORD.

That's a proto-Philip who was split into 3 characters, he's not simply beta Hunter.

Overall, both the pitch bible and the pilot are a mixed bag; the pitch bible has some overly ambitious ideas that (thankfully) became more grounded, but it also has more interesting character designs. The pilot has a lot going on in a mere 20 minutes but it's more fun to watch imo simply because it's not taking itself too seriously.

Despite all of these what-ifs, a show is only as good as how well it carries out its ideas. Toh has a lot of creativity and compelling concepts but its biggest struggle was always in its execution.

(P.S. any accusations that Disney made Dana add Hexside are now null and void because both the pitch bible and pilot had Lilith as the Headmaster of Amity's magic school)
