I am going to write about hot daga and owl house parallels and you are going to LISTEN TO ME:
In the end, the dynamic that most of the owl house villains have with emperor belos is REALLY similar to the dynamic the villains of the hot daga have with the dark master: they play the game for their own interests, for power, for the vague idea of justice they've been taught to believe, in ignorance of the fact that the only one who wins at this game is the big boss himself.
Pam and Lilith, for example.
They go to the farthest lengths imaginable, betraying their own sisters, all in the hopes of the pipe dream they've been fed by the dark master/belos. Yet just as quickly, JUST as the man they've followed so long and done everything for has gotten what he needed, they are discarded as if they are nothing.
And all at once they get to see exactly how worthless the pain they caused was, and how deeply they regret it.
Or Garce and Hunter.
They've been in the game since they were young, and they dance the steps they've learned without question. And what else would they do? How much did you learn as a child that you've followed without a thought?
And while the story of wild magic killing Hunter's family was a lie, Mike Soup DID, however accidentally, kill Garce's mother on that transport ship. How much does that justify for a person? I don't know the answer.
In the end, when it's the family business, how likely are you to step away?
Or even the big bads themselves. The Dark Master, and Emperor Belos.
Or is Chili Pope the Ninth and Philip Wittebane more appropriate?
Each an older evil, cloaked in a new coat of paint. Both with far darker intentions than even any of their followers could have imagined, intentions that seek to wipe out both their enemies and their allies in a total destruction. In the end, no matter which side you're on, no one else wins if he was.
After all, the game was always of their design, and the house always wins.
so anyway yeah I've been enjoying the owl house I guess

puppet history theory
the way the hand manipulating the puppets is clearly visible? in any other season, it has not been obvious. in the theatre segment of S5E2 “The Defenestrations of Prague”— a wrist with a watch on it is obvious. additionally, during the ad break, molasses horse’s wife (Dorothy Ruth) is being puppeteered.
according to the holiday funeral special, aren’t all the historical puppets in a sort of in-between space from life and death? how would Stanley the molasses horse’s wife survived?
my ongoing theory is that the Genie is either making his own puppets or manipulating the puppets, Wandavision-style. or possessing their corpses, idk.
as professor mcnasty has not been right since his canonical death (?), i think that the Genie is controlling his doppelgänger and also all of the puppet guests.
also, the mention of the professor wanting to keep his hat if he was defenestrated? when he fell back in time through the wormhole, he kept his lil hat on his head. interesting.
what this means for the rest of the season? i don’t know. time will tell.
