Quitters Badge: The Owl House is intense

 

After bingint two seasons on Disney+ I'm now just waiting on season three...

All their decisions have been the wrong decisions. And frankly, 

And the kids have doomed the Demon world, and left it to be the plaything of the Big Bad. And perhaps trying for the Quitters badge would have been more successful. But if thats the message you want to teach kids who come from imperfect homes, you might as well drop them in pits to fight dogs for food.

As a setting the use of Wild Magic was prolific. But then shenannigans of the time travel variety happen and they bitch Slap the BBEG before he turns into a Wild Witch hating asshole and set the future in motion (one with covens).
