I agree, I wasn’t even aware this was something that was happening.

An Owl House prequel that shows Vee's time at Reality Check camp and living as Luz. I honestly think the story of Vee adapting to American society would make for a very interesting story.
But would Disney ever greenlight something like that, or is that way too..."complex" for them?
If they can sign on to Tono and Stitch, and if they still want to make amends to the Owl House fandom, then make this a manga.
Or would it be up to an indie author who has to beg Disney's permission to write the story themselves?
I could see that as an interesting spin-off. Issue is you would need to get Dana Terrace to come back to write it, and from what I understand she wants to do other stuff now.
Could we see something like this in, say ten years, or is a next gen Owl House reboot more likely at this point?
I'm not sure we will ever get a reboot unless Disney decides to milk it for money in which case its almost certainly going to be an awful disappointment. The creator of the show seems to be interested in doing other stuff for the forseeable future.
Eh, trust me, as someone who watched in real time as multiple shows I loved turned into boring slogs because they just kept going, having a show end on a high note is a blessing.
Many of us agree that the Simpsons, Fairly Oddparents, and Spongebob would've been better off if allowed to end gracefully around or after their high points. My personal belief is that the SImpsons should've ended in 2000, FOP in 2006, and Spongebob in 2004, but that's just me.
But I think looking at the old story in a new way, or more specifically looking at the story from a different POV, isn't inherently a bad thing. I am not arguing for 30 seasons of the Owl House that allows Disney to shamelessly profit from an IP, but a short prequel story about a beloved character. Tom Stoppard made us care about the likes of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern after all.
I personally think The Owl House deserved to have five seasons to probably flesh out the characters, story, world-building, and plot, but I can see where the point comes from.
I think we should've gotten a full third season to see the Hexsquad adapting to life in Connecticut and it's a shame Disney pulled the plug on that!
But would a full fourth season been in the cards? Or was three full seasons enough?
I think it was conceived as 3 seasons pretty early on, so any extra time would have just gone to making season 3 properly fleshed out and maybe adding some extra standalone adventures to the others.
But would, say, a short prequel series about Vee's early life in Gravesfield be a good idea? Or would that be drawing out the Owl House instead of letting it rest with dignity?
Three (full) seasons would’ve been enough for me, but in my ideal world I would’ve preferred five, so the show would’ve aired sometime between 2020 and 2025 in that timeline.
Anything featuring Vee getting parental love and affection would've been the most adorable thing to watch!
