After seeing the finale this song would be perfect for the backstory of the Titan(King’s father) and how he cursed the Collector, a child, out of fear of what he could, especially to his only living child. And in trying to prevent a monster he ended up creating one
This may seem a bit dark for some folks, but Caleb’s death is kind of grim irony. As the animator showed, he spent years wallowing in ignorance and blind hate. I don’t doubt that Phillip wanted to follow in his elder brother’s footsteps and become a great witch hunter. Retribution came back to haunt Caleb, though. He didn’t get to leave behind all his sins as his ran away with the witch he fell in love with. No, the monster he created, his own brother, hunted Caleb down the same way the two of them hunted down all those innocent people. He paid with his life just as all those innocents paid with theirs.
I don't really buy the whole "Caleb abandoned Philip for 5 years so he could elope with his hot witch girlfriend" idea, because that honestly doesn't really seem to be in his character. And do you remember the line that Masha said in Thanks to them? "They used a secret code to travel between worlds" it honestly sounds like it was something that the 2 would do very often over a long period of time so that they wouldn't arouse too mush suspicion, and so that they could have the best of both world's. And do you really think caleb would just abandon the only living family he has left, his baby brother, just so he could enter a relationship with somebody? I doubt he would even do that in the human realm. Who says he couldn't have both? (Philip obviously, but nobody could have predicted THAT.) Honestly, the whole "Caleb abandoned Philip." Sounds like something the latter made up to further his own narrative. We all know how obsessed Philip was with being the hero of his own story. So he could have just said that to justify his own actions. I mean, he made similar excuses with all the grimwalkers "betraying" him, so who's to say he didn't do the same thing here right?
Brooooooo. That scene where he walked past the burning pole and you drew the woman gave me chills. Something about the way she's drawn just feels so horrifying, burning alive as puritans cheer and taunt her. I loved this so much!!!
Now I need Fight Little Wolf with Phillip confronting Caleb, then their battle, going into the Possessed Hunter sequence. I think the line about 'running out of bones to break' would work so well with the Grimwalker concept.
Absolutely amazing. A beautiful animation showing a great tragedy between brothers. Caleb was a gentle and kind man, who was backstabbed by his brother both figuratively and literally.
This is absolutely amazing!!!! I'm a big fan of Epic the Musical and an even bigger fan of The Owl House. This song fits perfectly into the Wittebane Brothers' backstory. Also, the way you depicted the witch being burned at the stake and Caleb being stabbed by Phillip completely broke me. I was tearing up through the entire duration of this animatic. I will forever miss The Owl House...and Caleb. All the amazing memories I have of this show and all the shit it helped me get through. I wouldn't be who or where I am today without The Owl House. Anyway, thank you so much for creating this. You did a phenomenal job. 💛💛💛
Philip: That witch turned you against me! Caleb: Please Caleb, I’m sorry for running off without telling you what I was doing! My decision was reckless, but it showed me so much more outside of our humdrum life back in the human world! Philip: I will not let her take you from me! Caleb: Your prejudice and your ignorance have already done that. You have allowed our Puritan beliefs to twist your mind until you have become no better than the very species you have sworn to destroy. Philip: Do not lecture me, Caleb. I have seen the witches for what they really are. I do not fear reality as you do! Once I return here with an army, I will bring these affronts to God’s plan to justice and ensure they never corrupt our way of life again! Caleb: Affronts to God’s plan? Philip: Don’t make me kill you! Caleb: Phil, there is more to the witches than you realize. They’re savage, yes, but they can be kind and good too. Just put the dagger down and I’ll explain everything. Belos: If you are not with me, then you are my enemy. Caleb: Only a man such as yourself deals in absolutes.
Beautiful! And even more insparation for me to actually listen to this whole musical XD. I wish we'd gotten a proper backstory for them, but this is just as good I think!
3:13 if this was Warhammer 40K Phil would be always a loyal the Imperium of man and caleb would embrace the chaos gods because you have lost your faith for Humanity
I always got the impression that Caleb was the stronger one. I love the interpretation of how Phillip literally backstabbed him

He thought the Collector was reasonable to other Titan kids disappearance but it was his siblings who took the Titan babies because of their power.
Literally OMG !!

Красиво и трагично!
I love at the end where Caleb says he just a man
When he spared Phillip’s life he didn’t become a monster
THIS IS CHILLING AND I LOVE THE FOCUS ON CALEB'S CHARACTER OMGDGKKHFDGH
That silence is chilling. I do appreciate you including Flapjack here, only if to give him trauma :,)
Two of my favourite things mashed together
Whenever this song is used I end up crying in some capacity. People are always just really good at using it

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (I imagined this with Philip as well)

It took me rereading that like twice for me to get that is was a Star Wars reference

3:02 I feel no pity for you caleb you brought this on yourself
2:35 Phil did it was his duty well you Kayla took the selfish way out
3:13 if this was Warhammer 40K Phil would be always a loyal the Imperium of man and caleb would embrace the chaos gods because you have lost your faith for Humanity
2:20 Caleb you are the most selfish person in your entire town no better than witch Hunters even though they do have a reason to expect the unexpected
