Belos' Death | The Owl House Watching and Dreaming | TOH Season 3 Finale

- my girl slayed when she literally is just standing there, watching belos melt into his death.
and eda, king, and raine's final kill was satisfying.
I like that when he "turns into Phillip" you can literally hear him making something up on the spot, his inflection and tone of voice. The line delivery in this was especially good.
Silver tongue turned to lead
That's because he has finally run out of options and he knows it.
The voice acting in this show was top notch
You can actually see him sweating from nervousness of making a believable lie at 0:09
He still sounds somewhat convincing, in spite of that…until the boiling rain starts.
The fact that King's dad got to tell him he loved him through a bread pun was perfect.
Like father, like son
It was so cute 🥺🍞
Kings dad is sort of like Asgore and Sans fused in one
It certainly wasn’t half baked
I can only send one message. Convey affection, or dad jokes?.......OR BOTH!!!
Am I the only one who appreciates the irony of Philip/Belos still insisting that he's still human despite looking like the lovechild of a lich and a wendigo?
At the end he just showed us his true face. Evil makes you monstrous indeed.
I always saw him more as smoking lich even before season 2 and let’s be honest he hasn’t been human in a very long time inside or out
that,my dear is called irony.XD
Don't compare me to that monster
They say you should never judge a book by its cover. I find the faults in that sentiment more and more as time goes on.
His “just as evil, just as conniving” remarks make you think he’s about to compare Luz to _himself,_ only for him to drop that “those witches”.
He’s so unaware of how horrible he is, even at his most desperate moment all he can manage to do is throw more insults at the people of the boiling isles
I would have loved to see a scene between Caleb and Phillip kind of like the scene between Ursa and Ozai in the Avatar The Last Airbender comics.
Basically Zamasu of Disney.
"You don't even realize your own evil. You're the worst form of evil!"
@@Supasmartguy I think Frollo is a much stronger comparison, tbh.
He's a bigot through and through. He's incapable of understanding the concept of a good witch. To him, magic is evil, and no amount of persuasion and evidence is going to convince him otherwise. That he could be wrong about, well, anything is a foreign concept to Belos. That's why he blamed the witches in the end. His 'never my fault' personality was what convinced Luz to just let him die.
I was afraid they would try to redeem Belos but Dana said "nah screw that" lol
Yeah, he is beyond redeemable, but I would've like to see a better punishment than that. It just seems like a darker version of Toffee's from Star vs The Force of Evil.
Dana said she hated writing his character so he had to die
@@ciscojacobo7168 YEAH BHAHAHA
The only character that got redeem was the collector
@@jazminescicluna2607 Did she hate him as a human being or did she think her writing of him was bad?
Y'know, at this moment, Luz still had access to the Titan's power.
The boiling rain "conveniently" appearing and disappearing was not a coincidence.
Oh shoot. Didn't think of that. His total b*llsh**tery must've dampened her mood enough to call on the Boiling Rains. Seeing him getting stomped must've brightened it.
It's the Titan giving a final "screw you" to Belos before passing on.
@@EHH246 I like this more because that would mean he died to the Titan's will, which is what he claimed to know
@@skeleton-bullfrog Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
yeah!! earlier in the episode the titan helped her realize that wanting belos to be dead doesn't make her bad like him. So this is such a great moment for her, unmoving in the face of his manipulation, finally shutting him up forever.
Which also ties into belos's character in how, as a manipulator, he NEEDS to feed off others to survive. So him being killed by her unwillingness to let him manipulate her is thematically perfect.
I love the contrast between Belos and Luz in this scene. The small details like the boiling rain literally melting Belos into mush as he winces in agony compared to the way it just bounces off of Luz with a magical ting. It really shows Luz's almost symbiotic relationship with the Isles if that make sense, Meanwhile the Isles have been actively rejecting Belos since his arrival, like a parasite. That's so smart considering how he basically turned into a LITERAL parasitic fungus/lichen that overtook everything.
And let me guess: Eda, King and Raine would be the agents of the inmune sistem that literally trample Belos until nothing remains from his harmful😊 presence.
I actually kinda thought that myself. I thought: “It’s almost as if the isles itself loves Luz, as she loves it, while Belos (or Philip) has always been hated by the isles, as he hated it”.
@@jackbelinski2661the isles does love luz. Don't you remember when luz was talking to the titan?
@ Of course I do.
My point is it’s poetic
I didn’t try to kill everybody that wasn’t me I’m so glad he got stomped to the soil
This scene was honestly poetic.
The way that he died trying to do what he did his whole life; lie and manipulate people
The way Luz just *stands there menacingly* as the rain slowly begins to pour down on him,probably even CAUSED by her.
The way his human features slowly melt away,as he changes from the man he used to be into the monster he had become/always was
And the fact that he died getting stomped into nothing by the people he thought he was superior to.
*In other words,the prick deserved it.*
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 couldn't have said it better myself
I doubt he's actually gone, though.
@@harkaway9006 Okay but counterpoint:
*He melted in acid rain and got his skull stomped out.* Even if there was goo left,he can't exactly control it if he's dead
@@galacticglitch4086 He was able to after the Collector sent him flying into that wall.
now belos is banned from every world in the multiverse similar to chip whistler when he got banned from big city because both make damage to both places the demon realm and big city
For a second I thought Belos was gonna say "You’ll be just as bad, just as conniving, just as evil as ME!!!" I thought that this bastard was finally gonna at least admit that he’s a rotten pure evil monster, but no even until the very end, he still believes the witches are evil and continues being racist towards them. Burn in hell, Belos.
I kinda wish he realized his mistake and saw Caleb one more time as he dissolved away. The stomping was satisfying but felt unneeded.
Belos is just like Frollo. They think what they are doing is good but trying to kill every person who is different from them is pure evil. They had no honor.
Freeze in hell you mean
Finally philap died I laughed so hard but cried when the series end
@@jemmellpyron2527 I agree, I wanted to see more about their backstory
“We’re human. We’re better than this!”
Man, self-awareness is Never a fascist’s strong suit, is it?
At that point, the witches are more human than he ever was.
@@yeoldeseawitch No they aren't. They're literally a different species.
@@grabble7605 metaphorically
@@grabble7605 Ever heard of a metaphor? 🤨
@@grabble7605 And Belos was a hateful monstrous prick who turned into an undead goop monster. I think having pointy ears and a special organ is closer to us than him both morally and biologically by the end.
I like that Belos tried to use a common fantasy trope to trick Luz. Considering her obsession with fantasy that might have worked on episode one Luz.
It's a nice little call back to how much she's learned since season one.
Character Development has its advantages
Well, maybe if he weren't a hideous nightmare-thing resembling a mouldering corpse.
Belos: NO!!!!! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!?!
Everyone on the Boling Isles:.............
.................(Is he for real)?
Belos: I MEAN WHAT SPECIFICALLY?!?!?!?
*inhales*
Manipulated people
Kept the Boling Isles under your foot
Murdered your brother
Only sought out power and glory
Being a Fascist
And a bunch of other crap that I can’t remember atm
Yeah he is essentially Big Jack Horner
@@geoffreydunsmore1561 Nah, at least Jack knows he's a bad guy.
@@joseph86255 true, he was very aware of his own villainy
That line from Big Jack was hilarious though 😂
Belos: "Only I know how this all turns out!"
King: "Turns out ya dead."
SVTFOE reference
I like that reference!
I see what you did there
and this time the narcissistic gooey asshole doesn't get vindicated from beyond the grave as our tween protagonist destroys all magic.
no I will never let that go.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET"
Luz’s silence when Belos was spouting nonsense, is what I live for
Edit: nice to see so many people agree with me, that man had to go.
The way she moved her foot aside has he begged for his life was priceless
@@jazminescicluna2607 exactly
She did what you must do against malignant narcissist: Refuse to engage. Do not fuel their supply, without your attention they're nothing
Honestly. When Luz put the second to last blow on Phillip via the Boiling Rain she had a look on her face that screamed “I’m not mad at you, I’m *done* with you.”
She hit him with the Kakyoin stare
What I also love about this scene is that in many old pieces of fiction, evil witches melt when in contact with water.
And what do we see happen to Belos?
It's boiling rain...
@@friendlybendy2070 Yes, a form of water 😂😂😂
Ironic death for the witch hunter.
@@ht82smash42 it's acid...
"I'm melting, melting! Oh, what a world, what a world!"
Belos/Philip: _"It forced me to do all those Horrible things"._
Me: No, all those horrible things were brought upon yourself due to your complete unjustified hatred and racism towards Witches along with you being responsible for murdering your own brother, Caleb. Not to mention you’re nothing but a manipulative, tyrannical, heartless, and Irredeemable monster causing pain, harm and misery to everyone residing on the Boiling Isles for decades from Eda, King, Hunter, Raine, Lilith, The Collector, among many others you have harmed and manipulated.
Ethical Bug (from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish): *_"You’re Horrible!!! You’re an Irredeemable Monster!"_*
Philip: Wha-what took ya so long, idiot?! Would’ve been cooler if he just owned it in the end and killed himself! One last act of being the best villain!
@@IsaiahRichards692 except even Jack Horner recognized he was a piece of shit. Belos never once recognized the fact he was evil, he was delusional enough to think he was the savior.
@@IsaiahRichards692 awesome but disney would cancel the show for like the 100 time
roleplaying in the comment section? cringe af
@@sardonicprincess Dude I don’t do role-play as much and if you don’t like something and can’t say anything nice then don’t bother commenting.
-Spread misinformation like no tommorow.
-Manipulated most of the Boling Isles.
-Tired to commit Genocide.
-And so much more that I can’t even count.
He had it coming.
Left people in a state of paralysis when testing Sigil magic, stabbed his own brother, killed flapjack who supposedly belonged to the witch Caleb went with, mutilated his own body with glyph magic, and he literally survives off of the souls of palisman.
It's like if Hitler had access to magic
@@misterdj6671 Literally the best summary of his character
-Possessed Hunter and Raine
-Manipulated a god for years
-messed with the corpse of another god
-Tried to turn Eda and Luz into stone

Luz's look of "are you seriously trying this?" really sells just how screwed Belos was during this moment, and that Luz remained dead silent the entire time
Imagine you're Luz. You just had a very long, very traumatizing night, with several of your friends being in mortal danger or at the whims of a childish god. You literally die, get powered up by your friend's dad, return to life and lay the world's most epic smackdown on a man who by all rights should've corked it centuries ago, and now this same man is not only spouting a bunch of nonsense about being cursed, but can't even do it convincingly.
Luz's expression just screams 'oh for the love of King's dad, _please_ just shut up.'
@@Jordan-wv2xz exactly. She wasn't so much mad at him as she was done with him.
@@geoffreydunsmore1561 After everything he did, Luz's expression was the most appropriate.
nah she's like do you think i'm stupid enough to fall for your bs.
Só faltava a luz ter acreditada
If you think about it, Belos kind of got some of the most popular ways of being executed for a witch. He was burned by the boiling rain, since the rain killed him that kinda counts as drowning and finally he got he skull and neck broken, like when being hung.
I guess you could say his death was a more PG version of the executions
oh I thought it was a Wicked Witch of the West joke; they killed him by spilling water on him and he melted
How ironic he lived and died as the very thing he hated
there’s also a verse in the bible that talks about how satan’s ultimate fate will be to burn in a lake of fire for eternity. i always figured it was a reference to that
Also "HE'S MELTING! HE'S MELTING!".
@@mozambiquemorbid2441The Bible was another excuse and tool to persecute people especially witches. Or just accuse people of being witches.
I do like this scene but Hunter not being there to help put a end to belos was a missed opportunity. Glad king, eda and raine got to do it though
I agree, but we just have to settle with Hunter’s defiant stand against Belos back in Thanks To Them. At least Belos can never hurt him ever again, and Flapjack and everyone else who suffered at that monster’s hands have been avenged
Honestly I dont think hunter wouldve done the same that they did due to the trauma he experienced and probably would just stand there traumatised 😔
There’s a missed opportunity seeing him being looked down upon by both Hunter and his Brother ghost
@@babytitanfan but Decembers opportunity of having begging for Caleb‘s approval ?
I'm ok with Hunter never having to interact with that monster ever again.
So , it didn't redeem the villian, kept the best friend + love interest together without destroying or merging the universe, destroyed the known titan magic aka they got rid of the main characters power as a sacrifice+ kings dad
This show LEARNED what mistakes other shows had when they got canceled too soon 🎉
Seems you exposed Svtfoe
@@creepymaster2746I really should finish watching SVTFOE. I like the idea that shows like SVTFOE, the Owl House, and Gravity Falls all exist in the same world. Alex Hirsch has even hinted that the latter two might really be connected.
@@piercelindenberg6842 SVTFOE unfortunately can't exist in the same universe as this due to the ending, but Amphibia, Gravity Falls and TOH seem to be connected
@@sander303 fair enough.
Luz can still do magic though? Glyphs still work soooo great job Daina!
I love how she isn't even angry at him, just disapointed
That step back away from him while he is melting is just cold and I love it
Luz knew he was beyond help. Beyond pity. BEYOND HUMANITY. She didn't what to waste her breath on a pathetic creature like Belos.
I like your profile picture
Hunter would’ve love to at the very least witness his monster of a “uncle” dying as what he truly was a pathetic and petty wast of…whatever is left of a human
@@fantasy-artist4425 he has been traumatized enough, watching someone melt in boiling rain would just be more trauma, no matter how evil that person is
@@real_mushroom_hunter have you forgotten that he’s the source of all of Hunter’s trauma he’s the reason Hunter has both his physical and mental scars he’s the one Hunter wants to make sure he can never hurt anyone again
Luz Noceda is a true hero because her compassion, kindness, understanding and friendship makes her a real human being. Belos might be human but he shows no compassion, no empathy, no understanding and no friendship towards others who are different. This is why The Owl House is my favorite animated series and comfort show.
Belos is the textbook definition of a sociopath
@@geoffreydunsmore1561 he leave his journal to trick luz to help him to do his dirty job
@@geoffreydunsmore1561 and a narcisist as well
Can I say I was cheering while belos was getting stomped to a pulp
Belos definitely had to die😂. I didn’t think that was going to happen tho 😅
He deserves it after all hee done
Bro its goo
Cant die
Me too I was like "LET'S GO"
Man got curb stomped
I like how he tries to trick Luz into thinking he's a good guy now, but she doesn't buy it for a second.
A deceiver till the very end.
I absolutely love how in any other villain, the line would have been:
"You'll be just as bad, just as conniving, just as evil, and just as unforgivable as ME!".
But not to Belos. It seems its building up to that, but no. To the very end he keeps his delusion.
Even at the end, he was blind to his own racism and bigotry. He died being as hateful and miserable as he was his whole life.
I actually do love that Luz has no lines there. Just, that blank ‘done with your crap’ stare. It’s cuts so much more deep
Sometimes silence speaks louder than words
This is so satisfying. The fact that even someone as kindhearted and forgiving Luz just stood there and watched the monster die shows that he is truly rotten to the core.
Good ridance.
You did real good, Luz. Real good.
Just like our friend raine said, that was extremely satisfying.
She didn't even just stand there, she was technically slowly killing him seeing as how she's the one controlling the rain at that moment
@@Lexicon865 oh really? I had no idea. Damn.
@@nickwilliamson4109 Well yeah if we think it for a moment the rain just stays until he dies
Not even someone as pure and kind as Luz could save the monster Phillip had become. Even in his death throes he refused to take responsibility or admit how wrong he was, blaming the witches yet again for something that was ultimately his fault.
Damn, they didn't even give him a magic death, they just stomped him🤣
Yup after everything he did it was more then deserved
Well the only way they can kill a pest, is the same way us humans do it, just stomp those nasty bugs till they're dead.
He doesn't deserve a magical, epic death
@@WorldMania03 yea _😂_
He didn’t deserve a cool looking death
I love the cold stare Luz gives Belos after he says “terrible curse”
She’s just like, “I know your bullshit”
*Belos:* Luz, we're both human! If you don't help me right now, then I'll die!
*Luz:* I missed the part where that's my problem.
heheheheheheheh!
BBBBUUUURRRRNNNN!!!!
Bully Luzuire
Seeing Belos/Philip getting his retribution from first suffering pain from being burned by the boiling rain until being stomped to death by Eda, King and Raine was the icing on the cake for all the trouble Belos/Philip has caused on the Boiling Isles and couldn’t agreed more with Raine themselves, _“That was extremely satisfying”._
Yeah dudes we saw an onscreen villain death. No falling off a cliff hung by vines, no attacked by hyenas in the shadows, no falling off a church… how often does this happen? Granted he wasn’t human anymore but dudes I think this may be the first.
@@beatrixthegreat1138 i guess there's toffee too
@beatrix the great Or getting dragged to "the other side".
@@qmchale5130 In a way, that would have been more fitting. It would have been perfect to see Belos' Puritan Holier Than Thou Ass be dragged off to Hell to be The Devil's guest for eternity.
Called me sadistic but I prefer fate worse than death punishment because death was too mercy while enternal suffering was the opposites
Okay, I have SO many things to say about King’s dad, Hooty, and King, so here it goes!
1) King’s dad using a bread pun shows that he has always been watching over his son and has seen him using bread puns with Luz. How sweet is that!
2) King’s dad had a worm coming out of his eye, but upon further speculation, it’s actually Hooty! This means that Hooty is a PART of the Titan - a giant worm if you will - and was probably sent/created by the Titan to protect his son and his family!
3) This episode confirms that all Titans use a different language of glyphs, which is super cool. King has created a new glyph language on his own, which is (again) super cool!
Actually I think that kings dad altered his form while watching his son grow up just like how his cloths are owl house inspired (bad girls coven shirt) I think the little hooty is actually a fake excessory
That's going to be tricky to translate to other languages
If Hooty is part of the Titan as suspected
That means that Hooty is essentially a Titan tapeworm
@@owlishwillow7242
Oooh good point!! But I also remember Dana saying that Hooty’s origin was gonna be (partially) revealed in season 3, so I took King’s dad having Hooty in his eye as the reveal of Hooty’s origin, but u never know lol
@@22espec
I agree lol
Luz just looks at Belos like "You can't be serious. You're still trying to trick me?! You think I'm an idiot?!"
It will still work on most heroes.
@K 9 Poodle thankfully, Luz didn't fall for it.
*"🅱️@#$% this trick getting old."*
Raine: “That was extremely satisfying”
Me: “I agree”
Yes very satisfying to see Belos finally gone
They were right
To see the emperor get what he deserves is what makes the show great
Heavy from Team Fortress 2: *at Belos* You are dead, not big surprise!
Good riddance to the emperor for tricking people
Fitting that Eda, King, and Raine were the ones to kill him since
He was an enemy of Eda's family for generations and Eda is also a descendant of Caleb.
He used the titan (King's dad)
He used Raine's body.
Full circle.
Raine can also represent the people who where Semi manipulated by him (most of the boiling Isles)
@@axomelia2024 that too. It's very fitting that these 3 were the ones that kill him.
I like that Luz didn't kill him since she knows it's not worth it since he did this to himself to the end. She let Eda, King, and Raine do it since he wrong them the most.
Just wished Hunter was involved too, or at the very least saw the others stomp Belos.
@@michaelgualtieri651 exactly hunter was the last thing needed for this.
@@michaelgualtieri651 wish the ghost Caleb and the other golden guards were there and Belos see them one more time before he dies. He will see that everything he did was for nothing.
Seeing Belos meet his end like this is the best; probably one of my favorite-satisfying villain deaths.
I’d say he’s one of the top 3 satisfying deaths followed by Pre Vizsla (The Clone Wars), and the Gun-Toting Ant (Hunter x Hunter).
Dude his death was so f****** s*** it was a complete joke on how he died
@@deavin4293Belos has been a powerhouse throughout the entire show. Seeing him helplessly melt and try to appeal to Luz is (to me) like watching Bill Cipher beg Stan for mercy as he gets erased. Seeing the one who held all the cards in such a position of weakness is just wonderful to see.
But, admittedly, seeing the Collector flick Belos into the wall so hard he splatters everywhere is also good.
@@piercelindenberg6842 it would have been way better if he died to the hands of his own creation
@@piercelindenberg6842I wouldn't say erased... More like banished from that reality/multiverse/dimension permanently, omnipresent beings like him can't exactly disappear...
I actually just noticed something. At 0:44 Luz is looking away, as if saying she felt sorry for Belos, because he was doing what he thought was right, but knew that there was no way to save someone like him. Truly makes Belos's death more dark and meaningful, but either way, despite not getting much info on him, he deserved it.
Feeling a little pity that hatred could warp someone so badly they're no longer human.
You don't even feel anger towards them, just emptiness and disgust.
She couldn't bring herself to finish him off, but also couldn't bring herself to forgive him. He was beyond redemption. So instead she just stepped back and let the others do the deed.
Because it's sad, in a way. Belos only became like this because of his surroundings at a young age. he had no choice but to adapt to Gravesfield's witch hunting colony.
"don't you want to make peace, Luz?" She has made peace. She has accepted that you are a lost cause, and the best thing that can be done is putting you down like a mad dog.
Finally, a show that let's us curbstomp fascists.
FRFR
What's a fascist
@@c.vteamlawrence6280 A far right political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Steven Universe?
Fascist? from around the 1700s or 1800? I don't think so
I would have included Luz saying “I’m not responsible for you, Philip.” Overlayed with the specter of Caleb saying the same thing.
No, no... the message here needed no words, and justice was definitely served.
For a narcissistic, zealous megalomaniac like Philip, he was killed suffering from their worst fears: being exposed for what they truly are; their saccharine lies falling on deaf ears; their threats ignored; and finally, dying an undignified death groveling on their knees... and remembered not as a hero, but as a monster.
@@tr4nsg0th1ca 👏👏👏 beautifully said, my friend
@@tr4nsg0th1ca Well said
That's is just ripping off Adora calling Catra's bullshit at the end of season 3, Luz and Belos didn't have the same dinamic to guarant that.
@@darkalicornkingdoom3572 it'd be more about Luz telling herself that than telling Belos.
This honestly deserved a full season 3, a two-parter endgame with Belos, and one final confrontation between Hunter and Belos.
However even with only three episodes Dana still produced something amazing that gave Owl House a solid ending.
Belos: "If you let me die you'll be just as bad as those witches!"
Luz: "Then die. What do you want me to do, argue with you? I'm not on the debate team, this isn't mock trial."
nope, for Belos it's a real trial, he's guilty, and the sentence is execution!
Exactly supremacists like him are too stubborn and prideful to ever admit their fault. Trying to convince them they're wrong is like trying to get a brick wall to run a marathon.
In the end, Belos was nothing but a glory seeker. There was absolutely nothing pitiful in his final moments, and just how undignified his death was really sells it.
The only thing left to do is remove his statue in the center of gravesfield. So he has no one else to idolize him.
And he the price that belos paid was both his humanity and sanity.
Did anybody get the feeling that Luz made it rain on purpose in this scene since she still had her titan power?
danggg, yeah, that's a nice notion! The rain did stop after belos is fully 'gone'.
Okay that is so magical and supernatural
Holy shit Luz just straight killed a man XD
I thought that's what happened, when he said cursed she got angry And summoned rain
I had the same thought since the rain wasn’t effecting her
"We're human. We're better than this!"
I love the irony in that statement. Belos, at this point literally a magic-wielding mud monster responsible for murder and attempted genocide, still believes he is anything close to human.
Also begging a human to not kill because "we're better than this" when he himself both killed his brother and would have petrified Luz with barely a second thought at the end of S2 is... Yeah, he deserved the stomping and more.
@@frenchtantan
he also actually killed her like ten minutes ago as well...
@@frenchtantan He break the thou shall not kill rules.
Amazing. Here we see how pathetic Belos/Philip really is. He takes the form of his young self to tempt Luz into forgiving him, like the Snake in the Garden of Eden.
But Luz isn’t having it. She stands strong and tall for what is right, like a Queen.
Belos: "You;ll be just as bad, just as conniving, just as evil, and just as unforgivable as those witches!" While Belos was talking about witches, those words were a literial description of him.
He was projecting his flaws onto them.
@@geoffreydunsmore1561 That's right, buddy! 👍🏻
That's how fascists be, every accusation is a confession
Watching Belos try to pull all those blatant lies and excuses out of his ass in his last moments was a great way to cement him as an irredeemably self-serving wretch at his core. Watching Luz being absolutely stone-faced levels of unphased by them was even better.
Luz knew at that point just how far gone he was. Belos refused to admit he had become as monstrous as he perceived the witches to be. Not even she could save his soul, because Belos had no soul left to save.
@@geoffreydunsmore1561 "not even she could say his soul, because Belos had no soul left to save." brilliantly said!
@@geoffreydunsmore1561I hardly believe he ever even *had* a ‘soul’ of ANY sort to begin with.
0:44 the way in which Luz is upset when seeing Belos suffer, is the opposite of how Belos loves to see others suffer, and that is why Luz is the great good witch
Parallel personalities portrayed properly.
Yeah. And Belos is so pathetic.
The thing about redemption is that it’s a choice. A sinner would choose to try to seek it, if they are genuinely willing to do it
The Collector wasn’t wrong to try, he’s a child who literally just learn the value of redemption and was redeemed himself, especially with himself being a misunderstood child with godlike power
But Belos would never try to seek redemption, he never acknowledged what he did was wrong. From slaying his brother, to everything that followed
He wasn’t asking Luz to save his soul, to simply spare him, and give himself a chance to backstab later
Luz knew what turned him into this, yet knew it was no longer worth the effort, that he was no longer worth the effort
Exactly. People like Belos prove that not everyone deserves redemption, especially if they don't *want* it to begin with.
Not just redemption. Belos was beyond humanity at that point.
Belso's speech before he dies in short," I didn't meant for this to happen, I was under a curse. All this I was doing was the curse's fault" When Luz ignored him and rejected to help BelsoI "You're nothing worse than the witches I hunt", but I find it funny how Eda, Raine, and King kill him like humans (stomping to death)
Like a bug.
Ah yes, B E L S O and B E L S O L.
Dramatic irony is the best irony
Imagine how much of a fucked up twist it would have been if he was actually telling the truth and was genuinely cursed and they just killed an innocent dude
lmao that would fuck up the message but I think a ytp with that twist would be funny
@Nascour Luz: oops *covers with dirt
he murdered his own brother....and countless others. In cold blood. Even before he entered the boiling isles, he was far more a monster than anything in the demon realm
Well I'm pretty sure it's implied that the titan was controlling the boiling rain that melted him..... and I'm pretty sure they knew
You could tell by the tone he was lying, so I doubt it.
I like how in the same way Belos' well intentioned guise melted away over the course of the series, the human form he tried to pull with Luz also began to melt, and by one of The Boiling Isles most iconic features. The place that helped Luz find a purpose, also destroyed the man who was always convinced of his.
Wanted to see what the other forms of weather looked like. Would be funny to see Belos get turned inside-out by a painbow.
His thin facade melted away to reveal the monster he truly was.
"Anyone who chooses the path of evil destroys himself." -Pres. V.Z.
I’m extremely satisfied that they didn’t try to redeem Belos. Most kids shows would try to make him sympathetic or something so he could be “forgiven”. I got to respect Luz for making sure he got what was coming to him.
His backstory would have ruined it for sure.
He didn't suffer enough in my opinion, in fact, if I met Matthew Rhys, I think I would punch him in the face.
He really tied to pull the I was controlled by evil card😭
My only complaint about the entire show is that there’s still some unanswered questions about belos and his backstory that I think should’ve been on screen but it’s forgivable since Disney cut this amazing show short🤬🤬🤬
If Disney didn’t cut it short then Collector wouldn’t exist
@@sizar9003 he was a thing in season 1 right so I don’t think the cut had anything to do with that
@@asumi_channn961 em literally no. Dana Terrace herself said that they made the Collector so that they could end the show more quickly. There was nothing about him being in season 1
This is the only time it is okay to laugh at somebody dying in a painful death.
L Belos/Philip 😂😂😂😂
Even to the end, he refused to take any responsibility for his actions.
He brought this upon himself.
I love that they actually let belos die in the end! No half-baked “redemption”, no rushed out depowerment. Just simply letting belos suffer the consequences of his heinous actions at the hands of those he hurt.
While villain redemption and de-powerment can work really well, it needs to be though out and fit the themes of the story and character of the main villain. Belos is a villain who fits neither of these categories, being to his very core a irredeemable, psychopathic monster. A fanatical, murderous tyrant driven by blind hatred and ambitions to destroy all who he hates.
People like belos don’t change as they lack the empathy and self reflection to care about other people. His crimes against all witch kind/ Caleb/ Hunter/ and the other golden guards/ and everyone else he’s hurt are to numerous to ever be forgiven. And even without glyph magic or his monster form, he is too dangerous and ambitious to be left alive.
I honestly couldn’t stop laughing at Belos’ attempt to trick Luz
Luz: Die
Phillip: Luz look I’m a good person
King, Raine, Ed’s: *Aggressively stops in rage*
Raine: Good my eye. You jacked my body when I was still a puppet
Eda: You've been hounding me for years after my sister cursed me
King: You tried to petrified Eda for you sick empore rules and you made Luz cried
What I really love about this ending is that season 2 had Luz trying to get through to Philip, and now HE is the one begging HER for mercy. Talk about poetic justice!
I think a detail I love about this scene is the fact that...that's not how curses work. At all.
Eda's curse is a prime example. It responds to emotions, primarily fear. It lashes out when it thinks it's danger, it's pretty much the embodiment of fight or flight. It's not some horrible demon set on ruining lives, it's scared and desperately trying to protect itself and doesn't know how. It's frightened and hyperaware of everything. And when it gains better ways to protect itself, it tries. It's literally just fear and pain and anger manifested. Not some horrific boogeyman.
Then there's Belos.
Belos CHOSE to be this. CHOSE to do everything he did, curse or no curse. We saw how he looked when he loses control of the curse in COTH and the *beginning* of HP. Him hurting his nephew at the end, very clearly controlled? Choice. Him trying to kill literal children? Choice. Him trying to commit GENOCIDE? Choice!
Nobody forced him to do anything. Curses are stress and anger and heightened emotional response sensitive, constantly running on overdrive trying to protect themselves. It is not some force that corrupts and completely changes someone. It influences them, makes them do things that they heavily regret, but it's things like Eda attacking her dad because the owl beast had a flashback to the Collector. Lilith transforming when she's heavily emotional and breaking down. Yknow, not calculated. Panic responses. Not *plotting genocide.* There is a massive difference between the two! And at the end of the day, it's WORLDS apart from each other. There is no excuse for what he did. And there never, ever, will be.
And more importantly, curses are essentially terminal illnesses, and what did Luz' father died of again? Exactly. This is like telling someone whose loved one died of cancer that your own cancer forced you to do bad things. An insult to a dead person.
@@juanrisa945 it's like saying "You can't be upset at me! I'm sick! Would you be upset at your family if they made a mistake when they were sick?? :((("
It's a complete and total guilt trip. "You're not allowed to be upset at me because I have issues too." And Luz having lost a father to a terminal illness, almost lost a mother to what is essentially a terminal illness, and having an aunt who struggled with it? It was the wrong person to dare pull that card with. Not only is it not how curses work, but he's trying to use her own horrible experiences to get to her.
He had it coming and, like you said, it's an insult to people who actually have those conditions to make it out to be some "turns you evil" bullshit. Man I love this show.
It explains it, it doesn't excuse it.
I was expecting him to try and manipulate her one last time by finally admitting to himself that he was the evil one all along. But like King’s father said, he’s too far deep into his own delusions to recognize that.
Even in death, he’s a petty loser. Good riddance.
After all the things Belos has done and the thing he has become he's anything but human.
"Men's hearts hold shadows darker than any tainted creature."
Belos held the darkest shadow and was already a tainted creature by tainting himself for centuries.
@@ivanpn6206 yeah he was human first and then later became a monster from the inside out.
No arguments here.
@@marksalmoneussorcerersupreme agreed
Belos STILLS human in my opinion, why? Because a lot of real people in the real world were just like him
0:05
The moment he tried to play the victim……
My brows furrowed with anger
My eyes stung with tears
My teeth clenched as I seethed, “YOU KILLED YOUR BROTHER….YOU KILLED HIS WIFE….YOU KILLED HER BIRD; YOU KILLED FLAPJACK!”
Nothing he says or does can ever undo all the damage he's done. The only thing he can do is die and free the world from his toxic influence once and for all.
He didn't kill Evelyn
@@iceace4277será?
Ele matou também diversos errantes sombrios, devorou inúmeros parlismas, mentiu para TODOS das ilhas,etc
"We're human, WE'RE BETTER THAN THIS!"
"WELL, WE AIN'T!"
Stunning comeback ❤
TH E WAY THERE IS NO REDEMPTION FOR BELOS! YASSSSS
I absolutely loved 0:59. Something about luz just looking down on belos without saying anything gives me much needed satisfaction
How Philip changes to his "Belos voice", at 0:20 when he says "it forced me...", is deeply unsettling
I love how Belos seriously tried pulling the "Hey cmaan! I'm just a little guy, nooo!! I'm just a little guy and it's my birthday, I'm a little birthday boy!!"
“Ew it’s on my claws!” I love King
I'm just sad we didn't get any more lore of the Wittebane brothers and Caleb's history remained untouched I would've loved to see theories coming true in form of Eda's family after some time finding out that it is actually a clone of their ancestors but I'm happy of what we've got him working with Eda's parent's is making the theory very accurate.
Well maybe we'll get something like Marcy's Journal
@@revanius2213 Sadly I do not think so as Dana left Disney, but it would be a happy surprise to see maybe Philip's journal
@@ThePupeteer It'd be sick if it were like an actual journal and it has every bit of history of the brothers on it
@@squigglyo0 Ye maybe pieces of pages would be ripped and when we connect them then we'll se whole story with painting writen down or the last pages him as Emperor now thinking about that times. "Fascinating absolutely fascinating".
"We're human! We're better than this!" Says the pile of slime and bone.
I love that Belos never really accepted that he had thrown away his own humanity a long time ago.
Love Luz for not giving Belos the “Talk no Jutsu”, because honestly the breath wasted on someone like him is pointless. If he couldn’t try to see the witches he tried to destroy as just people, then there was never any shred of hope for him.
Exactly. Plus, her silence says it all.
One of the most brutal villain deaths I've seen in any Disney property. Can't say it wasn't deserved though. Bye bye Belos.
One of without a doubt. I think the only one worse would be in tarzan where the guy literally hangs himself.
Definitely one of the most enjoyable to watch, in my opinion. Right up there with Bill Cipher’s death.
I found it funny more then brutal. Stomp him out like he was 🔥
Pretty sure Shan-Yu and Frollo had an equally burning demise. Belos’ remains should’ve been tossed in lava for extra measure. Dude is literally too angry to die. 10/10 would add flamethrower to curbstomps
It's been forever since Disney gaves us a messed up way on how to end it's villain.
no hyper lasers no explosions. they literally took their foot and stomped on him. i just about died from the simplicity of this final blow XD
Know what's ironic? So many witches showed adoration and worship to Belos, not to mention blind loyalty. Belos's motivation was to be recognized as the hero of his own deluded story, for everyone to sing his praises and for the longest time, for 50 years, people did. They believed all his lies and fabrications. The thing is, it was witches that were doing that. He preferred humanity to hail him as Phillip Wittebane, witch hunter general. Through his actions and betrayals, no one in the boiling isles or the human realm will ever mourn or remember him fondly.
I love how Belos/Philip died as he lived.
An evil manipulator and literal monster until the very end.
Well said.
I quote a certain comedian-turned actor who became a wartime leader:
"Anyone who chooses the path of evil destroys himself."
I was expecting his destruction coming from Hunter, or in some ghostly retribution from the ghosts of Caleb. That would’ve been poetic.
That’s literally what I wanted and maybe if the show had been given more to work with, we would’ve gotten that, but this was still pretty satisfying
I would have loved to see a scene between Caleb and Phillip kind of like the scene between Ursa and Ozai in the Avatar The Last Airbender comics.
Honestly imagine if we see Phillip in the in between... only to have Caleb and the souls of all those he killed drag him to the great beyond... Phillip finally dying screaming.
Luz be like: I won’t kill you, but I don’t have to save you.
YESSS
@@zhal-me5gf WHERE DID YOU GUYS WATCH THE NEW EP I CANT FIND ITT
@@Vent2922 Same here I don't think its on their UA-cam yet
@@Vent2922 Try going to wcostream. It worked for me.
Belos: I was cursed by dark magic to do all those awful things.
Luz: **whispers** this is a load of barnacles...
Two things:
One: The perfect SpongeBob meme
Two: Belos, "I HEARD THAT!"
It is and it's funny cause even if that was true that's not how curses work in terms of the lore of the show as seen with the Owl Beast it has more of a flight or fight instinct and acts more like an illness not something that controls you
I love how the boiling rain is what weakens him and basically kills him (the stomping just sort of solidifies that.) Boiling has connotations of purification and the fact that rather than being purified, Belos simply melts away is heavily representative that he is just pure evil. There is no 'human' to that man as even the literal act of purification finds nothing other than evil within him. The fact that he get stomped as a final death is also metaphorical as those he once oppressed are finally able to have control. His entire death is so poetic-- beautiful idea.
That was beautiful to read.
Also in the fact that he died the way he lived a pest something to be stomped on
@@geoffreydunsmore1561 Thank you!
@@gadget2327 Great point! I also love how they didn't go the route of forgiveness, usually in cartoons or childrens programmes the message is 'even villains need forgiveness :(' which is true in a lot of places but is also completely unrealistic to how actual people would respond to a villain of Belos' extent! The fact that the witches were the ones that had a very human reaction to Belos is even more telling of how cruel he is, they are exactly like humans and their reaction serves as a final push in solidifying that!
I gotta love how luz makes an annoyed face when Belos tries to claim he did all those terrible things while under a curse
I agree
I can imagine her saying in her head “your lies may have worked in the past but they won’t work now”.
Even trying to compare himself to Eda when her curse was dealt to her by fate while he willingly made himself a monster.
@@cartoonking1789 technically it was a curse that Belos indirectly caused to fall upon Eda.
Belos made the Emperor's Coven to basically be his underlings.
Those underlings sometimes squabble for Belos'. Like Kikimora. Belos probably likes this because that means they won't turn on him.
Lilith and Eda wanted to join, but they'd only take one.
Lilith curses Eda, unaware Eda planned to lose anyway.
Therefore in a messed up way, Belos is to blame.
especially considering even within the lore of the show that's not how curses work a prime example being the Owl Beast it wasn't some monster trying to hurt anyone, but rather it was a beast that was afraid and misunderstood
Belos: "Luz, we're human. We are better than this!"
Says the dissolving pulsating talking mold
Perfect slip of words cause its the one time he didn't say they were "good" or "righteous". No no, he said "We're better", cause in the end that's all he cared: to be the one who's "better", who is the one that was right and that everyone'd prise for his deed. Such a perfect end for a disgusting insect; An insect's death.
Even the titan himself saw that belos wanted nothing more then to be the hero of his own delusional story
Poor dissolving pulsating talking mold
personally, I think that calling Belos an insect is an insult.... an insult to insects that is.
@adrubbadventures2040 well said
I love that Luz did nothing to help Belos, but didn't outright kill him either. She simply stood there listening to his obvious lies, waiting to see if finally... FINALLY Belos would show some self awareness of his crimes or repent.
But as Belos continues to try in vain to lie and manipulate Luz, finally blaming the witches of the Boiling Isles, Luz simply watches and continues to wait for him to change, knowing he won't.
If Belos had displayed genuine regret (as the collector did), I feel Luz would have helped him. I truly do. But we and Luz both knew that wasn't going to happen. Belos had every chance to embrace the Isles and leave behind his misanthropic crusade.
But he didn't. And he got exactly what he deserved.
As much as I like redeemed villain endings, I can't deny how deeply satisfying this was. Because unlike the Diamonds, or Zuko or King Andrias or Sasha or Catra, Belos was NOT redeemable. He was not a person who saw all the horrors his deeds had wrought, all the awful things he had caused, and saw the error of his ways. He was not someone who would look at all he's done, and do what he can to fix things like Amity or The Collector. Heck, he wasn't even willing to go out with dignity like the Nowhere King, realising that his oblivion is the only way things can end. Right to the end he was bigoted, hypocritical and desperate to be the hero.
Luz was giving him that stare parents give you in public to let you know you're about to get beat into the fourth dimension when you get home 💀💀💀
Lmao it was super funny when king was still stomping on him while they stopped 😂
0:31 Disney rushing production be like
1:42
I love Eda rushing to catch her baby.
Goodbye Belos, nobody Will miss you
Nope, no one. Not even his brother, who's smiling above in Heaven while dear old Phillip's rotting in Hell.
Here lies Phillip Wittebane also known as Belos.
He never won.
Plot twist Caleb was a person worse then belos somehow and just manipulated Evelyn and tried to kill her all the time
The thing that sucks though is that he still has a monument in Gravesfield. And that people still believe he was a “hero”.
well yea hard to they was point blank with those kicks
Anyone noticed how the boiling rain just came and went only for as long as Belos remained? I dunno about the rest of you, but that definitely felt like to me it was King’s dad giving one final middle finger to that delusional monster
His dad's power was within luz at this point, so she literally summoned the rain to kill him
also remind that king 's dad watch belos tell disinformation and commit genocide by pretending to be a divine message from him
Love Luz's face being like
"BRUH, deadass trying to trick me...Again?"
The fact that he even tries to create another excuse to manipulate her again meaning he didn't learn anything and thinks she's the same naive girl like she was back in Season 1 but looking at this now we can see the BI has helped her onto maturing and not to be easily tricked like she was before. The fact that Luz just stood there and not saying anything is quite powerful and a parallel towards the last episode where Caleb was standing in front of him and not saying anything. The fact she didn't kill him as well just shows that she isn't like him and never will be.
This series is truly remarkable and inspiring thank you Dana, cast and crew for all of your hard work throughout the years.
Belos, evil until his very last moments. Even better that he faded by BOILING RAINS, a callback to season 1.
He tells Luz that she will be just as unforgivable as those witches, yet he’s the one that tried wiping out all life in the demon realm.
When he yelled "Don't you stand there!" You can literally hear that he went mad because he realised he could not manipulate with his silver tongue anymore.
This was a fitting end for belos. Instead of luz trying to talk no jutsu him, he was already beyond redeemable and his fate was sealed.
Collector already tried earlier in the episode anyways. There can be no redemption for those that truly cannot see that they need it, for those that bite the hand that reaches out. He was given many opportunities, and took none of them.
I think Belos might just have survived.
@Jack Penn oh definitely not. He knew his number was up, there wasn't even much of him left. What The Collector did to him had already left him extremely weakened(took months draining hosts to be in any condition to confront anyone and even then when he returns to the Isles we find he's still unstable and needed to consume a Grimwalker corpse just to survive long enough to reach Raine
And from there he just keeps losing more and more goop while "Belos Prime" becomes more and more emaciated. By the time he attaches to the Heart his entire lower body was gone and his _ribcage_ was exposed.
And what was left was stomped to death. And just to make sure we know he's going, when we see King flicking the goo off his feet it disintegrates into the air.
