I don't want to give myself too much credit, but I think the first video I made on Alador definitely helped in creating a healthy amount of discourse around his character lol

I adore that Amity didn't accept his hug, most shows would have had them hug even when the parent didn't acknowledge the harm they did, while this feels like a really good stepping stone moving forward in their distant relationship while also having Amity set boundaries.

Alador isn't the worst parent compared to Odalia. Granted, he's still pretty bad and if he does get a redemption arc, I hope he can acknowledge his mistakes and how much time he had missed with his children, he should seek to fix that. Plus he also needs to stand up to his wife and get her to lay off Amity and the twins.

See Alador seems like he actually cares about Amity whereas Odalia is just trying to live vicariously through her.

I love everything in the picture. We see Darius booing, Odalia simping, and Eda and Raine goofing off together. Everything in the picture is adorable

it's nice to see that Alador is not completely a bad parent. Just one of those flawed types that are so passionate about their craft that they miss out on family matters going around them.

Love that little touch at the end, Amity doesn’t go for the hug, and he clearly understands what that means, even if Amity didn’t really consciously intend anything by it. It’s a little thing but I like the fact that they took that step to show even if they’ve started the healing they aren’t going to have a healthy father daughter bond immediately.

I love that amity shook his hand instead of giving him a hug, he’s not giving him full validation but shows that they’re working on it now and it’s amazing

I find him incredibly relatable: distractible to the point of seeming apathy, but still always wanting the best for friends and kin.

Odalia seems to view Amity more as a pet than an individual. Alador may not be nearly as bad, but he’s still enabling Odalia’s terrible actions by staying quiet and distancing himself from his family. I like how they called him out for this and acknowledged that he isn’t a good parent. That being said, Alador at least seems to care about Amity. I just hope he can redeem himself later and be a better parent.

Hes a bad parent but his sleep deprived and does everything his wife tells him moms can be very scary so i can understand it

"Edalyn's kid?"

"Keeps trying to dye my hair green."

the way i see it, Alador is a bad parent, but he isn't a bad person. seems like he just wasn't really cutout for parenthood, and i'm glad this episode showed that mending a relationship takes time, and you don't always need to forgive someone who's hurt you immediately. I think Alador has a much better chance at redemption, and honestly I kinda hope we see him actively trying to be a better father in the future. Odalia on the other hand, is the worst and i hope she never gets redeemed

"Edalin's kid?"

I think I'm starting to piece a few things together about Alador's character.

The Owl House really needs spin-offs on the history of everyone before Luz, Amity, Willow and Vee.

I really like Alador's character as you know he's been awful to Amity and how she shakes his hand shows he is not instantly forgiven but there's room for him to change.
