This Is Why the Collector is my Favorite Character

[@StareachValcin]

I like how the Collector really isn't a villain, just a misguided and lonely child that had much to learn, while also having the capacity to care, to do what's right, and to learn from their mistakes to try and be better. I'm glad that Luz redeemed the Collector and King became the Collector's friend.

[@elvie5150]

That’s why he’s my favorite character. He’s not exactly a villain, he just wants friends and to play games, and to be free. He’s a godly child pretty much.

[@StareachValcin]

@@elvie5150 I wish you added that last scene between the Collector and King, when King allowed the Collector to keep François and told him he wished to see them again. It's a good scene of both of them really becoming friends.

@@elvie5150 it is a good scene, especially since it's one of the last scenes we see of the Collector in the series finale. We don't see the Collector in the timeskip, even though we do hear their voice when going through the door to the boiling isles.

[@TurtlGal1]

I just realised, the reason he wanted to protect king when Lilith was coming up is because she said Nephew, and all that the Collector had seen of Nephews before was of Belos killing all of the Golden Gaurds

[@tacotown4598]

Which also further shows there was some part of the collector who thought belos was evil.

[@telefeeb1]

@@tacotown4598 yeah, I’d guess he knew from pretty early on that belos was evil. Or at the very least Not Nice. But the collector was both desperate to be released from the mirror and was so lonely as to not be picky as long as someone would be around him. (And overestimated the power of pinky-swears) That and his not having a real grasp on the concept of death. Probably just figured belos played rough with “his toys” and just preferred to get new ones rather than fix the old ones.

[@austinramey4137]

Not to mention when Lilith said that King was her nephew, they reacted out of aggression because they saw how Belos was treating all of his "nephews."

[@lilyaka9194]

WAIT RLLY I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT-

[@zshrooomz]

@@lilyaka9194SAME 😭

[@InkedAnimations]

I also love how King's dad acknowledged that he made a mistake by sealing them away. I wish Luz told The Collector that King's dad was sorry and he felt really bad for what he put them through.

[@LilBlueOnk]

I feel like she did at some point, or else he wouldn't have decided that he needed to grow up or that he needed to leave the world. He saw things differently after their encounter.

[@Ferindel]

I honestly felt like Luz instantly had a big sister instinct toward the Collector. She could see that he was just a kid.

[@Benexe-wm6ux]

I watched a video essay talking about the difference in the Collector's personality in S2 vs S3 episode 2 (it was made before the finale aired). They were saying they think the difference in emotion is because the collector doesn't have a clear sense of identity, and desperately wants to not be alone, so he mirrors whoever is giving him attention at that moment. Thus with Belos, he was a lot more mean and made snide remarks all the time, probably similar to the sarcasm Belos would show. But, when he had King as a more positive influence, he was able to be more childlike

[@DoveJS]

That makes a lot of sense. Even if it wasn't quite that, obviously the Collector would give off the same vibes because he's going to give back what he gets. If Belos treated him poorly (which is likely because Belos treated everyone poorly), the Collector would respond poorly and even after that, not immediately leave that headspace when away from Belos's influence and bad vibes. The Collector was effectively trapped in an abusive relationship, much like Hunter. Since King was kind and the Collector had more time to be around him and be free, the Collector had a chance to relax and be himself again.

[@RareGacha_YT]

oh hey I watched that video too ^¬^

[@tacotown4598]

yeah, ipad kid is definitely one of the best character on the show. I kind just wish we had more of him-maybe some more fleshed out time with king to hint more at his lore and show his progression from the badass we see in kings tide to the much more subdued collector in for the future, to the little kid he is inside that comes out in watching and dreaming. also I just wanna see my favorite adorable little god do some more crazy shit.

just realized his line about "what is this stuff?" isn't directed at the growing stuff on his hands or at their feet, its referring to his tears. he only asks the question once he starts crying and you can see him get confused and try and wipe them off.

[@elvie5150]

I actually noticed that, too! But I still was confused on what he was talking about because I could’ve been wrong 😅

[@bananaeclipse3324]

I keep going back and forth on what they were referring to. At first I thought it was their tears, then I thought it was the gunk, then back to the tears. Honestly I think they were talking about the gunk, we can see them at least almost crying when they and Luz were having a heart to heart conversation, I think that they would’ve cried after being sealed away and/or seeing all the titans die. I know it would be interesting character wise if they didn’t know what crying was, but they also saw Eda, King, and Luz cry when they met up again. Also probably every time a golden guard was about to be killed.

I loved The Collector ever since they were released. It only took the finale to finally make him my favorite character too. Boy did the kid had us fooled. When in shadow form, was he really that innocent or his the maliciousness through a childish disposition? It was quite hard to tell. I was so happy when it was the former! He just needed someone like Luz to point him in the right direction. Trying to redeem Belos to apply Luz's lesson was truly a great attempt, so it was so sad to see him trying in the last person who desereved it. It was WAY too heartbreaking to see him cry and learn about death the hard way. Seeing the person that made him open up and teach him about friends just vanishing like that and there was nothing not even his powerful magic could do must've done a heavy number on the poor kid 😭

[@Scarshadow666]

I like that this show took someone that would have been considered a scary, immature cosmic entity in any other art/media, and instead addressed how he's still a child. It's like if someone looked at all the kids-struggling/dealing/inflicting-powers trope (like that one kid from one of the Twilight Zone episodes, or most of the psychic protagonists from Stephen King's books), and realized that they're still kids that need guidance, and most of them came from a rough home life. The empathy for the Collector feels refreshing. (It also kinda reminds me of when Discord was redeemed in MLP, though he's an adult that's aware of how his powers affect the world).

[@4rdency]

They definitely became one of my favorites immediately from the first time we saw them only cuz of their design. But now he's one of my favorites just cuz of his character in general. At first, I thought he was going to be the new major villain for the end of the show, but the more we saw him the more I realized he wasn't a bad guy, but simply a child who's been misguided and needed help for becoming a better person. Dana did the right move on giving The Collector character development and becoming good rather than keeping him evil and sealing him away again. He's definitely an S tier character for me in The Owl House! tl;dr: I loved him only for his design, but later loved his character. It's good how he wasn't turned into an actual villain but was given a second chance. S tier character!
