Belos' Fatal Flaw | A Character Study

I was debating whether or not to make this video after The Owl House season 3 was over, but I decided to write it now. Belos’ character arc pretty much came to an end the second he was splat to goop by the Collector, so even if he gets some moments tying up loose ends in other character arcs nothing I say in this video essay should be rendered completely obsolete. If anything, I’m confident that it will just further prove the points I make.

IF NOT then i guess my points will get kicked into oblivion it just be like that sometimes
