* Amity and Luz becoming an OfficialCouple in "Knock Knock Knockin On Hooty's Door", as well as Amity's growing feelings for the human throughout the show has undoubtedly made many fans ecstatic, but it's hard to look back on Amity's AlphaBitch and {{Jerkass}} behavior toward Luz during her early character arc, especially since the former tried to have Luz dissected by [[SoftSpokenSadist principal Bump]] over [[DisproportionateRetribution her top student badge]], accepted Luz's witches dual challenge to maim Luz and [[KickTheDog threatened to give up her witch dream]], and was generally rude and dismissive when Luz [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking offered to help at the library]]. Especially [[{{Hypocrite}} calling Luz a bully]] over a misunderstanding with her diary and [[OneSideOfTheStory refusing to listen to Luz's perspective and what really happened]]. All while Luz was [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint trying to be nice, talk to her and bury the hatchet the whole time]]. King even lampshades this in "Eclipse Lake" by referring the attempted dissection by their "crazy principal".

* In "Sense and Insensitivity", Luz is shocked to discover that King killed off the "Luzura" character in their book. It's mostly PlayedForLaughs, [[spoiler: but becomes a lot less funny once Luz suffers a DisneyDeath in "Watching and Dreaming".]]

* Luz's worry Eda's curse worsening in "Agony of a Witch" and her immediate assumption that Eda will die when it fully consumes her hits a lot harder when we later learn that [[spoiler:it's not the first time she's had to watch a parent waste away from a terminal illness.]]

* Despite the bad first impression of Luz that he received as a troublemaker, [[SoftSpokenSadist and threatening to dissect her]] for [[DisproportionateRetribution trespassing and posing as an abomination for a student's project]], Principal Bump becomes fond of Luz as he thanks her for saving the school and breaks tradition by letting her attend all the tracks to her heart's desire. He even comes to cheer her on when she takes Amity's place as Grom Queen. [[spoiler:When the Blights force him to expel Luz, Gus and Willow, he cries ManlyTears about it out of guilt and helplessness and is relieved when they return]].

** Alternatively, the "misunderstood" part could be interpreted how [[spoiler:Philip sees himself as a hero and is delusionally convinced how witches are evil based on what he was taught during the 1700s, and how he has the need to live out his witch hunting fantasy to avoid accepting the fact that he killed his brother for being in a relationship with a witch and how Philip was wrong about everything and his actions toward his "noble crusade" were AllForNothing. The voice actor's statement can be taken as how he considers Belos' perception of himself, and how Philip is really just a pathetic PsychopathicManchild who never grew up, admitted his faults, and is desperate to convince himself of his heroism to suppress his guilt for murdering Caleb, rationalizing it and doing whatever it takes to avoid facing and dealing his problems.]]

* Despite the bad first impression of Luz that he received as a troublemaker, Principal Bump thanks Luz for saving the school and breaks tradition by letting her attend all the tracks to her heart's desire. He even comes to cheer her on when she takes Amity's place as Grom Queen. [[spoiler:When the Blights force him to expel Luz, Gus and Willow, he cries ManlyTears about it out of guilt and helplessness and is relieved when they return]].

* Before his debut, Emperor Belos' voice actor said that he believes that Belos is [[NotEvilJustMisunderstood not evil, but simply misunderstood]]. [[spoiler: Come "Hollow Mind," we get to see that he is most certainly not misunderstood and is pure evil. The aforementioned claim that he's not as bad as he seems? ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou He just tricked the audience into believing him, like he's done to almost everybody on the Boiling Isles.]]'']]

* In "Really Small Problems", Gus and Willow describe the scare-is wheel's ability to invoke nightmares, and in response Luz proclaims that "...This mama is ready for trauma!" Given everything she's experienced throughout the series, most everyone agrees that Luz wasn't ready at all.

* Luz convinces the Golden Guard that he doesn't want to be responsible for [[spoiler:the deaths of multiple Palismen, and he lets her and the beasties go]]. Amity tries the same thing a few episodes later in "Eclipse Lake", [[spoiler:telling Hunter that if the Emperor truly loved him, he wouldn't discard Hunter for being 'useless'. It ends up not taking, and Amity lampshades that Luz usually gets better results by being nicer to people]].
